Governor Officially Proclaims
Anniversary of Great
Rough Rider

October q is designated as Roose-
welt day in North Dakota by Governor
Lynn J. Frazier, in a proclamation
issued today. The governor says:
"Inasmuch as the Roosevelt Me-
mortal association, has made request
that October q, the birthday of Theo-,
dore Roosevelt, be observed through
out the United States in honor of the
memory of this great American, and
that meetings be held devoted to pre-
sentation of ideals of strong, clean
Americanism; and -.
"Inasmuch as Colonel Roosevelt was
at one time a resident of the state of
North Dakota and also former presi-
dent of our country, and was man of
excellent personal qualities and high
ideals; and
"Inasmuch as it is fitting that me-
mortal be erected and dedicated to his
memory as token of appreciation and
in recognition of his services to his
county;
Therefore, as governor of the state
of North Dakota, hereby set aside and
designate October 81 as Roosevelt day
and urge that this day be appropriately
observed both in the schools and in
such public gatherings as may be held

LANCER SEEKING
MODIFICATION OF
COURTS ORDER
Attorney General Declares He
Cannot Get Men to Make
Affidavits
WANTS THEM ON STAND
Believes Under Oath and Ex-
animation They Would
Testify to Truth.

Attorney General LANCER today filed
with the supreme court a petition for
modification of the courts temporary
restraining order in the matter of the
Scandinavian American bank, the state
examiner and others versus the state
banking board. The attorney general
cites the following as his reasons for
making this applications:
First, that by the order of October
Is, 1919, respondents were given un-
til October %, 1919, by your honorable
court in which to file additional af-
fidavits; that since that time affiant
and his assistants have been endeavor-
ing to secure affidavits which would
present material facts in the above en-
titled matter to your honorable court,
but that such efforts have been un-
availing;; that there are some five or
six persons whose testimony under
oath is material, and that some of
these persons have refused to give
affidavits and, still Others have indi-
Gated that they would refuse to give
affidavits; but this affiant has reason
to believe and does believe if such per-
sons if stbpoenaed before any district
court Of this state will tell the truth
and will testify to material facts which
this affiant verify believes should be
in the possession of this honorable
court.
Second, affiant further believes that
as result of obtaining such testimony
additional evidence will be adduced
which will make the conviction of H.
J.. Hagan and P. R. Sherman, officers
of the Scandinavian-American bank,
more certain; and further affiant has
reason to believe and does believe that
if such testimony were taken upon
order of this honorable court that evil
dence will be given which will justify
other prosecutions arising out of the
facts relating to the condition of the
Scandinavian-American bank
Upon the strength Of these presen-
tations the attorney general prays the
supreme court for a modification of
it's order of October Is to provide for
oral testimony to be taken before some
proper court designated by the su-
preme court. The attorney general
makes affidavits that the representa-
tions made are true to the best Of his
knowledge, information and belief.

KINDLY TO OUR
WESTERN SPORTS

San Francisco, Oct 2.-American
football and baseball have been sue
cessfully introduced at Using Hua

Ming S. Lowe, registrar of the college,
who was here recently en- route to
China after tour of the United States.
Eight years ago Lowe left for

After his arrival in China he OBJ

TEACHERS UNITE
IN DEMAND FOR
HIGHER SALARY
schoolma'ams Getting as Little
as $S5 Per Month Want
B Living Wage !.
TO BE DECIDED TONIGHT

Bismarck stands today face to face
with threatened strike of it's school
ma'ams.
Eighteen teachers in the grades
and the junior high school will this
evening file with the board of educa-
ton their demand for flat increase
Of $1O0 per annun.
If it Is denied the determined young
women do not state just what they
will do. They are. leaving that to the
imagination Of the board of education
and Bismarck papas and mamas who
have young hopefuls in school. -
personally, l. don't give darn"
was the concensus of opinion among a
dozen boys interviewed on the way to
school this morning.
They didn't mean that they didn't
want teacher to get more money, they
explained, but that they didn't care
whether school kept or not.
.ys As Low as $85
of US are getting as little as
1856 per month, for only nine months
OF, the year." explained one Of the
organized teachers today "That isn't
even living wages. We do not feel
that our demands are exorbitant.
There are only eighteen of us in the
grades, and the entire increase in the
school budget would be but $1,80O per
year."
Bismarck teachers salaries in the
grades range from $617 for assistant
instructors who finished high school
last year or the year before to $1,000
for the older and most experienced
teachers. Grade school principals are
receiving from $1,057 to $1,256.50. In
the high school, whose instructors are
not concerned in the present Strike" !"
salaries run from $1,000 to $3.50.
An organizer of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor has been at work in
Bismarck for the last two weeks.
Whether this has anything to do with
the teachers demands for more pay is
not stated. The eighteen organized
schoolma'ams have interviewed a
large number of taxpayers and pa
irons of the schools and have urged
them to meet with the pedagogs and
the board Of education this evening.
The teachers state that practically
everyone who has been approached
feels that their demands are entirely
within reason andS that the city can
we'll afford to pay'its teachers enough
to enable them to live decently.

The new postal inspector comes
here from the st. Paul headquarters.
His original home is in Anderson, s.

LABOR C0MPELS
THE READING OF
WILSON'S LETTER
Sick-Bed Note Declares Public
Expects Conference to
Stay Together
UNIONISTS MAY WITHDRAW
Heads Seem Impatient With Re-
suits of Round Table Ses-
sions to Date

Washington, Oct. 22.-Organized
labor's representatives in the national
industrial conference today forced the
reading of the letter to the conference
which President Wilson yesterday die
tated from his sick bed and in which
he declared the public expected the
conference to stay together until
every possible means had been ex-
hausted to establish "surer and
hearty cooperation between all the
elements engaged in industry" or until
it was revealed that the "men who
worked and the men who managed
American industries are so set upon
divergent paths that all efforts at CO.
operation are doomed to failure"
The letter urged the imperative
necessity for some action by the con-
ference to insure industrial peace dur
ing the reconstruction period.
Labor Group in Session
Immediately after the letter was
read the conference recessed and the
labor group went into private session
to determine it's future course. The
members plainly we're impatient and
some OF the publlc's and capltals
delegates seemed doubtful whether
the labor representatives would con-
tinue in the conference.
If the nations industrial leaders
and workers are to be without faith
in each other, constantly struggling
for advantage over each other and
doing naught but what is compelled,
the president said, the situation thus
created "would be- national disas-
ter"
Declaring that his mind turned
away from such a possibility, the
president said the conference should
stand together for the development
Of full program by which measur-
able cooperation within industry
might be secured and not break be-
cause full agreement could not be had
on each proposition or method sug-
gested. o..
