MINERS CHIEFS TO CONFER
President Levi. Calls Meeting Of Coal
Miners Leaders at INDIANAPOLIS,

mInerS eSa0Sr6 at Inotandpou6.
= Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 2S.-Confront-
ed by the demand of President Will
son that the strike call, which would
stop production of soft coal in the
United States, be rescinded, John L.
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers of America, last night
by telegraph invited 25 district presi-
dents of coal producing states and
members of the miners scale commit
tee to meet with the international
executive board at 10 a. m., Wednes-
day, to consider the strike issue.
1.-THE statement of President Wilson
opposing the strike has thus far had
no results so far as we are con-
cerned," Lewis said. No word reached
him, he stated, from government
sources during the day.
Lewis expects to reach Indianapolis
at 2:4O p. M, where he will make
preparations for the meeting Wednes-
day of the international executive
board. He said he expected no de-
velopments prior to this conference.

Lower California.
MISSING SINCE AUG. q
United States and Mexico Take Steps
to Capture Two Murderers Who
Are known-story Of
sufferinss.

San Diego, Calf, Oct. 27.-It is Off
cially announced here that Lieutenants
Cecil H. Connolly, of San Diego, and
Frederic B. Warehouse, of Weiser,
Idaho, army aviators missing since
August 81, were slain in Lower Cali
fornia by two Mexican fishermen.
The announcement was made upon
the arrival here of the destroyer Aaron
Ward, bringing the bodies of the two
aviators from Bahia Los Angeles, on
the gulf of Lower California, to which
point they had flown after losing their
way in border patrol fight from
Yuma, Ariz., to San Diego.
Steps Taken to Capture slayers.
According to Major R. S. Bratton,
head of the military party sent from
here to recover the bodies, the slayers
were from Mexican sloop, their iden.
tity is known to the United States and
Mexican government and steps are be-
ing taken to capture them.
The destroyer also brought part
Of a story of the sufferings endured by
the young aviators in the form of notes
scrawled in part on the wings and
fuselage of the de Haviland airplane
in which Connolly and Waterhouse
made their last flight. Some of these
messages evidently written when the
aviators had almost lost hope of being
found were of such tragic nature
that Bratton asked the newspaper
representatives to refrain from using
them out of consideration for the off.
GERS families.
Major Bratton said that the two avi.
ators had gone d9 days without food
or at least without much to sustain
them. The fate that drew them from
their air path remained with them un.
til the very last. Major Theodore Mac.
Auley in one of his flights to find them,
flew within 60 miles of the spot where
they stood guarding their plane.

Presidents Demand for Delay Of Coal
Strike Will Be Fully Supported.

Presidents Demand for Delay Of Coal
Strike Will Be Fully Supported.
Washington, Oct. 2S.-The govern
ment is standing pat on President
Wilson's ultimatum to the soft coal
miners of the country that the strike
ordered for November must not take
place.
The whole federal machinery, al
ready set up for the emergency, is
ready to deal with conditions in the
mining fields unless the executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America, meeting Mt Indianapolis
Wednesday, votes to rescind the
strike order.
In the face Of statements by John
L. Lewis. president Of the miners
organization, that it is too late now to
stop the walkout, there is strong
belief in official quarters that the
strike will ut least be postponed.
This hope of averting industrial dis
aster is based largely on the feeling
that sentiment throughout the country
is overwhelmingly for peace, regard
less Of how the people may view the
reported grievances Of the miners.

RUSSIA EXAMPLE OF SYSTEM THAT COLLAPSED
BECAUSE RULING CLASS PREVENTED PROGRESS
People Forced Achieve By Accomplished
and Workers Take Over Greatest Public Ownership
| Experiment History Of World

II England today is the most per-
feet example of system in process of
change by solid, orderly growth
through the development Of co-opera-
tives. public ownership, and labor or
ganization, Russia is the most striking
example of what may happen when
the machinery of orderly development
Is INSTRUCTED.
The machinery Of orderly develop
ment was obstructed in Russia under
the car until the old society became
so rotten 1t literally fell to pieces. It
became bankrupt morally and ma
terially. Old values dissolved before
new values were created. The bonds
that held men together in the old sys-
TEN gave way. Men became abso-
lutely untrustworthy and absolutely
self-seeking. The only forces of CO.
hesion left were spying and brute
force. When these failed, everything
went down together in the greatest
crash In history.
New System Born.
With the crash came first the DO
litical revolution until Kerensky, and
then the social revolution under the
soviets. Out Of this chaos gradually
emerged system of industry entirely
unlike anything that had ever existed
before in the history of the world.
Information as to what this system
is like has been brought to us by men
who visited Russia during and since
the upheaval. Among these witnesses
are Raymond Robbins, head of the
American Red Cross mission; Colonel
William B. Thompson of the United
States Army; Professor Ross, head of
the department of economics in the
University of Wisconsin; Wilfred
HUMPHREYS of the Y. NJ. G. A. Russian
mission; Major William G. Bullitt,
special American envoy to Russia from
the Paris peace conference; Lincoln
Steffens, American magazine writer,
who accompanied Bullitt; Arthur Ran
some, correspondent for London dali
les and author Of Russia in 1919" /;
Isaac Don Levine, American news
paper and magazine writer; John
Reid, William Rhys, Robert Minor and
others.
These witnesses agree on the follow
ing:

the pipes that connect with the top of
the. furnace.
The hot water furnace has a num-
Der of advantages. It costs a little
less to operate and is cleaner in that
there is no circulation of air from
room to rooms However, there is not
the changing of air and consequently
no ventilation Of the rooms as in the
case with the hot air method. It costs
more to install the hot water furnace
than the hot air kind. Both kinds are
efficient heating systems.
Keeping all the rooms at uniform
temperature makes the house more

means more energy to put into work
and more pleasure in life.

ton is In force in Russia.
Early this spring the nationalized
industries Of Russia had so far been
revived that it was estimated that
they were up to 20 per cent Of their
capacity. In addition, several thou
sand miles of railroads had been built,
mainly for military purposes. A canal
system, including lake and river con-,
nections, had been constructed from
the neighborhood Of Petrograd to the
mouth of the Volga river. Many high
ways had been built and other great
national undertakings were under,
way.
Enormous Handicaps.
Russia had all this time been under
close blockade which cut of all
outside sources of raw material, ma
chinery supplies, and kept the people
in half-starved condition. The gov
eminent was straining, every resource
to put down counter revolutions of the
old ruling class, and hold back invad
ing armies from Archangel, the MUIR
mansk coast, Finland, Esthonia, Let
via, Lithuania, Poland, eastern Uk-
raine, Roumania, South Russia, and
Siberia.
So great was the military strain
that the soviet government was
obliged to spend 80 per cent Of it's
revenues for war purposes. It had
only 10 per cent left to devote to build
ing up the new public system of in
dustry.
The new system of public industry
in Russia continues to show improve
ment, according to the testimony Of
the following men, who have most
recently visited Russia-Arthur Ran
some, Major Bullitt, Lincoln Steffens,
Isaac Don Levine, Wilfred Humphreys
and Robert Minor.
Farmers and Workers.
Soviet Russia Is the biggest expert
ment in public ownership in the his
tory of the world. It is also the most
striking example in the present move
ment of the people of cooperation be-
tween city workers and farmers. 1t
was the farmers and the town workers
Of Russia, aided by a few intellectu-
ais, who brought order out of the
chaos of revolution and built up new
system Of industry. Whatever may
have been the mistakes and errors Of
these workingmen and peasants, what
they have done in Russia Is an indi-
cation of what may be done by the
political and industrial cooperation of
farmers and workers in countries
were changes are possible by the law
and the ballot.

Wartime Provisions No Longer

Vote Again on Measure.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-President
Wilson unexpectedly vetoed the pro-
hibition enforcement bill yesterday
and within three hours the house had
repassed 1t over his veto by Il vote
of 176 to So. The total vote was
barely more than majority of the
entire membership.
Dry leaders in the senate immedi-
ately began laying plans to repass the
nous consent for its consideration
today, claiming enough votes to put
it through. They expect to act ON it
by Wednesday ut the latest.
The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition.
The objects of wartime prohibition,
the president said in his veto, had
been satisfied and "sound public policy
makes clear the reason and necessity
of it's repeal"
1t would not be difficult, the presl-
dent held. for congress to deal sep
arately with the two issues.
Veto Is Unexpected.
The veto hit congress like crack
of lightning. The house, getting on
its feet again, deserted its leaders,
who wanted to defer consideration
until Thursday SO as to round up all
the dry members. But the drys

CROP ROTATION SOLVES
LABOR PROBLEM ON FARM
(By w. E. Palmer, North Dakota
Agricultural College)

The one crop system requires a
great deal of labor at certain seasons
Of the year, but has nothing for the
laborer to do during the times when
the crops do not require attention.
This makes the labor expensive as
compared to system Of farming
that requires about the same number
Of men the year around. When the
crops are rotated and stock is pro-
duced the labor demand can be made
pretty near constant throughout the
year. This means not only that the
labor can be secured for less but also
that 1t will be better kind of labor,
as the best labOrers as a rule do not
want to go to work that offers employ
ment for only few months.
The grass and hay crops, for in
stance, do not require attention at
the same time as the grain crop. The
corn crop demands attention at still
a little different time, and the live
stock will require more attention in
the winter than in the summer, SO that
the farm on which a variety of crops
Is grown and stock is produced, the
labor needs will be distributed over
the year instead Of being punched at
certain seasons, as is the case in con-.
tinuous grain growing.
The aim in a factory is to keep
equipment busy as many hours in the
week as possible. The same needs to
be done on the farm. The horses are
a part Of the farm equipment that
under the one crop system is not kept
busy as many days in the year as
where the crops are rotateds It has
been found in Minnesota that on an
average the horse works but three
hours day, or as one editor put It:
1.-THE horse gets one meal for each
hour Of work DONE" North Dakota
farmers are rapidly turning to other
crops IN addition to grain, which is
going to improve the labor situation
and at the same time make the farm
more profitable. s,

FARM HOUSES MAY HAVE

(By w. c. Palmer, North Dakota Agri.

A furnace in the basement is one of
the best ways of heating home.
The rooms can all be kept uniform

ashes are handled in the basement and
not in the living rooms. This cuts out
