TO REDS AID
Deprecates Efforts of Depart
ment of Justice in Con-
trolling Radicals
FEARS FOR THE LEADERS
Evidently Believes Townley and
Others Would be Included

FEARS FOR THE LEADERS

Just because the United States de-
partment Of justice has the foresight
to keep tabs on dangerous radicals
in this country the Courier-News in a
recent editorial demonstrates on
which side of the fence the Nonparti-
san league is standing. In fact, the
Courier-News even intimated that per-
haps some of the radicals in which
the department Of justice is interest
ed might be found within the band
of radical leaders which dominate
the league.
In it's editorial deprecating the ef-
forts Of the department of justice in
protecting not only the government
itself from it's avowed enemies, as
we'll as high federal and state officials,
the Courier,News says, "Or, to put
it more bluntly, America now has a
spy system poking it's nose into the
private affairs of every man who dis
agrees with the government and
wants a change
Distorts Truth
BY its usual method of distOrting
the truth, the league mouthpiece
would make it's readers believe that
the department of justice, in keeping
tabs on preachers of the doctrine Of
direct action, is really aiming at Or
ganiZed labor such as is represented
by the American Federation of La
Dor. The twister of truth, the manu-
facutrer of untruths and the teller
of halftruths, insnuates that the de-
partment of justice "is reaching out
for every opponent of big business.
1t is. indeed. the servant Of big bust
ness "lf the list doesn't include the
leaders of the Nonpartisan league, it
soon WILL" says the Courier-News.
And yet there are those who do not
believe the leaders of the Nonparti
san league are socialists.
What has become of the socialist
party Of North Dakota and where are
its leaders? The answer to both
questions is ''the Nonpartisan league. .

Washington. May 3.-The North Da-

imposes an excise tax on stocks and
bonds of interstate railroads operating
within the state was declared uncon-
stitutional today by the supreme court.
Injunctions restraining the innposi-
tion of taxes under the act against
various railroads were sustained. Ghe
statute was attacked in proceedings
instituted by five carriers who con-
tended that it imposed taxes upon
their property located outside the
state in violation of the constitution.
The railroads involved were the Nor

Milwaukee and st. Paul. Minneapolis.
St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie and the

visit a few moments before the head
OF the column reaches that place. The
leaflets will give the names of the
business firms taking part in the trip
and will carry the slogan Boost for
good roads"
At a meeting held last week attend

of the city, p. f. Fields, chairman Of
the tour, was authorized to appoint
various committees. The finance COM
mittee consisting of AL Rosen, Bert

Up In The Air
There was some discussion as to
who would accompany Cameron in
the airplane and the matter was final

Ray RergesOn and one or two others
made strong pleas for this high posi-

mess men present.
A publicity committee consisting of
Bert Finney, George N. Keniston and
one lesser light was named to tell
the world that Bismarck business
men were strong boosters for better
roads 50 that the farmers would bring
their produce to the cities and towns
and the cities and towns could better
serve the agricultural communities.
All arrangements for the tour has
been placed in the hands of com

SEARCHING PARTIES
TRY TO LOCATE
STORM DAM AGE

Chealsea. Okla. May 3.-Seaching
parties today spread out over the
country north of here to ascertain the
full extent of a tornado that struck
just before dusk last night, bringing
death to at least five persons and
serious injuries to a dozen more. No
estimates of property damage had
been made.
The district affected is rural and as
wire communication was paralyzed it
was believed the exact loss of life and
property damage might not be known
for some time.

New Bedford. Mass. May "a
strike of approximately 10000 opera
tives went into effect at 81 cotton cloth
mills in this city today. The walkout
was occasiOned by the posting of
notices relative to working conditions
for the loom fxers who were required
to operate more looms than formerly.
The loom fxers struck several
weeks ago and their protest received
the support of the textile council
which ordered today's general strike.
Early police reports from the mill gate
indicated that only small percentage
of workers reported for duty and that
many of these left the mills soon after
entering. Special details OF police
kept pickets moving and no disorder
was reported.
The cloth mills affected are operat
cd by eighteen corporations with
weekly payroll of $367,00O. Three
companies are not involved and the
yarn mills also are not affected.
