Railroad Labor Demands:
The Trainmen's Proposal
Finds Scunty Support

$4,000, 100000; the multitude of
private owners of railway bonds and
stocks and the owners of shares in
investment institutions. This paper
draws the following conclusions:
at is very evident that the radical
wing of the labor party in England has
impaired its ideas to the representa-
tves of the brotherhoods. The pro-
gramme of that party declares that the
individualist system of capitalist pro-
duction. based on the private owner
ship and competitive administration
of land and capital has or will have
received a deathblow.' Also the labor
party stands not merely for the prin-
ciple of the common ownership of the
nations land to be applied as suitable
opportunities occur, but also specifical-
ly for the immediate naturalization of
railways, mines and the production of
electric power.
ut is plainly venture into radical
socialism that the brotherhood chiefs
propose; more than that, it is a very
long step toward the principles of
Lenine' and Trotzky and of Soviet gov
ernment. The plan rs so violently at
war with all human experience and
human reason that the impression
gains strength that the brotherhood
cn1ers. who are men of undoubted lii.
telligcnce, do not for q moment be-
lleve they are going to put it through.
1t IS coming to be rocked upon as
method they have devised for fright
ening Congress into granting their new
demands for wage increase, which it is
estimated would call for an appropria-
tlon by Congress of about $500, 100000
of the taxpayers money"

to the suggestion that the industry
be nationalized-and to the further
suggestion, limited at in labor cir

On the road Michael became ac-
quainted with a gentleman of pleasant
address and confiding manner. Ac-
quaintance blossomed into friendship,
and Michael told his friend Of the
suitcase and its contents. At Belgrade
Michael got off and went to the office
of his employers. His friend also left
the train, went to the baggage room,
demanded the suitcase, represented
himself as its owner. returned to the
train, and has been seen no more.
Michael put in a claim to the rail-
road administration. which will take
80 days to settle. and went to work.
He worked one day. and then a rock
fell from a car by which he was work
ing. and Michael's right foot was
crushed. his ankle sprained, and the
arch of the foot broken down. After
three weeks in the hospital he was dis
charged on crutches and told to go
his way. He was without funds.
He came. to Helena. told his story to
the accident board. and has received
compensation up to and including
June 20, and will be cared for until
his recovery.

Bismarck, N. D., June 14.-aover-
nor Frazier returned yesterday from
a speaking trip in the southeastern

that the familiar line of talk dealing

were principally concerned in the

trimmings. Unfortunately for the

not always prepared to give this in
formation.
The governor has been a very busy
man since the first Of the year. Aside
from the board of administration bill,
he had little to do with the intro

has not had a great deal of time since

Violent Wind Storm
Does Great Damage To
Trees AT Bismarck

Bismarck, N. d. June 14.-In Bis
marck Thursday night a welcome rain
followed one of the sultriest days the
city has experienced in many years.
The downfall was preceded by a
violent wind storm, during which the
air currents sweeping in from the
mountains far to the west gained a
velocity Of Is miles, which speed was
maintained for noe minute. For five
minutes without cessation the wind
blew at the rate of 81 miles an hour.
The highest wind velocity ever recor-
ded al this station for FIVE minutes,
duration was 72 miles, more than ten
years ago.
Trees yer uprooted, huge brancehs
we're torn off Ind went sailing through
the air; street lamps were extin-
guished, Inc in many instances wires
were wrenched from their moorings.
The whole downtown district was
left in darkness for a greater part of
the night. SO far as can b, learned,
the storm was local in it's nature, and
there was no severe property damage,
although many a Bismarck home
builder is mourning the loss of hand
some trees which cannot be replaced
