SHOE PRICES ARE
GOING HIGHER
Orders of Foreign Countries Is Given
as the Cause of Shortage in
the Local Supply

Local jobbers yesterday received
word that shoe manufacturers have
sent out circulars saying they will not
be able to supply the trade for over
six months unless the raw hide market
changes within a short time They
claim there is now shortage of stock
because of the immense orders that
have lately been placed in the United
States by Japan, Russia and England.
Last week Russia alone purchased
over $7.50O,O00 worth of leather in
American markets. Japan has bought
$1,000 whole hides, and this drain up
on local supply of raw materials has
caused heavy shortage in the avail
able supply for shoe manufacturers.
Michigan factories have sent out
notices that they can take no orders
for future business, but will endeavor
to supply the needs of all their Gus
toners for six months. During this
time they will quote no prices except
for delivery upon the day thine price is
made.
Already shoe manufacturers have
been compelled to substitute paper
for much of the construction of their
shoes where leather was used former
ly. They explain that unless this were
done, it would be impossible for them
to make shoes enough for the nation.
The paper is used for the inner Innings
and is said to be nothing more than a
filler upon which they can build the
wearing parts of the shoe.

Ignite COAL
$500 DELIVERED
Local Dealers Forced to Increase Price
Hard Coal Will Soon be $14.00
Several Reasons For 1t

Minot coal dealers have advanced
the price of Ignite coal, delivered to
the bins in the city from $3.50 to $500
to the Independent several reasons
why the increase is necessary
The cost of blasting powder used in
mining coal has increased to such an
extent that the wholesale price is now
higher than the retail price was year
ago and blasting powder is no small
item in the mining of Ignite.
Miners have been getting from 70
cents to one dollar per ton for mining
the coal, but there is talk of general
strike in the Ignite mines unless the
price is increased to one dollar per ton
on the average. The mine owners will
very likely have to meet the demands
of the miners. Miners have been get
ting 20 cents per ton in the rooms
where the coal is most easily mined.
Then there is the cost of the steel
for mine tracks to take into consider
alton. This has increased at ire
mendous rate.
The mines are having serious time
to get sufficient cars and the men are
not able to work uninterruptedly.
The cost of delivering coal has in
creased.
Eastern soft Goals cost around $1,000
q ton delivered in Minot and hard coal
costs $500 per ton. Dealers have re-
ceived notice that the hard coal sit
uation at the head of the lakes is very
serious and that it will be next to i'm
possible to fill the orders. Hard coal
will be increased to $14 ton in Minot
when the present supply runs out.

SMALL JURY is VALID
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION AT WASHINGTON.
Corporation Law of Wisconsin Held
Invalid by High Tribunal-Recess
TAKEN Until June 5.

Washington, May 23.-Juries of less
than twelve men when required by
common law and verdicts by less
than the entire jury. when provided
| for by state law are valid in cases
even those arising under federal law
the Supreme court held.
An p apt nad been made by rail
roads, -ued for damages under the
federal employers liability law to
prove such juries and verdicts did not
meet the requirements of the seventh
amendment to the federal Constitu-
tion-that cases at common law
should be tried by jury.
The decision upheld the Minnesota
law permitting five-sixths of jury to
return a verdict after being out II
hours and a Virginia statute authoriz-
ing trials before seven jurors. Two
judgments against railroads were af-
iirmed.
The action Of the federal district
court for northern Texas in dismiss
ing for want of jurisdiction the suit of
the Bankers Trust company for re-
ceiver for the Texas & Pacific Rail-
way company and the New Orleans
Pacific Railway company, and for the
foreclosure of a second mortgage on
the two roads, was affirmed by the
Supreme court.
The Supreme court annulled as I'M
constitutional the Wisconsin statute
making it the duty of state officials to
revoke the license to do business In
the state of any foreign corporation
which shall remove into any federal
court any action against it by any
citizen of the state upon any claim
or cause of action arising within the
state
Justice Reynolds, in delivering the
unanimous decision of the court, held
that it was enough to say that it was
impossible for a state to legislate
to deprive foreign corporation doing
both intrastate and interstate COM
merce of the privilege of removing
cases to the federal courts"
The court took a recess until June
), announcing that the last decision
day, until next fall. will be June -,
unless the business of the court at
that time makes advisable a later day.
