National Coal Situation.

Washington, Nov. 6.-1nformation
in the hands of government officials
in touch with the strike situation to-
day indicated an increase in bitum-
inous coal production, especially in
West Virginia fields. A further de-
fection of union forces was noted in
the early morning reports, although
officials are not able to say whether
the break was increasing to any great
extent
Director Hines reiterated today that
no community would be cut off entire
ly from fuel supplies so long as the
stocks under supervision of the rail
road administration last. He declared
the primary purpose of the machinery
set up by his office was to guard
against concentration of coal stocks
in one section to the detriment of an
other.
Railroad administration officials re-
fused to accept seriously published re-
ports of traffic congestion in some of
the larger terminals. Members of the
director generals staff were in con.
ference last night and again today ex.
amining detailed reports of traffic
movements. These reports showed ne
difficulties in car movement thus far
they said.

the plans for the 1920 threshermen's
school and the program for the school
next July.
This is a meeting all threshermen
should attend and if you are not .
member of the association, become
a member at this meeting. 1t is a
good plan for the threshermen Of the
county to get together and talk over
their problems.
Another year a state federation Of
county organizations of threshermen
will be organized and Valley county
threshermen will be already, as they
are among the first to organize in

over prices, distribution and
the shipment Of all fuel.
To the pleas Of several Nebraska
towns, Iowa and California added re-
quests for relief from the threaten
ed shortage. The mayor of Topeka,
Kansas, telegraphed B. L. Lowe, mid
die west coal director, at Chicago,
that the city was without a ton of
coal in it's market and Hundreds Of
families are in immediate need"
General conditions surrounding the
strike today remained virtually un-
changed. No disorder or vandalism
was reported.
From West Virginia and Colorado
came the only reports of increased pro-
duction since the walkout became eff
fective. Thirty -one union mines were
said to be in operation in West Vir-
ginia and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company reported Ga per cent of it's
normal force at work.
Transfer of another squadron of
cavalry and two companies of infan-
try from Ell Paso, Texas, to Colfax
county, New Mexico, yesterday, was
the only movement of troops in con-
nection with the strike during the
past "a hours.

Situation Unchanged.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The dispute be-
tween the nations bituminous coal
mine operators and union miners
which has resulted in virtual cessa-
tion of production throughout the
country, today remained deadlocked.
Leaders of both producers and min
ers agreed that the blunt refusal of
the department of justice to withdraw
the injunction proceedings against Of
ficers of the United Mine Workers
of America had swept away all hope
of immediate settlement Of the strike.
Further steps had been taken to re-
duce the menace of a threatened coal
shortage. Six passenger trains had
been removed from service on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail-
roads, and Federal Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield had been clothed with full

HUNTERS RETURN HOME;
NO BEARS WERE BAGGED
Local Sportsmen Report Narrowing
Experiences in Rocky Mountain
Wilds.-NO Fatalities

The bunch of Glasgow-Wolf Point
nimrods returned from the wilds Sat-
urday and report various and sundry
hair raising adventures. Of course
most of the stories we hear have the
Wolf Pointers as victims but we may
yet get the other end of it.
DR.. Mowatt, it seems, had never
ridden a horse and when he got on
one the first day he never got off
until pried off that night. The doctor
was evidently pretty sore, as he had
to be dragged around for half an hour
before he could get his legs. The
next morning he could neither walk
nor ride.
They have a real bear story. 1t
seems, Leo Hurry and Tom Markle
found a bear track and followed it
all day; it finally led into a hole and
didn't come out. The hunters sat down
on big rock short distance from
the hole and Markle produced bis
cult. "Leo," he said, 1--WE are about to
die; eat this, it's probably the last
feed you'll ever have on this mum
dane sphere where you act as eater
your next act will probably be to be
eaten. This bear is undoubtedly q

and cold have made him savage, ano
we are doomed to pad the 'innards' OF
this ferocious beast.
"We might" Tom continued, "climt
tree and starve to death but as fol
me, I'll die like man (if the bear car
outrun me)." Leo tried to eat the bis.
cult, but he was thinking of home ane
loved ones; his throat was full ane

At each of the gatherings local
speakers gave to their audiences good,
practical reasons for the perpetuation
of the work of the Red Cross, show

served as school of learning through
which knowledge Of infinite value to

Third Red Cross roll call. He called

wear the Red Cross button will be so
licited and asked to join for 1920.
At the Baptist church two soldie

their experiences during their perio'
Of service. They were Mr.. Deardof

POPLAR HALF-BREED
SHOOTS NElGHB0R
Art Williams Is Dead as Result-Slay.
er Said to Have Been Under
Influence of Drink.

Art Williams, reservation home
steader, died last Friday morning at
Poplar as the result of a shooting
scrape which occurred there on Thurs
day evening. The Wolf Point Promot-
er gives the following account of the
affair:
The shooting was done by Joe Bur-
shia, a half breed Indian. We were
unable to get complete information
regarding the affair. It appears, how
ever, that Burshia had been drinking.
He spent some time at the Williams
home yesterday afternoon and as the
men had always been on friendly terms
motive for the deed has not been
advanced. Before leaving, Burshia is
alleged to have threatened to return
and "get" Williams, but the latter
paid no attention to the threat, look
ing at it more as a joke. Burshia
made good his threat, however, and
came back with a rifle. Taking up a
position outside he awaited his chance
when Williams appeared before win
dow. Only one shot was fired, which
struck Williams in the head His death
occurred today.
Burshia has been apprehended and
was taken to the Jail today and will
have to stand trial on charge of mur.
der in the first degree.
The dead man recently moved into
Poplar from a homestead on the res.
ervation near that place and had plan
ned on residing there for the winter
We understand he is survived only
by his wife.

Would Dissolve Strike Order.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. GA mo-
ton to dissolve the order restraining
officials of the United Mine Workers
of America from encouraging or di-
recting the strike of the 425,O00 men,
bers of the union was filed in the
United States district court here to-
day by attorneys for the miners. The
restraining order was issued last Fri
day and the hearing on temporary
injunction, petitioned by the govern
ment, will be next Saturday.
The motion first sets out that the
petition for the restraining order does
not disclose that the government, the
plaintiff in the case, has any interest
in the subject matter, nor in the re-
lief sought, nor in any injunction re-
lief. 1t is set forth that the plaintiff
is without "equity and without clean
hands," 1t is alleged that the govern
ment knew all along of the efforts at
collective bargaining and it is set forth
that Secretary of Labor Wilson, rep.
resenting the government, called rep
resentatives of the miners and oper-
ators to Washington in an effort tc
reopen negotiations for a new wage
agreement.
1t is further contended in the mo.
ton that the fuel administration was
dissolved by proclamation of the pres
ident and that the fuel administra-
ton cannot be restored legally by
the president. This is designed to meet
the contention of the government that
there was conspiracy under the LIE.
