ARRIVE IN WASHINGTON

The movement started some time
ago for The Fort Peck Relief Asso-
citation resulted in a concrete orga-
nization with local representatives at
home and four delegates to congress
who have been in Washington the
past week and a half.
The Washington delegates, Messrs.
S. c. Moore, E. P. Calwell, P. E.
Burke and A. M. Foore were ap-
pointed at a meeting held in Wolf
Point September 18th. The delegates
left for Washington the following
week with a petition to congress
signed by several thousand names,
which they presented to congress to
more fully impress on congress the
necessity of prompt and favorable
action.
At the same meeting J. C. Lewis of
Medicine Lake was appointed acting
treasurer through Mr.. Foore's absence
to Washington. The expenses of the
delegates are paid by popular sub
scriptions from all surrounding ter
ritories and towns. The towns pay
through their commercial clubs OF
business mems associations, the farm
ers pay direct to the treasurer, J. C..
Lewis.
In Minneapolis Mr.. Moore talked
with Lewis Hill in behalf Of the

The purpose Of this meeting is to
form an organization such as those
now operating in the good roads dis.
tricts, to cooperate with county off,
cials in promoting the building Of
good roads. The Northeastern dis.
trict is the only district that has moi
had an organization Of this kind al
work and we are also the possessors
Of very poor roads.
Hon.. Scott Leavitt, president ol
the Yellowstone Glacier Bee-Line

expert from the state highway com.
mission, will be present at the above
meeting to help perfect a live work

Good roads improve the value Of
all property, and Northeastern Mon.
tana will not come in for her share
of road improvements from the state
unless we show by our organization
that we are in earnest in our road
work. All who find it possible to at.
tend this meeting should do so. Let's
make Northeastern Montana property
more valuable by organizing ant
working for goo; roads.

amount of the public fund deposited
in these banks to safely cover all

Workers Arc Out-Violeaee On De-
crease, Reports Show.
(By The Associated Press)


The third day Of the steel strike
passed without either capital or Ia
Dor having made any apparent ma
terial gains. Last night attention
was being focused on Washington,
where the inquiry into the industrial
struggle by the state labor commit
tee is to open today.
From their respective headquarters
industrial leaders and directors of
the strike issued their usual conflict
ing statements, which left still in
doubt the exact number of workers
out. William z. Foster, secretary Of
the strikers national committee
claimed that in the various centers
II, 900 more men had abandoned their
posts, bringing the total 342,0 900 but
in the Pittsburgh district officials Of
the United States Steel Corporation
and several independents" asserted
that the stream of labor had turned
and was flowing into the mills.
Unions Are Active
According to Pittsburgh reports
managers of the plants now are seek
ing to take offensive. They are sale
to be trying to induce wawerine
strikers to return. On the othel
hand, labor's recruiting forces are moi
inactive as shown by the fact thai
organizers from the mine workers
union have been called to reinforce
agents of the steel workers union in
enrolling nonworkers.

This news has appeared stimuli

Mr.. Gibbons writes:
Europe is on fire, and through
flames of hate there come daily
9limpses of a growing condition
which will shock the people Of the
Allied world when it is revealed by

"That shock will register that Ger

old ambitions, is preparing to realize
them in their fullest meaning in the
east.
"That shock will register still hard
er that Germany is doing this with
the knowledge of the Allies, and that
in practice there exists an under
standing between Germany and the

counter-revolutionary alliance against
