connected with the Oklahoma City
water system.

STATE in NEED OF
MORE Ignite MINERS

Bismarck, N. D.. Oct. 20.-Despite
the fact that Ignite mining compan-
les are advertising wages as high as
81 per day, western North Dakota
may find it difficult to obtain enough
native fuel this winter because of a
labor shortage, said Capt. 1. P. Bak-
er. fuel administrator for North Da-
kota. today.
The relative high price prevailing
for Ignite coal-$2.50 at the mouth
of the mine-has greatly stimulated
production" said Captain Baker.
Every mar who has a little coal in his
back yard is at work with pick and
powder. But it is impossible to find
sufficient labor. I don't know why
this condition should exist. I can see
no reason why any one. should not
be glad to find a winters job digging
coal, with good wages. a warm place
in which to work n SO little danger
as is connected with coal mining IN
