WashingtOn.-The peace resolu-
ton had passed the half way mark on
it's way through the House when
echoes of the storm or OratOry and
debate it provoked died away. For
six hours it was the center of discus
sion on the floor yet no one questioned
that it would be adopted
There was 4 vote on adoption of the
special rule limiting debate and pre-
venting amendment of the resolution
as drawn by the Foreign Affairs COM
mittee The rule was carried, 214 to
155, seven Democrats joining the Re-
publicans in its support and one Re-
publican opposing it, This was taken
to indicate action on the resolution
itself, but Republican leaders said
more Democrats would join them on
the final vote.
The November election figures al
most as prominently in the debate as
did the international situation, war
time legislation or oven President Will
sons share in the treaty fight. A
statement by Representative Pou,
Democrat of North Carolina, that the
President had been without personal
ambition in his action brought roar
of laughter from the Republican side.
1t was echoed from the Democrats a
moment later when Representative
Montague, Democrat of Virginia asked
Chairman Campbell of the Rules COM
Inn
gary also lad not been proposed.

Investigation of "OutIaW Railroad
Walkout," Now In Progress,
To Be Made.
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Labor Leaders In Frantic Efforts to
Call Off Strke-Nationa Leaders
Asked to Help Frame New
Legislation.

Washington.-The Senate has in
structed the Senate interstate COM
merce committee to make an investi-
now in progress.
The action was taken on the resOlu-
ton introduced by Senator Mccormick
of Illinois. Senator Cummins will
proceed to bring the matter before his
committee at once.
The investigation is not expected to
yield much in the way of information
but is expected to provide a forum be-
fore which the matter can be aired
and the public attention concentrated
on the salient features of this unusual
situation.
The frantic efforts which the labor
leaders are making to call off the
outlaw strike shows the keen real
ization they have of the seriousness
of the situation. They, too, are awake
to the power of public opinion in
dealing with a labor situation which
so intimately effects the general pub
lie.
Leaders Views Sought.
Herbert Hoover, Samuel GOmpers,
w. H. Taft and other national figures
are to be asked to recommend labor
legislation to Congress and give their
views on means of reducing industrial
unrest, according to plans completed
by Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
education and labor committee.
They will be asked to appear before
this committee in the near future.
Secretary of Labor Wilson and prob
ably several large employers of labor,
such as Charles NJ. Schwab, John D.
of economists and special students of
labor problems, will probably be sum-
mOned

MACHINERY is GIVEN
BIG BOOST IN NORTHWEST

The bureau of research and sta
tistics of the Washington State Re-
tailers' association has confirmed re-
ports that the principal manufacture
ers of farm machinery in the United
States have advanced their factory
prices from 10 to 25 per cent.
The increased have extended over
a period of 60 days, the percentage
of increase varying somewhat with
the manufacturer. According to the
information received by the bureau
an average increase for the various
kinds of farm implements is as fol-
lows:
Grain drills, II 1-2 to 20 per cent;
plows, 10 to rs per cent, according to
the amount of wood and cast iron;
feed cutters, s per cent; cutting ma
chinery, 10 per cent; machinery COM
posed largely of cast iron and wood,
rs per cent; machinery involving
mostly steel, 10 to II per cent.
Increasing cost of production is
given by manufacturers as the rea-
son for the advance which is forced
upon retailers of the northwest.

MONTANA CATTLE HERDS
ARE BEING SHIPPED HOME

Either on the road from Texas, Ne.
braska and other states or on the old
stamping grounds in the Grow and
Blackfeet reservations and some
other parts of the state, are $4,000
head of cattle which were pastured
elsewhere during the winter, accord
ing to E. A. Phillips, secretary of the
state livestock commission.
Some losses we're experienced by
shippers because of a bad and late
snowfall which fell recently in the
middle western states. The mapority
of the cattle just arrived or on the
road for Montana from other feeding
grounds are billed for the Crow In
dian reservation in the southern part
of the state, according to Phillips,
who adds that a number are also go
ing to the Blackfeet reservation.
While the number of cattle in the
state this summer will be a little
under normal, Montana will be far
from shy of plenty of range and beef
cattle this year.

OPEN BIDS THIS MONTH
ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Bids will be opened with a view to
letting contracts for more highway
construction in Montana, by the state
highway commission, in Roundup,
June Is, Helena, June IS and Laurel
June %.
The bids to be opened at Roundup
are for a paving project, the same at
Laurel and the bids to be opened in
Helena are for putting a gravel sur
face on section A of project 95, in
Hill county, giving eventually a gra-
vel highway from the eastern county
line of Hill county to Havre and in
all a gravel road from Havre to Mad
ras.
The commission has also received
plans for a proposed highway from
Havre to Clifford.
Work has been started on project
No. 81, to pave two miles of the Poly
technic highway near Billings.

FARMERS AND COOPERATIVE
FIRE AND HAIL INSURANCE

Whatever may be done by corpora
tions for profit may be done more
economically by the people them
selves through cooperation. Insur
ance involving the risk of loss by fire
hail or sudden death is a business re
curing an accumulation of capita.
or an accumulation of credit. 1t car
be conducted by a corporation for
profit or by cooperation of the in
sured for service by pooling their
credit. There are two kinds of CO.
operative insurance: that operated
by the state and that operated by CO.
operative societies made up of the
actual participants who pay only
enough in premiums to meet losses
and the actual expense of operation.
In Europe and the older states the
cooperative idea has been developed
to a remarkable degree of perfection.
Cooperative buying and co-opera-
tive selling of manufactured goods
and farm products has done much to
cut out the parasites-middle men
and reduce the cost of living. Coop
erative banks and cooperative insur-
ance is rapidly displacing the old line
operated for profit and
exploitation.
There is no reason why the farm
ers of Montana, or of any other
state for that matter, should not
carry their own fire and hail insur-
ance and at much less cost to them
than when carried by the old line in
surance companies. This has been
and is being demonstrated by the
American Society of Equity which in
1916 organized a fire and hail insur-
department which at the present
time is carrying nearly 100000 of
fire insurance at cost, thus saving to
the farmers thousands of dollars in
lower premiums but also keeping
the state a large sum of
money that otherwise would be taken
from the state and deposited in the
financial centers to be used to ex-
ploit the very farmers from whom it
was collected.-Campbell's Scientific
