PALMER ORDERS PROSECUTION

egram today from Attorney General
Palmer at Washington, instructing him
to ''exert your full powers in promptly
prosecuting miners, mine owners, dea-
lers OF transportation com pan.es' who
interfere in any way with the move
nent or price of coal.
Simultaneous with the receipt of the
telegram from the attorney general
came the announcement that the neads
of twelve Illinois companies have been
summoned to appear before the state
public util ties commission to show
cause why their companies should not
be restrained from needless consump-
tion of coal for advertising and illu-
minating purposes.
In the meantime, coal operators are
posting notices at all mines thruout
the state inviting the miners to return
to work Monday morning under the IA
per cent wage increase offer made by
DIR. Garfield of the fuel administration.
Governor Lowden is expected to take
drastic action in the coal situation

SEES MP. LEAGUE ROUTED

By Gov. j. A. A. Burnquist of MINI.
st. Paul-Falsehoods and half truths
spread by the Nonpartisan League
through speakers and controlled
newspapers and their intemperatG sp-
peals to prejudice have resulted in the
forming of temporary political lsoup
that must be contended with at this
time. Because of the wide publicity
thus acquired by this organization,
many people have been m.sled as to the
political conditions in the Northwest.
The league claims membership Of
more than fifty thousand in Minneso-
ia and some two hundred thousand in
the country. The initial fee of $16 and
annual dues paid by the members
create n campaign fund far exceeding
the fondest dreams Of political "bos-
ses.'
The membership of the league alone
is not sufficient to carry q primary or
general election in this state. To
win the members need the support Of
outsiders. In the last campaign they
failed to procure enough such support.
The Socialist party Of Minnesota had
been slowly growing until, in 1915, its
candidate received a6,3O6 votes, but
in 1918, when the league had candi-
date, the Socialist party vote dropped
to 1875. Through combination OF
these Socialists and other voters rc-
presenting the elements Of discomfort,
radicalism and disloyalty, the league,
claiming then membership little
less than at present, was supported BY
16O,626 votes out Of about 100000
votes cast in the primary and l1,sle
out of the total Of $4,000 votes east

COLORADO HAS PLAN OF
PERSUASION ON INDUSTRIES

Plans for a state census of raw ma
terials and manufacturing opportu-
mites, as the first step in a move
ment to bring new industries to Colo
rado, are being outlined by the state
immigration board, it was announced
by Edward Foster, state immigration
commissioner last night, following a
conference with Gov. Oliver u. Shoup,
who is ex-officio head Of the board.
The plan calls for survey that
will show just what raw materials
are available in each county, what
manufacturing establishments al
ready are in operation, presens Sut-
put of finished products, extent and
condition Of railway and other trans
portation facilities, labor conditions,
and all factors Of importance to the
prospective entry of new industries.
Statistics thus collected will pro-
vide basis on which to inform in
vestors at any time just what oppor-
tunities the state affords for manu-
featuring enterprises.
An effort was made by the Denver
Manufacturers association during the
regular session of the Twenty second
general assembly to have legislative
provision made tor such a census, but
the move did not meet with favorable
consideration at the hands of the as
sembly. AS result, the state I'M
migration board decided to undertake
the task itself but was unable to get
to it this year because of the neces
sity of devoting its time and office
facilities to the establishment Of a
new agricultural statistics service
authorized by the legislature. With
this system now well organized, the
department will be abe during the
coming year to devote its energies TO
the manufacturing survey. The agri'
cultural statistics law provides the
necessary authority for the undertak-
ing, Com missioner Foster said.
In the absence Of any legislative
appropriation to meet the cost of the
survey, the board has found way to
manage sufficient saving out Of its
regular maintenance appropriation to
take care Of the work. Money ordi-
narily spent in preparing exhibits of
Colorado products for display at fairs
and expositions will be devoted to the
new undertaking, and the exhibits
will have to go by the board during
the coming year.

PROVIDE FOR
10000 REFUGEES

With the successful termination of
the Methodist Episcopal district re-
treats held in the Rocky Mountain
area, including Colorado, Utah, wyo-
ming and New Mexico, the Methodists
are fairly launched on their centenary
membership drive which sets the goal
for 100000 converts for the Method
ist Episcopal denomination b., the
first of June. This number is esti-
mated to be equal to one-fourth of
the present membership of that de-
nomination and sets the quota Of the
Rocky Mountain region at 5000 per-
sons.
The centenary movement has penc-
trated the devastated areas of Eu-
rope, having already established
thirty-two centers and having been
assigned to exclusive rehabilitation
work in the vicinity of Chateau Thi-
cry and Belleau Woods, according
to an announcement by Wayne C.
Williams, secretary of the centenary
movement in Colorado.
1.-THE latest information concern
ing the work in these districts states
that the Methodist church is now
caring for nearly 10000 returning
refugees who are dependent upon The
resources of the church for tempo
rary relief" said Mr.. Williams. "Ex-
elusive of administrative expenses,
the denomination is furnishing ther
with food, clothing and shoes, hav-
ing spent to date more than $500, 900,
as part Of the five-year centenary
fund for European countries which
were left in shattered condition
from the war. For the purpose Of
ameliorating this condition the Meth
odists will spend $12,5OO,OOO in Eu-
rope during the next few years.
1.-THE denomination recently pur-
chased the historic Elephant hotel
in Chateu Thierry, located beside the
famous bridge over the Marne which
the American xroops destroyed to
check the advancing Germans. The
Methodists also are cooperating with
the American Red Cross at Soissons.

f the agriculture and live stock bu-

reau of the Denver Civic and Com
mercial association. This partlcipa
tion will not take the form of an ex-
hibit, Mr.. Foster said, it being felt
that Colorado should not compete on
its own ground against entrants
from the neighboring states. Utah,
Idaho, Wyoming and Nebraska are
going in for prizes in the spud show
and a strong rivalry for first honors
is indicated. Several carloads Of
prize potatoes are expected to be
brought to Denver from outside
states for the show.
