INVESTIGATION ;.
OF INSURGENTS
HOLDS INTEREST
Much Discussion as to Form
That Frazier's Quiz
Will Take

Governor Frazier threw down the
gauntlet to Attorney General LANCER,
Secretary Of State Hall and Auditor
Kositzky. insurgent league state Off
cials and their. friends, when in his
message to the special Session of legis-
lature Tuesday he linked them with
"obstructionists" whom the governor
accused of endeayoring to block the
leagues Industrial program, and called
upon the legislature to name an inves-
tigat ting committee to "investigate the
illegal and improper expenditures Of
state funds. and to investigate Illegal
acts Of public officials" .... H..
The governor did not name the i'll
surgent trio, but it was unnecessary
as every one who heard his message
knew to whom he referred. The three
insurgents were until less than year
ago among the strongest and loyalest
followers Of Townley. All of them
broke with the national Nonpartisan
leader over radical legislation Of tn"
last assembly. None of these officials
has yet been forced to yield member
ship In the league. Each insists that
he is fighting within the league to save
the league from the autocracy anh

fed in Townley and his one-man con.

FRAZIER'S ACTS
IN COAL STRIKE

\. Fargo. n. D., Nov. 2G.-Judge G. r.
Amidon. in the United States district
court here today denied application OF
the Dakota Coal Co. for !; permanent
injunction restraining ,the state OF
North Dakota from operating the COM
pany's Ignite mine at Trasker
Attorneys for the company announ-
ced they would appeal to the United
States circuit court and asked for a
temporary restraining order until the
appeal is heard. Judge ,Amidon de,
MED the order.
9 Holding that the cessation of coal
mining operations in the state would
have resulted in great public SUFFERING
and possibly death by freezing, Judge
Amidon declared Governor Frazier
was within his constitutional rights
in seizing and operating the mines un-
der proclamation of marital Jaw.
There are three great rights in
every strike, Judge Amidon said, the
right of the employer, the employe an |

istrator Garfield.
Final decision was reached by ,Eo
cabinet at the meeting today DR.. Gar
tiel ID and Secretary Wilson said. The
fuel administrator called a joint ses-
sion of the operators and miners for >

While neither DR. Garfield nor mem
bers. Of the cabinet would say what the
cabinets decision was it was reported
that the fuel administration had won
its point for an increase Of from 70 t.
Is percent in miners wages as against
the 81 percent proposed by Secretary
Wilson and agreed to by the miners.
Dr.. Garfeld's statement to tho
miners and operators was expected to
be somewhat iii the nature Of an ult'
matum. The, 20 to 25 percent Increase
was understood to be acceptable to the
operators but grave doubt was ex-
pressed as to whether the miners
would approve it.

MINERS DARE DEATH

Miners dared death by enter
ing the mine through q man
way, and, protected by an up
draft from the huge fans which
are used for ventilating pur-
poses, they worked desperately
to close the mouth of the shaft,
some distance below the blazing
mass above them, thus prevent
ing the huge beds Of Ignite and
the forest Of timber below from
catching fire. They succeeded in
completely closing the shaft
with solid buttresses, and the
big mine was saved from a fire
which, had it gained a start,
might have burned for years,
consuming hundreds of thou
sands Of tons of coal.
BY II o'clock last night the
lipple, the largest and most mod
crn in North Dakota, was a mass
of embers and twisted machin-
cry. Even before that hour the
company had wired Chicago in
the hope that a complete tipple
might be procured there, ready
to- be shipped to Wilton and as
sembled Immediately. Labor
conditions have been so uncer
tain that the Washburn Ignite
Go. could not be confident of OBJ
tanning prompt service, If the
Chicago equipment houses cam
not fill the order Immediately, q
temporary tipple will be rugged
up with material at hand, but
production will be cut to prob
ably not more than 300 tons.
Largest in State
The Washburn Lignite Coal Co.'s
mines arc the largest and best equip
ped in the state, their value being
placed at $1,550,000. Only last Sat
urday these properties were retored
to their owners after having been in
the possession of the state for a.
week, This action was taken by Cen
eral Fraser two hours after the su-
preme court had handed down al ord
er denying Governor Frazier writ
Of prohibition restraining Judge Nues-
sic Of the district court from carry
ing out his order for the restoration
fof the mines at o'clock Monday af-
ternoon General Fraseers action fol-
lowed q meeting Of the Wilton mine
local Friday evening. when by vote
Of about $50 to 20 the men decided to
return to work for the company, to
end the strike called by District Pre-
sident brennan Of the United Mine
Workers, which the governor had
made pretext for the seizure of the
Wilton mines. and to live up to their
contract with the company
Among the seventy or more men
who voted against returning to work
are said to be q number Of radicals
and direct actionists who looked upon
Frazier's contiscation Of the mines as
q step toward the decentralization OF
all property. and. who believe that II
they held out Frazier would take the
mines from their private owners
ana give them to the miners. These
reds are said to have been constantly
agitating against making peace with
the company, but they had little ef-
feet on the conservative majority.
The tipple itself cost 100000 and
was insured for $25,00o. It was built
three years ago and could not be re-
placed today for $so00n. In addition
there is probably $4,000 damage to
the mouth Of the mine.
