One Of these, 5000 acres, was colonized
by five families from Illinois. The
bureau is offering, apparently, as many
improved farms, placed upon the mar
ket by farmers who wish to retire or
to start anew elsewhere in the state,
as it. is plats of undeveloped land.
Prices quoted by the bureau, which
acts as middleman between the farmer
landowner and the farmer land
seeker, range from $3.50 to $125 per
acre @F-
The commission is offering at $3.50
per acre a ranch of $500 acres in the
Pad Lands. north of Medora, which
includes 1000 acres of bottom land
suitable for cultivation. 1t is watered
by several streams and has a number
Of good artesian wells which never fail.
Settlers who have become interested in
North Dakota lands, however, appar-
emily are not looking for bargains. A
majority Of them appear TO prefer soil
in counties where the prices range
from $50 up to $3.50. The larger num-
ber Of middle western farmers want
corn land.

"GRAVE DANGERS" NOTED

Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-Chief
of the national and international
unions affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor were called today
to meet here December 13, "to formu-
late such action as may be essential to
safeguard and promote the rights, in
terest and freedom of the wage
earners."
The call issued by the federation's s
executive council and the heads of the
four railroad brotherhoods declared
labor was confronted with "grave
dangers affecting the very foundation
of it's structure,' and that it was i'm
perative that the responsible repre-
sentatives of the workers agree upon
Fundamental principals" which will
maintain the rights of free men,"
No specific topics for. discussion
were outlined but it is known that
pending anti-strike legislation will be
one Of the pricipal subjects. Other
matters expected to be taken up in
clude collective bargaining and the
rights Of organized labor to choose it's
own spokesmen as it sees fit, the sub
ject which finally resulted in the dis
solution of the national industrial
conference called by President Wilson.
Hines Hasn't Decided
Director General Hines has not
reached decision on the wage de-
mand of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen. Details of recommenda
tions made by the board Of railway

mendations would work in practical
application. Mr.. Hines hoped to make

HIGH SPOTS OF
MINERS DEMANDS
l-SiXty per cent increase
in wages.
2-Six hours work a day.
3-Five days work a week.
BY HARRY 3. HUNT

On. e. A. Washington Bureau
There will be no compromise by the
United Mine Workers Of America on
the principles involved in the present
issue with the bituminous coal opera
tors" John L. Lewis, president of the
miners, declared today.
The operators, Lewis insisted, have
sought to mislead the public both as to
the nature of the demands of the work
ers and the cost to the consuming pub
liz of their acceptance. The entire de-
Eands, he said, could and should be
net out Of inflated profits the opera
tors are now reaping and without any
material increase in costs to the con-
snming public.
Lewis, square shouldered. square
jawed, declared his men wanted no
fight with the operators, but were de-
termined to get at least approximate
justice and a living wage. Continuity
of employment, through the shortening
ct the workday, and wage that will
alleviate hunger in the mining camps
ard clothe the families Of the workers
In comfort are the essentials on which
the workers base their case.
"The coal operators have assidiously
cultivated in the public mind, through
the instrumentality of their gigantic
statistical and press bureaus, backed
Ey unlimited sums of money, the belief
that the United Mine Workers are
making radical and outrageous de-
mands, out of all proportion to the
ability of the mining industry to apply
them," Lewis said.
'"The demands of the mine workers
for shorter workday and substantial
increases In wages are the logical out
growth Of a comprehensive misunder-
standing OF the needs of the industry
and knowledge of the physical ne
cessities of the workers in the mines.
'The compelling force Of physical
necessity requires that a new wage
agreement be negotiated, effective No
yember 1, 1919.
Serene In the confidence of their
power and gloating over their enormous
var profits, the operators have peremp-
torily refused to discuss the merits Of
a possible new wage agreement. They
take refuge behind the legalistic bar
rier that in theory the war with the
central powers is not yet ended.
This attitude is merely a subter-
fuge to enable them to continue, longer
che reaping of their prodigious profits
and to create panic in the public
mind which will bring the operators
even added security.
"As a matter of fact, the demands Of
the mine workers. both as to the short
ening of the workday and the granting
Of higher wages could be applied in
toto without any material increase In
the price of coal to the consuming pub
lie. The present margin Of profit to
the operators, as shown by the recent
report of the federal trade commission.
