RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS IN
REVOLT OVER CUT FORCE

p Huron, S. D.. Nov. 6.--RaiIway mail
clerks between here and Rapid City
are in revolt over an order issued by
John n. Price. chief clerk of the rail-
way mail service at Aberdeen, cutting
down the number Of clerks on this run
from nine to seven. r
This order, IL Is alleged, is even more
drastic than the one which caused the
trouble five years ago on the Tracy
Pierre run, and representation will
be made to South Dakota's delegation
in congress in an effort to have the
order revoked before the states mail
service is tied up the way it was in
1910. ... W. -
1t is claimed that the mail clerks in
the Aberdeen district have the record
of working more mail per man than
any other district in the Tenth di-
vision, which, ii is said, is largely re-
sponsible for the clerks taking such
strong exception to this ruling, which
requires seven men now to do the
work OF nine heretofore

MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE
QUESTION DECIDED TUESDAY

YanlIton. S. D.. Nov. 10.-Not for
years has so much general interest
been shown in any question in Yankton
county as on the bond issue OF $780,
900 to aid in bridging the Missouri riy-
er. to be decided at a special election
tomorrow. 1t is certain that a very
large vote will be polled, as nearly all
citizens OF the county are taking
strong grounds either for or against
the project. Both sides are claiming
victory.
In the city of Yankton the sentiment
for the bond issue apparently is over
whelming, but in some Of the other
towns Of the county and in some of
the rural districts the opposition is
marked and aggressive. .. ... .....
1t is not commended that any definite
deal has been outlined for a bridge or
for a railroad, but that the county aid
Of 100000. IL voted, will be used as
the nucleus for financing both ventures.
Guarantees have been given by mem
bers of the bridge company and by
county officials that none Of the bond
funds viii be used unless q bridge and
railroad are constructed.

CANADA BUSINESS APATHETIC
Moscow Men Find Little Indication OF
Good Times in Alberta

eff there are any people in this
country who are anxious for war, they
ought to go UP into Canada" said G.
P. Mix, manager of the Idaho National
Harvester company, who returned from
a business trip to Alberta towns yes
terday. Business in the towns is at
a standstill, lumber camps are shut
down, mills are imperative and even
the mines are worked only two or
at most three days a week. At North
port, tWenty-three Austrians who were
endeavoring to enter the United States
were turned back to Canada by Uni
ted States officers where they are held
as prisoners by the English govern
ment. We were at Fernie, Cranbrook
and McCloud, and found everywhere
the same apathy in business. From
this side of McCloud on the north
there is the best crop outlook that that
section of the country has ever known.
They have had copious rains, and un-
less something unforeseen happens they
will have bumper crops.
Mr.. Mix was accompanied on the
trip by F. e. Mix both of whom have
business interests in that section.

CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS LIKELY
Rockefeller to be Charged with Re-
spOnsibiEity for Massacres

WASHINGTON, May 25.-It is re-
ported here that an attempt will be
made to bring John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and three officials of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, J. F. Welborn,
L. M. Bowers, and E. H. Weitzel, to
trial in Colorado on charges of being
responsible for the Ludlow massacres
during the coal strike. Attorneys for
the labor interests have closely follow
ed the evidence brought out in the ses-
sions of the Industrial Relations COM
mission. They hoped to obtain evil
dence on which to base a demand for
criminal proceedings. The story on
which the labor attorneys base their
case is the same as that in the case
of John Lawson, labor leader, who
was tried and convicted of murder in
connection with the Ludlow labor
troubles.

BOISE, May Especial. Bills
for power furnished state institutions
led the state board of examiners to
request the public utilities commits
sion to make an examination of the
rates charged the state at the various
points where power is purchased in
the hope that the rates may be lower
ed. A resolution to that effect was
introduced by the governor and plac-
ed on the minutes of the board The
Investigation will include not only
power rates but those of telephone and
telegraph companies and all public
utilities.
While the claim for insurance on
the Warm Springs hatchery was al
lowed, the board, by resolution in
troduced by General Peterson, asked
that the heads Of the state depart
next meeting a statement of the
amount of insurance carried on the
property under their direction or con.
troll, the rate paid and the value of
the property insured.
A number of claims were ques-
toned by the board and some were
held up for further investigation but
none were dishonored- The governor
made objection to claim for veteri-
nary services rendered to the Cald-
we'll experiment farm on the ground
that the state veterinarian could have
performed the services needed and
saved the state money but the claim
was approved. ii
