ON INDUSTR RIES
C0NYENES TODAY
Called BY President Wilson to
Solve Prevailing "Chaotic
COnditiOns'''
WILL REPRESENT PUBLIC

Washington, Dec. Seventeen men
widely known in business and public
life representing no particular group
but acting for the people as Il whole
assembled here today to confer on
the country's industrial situation. The
conference the appointment of which
was announced from the White House
November 20 marked the second effort
of President Wilson to devise means
for settling the chaotic conditions
that have prevailed for months in in
dustr:s 1t was designed to accom-
plish what the recent national indus
trial conference failed on. The OPEN
ing session was set for 2:90 CLOCK.
In the words of President Wilson
the new representatives should have
concern that our industries may be
conducted with such regard for jus.
tice and fair dealing that the work
men will feel themselves induced to
put forth their best efforts that the
employer will not suffer at/the hands
of either class"

George d. Perry of Belfield and F.
w. Turner Of Dickinson are anxious to
have the special session. of the legisla-
lure pass the so-ca1Ied post-date,l
check bill which was introduced last

Concurrent Resolution Proposes
Amendment For Big Build
ing Program
WOULDN'T COME AT ONCE

An amendment to the state consti-
tuition wnicn would, permit the state
ito bond for no more than $50,-
100000 for the building, repairing and
maintenance OF highways was intro
duced in the senate Saturday after
noon by Senator L:ederbach.
The highway commission, which is
back OF this measure, explains that it
is not planned to issue $50,0OO,00O
worth of bonds in one lump, but to
dispose of them as the progress of
highway construction demands and
in such amounts as the revenues
from the licensing of motor vehicles
will serve to retire within a period
Of thirty years.
The plan most commonly discussed
contemplates the issuance of $5,O00,-
900 per nnnum for a period of ten
years. This program would enable
the state to take advantage of the
federal aid volunteered for the con-
struction Of post roads, much OF
which North Dakota will be compel
led to forfeit, if some such provision
is not made. It will result at the end
of ten years, good roads enthusiasts
contend, in network of gravel-sur-
faced highways connecting every
county seat in the state. Such a sys-
TEN will involve from 10000 to 10000
miles of, highway construction.
Originally it was stated that hard
surfaced roads were planned. This
term was used in mistaken sense,
inasmuch as "hard surface" refers to
paved roadway, while in this in
stance the commission is considering
only a six-inch gravel wearing sur
face. Such highways, however. would,
it is. pointed out, be a vast improve
ment over the gumbo roads OF the
present. H.

penses while in session, uuJ is pro-
vided with $4,000 with which 1t may

the day Of her death she ate a hearty
supper. She became suddenly i'll

While her death came as reat
source of regret to her many friends

that it was great surprise to those
who knew Of her feeble condition.
She is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. j. W. Wattenbarger, and Mrs.

STARVING, FREEZING, DYING!


These three words describe the
condition of the Armenians and Syr-
ians. They number four millions,
but unless help is given at once they
will die. Their condition is not their
fault. They have been the victims of
the most absolutely ruthless people
that have ever stained with human
blood the fair pages of history, The
Turks came in to the circle of civili-
cation as a black curse sweeping
down from the tabIe-lands of Asia,
and they have continued to be a
curse. German barbarity pales when
compared with Turkish horror. If
you want true picture Of what the
Near East has suffered and is suffer-
ing at the hand of the Turks, hear
EDr. Selacby in the Cumberland Pres
sbyterian church tonight. He was
there and has seen and can tell his
story, Do not fail to be there! No
