BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS

The American soldiers want books. They have al
ways wanted books and have received many hundreds
of thousands of them. At no time has there been a sur
plus. Just now there lisa decided shortage. A year ago
our soldiers were very busy with other matters than
reading for amusement, although they had time to de-
vote to that. Since the active period Of the war ended
they have had more leisure, and their attention has not
been fixed on the physical activities Of war. Time is apt
to hang heavy on their hands, hence they wish to read
more. While for thisrreason a demand .o1t reading mat
ter has increased, the supply has iallen off. The thought
Of the general public has rather been switched away
from the soldier, and his doings, and less interest has been
displayed in making provision for the soldiers leisure
The two causes working together have led to a great
sociation to supply.
Those who are in charge of the work, and who have
had opportunity to become acquainted with the soldiers
likes and dislikes. say that the chief need just now is for
mo1e good. modern fiction. OF any other classes OF
books there is a sufaciency, but the great need is TO,
books which can be read for the purpose of entertain
ment, and which the readers will not class as "slush.'
War books are not popular, for the soldiers like to ge,
away from the thought Of war and while there has al
ways been a demand in the army for solid reading, the
great need and the pressing one, is for books Of entertain.
ment. Agencies are at work all over the country col.
lectins material to supply this need, and every offering
made for this purpose will be an actual service to the
soldier and to the country,

SMOKED OUT

The people who have been trying to keep under cover
the unsavory facts in connection with the Valley City
Bank deal have been smoked out, and their organ, the
Fargo Courier News. at last published what the whole
outfit hasistriven to conceal.
The substance of the story published in the Courier
News is that that precious pair Of patriots, j. j. Hastings,
bank organizer for Mr.. Townley. and Thomas Allen Box.
sometime secretary of the State Council of Defense, in the
handling of the Valley City Bank deal had pinched off
$4,000 more than was considered to be gool form under
the circumstances: that they were compelled to disgorse;
and that when Hastings was brought on the carpet he
was accused of lying by both Townley and ]. r. Waters,
state bank examiner.
The meeting at which the conversation reported in
the Courier News is said to have taken place seems to
have been quite a little family party. Hastings, it will be
remembered, was the trusted fiscal agent Of Townley,
charged with the work of organizing banks among the
friends Of Townley,. and made d director and officer OF
certain .of those banks. To Townley and Waters he was
Jack" just like that. And to him the state bank exam
had some figures on a scrap Of paper and with those
figures he undertook to prove to Jim and Townley that he
and his pal Box were entitled to that fifteen thousand.
Jim told Jack that he-Jack-was lying. Townley-who
does not appear to have appeared byhis first name. sec
onded the remark. And the upshot Of it all was that Jack
and his friend Box put the money back.
All Of this conversation is reported by Mr.. Waters in
a formal statement in the Courier News. The, situation
seems to be that little brother Jack had been caught steal
ing jam, and that big Brother Jim and Dad Townley
wouldn't listen to his denials while his face was all
smeared up. 1t was a minor pecadilo, calling for nothing
more than a little affectionate renonstrance and, nobody
would ever have heard anything about it had it not been
for the officiousness Of certain annoying persons who In
sisted in making it public. It was Brother Jim who de-
clared he would rather go to Jail than dfvulge the facts,
because he was determined to protect Townley. What a
pleasant thing family affection Isl!

HORSES DON'T LIKE MEXICO.

Fort Bliss, Tex, April 23.-Amert-
can cavalry horses, seemingly prefer
the daily diet CT corn and alfalfa hay
to the prospects of scanty feed in the
campaigns which the Mexican federal
army is preparing to make in the
deserts Of northern Mexico. They
showed this plainly when $50 of the
1000 cavalry horses which were sold
from the remount station here to the
Mexican government returned from
Juarez after they had been driven
across the Rio Grande at the Weber
ford. 81
Before the horses could be corraled
in the stookyards at Juarez $50 OF
them recrossed the river and returned
to the remount station. They were
loaded into stock cars and sent back
to Juarez by rail for shipment to
Chihuahua City. These horses were
sought and trained at the remount
station here for the use of the Amer
lean cavalry overseas but were not
needed. They will be used to mount
the Mexican infantry for the new
campaign against Villa which is
scheduled to start May first.

TRA|NMEN VOTE SECRETLY TO 60
 OUT ON STRIKE
12,000 in Chicago Decide to Walk0ut Thursday Unless
 Demands Are Met.
BALLOT BEING TAKEN
 THROUGHOUT NATION
1900 Are Affected if Other Lodges Take Similar ActiOn-ChicagO District Vote Was Taken
 Sunday.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Fourteen lodges of the brotherhood of railroad train men, representing 12,OOO men in the Chicago switching district, voted at a secret meeting Sunday to strike Thursday unless their wage demands are met in full. A vote on the propo- sition is in progress in the other lodges of the 180,000 trainmen throughout the country.
 A committee of the brotherhood's s grand lodge, headed by President w. G. Lee, will confer with Director Gen. eral Hines in Washington Wednesday.
 Included in the trainmen's brother hood, which is one of the "big four" are passenger and freight brakemen and suburban service and yardmen.
 The history of the demands, which were formulated at the triennial con- vention in Columbus, O., in May, was included in the strike message sent to President Lee. The demands were filed with the board of railroad wages and working conditions on July 3.
 Proposed wage rates were discuss ed with the board from July 21 to July 31. The rail men held out for not less than $150 month.
 At the meeting on Sunday im- patience with MT. Hines and the wage board was expressed. The railroad shopmen's wait of 10 months without rest was cited. The strike declara- tion, after asserting that the present action is taken with "no tinge of un- Americanism, no tinge of Bolshevism, no tinge of red, but the highly aggra- vated feeling of our members must not and cannot be ignored" states:
 "We have staunchly supported the cause of our government in it's fight for democracy by contributing thou sands of men to it's fighting forces and unlimited dollars to it's many funds; we are determined more than ever to respect Old Glory, her cause and her armed forces, but we also are set in our determination that we shall not be deprived of any rights or wages that Old Glory and her armed forces, together with all other Amer ican institutions, should guarantee all American workers.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Whether the meetings here this week of two in- ternational labor conference, in addi. tion to the international gathering provided under the league of na. tions, will tend to allay the indus trial unrest manifest in the United States, was subject of speculation here tonight, on the eve of the con- vening of the various delegates representing the leading countries of the world.

OPERATORS SAY NO ATTEMPT TO RUN IS PLANNED Brewster Disputes Statement That Pay of Men Totals
 $75 Monthly. CLAIMS $8 TO SIP
 PER DIEM IS AVERAGE Declares Owners Are Willing To Do Anything within Reason to
 Avert Walkout--Present
 Scale Compensatory.
St. Louis, Oct. 27.-Thomas

St. Louis, Oct. 27.-Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the mine op- erators' scale committee, in state ment tonight declared the operators would do anything "within reason" to avert the threatened strike of coal miners Saturday, and declared the statement of John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Work CTS of America, that the miners av- eraged only $75 month during the last year, was misleading.
 No attempt will be made to oper- ate the mines if the strike material izes, he said.
 MT. Brewster asserted the average scale paid in the central competitive field was from $8 to SIP a day and that the minimum for day laborers was $5 day. The demand for coal during the coming six months would give the miners greater earn ing latitude than they ever have had, he said.
 Mir. Brewster's statement follows:
 "Mr. Lewis statement as to the earning powers of the miners and the present wage scale are misleading and made with intent to mislead the public. The present scale is the highest ever received by the miners union and the demand for coal dur ing the ensuing six months will give the men the highest earning power they have ever had.
 Present Pay Enough.
 "The operators believe that the present wage scale is fully compensa- tory, affording the miners of the central competitive coal field from $8 to SIP day, coupled with which we have for day labor paid a mini mum scale of $5 day.
 'The operators have at all times been willing to negotiate new scale on it's merits, provided the miners would disentangle the subject from ridiculous and impossible de- mands. The operators offered to resume negotiations as to the new wage scale and to refer all points on which we could not agree to ar bitration, and upon receiving the presidents request we agreed to sub init all questions to negotiation and arbitration, provided the strike order would be withdrawn. The miners have refused to withdraw the strike order and the presidents second or der was issued.
 "The operators from the begin ming of the controversy have offered to do anything within reason to avert the strike and we still offer to. The threatened strike is not the wish of the miners. but of certain of their ambitious leaders,"
 Asked if the owners would attempt to operate the mines in event the strike materialized, MT. Brewster said:
 ''If the men walk out the mines will have to shut down. The dr, ators will not attempt to work the mines if the threatened strike goes through"

Nugents Weekly, a national maga- zine, devoted to the manufacture of women's garments, followed the ex- ample of the Literary Digest today with the announcement that publi- cation would be maintained by the same process every week until the strike was ended.

SAYS MINERS DO NOT DESIRE 10
 60 ON STRIKE: ]:
WalkOut Last Resort, Declares Editor of Union Publi-
 cation.

Indianapolis, Oct. 27.-While prep arations for the strike of the 500,000 soft coal miners of the United States, ordered for next Saturday are being continued it was said at the interna- tional headouarters of the United Mine Workers of America here today that the miners are ready and willing to tween now and November 1, that will avert the strike.
 "We don't know what the week will brine forth" said Ellis Searles, editor of the Mine Workers Journal, the official publication of the organiza- tion. "We do know this. that the miners are ready and willing-and have been-to negotiate a new wage agreement between now and Novem- Der 1. And we do know that the op- orators have refused. They have re- jected proposal after proposal.
 "Now, if the government would use the same amount of pressure on the operators that it is using on the United Mine Workers of America, there would be no trouble in bring ing about a settlement. All pres- sure. so far has been on the miners.
 "The organized miners do not want to strike-it is last resort. It is. and always has been, the policy of the mine workers to use all honorable means to avoid strike. We hope the operators yet may be induced to make the miners and the operators reach an agreement, which will make the strike called for next Saturday unnecessary.
 eve want the public to know that the miners have done everything in their power to bring about confer ence so that new wage agreement could be negotiated and the strike avoided. Up to this time our efforts have been unsuccessful. The opera tors seem determined to force a strike on the public in order to main- tain the high price of coal at the mines"
 Should the strike go into effect next Saturday. MT. Searles said. every or ganized bituminous coal miner in the United States would cease the pro- duction of coal and large number of non-organized miners would join the strike. He estimated that be- tween 5O0,OOO and 100000 men would walk out and added that the govern ment estimated that the shutdown would cut off 80 per cent of the bi- luminous coal production in the United States.
 The strike, according to Searles would affect the partially organized fields of Central Pennsvlvania; parts of West Virginia, excluding the Poca- hontas field which is not organized; portions of Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, Alabama and Colorado and all of 100 per cent oreanized fields which include Ohio, Illinois, Indiana Michigan, Western Kentucky. Miss ouri, Kansas, xsOklahoma, Montans and Washington. Bituminous minezl 1 in Canada will not be affected.
