OPENING OF
SCHOOLS TO
+ Be DELAYED
Council Of Defense Reported
to Have Taken Drastic
:. Action. \

Peter Morgan of this city, wfos.is.
a mta b of the state council Of de-
Tense, announced last Monday night
at the labor conference held in the
city hall that the council had passed
a resolution requiring all schools in
the state to open no earlier than the
first Monday in October. When seen
today Mr.. Morgan reiterated his state
ment that such was the case.
The. reasoni for the step taken is
said to be the d%esirability Of enrolling
the school children in farm work for.
the late harvest season.
1t was added that school ssboards
would be notified by the state SUPER
intendent of schools within a short
time. The local county and city
school authorities have heard nothing
official about the action taken and. in
the absence of detailed information,
deemeds 1t was prudent not to COM
ment upon the resolution. VS. az
A member of the city board of edu-
cation today recalled that last year
the state board of education requested
required-schools to close for
SIMILAR reasons as those given for the
order of the council of defense, but all
the schools in Grand Forks opened
at the scheduled time, that is, early
in September. .s=t- .-.x.S.
If. he resolution said to be passed
by the council Of defense is in the
nature of a requirement. it is to be
taken for granted that all schools in
North Dakota will remain closed one
month longer than usual.

The purpose Of the fund is to
guarantee deposits in state banks and
while national banks may come I'M
der the plan, when federal regula-
tons will permit, none can be in
cluded at the present time. The law
creating the fund provides for assess
ments against member banks which
are required to pay into the fund
one-twentieth. Of one per cent of their
average daily balances each year tor
twenty years after which no. further
assessments will be necessary unless
the fund becomes depleted Should
any member bank fail, its depositors
are to be reimbursed from the fund
and public funds on deposit are in
cluded. "
More than a year has been required
to get the law in operation. All state
banks and trust companies have been
examined and those. that have been
found in a safe and satisfactory con-
dition have. been admitted. No list
been published but it is understood
very few banks failed to pass, the re.
quirements. AS a protection to the
fund, no banks not in sound condi-
ton will be admitted at the begin
ming. ssts s]<r ls

city. I. E. Hansen of Fargo: B. J.
Schoregge of Williston and J, r.
Waters the State Examiner. The
commission has been in almost con-
months passing on the reports and
examinations of the state banks.
The announcement received by. the
Northwestern Trust Company with Its
certificate states that the commission
has made every effort to admit all
banks entitled to membership and in
considering. such banks the commits
sion has pursued the policy of being
as, liberal a S possible o account OF
conditions existing at this time. The
commission may regulate the rate OF
interest to be paid depositors and.
while five per cen is fixed in the law,
it has been decided to permit six per
cent to be paid until October 10. Fu-
ture examinations and requirements
are to be more strict than in the past
and examiners will be given greater
authority. e-S'

~ 500 state banks in the state and as
everything is checked very carefully
some days may be required before all
notices can be mailed.

FUEL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION OF
 COAL SITUATION IS
 GOING FORWARD
Garfield's Objection to In- yentory of New York Coal Supply Is Subject of In-
 quiry Yesterday

Washington, November p. Failure of coal producing agencies to utilize culm banks, or waste coal, to relieve the fuel shortage, and Fuel Admin istrator Garfield's objection to Mayor Hylan's inventory last month of New York city's coal supply, were subjects of in- quiry today by the national committee Investigating the fuel situation.
 J. B. Neal, director of production for the fuel administration, and an owner of anthracite properties, told the com mittee he knew of no alleged under standing among mine owners to keep culm off the market as means of main taining prices. He attributed the failure of the owners of culm banks to utilize fully that product to a shortage of la bor, and a desire to prevent reduction of the output of fresh coal by taking men from the mines for the work of treat ing the cheaper grade.
 CALL FOR LETTERS
 The committee asked that letters of Fuel Administrator Garfield to Mayor Hylan objecting to New Yorlk's inventory

of its coal supply be produced and fuel administration officials agreed to present them tomorrow. The mayors letter to the nolfce commissioner ordering the sur vey to determine whether favoritism was being shown in the distribution of coal in New York, was read into the record bv William F. Burr, corporation coun- sel of New York. The mayor declared in his letter that while there was a dangerous shortage of coal in the city the securities of coal producing agencies had, increased in value.
 Figures were given the committee by Mir Neal showing an increase of 1,1SS, AT tons Tin anthracite shipments for the first six months of this year as com pared to the same period for 1917, al- though production from last April to November l6, fell off somewhat due to the influenza epidemic.
 Seventy-five per cent or the anthracite properties are owned by railroad com panies, MT. Neal told the committee. In answer to questions from Senator Reed as to whether the railroad owned mines engaged in price fixing, which other mines were compelled to meet, Mir Neal said there was no such understanding, and that occasionally if the outside mine owners had an oversupply, they cut the prices published by the railroads
 ~Mr. Neal said the amount of culm made ready for the market was regulated by the amount the market would take. R. V. Norris. a fuel administration en- gineer, testified that vast quantities of culm has been utilized during the last two years to meet the demobifized coal shortage. The cost of producing it. ac- cording to operators figures is about s1.40 a ton, he said, and it has sold for s2S6 a ton. More culm, he said, has been treated and placed on the market in the last two yeaps than ever before.
 The committee plans to hear more wit nesses on the New York situation to- morrow

,Bessemer, November 25.-( (Special)-The residents of Bessemer and vicinity are concerned over obtaining share of the s2oo,ooo to be expended by the board of revenue for the building of permanent highways. A large part of this fund, which is being raised through an ex- tra tax levy, will be contributed by tax payers from the southern end of the county, and it is believed that if suffi- cient interest is taken by the citizers in this district to lay their claims before the members of the board. that they will be inclined to asquiesce in their request.
 The road fund of the board of revenue will be augmented by a 15-cent tax levy, which will be for the road and bridges fund. and is it probably from this additional fund that the improve ments will be made. It is planned for q delegation of citizens to meet with the beard on their next visit to Bessemer when the matter will be discussed.
