cox PERVERTED
FACTS, HARDING
N AN AG ERS SAY
Congressional Record on Taxa
tion, Finances and League
of Nations Defended
CAN'T. HOLD CONFIDENCE

Marion, O., Aug. 10.-Assailing
Governor Cox's speech of acceptance
as Curious mixture Of errors and
misstat cments," Senator Harding's S
headquarters replied at length in an
official statement last night to the
Governors criticism Of the record of
the Republican congress on taxation,
finances and the league Of nations.
The Republican party, the statement
said, is read to join battle on the
question of whether "the senate at
tempted to subvert and did subvert
the wish and purpose Of the Ameri-
can people in preventing ratification
of the Presidents league"
Say He Perverted
Charges that the Republican SEN
ate and house had made no effort to
reduce war time tax burdens were de-
scribed as "far from recorded facts" "
and it was decided that by opposing
Democratic appropriation proposals,
the present congress had effc"tel a
saving of S2,4l4,115,144 in govern
ment expenditures. rt
The statement also asserted that
by suggesting repeal of consumption
taxes and enactment Of blanket l
1-2 per cent levy on the total business
of going concerns Governor Cox had
shown. that he has no program what
ever except to appeal for the support
of people who want somebody else to
pay the taxes"
Loses Confidence.
"A leadership which would distort
these outstanding facts as Gov. Cox
has done,' it continued, will hardly
command confidence when the coun-
try turns attention to the problem Of
our fiscal future

16 MILLION IS
GIVEN EXPRESS
MEN OF NATION
Railway Labor Board Hands
Down Decision on Wage
Increase Plea
WORKING RULES LATER
Board Finds That Express Men
as a Class Not as Well
Paid as Railroad Men
WORKING RULES LATER

Chicago, Aug. 10-Thirty million
dollars today was added to the ma
tion's bill when the United States
railway labor board award of the
American Railway Express company
an increase of 16 cents an hour. The
decision is retroactive to May l, 1929.
Under the terms of the Esch- Cum
Minis transportation act the express
company will be permitted to raise
it's rates sufficiently to meet the in
creased labor cost. Arguments in the
rate case already have been presented
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission in Washington. r"
Working Conditions Later
It was announced that a decision
covering new working rules would bo
handed down later.
The express decision applied to all
express employees with the exception
of $500 shopmen who were given a
thirteen cents an hour increase in
the railway award last month. The
16 cents an hour award is slightly
better than the average increase to
the railway men, the board finding
that express employees as class were
not so we'll paid as men in other lines
OF railroad work
Who Benefits
The wage increase will give mes
sengers and other train service en-
ployes an increase of $38.40 month.
all other employees will receive an
increase of $32.64 Train service en-
ployes work on a 24O-hour months
basis while all others work on a 2O4
hour basis.
Four Unions Affected Mn
The four unions affected by the
boards decision are: The Brother
hood of Railway and Steamship
clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and
Station employees; the International
Brotherhood of iTeamsters, Chauf-
feurs. Stablemen and Helpers Of
America, the Railway Express driv-
ers, shoppers and conductors Local
No. 72O of Chicago and the Order Oh
Railway Expressmen.
Presidents of the express unions
who were. present when the aWari
was handed down were nOnc0mmlttal
on the question Of it's acceptaDllltv
but the general impression was that
the labor board had been slightly
more generous than either the ex-
press company or union heads had
anticipated.
TWO of the unions had demanded
increases of $51 a month while the
other two asked increases OF $oo
month upward.

tions in North Daokta is contained in
the current report of A. j. Surratt,

The report estimates that pro-
duction of spring wheat in North Da-
kota at 77,794,O00 bushels, which is
almost one-third of the entire spring
wheat crop in the United States.
There are j6,915, 900 acres Of wheat IN
the state, the estimate shows, accord
ing to the estimates.

be enormous. # .. ..

The weather during the latter part
of July was pnfavorable in the greater
part of the state for grain. The high
point of the crop prospects was reach
