The I. W. W. troubles in Minot appear to be practically over. Scores of the members of the organization who came to Minot intent upon making trouble, have been persuaded to leave. Others have arrived in the meantime, but no attempts have been made to hold any street meetings. Forty or fifty men claiming to be I. W. W.’s are in camp on Dewey Dorman’s property west of the city along the river. They are being fed by sympathizers, but as their stay in this city is useless, they are being urged to leave at once.
