JEITT. BELZER WRITES

To Ian AND STRIPES
To the Editor, The Stars and Stripes:
In your November issue you have
an article on the Powder river war
cry.
That has been the Montana national
guard war cry for several years back,
and the old End Montana Infantry had
it in the days of Douglas, Arizona, in
1916. Powder river is a small stream
that comes from the south up through
Montana and empties into the yell
lowstone about Is miles east of Miles
City.
The Powder River valley is a ia
nous ranching country, and the Pow
der River c%owpunchers originated the
war cry, which is: "Powder River, a
mile wide and ar inch deep. Let 'er
buck!"
The End Montana Infantry is now
the 163rd Infantry, a part of the 41st
division, now the LIST Depot division,
and as our organization was used to
replace the First American Army over
here last January, we we're unable to
carry out u war cry over the top as
we had planned.

DEATH SEEN IN ITS LAWS
Music and Flowers Are Ready Says
North Dakota Senate Leader
When Session Adjourns.

By their recent legislation Nonpar-
tisan disciples in the North Dakota
legislature have bought flowers, pro-
vided for music and will attend their
own funeral, said A. S. Gibbons, floor
leader of the North Dakota senate,
Wednesday.
This possibility was foreseen even
by A. G. Townley when, during the
last three weeks of the session, his dis
ciples took the bit in their teeth and
forced a modification of the proposed
radical program. Senator Gibbons
said.
"At the last general election there
was approximately $4,000 majority for
the N%onpartisan machine" Senator
Gibbons said.
"Since then discomfort among the
farmers who advocated a reform leg
is%lature, but not to the extent carried
through under the direction of Town
ley, has become notably apparent.
"From a state debt of S47O,O00, the
last legislature has created a bonded
Indebtedness for the state of approx.
imately $17,000,000
"Many of the measures passed by
that party are exceedingly dangerous
if not properly enforced. Under the
industrial commission act a man may
become dispossessed of his home al
the whim of the governor of the state
and his ex-officio co-workers on the
commission.
Preference to two measures intro
duced by the independents-the sab.
otage and red flag bills-which 9th
err states are passing, and which were
killed by the North Dakota body il
committee, is sufficient to outsider!
to understand just what the people o:
North Dakota are facing in the rad
ical legislation
Senator Gibbons, who is in St. Paul
with G. N. Kebiston, executive secre
tary of the Bismarck Commercial club
will speak tomorrow at the open for
UNI luncheon at the St. Paul Associa'

1t may be a source of surprise to

although the American outrankcd
Great Britain, Germany, France, Aus
tria-Hungary, Japan and Italy in that
order, says The Washington Post"
When the pay of American private
soldiers was fixed at $50 a month, it
was generally supposed they would
outclass all others. But it is found
that Australia paid $435O month, New
Zealand $3.50 and Canada $33 The
lowest paid soldiers were the Italians
who received but So cents a month.
Among the non-commis officers
the United States ranked third in the

New Pier Strike Threat
Started by Insurgents
Refuse to Recognize Wage
Award and Ask Impeachment
of 7. Y. O'Cnnner

The possibility of another longshore-
mems strike developed yesterday at a
meeting of the insurgent faction of
the pier workers, headed by Richard
Butler, at Twenty-fourth Street and
Thirteenth Avenue.
This element, asserting it represents
twentythree locals, with $4,000 men,
bers, announced that it did no recotg-
nize the latest proceedings or award
of the National Adjustment Commits S
sion which gave the longshoremen an
additional increase of 10 cents an hour
Messages to this effect were sent to
Secretary of Labor Wilson and MAJ or
Hylan.
William Smith, the insurgent secre-
tary, pointed out that his organization
does not acknowledge the leadership of
7. Y. O'Conner and Joseph r an, presi-
dent and vice-presdent of the Inter
national Association Of Longshoremen
who represented the dockmen at the
conference, and that they would not
be party to any agreement in which
O'Conner participated They offered to
negotiate with the steamship men and
government officials directly
Resolutions were adopted requesting
the executive council of the interna-
tional to start impeachment proceed
ings against O'Conner. The resolu-
tions, according to Smith, will be for
warred to council headquarters at Buff
falo. The question of the adequacy OF
the award he said, will be taken up in
few days.

Japanese Labor Aided
By Modern Robin Hoods
Group of ''Chivalrous Spirits
Appear at Toxic to Urge
Unrest Be AIlayed

TOXIC, Oct Is (By The Associated
Press.-An almost forgotten capter in
the history of old Japan was revived
by the arrival at Toxic, the other
day, of seventeen so-called Japanese
Robin Hoods, or "men Of chivalrous
spirit" who came to seek governmental
aid for their followers.
In the Tokugawa days, these men,
known in Japan as "Kyokaku," came
into existence to oppose the tyranny
Of the Samurai class and to defend
the interests of the common people.
Their motto was to crush the strong
and help the weak. Many of these
people still exist in the country dis
tricts where they are now regarded
as political bosses OR band leaders.
They have many followers who have
come to be looked down upon by the
masses of the people. Many Of these
followers desire to earn an honest
living but find difficulty in secur-
ing employment. The situation was
brought to the attention of members
Of the Diet who are now intercedlng
in behalf of the modern Robin Hoods.
At the same time the "Kyckaku''
have come to Toxic to warn the gov
ernment that labor unrest is increas-
ing throughout Japan and to voice
their fear that it will assume graver
aspect if it continues to spread among
the poorer people.
