NORTH DAKOTA TO
OPERATE MINES

Bismarck = Declaring mar
tial law in the several soft-coal
mining sections of North Da-
kota, Governor Lynn J. Frazier,
shortly after midnight, an
nounced that the state would
take over and operate" at once
the mines of the state.
In a proclamation issued at
1:45 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, the governor ordered Ad-
iutant General Fraser to as
sumo charge of the mining IN
dustry of the state, see TO 1T
that the mines were reopened
at once, that the people of the
state were supplied with coal
supplies as soon as possible and
that all persons interfering IN
the production of the mines
were arrested and kept under
guard until the operators and
miners had reached an agree
ment.
General Fraser was instruct.
ed to call all male persons OF
the state between the ages OF
1S and As that he deemed ne
cessary to control the situation
and carry out the provisions OF
tho nroclamatiOn.
Word reached the capital late
last night that the miners would
not return to their posts IN the
coal l mines even though the
strike had been officially called
off. but that they would return
tn work under the orders OF
Governor Frazier.
Tn his order giving the state
control of the mines the gov
ernor reiterated the necessity
of supplying the people OF
North Dakota with coal during
the present industrial CRISIS.
The governor declared that
until the operators and miners
come to an agreement and de,
nnonstrate their willingness and
ability to operate the mines II
such a manner as to protect
tbe interests of the people, his
order would remain in force
Although Governor Frazier
declared marital law it IS not

HOLDING COUNTY
UNIT MEETINGS

County Superintendent Will
son and Mr.. Charles Reinoehl,
state rural school inspector OF
Eastern Montana, have been
holding county unit meetings
throughout the Medicine Lake
district the past week, These
meetings were to be held thru
the county but owing to the
weather they have been post
pOned. These meetings are an
effort to make it possible for all
children to have the advantage
Of schools throughout the school
year regardless Of the distance
they are from school.

action either to operate the
mines or guard them, unless
serious disorder threatens at
some point. The purpose of de-
clar1ng martial law, it is said,
was to enable the state govern
ment to act with greatest free
dom should any differences
arise.
Coal miners said they would
return to work under state OPP
GRAFTON of the mines, but that
they would refuse to work UNI
der present conditions even af-
ter receiving orders from the
united mine workers general
officers cancelling the previous
nation wide strike order.
To Keep People Warm
Governor Frazier's office,
working in conjunction with
the board of railroad commits
sioners, took up these problems
with the federal railroad adj
ministration to expedite ship
ments of coal from the head of
the lakes to the suffering towns.
Even the few days in which the
Ignite mines have been shut
down have cut big hole in the
states supply, and this situa-
ton, it was said at the Office of
the governor, made it more i'm
perative than ever that not a
day after the expiration of the
ultimatum should elapse before
the mines were put into opera
ton again.
What process will be followed
by the state in taking over the
mines should there be develop
ments by which the MEN would
not come to an agreement with
the operators and return to
work, or should they refuse to
obey the orders of their union
chiefs, could not be officially as
certained today. There were
several conferences at the cap
ital among officials at which the
governor was present. The
commonest report which could
not be verified, was that depu-
ties would be sworn in around
each mine which was not in
operation, and a coal producing
district marked out which would
be under control of the state.
In this connection a report
that one fairly large non-union
mine was not operating at a
time when the state was in the
most present need of fuel in its
history, was the cause of much
comment. Reports that nom
union as we'll as union mines,
should they not go to producing
to meet the needs of the state,
would be included in state oper-
ations, were current, but no Of
fetal would say whether or not
such a contingency had been
considered.

FARMERS EXPOSE
BIG ship CRAFT
Continued from Page One)

eminent are now fighting the
demand of organized farmers
and organized labor of America
that these ships constructed
with the peoples money be re-
tanned by the Government and
operated for the benefit of the
entire people instead of to en-
rich a few financial interests.
These financial interests have
been very clever in getting hold
of the ships and seem to think
that possession is nine points of
law, but that the Greene bill
should be passed to enable them
to get the extra point, and hang
onto the ships. The rights of
American producers and con-
sumers must not be thwarted
by the greed of the country's
big financiers. The people must
hold on to their ships"

POULTRY HINTS
FOR NOVEMBER

5 /. Culling. Continue to Gull
out and either sell or can all the
old, thin, sick hens which have
not laid and will not lay this
winter. Get rid of all small,
immature and weak pullets, for
a pullet in order to lay we'll this
winter must be about ready to
lay now, if she does not start
laying this month the chances
are that she won't until warm
weather comes in the spring.
Mark your best layers and use
them for your breeders next
spring, make your plans now to
get what roosters you will need
in the spring, for then they will
be hard to get. II you have
some good breeders that you
cannot use yourself don't sell
them, but advertise them in the
Farm Bureau News and help
the other fellow who is looking
for good stock.
2. Housing. If You have not
already done so don't put off
any longer fixing up that poul-
try house. No matter how good
stock you have if they do not
have proper house they will
not lay this winter. Every
house has a problem all it's own
SO that it is impossible to tell
here exactly what to do, but
house should have the following
points: Plenty of sunlight,
fresh air, free from dampness
and drafts. It should be as low
as possible and still high enough
to work in comfortably. If you
are planning to build a new
house the Farm Bureau have
blue-prints that may be OBJ
tanned at cost. If you are not
sure just the best way to rear
range your house make sketch
and diagram of end and front,
giving dimensions, showing po-
sitions of windows and doors
and send to Farm Bureau Office
and they will be glad to offer
you suggestions.
3. Disease. Watch out for
disease and dispose of any
which show weakness. Win
ter only the healthy, strong
and vigorous birds. Watch. out
for colds and roup, this is the
! time of year when it is ant to
appear. Prevention is better
than cure. Hens properly fed
and housed seldom gets colds
or roup.
tuberculosis is disease that
is pretty we'll spread over Mon
tana. If you suspect that your
hens may have it, examine the
liver and see if it is spotted.
Then if there is any doubt send
a hen to the Poultry Depart
ment at Bozeman for a diagnos-
is.
See that the hens and pullets
are free from lice and mites be-
fore being shut up for the win
ter. Remember that blue ONT
ment will get the lice and stock
dip sprayed around the same
twill kill the mites.

Canadians Expect Treaty
Applica'ion Without u. S

SDCCtIt Correspondence
OTTAWA, Nov. 2O-While Canadians
are surprised at the action of the Sen
ate at Washington, it is believed in
political circles here that the delay in
declining to ratify the peace treaty is
not likely to delay the formal procla-
nation of peace, is the opinion held in
federal government circles.
"If the United States cannot, or will
not, do it's share, the rest of the world
must take on the burden" says the
Montreal Star" "Mr. Wilson took the
only course possible: refused to accept
any ratification which contained the
Lodge principle. He recognized. what
certain Senators would not recognize.
that the dignity and greatness of the
United States would not permit her to
demand special privileges within the
new family of nations"
The Toronto Globe" says: Courage
of the indomitab!e brand that carried
Britain and france through their most
crucial periods in the world conflict is
reflected in the declarations Of some
OF the statesmen and newspapers of
both countries, that the league of ma
tions must not be allowed to die if
the United States finally and definitely
decides to stay out. An Old World
league of nations would not be so weaK
a combination without the United
States as some people in that country
hatter themselves into believng'
The Livingston Standard" says: "The
last great Country in the word is the
first to refuse to ratify. 1t apparently
has spent its millions and sac ificed its
men merely that its partisan politicians
may undo the valiant work of the men
in the field aud throw down the torch.
This action is neAp .cable."

SenQte;s Action
Puzzles Britons

LONDON, Nov. 20 (By the Associ-
ated ss).-Ncarly all British public
men are silent concerning the United
States Senate's dealings with the peace
treaty. The reason for this is that
they understand Americans regard the
question as an American domestic po-
litical affair and fear that any express
sions from them might give oiiense and
be taken as attempts to influence
American politics.
Lord Robert Cecil and Lieutenant
General Jan Christian SHUTS were the
British sponsors for the league of ma
tions and are largely responsible for
the details thereof, and both have reg
istered their disappointment at the lat
est turn of events, General SHUTS in
his appeal to America and Lord Rob
ert Cecil in a brief speech in the House
of Commons Monday
Lord Robert stands on that speech
and refers all questioners to it as be-
ing all he had to say on the subject
for the present.
Puzzles Average Man
1t would be impossible to try to sum
marize public opinion. The tirst vlev,
reflected by the newspapers was that
America had gone back on her agree
ment. Later advices from Washington
however, softcned this feeling. Amer-
can affairs generally, the relations be-
tween the President and Congress, the
rule regarding a two-thirds majority
and how concurrent resolution might
bring peace with Germany are puzz.ine
problems to the average man.

Bankers Think Nest
Congress VIII Ratify

Bankers expressed the view yester.
day that the failure of the Senate to
ratify the peace treaty would com.
plicate the already confused interna-
.ional situation, but by no means
placed the blame on the Senate alone
Many asserted that the voting down
Of the treaty was an outgrowth of
President Wilson's decision to ignore
the majority of the Senate in select
ing his peace commissioners to Paris.
Samuel McRoberts, vice president of
the National City Bank, said: ut
complcates the situation, from which
so much had been expected"
Francis II. Sisson, vice-president Of
the Guaranty Trust Company. said: ut
is to be regretted that the officials OF
the Administration and representatives
of our country have apparently not
been able to bury personal differences
in the public interest. 1t seems to me
that the present procedure is block
ing the wheels Of progress"
viii lam H. Chi. .ds president of the
barrett Company, expressed the opinion
that compromise wou d soon be
reached and that that would be better
than accepting the treaty in it's original
form, which he characterized as un-
reasonable.
JuueS D. luke SalQ: i am very BlaO
that this league Of nations pact mas
been defeated. 1t was the very worst
thing that has been offered to this
country"
A leading fnancier, whose name can
not be used, said: II am very happy
this morning that the league Of nations
is out of the way. This country has no
responsibility in mixing up in word
politics. Tne decks are now clear. We
can enter league of nations here
after or any terms we please"
The vjce-prcsldcnt OF an important
national bank, while expressing regret
over the failure of the Senate to ratify
the peace treaty, gave it as his opin-
ion that President Wilson had brought
this action upon his own head by his
attitude in ignoring the Senatorial
leaders in the negotiations at Yer
sallles.
Another banker thought that The
Presidents letter advising defeat of
.he Lodge resolution for ratification
Aas the last straw in determining the
fiTal action of the Senate. He ex-
pressed the belief, however, that at the
regular session of Congress efforts to
reach a compromise treaty would be
more successful
