MR.. BLANTON HA[TS
NOLAN WAGE BILL
Blocks Measure Providing
Minimum Wage Of SO a Day
for D. C. and u. S. Workers.
IS CERTAIN OF PASSAGE

The Nolan minimum wage bill. which
says that federal and District gov
eminent employees must get at least -
a day or am cents an hour, would have
been passed by the House yesterday
but for Representative Blanton OF
Texas. He demanded an engrossed
bill at the last minute. after Repre-
sentative Nolan had been working to
get the measure through before the
House adjourned. This throws the
vote over until some time next week,
probably Wednesday.
The bill is certain of passage by an
overwhelming majority. The cam
paign conducted by the National Fed
GRAFTON Of Federal Employees in seeing
each member Of the House personally
was successful in defeating in the
House by vote of 273 to 81 the
amendment of Chairman Good of the
appropriations committee, which had
been accepted in the committee OF
the whole. providing that the S24o
bonus should be figured in compute
ton Of the minimum wage. This
amendment would have shut out from
the benefits of the bill any employe
now receiving $40 a month.

STREET TRUST
VICTOR IN TONN-
AGE TAX FIGHT
Minnesota House Turns Down POpu-
lar Legislation By Close Vote.

st. Paul, April 14.-Defeat of the
mage tax on iron ore constitutes the
most striking event in the Minneso-
ia legislature to date. The final vote
in the house on the bill prepared by
Representative Welch of Mcleod
county, Nonpartisan league man.
was 81 for to 81 against, a vote OF
66 being necessary to pass.
The bill means loss to the state
of about 100000 year for the
next two years, and the saving of
as much to the great steel trust,
which has monopolized the famous
iron mines of Minnesota.
The levying of tonnage tax has
long been great issue in Minneso-
ia. There has been fight for it
in every legislature since 1907, with
the exception of 1915, and on several
occasions the people of the state have
had victory practically within their
grasp. Onder present tax methods
the farmers of the state alone pay
about two and one-half times as
much taxes as the iron ore interests
and yet the net profits from Mime
sofa ore amount to several times the
profits Of all the farmers of the state
together.
AT the beginning of the session SO
Of the 131 members Of the house
were pledged to the tonnage tax
and "A of the 81 senators. The vic
tory Of the trust was made possible
by the switching of "a house men,
bers, who have thus betrayed their
constituents. The list Of turncoats
includes both representatives Of rural
districts and some supposed labor
men from the cities. All of the Non
partisan league men, however, stoo
valiantly by their prediction
pledges.
The tonnage tax issue has long
been the acid test between reaction
aries and progressives in Minnesota
and the failure of old party politi-
clans to keep their pledges in this re-
gard will add great strength to the
Nonpartisan league campaign in
1920.
The major interest in the present
legislative session, in fact, has been
the feverish efforts of the old guard
to keep the Nonpartisan league from
getting any credit for legislation to
head off the League in 1920. But the
failure of the legislature to give the
people what they want is adding to
the prestige of the farmer organi-
Zaton.
The League was bonn in North Da-
kota after the 1915 legislature there
had broken it's pledges and grossly
insulted the farmers. The attitude
of the present Minnesota Legislature
will probably produce a correspond
ing effect. The patience of the
people with crooked politics is at ar
end.

SCOBEY CITIZENS BOOSTING
FOR WATER WORKS AND
ALSO FOR SEWAGE

Scobey Citizen: Now that a new
city council has been elected and the
old deadlock that has existed in that
body for several months past
has been disposed of, let us get down
to business and put in the water
and sewer works. A few weeks
ago a petition was presented to the
city council signed by practically ev-
cry taxpayer in town asking the
council to proceed to install these
civic improvements this year. No
action was taken by the council on
that petition, for the reason, we pre-
sumo, that they thought it was bet
ter to await the change in the cOun-
Gil at the regular spring election.
Scobey, town that has the name
of being the best town in northeast
e1n Montana, and whose fame has
gone far and wide as the coming
town of this section of the west, has
dilly dallied for three years on the
proposition of public improvements.
1t now is a question that can wait no
longer. 1t is a question whether
you are for or against this town. If
you are LOT III there CdiA NC I1O al u
ment about this question. If you are
against it the less you say the bet
ter. Scobey must and will go for
ward. To say that it won't, or to
say that it is too soon for a step of
this kind is to show your lack Of
faith in this town and community.
This is time for men of courage
and Stacker had best hold their
peace.
AS for the council themselves, we
have only this to say: Scobey ex-
poets you to live up to the letter of
your oath of Office. Scobey wants
to advance and it demands good
government. In the matter of
spending the taxpayers money for
the advancement of this town you
should thoroughly understand that
Scobey will not stand for graft and
incompetence. Go straight ahead
with Scobey and Scobey will go
straight ahead with you, but go
straight.

MONT. ELEVATORS
Unite With CO.
UITY SYSTEM
Grain Growers to Join st. Paul Term
inaI, Bringing in 20 Houses and 80
More to Be Added.

Far reaching developments that
will double the amount of grain
handled through the Equity Coop
erative Exchange this year, were be-
gun last week at a conference be-
tween President A. j. Walrath of
the Montana Grain Growers and Of
ficials of the Equity COOPERATIVE
Exchange at St. Paul. The Mon
tana organization comprising large
ly members of the Montana Union,
American Society of Equity now
has line of 20 elevators in the
best developed grain sections of
Montana, and the new arrangement
lnsures their entire business to the
Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange in St.
Paul.
In addition to the 20 houses now
organized, a campaign to line up 80
additional houses, a number OF which
are already asking for amalgamsrlon
with the farmers st. Paul grain
terminal, will be begun at once, and
it is believed that not less than 80
Montana houses, and possibly rs,
will this year consign grain to the
Equity Cooperative Exchange.
This Montana development taken
together with the fact that the Elk
change is organizing new lines Of
elevators in North Dakota, Minneso-
ia is believed, according to what are
considered conservative estimates, TO
mean that the Exchange will have
at least It's additional line elevators
of its own for the crop year Of 1919,
beside many independent houses.
President J. M. Anderson Of the
Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange eX-
poets to spend considerable time in
Montana during the coming season
helping the farmers organize eleva-
tor, and arranging for the handling
of a large portion of the Montana
wool crop, facilities for Wn,cn are
now being completed by the FIX
change in the warehouse section
known as the minnesota Transfer"
at St. Paul.
With the handling of 30,000,OC0
bushels of grain in sight for the
coming season, double the amount
handled last year, and the addition
of some 5000 or 5000 members due
to elevator amalgamation in four
states, the year 1919 promises to be
the banner year in the history of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange.
Elevator facilities at the disposal
of the Exchange insure efficient
handling of the additional volume of
grain, and the good results being OBJ
tanned from cleaning it is believed
will attract large number of farm
ers' independent elevators that have
followed the policy of remaining
"free lances" and occasionally ship
ping to the Minneapolis market.

FOREIGNERS IN MIXUP
AT CULBERTSON

Poplar Standard: As the result of
threats made to blow up a building
at Cilbertson in which dozen
Italians were sleeping, Sheriff Pat
Macy, and deputy sheriff Lou Schow
nabbed six Russians who had form
erly worked on the section at Gull
bertSOn. The arrest of the Russians
is the answer to some quick work
on the part Of Macy and his staff.
Getting a tip late Monday. night that
the treat had been made to blow up
the building, Macy threw out drag
net and by yesterday afternoon he
had six men under arrest. Ed Wag-
ner, one Of the men, is said to have
made a complete confession to Ma
cey and County Attorney Walton in
which he duplicates his five other
pals.
The men who are now under ar
rest had been discharged from the
section and in their places Italians
had been installed. The Italians
lived in a section house at Culber-
son formerly occupied by the Rus
slams. Sunday morning when the
Italians awoiZe they found note
stuck under the door in which it was
stated that unless the Italians quit
their jobs and got out of the country,
the Russians would blow up their
bunk house at night time. Macy,
Attorney Walton, and Special Agent
Bailey Of the Great Northern gave
Wagner the third degree and he adj
mitted his guilt. Then Macy and
his officers went to work and picked
up the gang. Several of the men
denied being guilty.
