mines so that they may work all OF
/ the time. Again, the demand for coal
is such that in the spring and summer
work Is slack while In the fall and
winter work is brisk. Demand is
slack in the spring and summer be-
cause the public will not buy It's coal
until II needs tin the fall. If the
public would replenish their bins just
as soon as they are empty the miners
could work more regularly than they
do. so the public is somewhat to blame
for the condition OF affairs.
II must be understood that soft coal
is not put in stock. II deteriorates so
fast in stockpile that the safest prac-
tice Is to load II directly from the
mine into the railroad car
The request OF the miners for six
hour day has, we believe. been more
misunderstood than any other demand
that they have made. AS we under
stand II, they are not working an av-
erage OF six hours per day under
present conditions They demand
that the operators shall provide at
least six hours per day for every
work day in the year, which is a re-
quest for an increase in the working
hours, not less hours.
Are she operators making undue
profits? Sec McAdoo says that they
are; he bases his statement upon the
reports OF income made to him in 1917
The operators say that he Is mistak-
en-, that their profit is small. The
treasury department issued state
ment saying that the profits in 1918
we're less than In 1917 and indications
are that they will be less in 1919.
Yet they range from Is to 800 per CO.
on capital.
Garfield says that the operators can
grant an increase OF IA per cent and
not increase the price OF coal 20 the
public. lie further states that the IA
per cent increase will equalize the
wages OF the miners with the advance
In the cost of living
SO, with the cross currents existing
TO cloud the whole question. one is at
loss to know which side is right.
The more Il is studied the more one is
lead to believe that both the opera
tors and miners are entirely efacing
the public I'm their negotiations.

WHO is TO BLAME?

The strike OF the bitumlnous coal
miners which has so seriously in
convenienced the people of this coun-
try Is the subject OF much discussion.
What seems TO be the most frequent
query with the people Is. who Is at
fault?" To date no real. clear answer
has been given to the question.
II one Ia to believe the miners. the
operators are wholly to blame; and II
one Is to believe the operators the
miners are TO blame. Some believe
that the fuel administrator is to blame
and so you may have your choice
II is difficult 20 get the real facts
because SO much that one reads In the
daily press is propaganda in favor OF
either side TO the contest. Facts and
figures have been given by one paper
showing the miners are getting OK
orbitant wages; other papers give just
aa strong facts and figures showing
that the miners are underpaid. FIX
Secretary McAdco says that the oper-
ators have been reaping exorbitant
profits, so again we have a muddle OF
argument from which It IL hard to
draw any real. firmly fixed opinions.
After sitting over the mass OF ar
gument that has been presented one
thing seems fairly clear and that Is
that the miners do not work full time.
when they do work they make big
wages as a rule but In order to get
fair figure on their earnings one must
average their time

ED BOWERS FOR DELEGATE
Now that the convention date has
been set and the candidates are max
ing themselves known, it's about time
that attention should be turned to
the naming OF two delegates from the
18th district OF Michigan.
Iron county has a gentleman whom
1t would like to see honored. His
name Is Ed. Bowers and he lives at
Iron River. He's the right kind OF
an American--an 100 per cent one
and he can be depended upon 20 vote
for that kind OF candidate for pres
ident. That's the kind we all want,
isn't IT.
Well. gentlemen, select MIR. Bowers
for delegate and do your bit towards
getting that kind OF a man TO head
the republican ticket next time. The
Diamond Drill hopes that our friends
In the other parts of the district will
give Iron county this honor by select
ing MIR, Bowers as one OF the dele
gates.

a newspaper man who was former

working with threshing crews whel
possible to pay travelling expenses.
He then farmed at Fertile for TIVE
years and then again returned *
what is now Archer in 1907 as {
rancher. He lost his harvest anf
part of his cattle in a terrible early
snow storm and blizzard, but he was
undaunted and still had faith in
Montana, and borrowed more money
from Minnesota to buy more cattle
When the country was surveyed he
filed on homestead and proved UP
and both he and his wife proved up
on desert claims. He continued
farming and ranching with great
profit until 1912 when he removed to
Plentywood and built the largest
home in the city and he had ever
since made Plentywood his home.
Mr.. Fadness was one of the found
ers of the State Bank of Plentywood,
Redstone, Flaxville and Madoc and
the First National Bank of Scobey.
From time to time he invested in
tracts of land and also town proper
ty, and when he died he was heavily
interested in six banks, besides hav-
ing large interests in several other
corporations. He was the founder of
the Lutheran churches at Plentywood
and Archer and was a contributor to
several other churches.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fadness had no
children of their own, but satisfied
their love for children by adopting
four children in infancy, two girls
and two boys. He started his son
Andrew in as a rancher at Archer.
His daughter, Miss Sophia, recently
graduated from Concordia College at
Morehead, Minnesota, and the two
younger children are still in school
at Plentywood.
Mr.. Fadness always took an active
part in the fight against the liquor
interest and contributed in no small
way to the destruction of that traffic.
He expired last Friday morning,
July II, after an illness of about two
weeks.
The pail bearers at the funeral
were John Foxy, Mr. Sandvig, Mr..
Shippey and Mr.. Dooley, all pioneers
of this section and old friends of Mr..
Fadness, together with Andrew Fad
ness, his son, and Mr.. Andrews, a
nephew.
Andrew Fadness was a quiet, I'M

character. Starting without any
means, undergoing all of the hard

financially and accumulated consid-
cradle fortune. He was a man of
splendid personal habits and lived an

.une, was good for many years more

CROP REPORT
FOR MONTANA
Conditions Over State Very Gloomy /;
Cattle Being Shipped East to Pas
ture-Farmers Leaving in Places.

Helena, July 17.-Montana will
harvest good deal of wheat, hay,
corn, fruit and peas, in spite of the
drouth conditions according to crop
reports from seventeen counties
covering all parts of the state, sent
to Chas. D. Greenfield, commissioner
of agriculture and publicity, for the
week ending July IL. Estimates in a
number of districts of the state place
the yield for winter wheat at from
three to ten bushels to the acre, with
a possibility of higher yield in
spots.
On the many irrigated tracts the
hay is reported to be turning out
well. Corn has suffered very little as
yet and with good rain a fairly
good crop will be harvested. The
western counties report fruit in good
condition and good yield Of alfalfa
and grain on the irrigated tracts.
In the dry land sections where the
drouth has been most severe, the
stock is being shipped out for pas
turage, and the farmers are seeking
work in the Dakotas, Minnesota and
4ScUIdSkd. Inc L arm bureau Ofga-
nizations are marking surveys of the
drouth conditions in the various coun-
ties.
Reports from the counties are as
follows.
Standardization has been COM
paratively cool, with local showers
in part of the county. Late grain
has improved SO that some farmers
are expecting yields of seven to ten
bushels on certain fields. General
crop conditions have improved ff- |
teen per cent. Much millet has been
seeded on ground where the other |
crops have failed. Second cutting of
alfalfa nearly ready but will be much
lighter than the first cutting. Con-
ditions generally better.
Dawson-No late rains have fallen.
A few of the farmers are beginning
to move out and many of them are
seeking work in the Dakotas and Min
nesota. About ten per cent of the
spring grain will be harvested.
Yields will range from three bushels
to ten bushels. Feed conditions still
look very serious.

senting the chambers of commerce
and such other business organiza-
tons as may be vitality affected, and
we recommend that the Farm Bureau
presidents name three of their num-
Der to represent them at such a con-
| ference.
70. Resolved, that in view of the
fact that the question has been raised
whether under the constitution of the
state, the legislative assembly has
the power to make an appropriation
for the purpose of giving financial aid
TO farmers in drouth stricken dis
trict, that the chairman of this meet
ing be directed to secure from the
attorney general of the state and
opinion on that point, said opinion
to be presented at the conference
herein requested to be called by the
governor.
az. Resolved, that the Farm Bu-
reaus endorse the action of the Mon
tana Stockgrowers' association in re-
gard to obtaining reduction of
freight rates on stock and feed; that
the Farm Bureaus cooperate in every
way possible to secure this reduction;
that we endorse the appointment of
the farm bureau president selected at
Billings to work with the Stockgrow-
ers' association in securing this re-
ductlon, and that the Stockgrowers'
association be notified of our desire
to act with it.
SO. Resolved, that the State High
way commission be requested if such
action can be legally taken, to insert
IN all contracts for public road build
ing under its jurisdiction, a clause
to the effect that said contracts shall
give preference in the employment
OF labor to Montana citizens, and es-
pecially farmers; also that this prin-
ciple of employment be applied so
far as possible to all public work by
those who have it in charge.
SO. Resolved, that in view of the
fact that public employment is one
of the best methods of assisting the
needy, the United States Railroad adj
is urged to prosecute
the building of the proposed railroad
from Whitehall, well known as the
500 extension; also that the United
States reclamation service be urged
to prosecute with vigor it's work in
this state.
40. Resolved that every effort
be made to secure and hold an ade-
Quate supply of home grown seed for
the use of the farmers in the coun-
ties where it is grown, to be sold to
them at the actual market price.
