Railroad Board thinks Probe
into Delay Of Reports Did
Not Go Far Enough.

First Monday in December-Was

to get into the Printers Hands.
tBy H. D. Paulson.)

Bismarck, n. D.. Feb. 26.-Members
Of the board Of railroad commissioners
are not entirely satisfied with the
status Of the probe that was made into
tho reason why state officers failed to
have their reports ready for the con-
sideration Of the legislature.
The house committee proposed that
the boards of officers be compelled to
show cause why they should not be
fined in accordance with provision
covering the question Of delayed re-
ports. The railroad commission has
submitted the following communica-
mittee on supplies and expenditures:
I'm response to the report of the
committee on supplies and expendi-
lures recommending that state boards
which have failed to file their annual
report on time, be required to show
cause why the members of said board
should not be fined as provided in the
revised codes. section so, we desire
to state the following facts:
First. The members Of the house
committee are in error in assuming
that the annual report of the board
OF railroad commissioners should be
filed on or before September !, as pro-
v!ded by section 73. It has been the
custom Of this and former boards to
make their report to the governor on
or before the first Monday Of Decem-
| ber pelsuant to the provisions Of sec
ton 1853. which fell in 1912 on the
second Gay OF said month.

definitely established during a confer
ence at the capitol today. Mr.. Palmek

declined.
Those best informed said today that
President-elect Wilson had settled
upon those who could fill the posts of
secretary Of the interior. agriculture.
commerce and labor and attorney gen.
eral. but that it had not been deter.
mined how the four portfolios will be
distributed among them.
Should the senate pass and Presi.
dent Taft sign the bill creating a de.
partment of labor with an officer in
the cabinet. Wilson would have an
additional officer to appoint. 1t is not
known how far the suggestion for
filling the additional post has gone.
1t is said that nothing definite has
been determined upon the attorney
generalship. but that the man most
prominent in Wilson'S consideration
was democrat who had done some
antitrust work. The name is not
mentioned. 1t was stated today that
Mr.. Burleson is the only member OF
congress who will be in the cabinet

Under the auspices of the Organ
lied Labor League, he will address
a meeting at the North Side Turner

Mann's life has been an eventful
one. He is a member of the English

Commission, appointed by the En-
glish government to inquire into the
causes of labor disputes and their
remedy.
He was the first president of the

But Mann had a great struggle in
obtaining foothold in Germany. Be
fore it was finally achieved he was
arrested and expelled in 1895. He
had the same experience the next
year.
He later made an organizing tour
through the Scandinavian countries,
followed by eight years in Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa.
While IN Australia he was impris-
oned for five weeks on a charge of
obstrHcting the street. He was con-
nected with an extensive strike in
New South Wales, when the silver
miners resisted cut in. wages. He
was tried for sedition and conspiracy,
and, after a long and bitter trial was
acquitted. y"

Compensation Hearings
Closed Today With
Farmers Disappointed

Hartford, March 1.-THE hearings
on all matters relating to workmen's
compensation were concluded, this az
ternoon, at the capitol before the ju-
dietary and labor committees. An
hour was allowed for a general sum-
ming up by those who had not previ-
ously been heard. This included repre-
sentatives of the agriculturists, the
state grange and some industries
which had not been heard before. The
time of one hour allowed by the COM
mittee for the closing speeches was a
disappointment to the farmers 5udg-
ing from comment before the hear
ing opened. Many thought they were
entitled to period of time in fair
proportion to that allotted to the rep
resentatives of the manufacturers, the
labor unions and the federation of Ia
Dor who have had three afternoons
Those who attended were inclined TO
fear that a bill would be reported
which would include farm labor and
it was to make certain that the com
nittee should have reasons why farm
labor and the small manufacturer
should be exempt under the bills that
those appearing, this. afternoon, were
desirous of more time.
