AN INTOLERABLE STRIKE

"Give US sixty per cent increase In
wages and a thirty-four week." say
the bituminous coal miners, cor we
will quit work." Consider the impi-
cations of the order to strike no No
vember first that has been sent out to
the men by officers Of their organiza-
ton. Senator Myers, Democratic SEN
ator from Montana, put it this way in
the senate the other day:
The demands made by the bltlumln-
Gus coal miners for increases amount
ing to 1853 per cent, over their pre-war
scale are the most monstrous and bru-
tai demands ever made against the
people of thic country. They have
threatened that if their demands are
not met in full to go out on strike No
venber /. They will not only freeze
but starve into submission the people
of the United States, for the railroads
cannot run without coal and the dis
tribution of food must cease.
What are the alternatives put up to
the American people by the miners
If the striker is effective the people
may freeze and starve for all the min
ers care. If their demands are grant
ed. the cost of living will be immedi-
atelv boosted to higher level. For
coal is basic. 1t is the foundation

THE GREATEST POT-LATCH
OF ALL

Great preparations are being made
for a warm reception at Fargo, Octo-
Der Fl, when the hosts arrive for the
great "Shake Down" festival arranged
to give the farmers yet another OPP
portunity to pay Townley's debts, this
special contribution being to the Scan
dinavian American bank fund. The
meeting place is being deliberately
decorated and everywhere signs OF
greeting are noticed, such as Your
Lord Loves a Cheerful Giver," "Sav-
iors With Open Pocket Books Received
With Open Arms" welcome to the
Shake Down Once More" and other
enheartening ebulitions of the spirit.
The invitations say it will be the
biggest Pot-latch that the big Chi
nook chief has yet given, and in return
for their evidences of good faith in the
shape of coin of the realm. bushels of
largess in the form of Socialist dreams
will be given freely to the guests OF
honor. It is even whispered among
the faithful that this will be the last
of the great "outpourings" before the
dawn of the New Day, and that those
who attend the pot-latch properly
equipped to "do or de-" will get great
reward in the next world, if not in
this.
It is to be a great time! The farm
ers are to once more come to the res
cue of the great chieftian, pay off his
debts to the bank and enable him to
start in afresh to "touch" it at the
rate of $50, 900 a month under the able
guidance and assistance of the bank
examiners Office and other state agen-
cies.
No able bodied farmer can afford to
miss the gathering-in.-Beach Adj

MIR. YOUNG JOINS THE CLUB

Congressman Young is the latest
official elected by the Nonpartisan
league to offend the inner gang that
controls league affairs.
Mr.. Young's offense is his opposi-
ton to the Plumb plan to have the
farmers and the rest of US buy the
railroads and turn them over to the
railroad employees to run, while we
pay the deficit and the railroad work.
ers fix their own wages.
Mr.. Young can't see where an ag-
ricultural state can get anything but
higher taxes and higher freight rates
out of a scheme like that, and he is
right, of course. But the Plumb plan
is the political bait which the Townley
gang is holding out to capture the
railroad mems vote, so Mr.. Young has
sinned beyond forgiveness. He will
probably soon take his place in the
TRAITOR club" along with Mr.. LANCER,
Mr.. Hall, Mr.. Kositzky and the rest
of this large and growing family. the
members of which have committed the
objectionable sin of thinking for them
selves.-Forum.

THE PATIENT NEEDS OF A NEW
DIET

During the convalescence of our
"sick" bank as Justice Robinson calls
it, shouldn't the patient have a more
carefully selected diet?
The Windsor-tie boys have been
feeding the patient salt pork and 9TH
er indigestibles in the form of unse-
cured notes, and post dated checks,
and excess loans. Our banker justice
should prescribe diet for the patient,
something light and easily digestible::
After the big shakedown meeting of
Oct. 21-provided enough real cash is
forthcoming from the farmers-the
bank will be reopened. They will get
rid of as much of the Objectionable
paper as possible by shooting it out
to the other league banks" possibly
with the expectation of bringing it
back when the storm blows over. That

eve are finishing the war job, here
and abroad" said Mr.. Held, "and al
though it will be many months before
all our obligations are discharged to
service men, and to the suffering civil
ians of Europe, we are looking ahead
and preparing to meet the peace needs
of America. We will 60 on, not for
the sake of perpetuating great or
ganization, but primarily because
there are many community needs at
home which the Red Cross can fill
better than any other existing body"
With "Better Health as our slogan
we are mobilizing our forces in every
community that needs the Red Cross
and wants it. We have already sup
piled more than forty Public Health
nurses to counties in the four states
of the Northern Division and through
our chapters have offered twenty fifty
scholarships enabling graduate nurs-
es to take up Public Health training,
who would be otherwise unable.
In our Service Institutes here we
have trained almost two hundred vol
unter social workers many of whom
ere now actively engaged in Home
Service work in our territory. Thru
our classes in Home Hygiene and Care
of the Sick and Home Dietics we are
endeavoring to offer valuable knowl-
edge to Mothers and housewives thru
out the Division. Our First aid de-
partment is engaged in an educational
campaign to lessen the number of
deaths from accidnt and our Junior
is training the school chill
dren in ideals of American Democracy.
1--WE shall finish up our war job and
shall continue to be ready to meet the
of disasters as we always
have been, but unless the people of the
Northern Division respond to our ap-
peal for their memberships in Novem-
Der, we shall be unable to go on in our
peace time plans. We are asking for
the support of every man, woman and
child, and we have faith that they will
give it."

CALL FOR $4,000
ENUMERAT0RS

The director of the census. Hon.
Sam L. Rogers, announces that 3d.
600 enumerators will be needed to
take the next census. The work be-
gins on January and will last about
two weeks in cities, and month or
more in rural districts. Rates Of pay
will vary, depending upon the local
ity and character of the district to be
canvassed. The average pay per
enumerator at the census of 1910 was
about $40. At this coming census it
will probably be not less than 500.
"Active, intelligent and reliable men
and women, not less than 10 years of
age, are needed for this task" said
Director Rogers, "and. in sense, this
is call for volunteers. The import
ance of complete and reliable census,
especially in these critical times when
more than ever before perhaps we
need complete data regarding popu-
lation, conditions, tendencies and re-
sources, can hardly be over-empha-
sized. The reorganization of the So
cial and economic structure and the
reimbursement of international rela-
tions necessitated by the war must be
based on accurate knowledge if we are
to act wisely and deal justly with all
classes and all interests. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that public-spirited, ener-
getic people throughout the country
will volunteer to act as census enum-
orators even though, they may not
care for the position so far as the pay
is concerned. l should be sorry to
think, and I do not believe, that all
our patriotism was used up by the
war and none left over for public SER
vice in times of peace"
Fred l.. Walker, Supervisor of the
Census for the Second District of
North Dakota. which includes the
counties of Dickey, Mcintosh. En-
mons, LaMoure, Logan, Barnes, Suits
man, Kidder, Burleigh, Sheridan,
Wells, Foster, Eddy, Griggs, Benson,
Pierce, McHenry, Bottineau and Ro-
lette, states that he will need about
900 enumerators for this ditrict. APP
p1ications or requests for application
forms should be sent to him on or be-
fore October 25th. His address is Ell.
Iendale, North Dakota. As. a test OF
their fitness for the work, applicants
will be required to fill out sample
schedule and will be duly notified OF
the time and place for this test. So
far as practicable the place selected
will be one which is easily accessible.

If Attorney General VIM. LANCER is
the dyed-in-the-wool william that the
Fargo morning prevaricator says he
is, the man should be Immediately TAX
en- out and hanged without trial or
anything else. The idea of allowing a
man Of this stamp to reside in North
Dakota where we are supposed to be
enjoying the dawn of a new day in
paradise second only to the garden of
Eden, is extremely distasteful to the
people. We hope the big meeting at
Fargo next week will do something to
rid the state of such a notorious char
acter-if these things are true. But
Bill LANCER still has thousands Of
friends who do not believe this stuff
and we are one of 'em.

We read with interest that several
hundred auto loads of farmers will
leave Valley City Tuesday to at
tend the bipartisan league rally for
funds to be held in Fargo. The more
that go the better show Mr.. Townley
will have of making a killing in a fl
nancial way. They need the money
and the farmer is the boy who has it
and if A. C. can work them up to that
pitch Of enthusiasm that he usually
does when he makes big business his
text, he will get the long green in
punches. Big business gets them all

RED CROSS NOTES

Although the Third Red Cross Call
will not take place until November
to II, the Honolulu Chapter is not
waiting until that time to re-afirm
its support of the American Red Cross
Immediately after receiving the an
nouncement of the plans for the only
Red Cross Campaign for this year,
the Hawaiian branch cabled a sub
scription of $4,000 toward the $751;
100000 fund that will be raised in
connection with the enrolment of
members fer 1919.

drawn. 1t totals about $4,000 words
divided into fifteen main sections and
represents the combined product of
over thousand experts working con-
tlnually through a series of Commits
sions for the three and half months
since January 10. The traty is print
ed in parallel pages of English and

ing equal validity. 1t does not deal
with questions affecting Austria, Bull

That special session of the legis-
lature is contemplated by the COVER
nor is evidenced by the fact that he
has called special election to be held
October rs for the purpose of elect
ing a successor to the late state Sena-
tor Gibbons. who died some weeks ago.
If a special session were not needed it
would be unnecessary for the COVER
nor to try and get the vacancy filled
at this time. A special session is
needed to take some action looking to
the raising of funds to meet the in
creased financial burdens of the state
and we figure that the governor has
STAYED this session off about as long
as he could. Anyway Lemke has been
saying we would have the special ses-
sion and Lemke is the boy who knows.

If ten thousand dollars worth Of
bonds are missing from that Fargo
bank and the bunch Of "shoot 'em
over" artists think that LANCER or
Halldorson stole them, why don't they
arrest them and make them pay the
penalty. The fact of the matter is
that if any of these bonds are missing
the bunch in charge of affairs since the
bank closed know where they are.
Maybe they have been shot to some
other bank to bolster that up.

stone of industry, and one of the in

coal goes up, rents must go up. In
dustrial products of every sort must
go up. Bread will cost more to bake
furniture will cost more to make,
houses will cost more to heat, freight
trains will cost more to run, and even
farming will be more expensive, be-
cause farm implements and other
necessities will cost more.
The country has had barely enough
coal to get along with as it is. We
had to have coalless Mondays in the
war time. Yet the miners want to
mine less coal and get more money for
it. They see nothing but their own
needs. They care nothing for the pub
lie, save as it may be squeezed to get
them what they want.
Thas is one great evil that flows
from these huge industrial trade
unions. They lose the sense of COM
munity responsibility, the spirit of
civic cooperation. They cultivate to
the extreme the class sense. They
thinkin terms of their own trade.
They forget that they are only parts
of the whole machine, and that it is
their duty to do their share in keeping
things running.
If the coal miners stop working,
they will soon force out of employ
ment vast armies of men. Railroad
trains will have to stop running; fac
tories will have to shut down. Is not
that a barbarous, an intolerable
method of settling industrial dis
putes? The right to strike! Does
possession of that sacred and inalien-
able right entitle men to freeze and
starve their fellow men?
A fair and reasonable settlement of
the coal controversy is certainly pos
sible. Let the Government see that
it is made with all possible speed. And
meanwhile let the miners show that
they are rational human beings by
continuing their appointed work.

If the nonpartisan league hordes go
to work to impeach Hall, LANCER and
Kositzky, and by reason of the fact
that they have the necessary votes in
the legislature to do that, we are 60
to Bismarck after the thing is over if
it is done, and by force of arms put
ting these men back into the offices
for which they have been elected. The
time has come when the people them
selves must make a move to see that
justice shall prevail in this state in
stead of anarchy and socialism-and
that is what is governing this state at
this time, and we are sorry to see
those we have always looked upon as
men of judgment and stability lending
hand to this unrighteous outfit who
are trying to make this state nest
and refuge for Bolsheviks and social
lists. It is barely possible that the
Townley outfit will think twice before
they undertake to carry their purpose
to such an extent as they are now
trying to work up, but if they do they
can look for something to be stirring
in this state soon after they do any,
thing like that. We are not an advo-
cate of lawlessness or anything of that
kind but we are for justice and free
dom of action and we feel right now
that we will have the backing of
thousands of good citizens of the state
in any movement that means square
deal for the men who have been elect
ed by the people. The governor may
be commander in chief Of the state
troops-if we have any-but he can
not control the men in any action they
might undertake to see that people
get square deal-the boys who wear
the khaki are not socialists by long
shot. Some of them, but mighty few,
might be, but the majority Of those
who have worn the uniform of the
United States would not respond to
any call the governor might make to
keep these officials out of their offices.
Stick pin in here and remember
what we say. Now go to Fargo, shake
your loose change into the hands OF
the Phillistines and try putting out
these state officials and then see what
happens.
