CABINET JOB TALK;
REMAIN GOVERNOR
SAYS lie Will Stick to Position
to Which He Is Elected, Re-
gardless of Offers.

Missoula, Dec. 29-Governor-e elect
Joseph NJ Dixon, whose name has been
mentioned frequently in connection with
Harding's cabinet as possible choice for
secretary of the interior, when seen by
an Associated Press correspondent de-
clared that, having been elected govern
or of Montana. he could not see his way
clear to resign the position, no matter
how flattering an offer might come to
him His statement follows:
You will appreciate the fact that any
discussion by me involving the makeup
of Mr.. Harding's cabinet is a very deli
cate matter. At the same time, am
free to say that. having been elected by
the people of Montana to serve as gov
ernor, can see no possible situation in
the immediate future, no matter how
flattering it might be- that would tempt
me to resign the place to which | have
been elected 1t would seem like a
breach of faith to do otherwise.
1T may be that take the matter too
seriously, but that is my notion of it.
Under ordinary circumstances, / would
have been glad TO serve as secretary of
the interior. The position means every
thing to the west. In many ways it
would be far easier place than the
governorship, but as i see it, my duty at
this time is right here in Montana

UNION WORKERS
FACE RU|NAT|ON,
SAYS AUTHORITY
Redouble Efforts to I'M
prove Conditions, Say
Catholic Expert.

New York. Dee. o9-IndustriaI con-
ditions in the United States and the
reed for labor laws for the protection
of workers were discussed by speakers
at the dinner here Wednesday night of
the American association of labor legis-
lation. which opened it's fourteenth an
nua1 meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The Rev. John R. Ryan, professor of
industrial ethics Of the Catholic uniyer-
sity of America. spes king on "State IN
tervention VS.. lndust i'll AutocracF" at
the dinner, declared the trade unions
must fight as hard as they know how
against the attempt to destroy them,
and all friends of justice must redouhle
their efforts to improve conditions of
employment by legislation" The lone
means which, he said will suffice for
this purpose is a considerable measure
Of individual ownership by the workers
of the tools of production through CO.
operative organizations
IF labor organizations" he added.
"could obtain for the working people all
the protection and benefits that they
need, industrial legislation would be un-
necessary and undesirable. 1t is better
that men should do things for themselves,
than that the state should do things for
them. But we know from abundant ex-
perience that the labor unions of the
United States are not able to effect the
reform in industrial conditions which are
urgently demanded. Therefore. we must
have recourse to the state. Industrial
autocracy, however, holds that neither
labor unions nor legislation is necessary.
This means a benevolent fuedalism which
is impossible in this democratic age"
Whiting Williams, former vice presi-
dent of the Hydraulic Pressed Steel Co,
who spent several months with mill
workers in this country and England
urged establishment of national and
state employment bureaus.

Signal, Latest
of Scientists

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Developments
of a chemical eye" through which
the rays Of ordinarily invisible light
could be seen and which the discov-
erer said would prove Of great help
in warfare, was explained Nednes-
day night by Professor Robert w.
Wood, of Johns Hopkins university
in an address before the convention
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
Professor Wood, during his lee
ture, demonstrated a machine of his
own invention which produced ultra
violet rays invisible TO the naked
eye. His audience then viewed the
rays through a wide angle telescope
device which caused them to become
visible and TO take on a phosphor-
escent appearance.
These rays and the detecting de-
vice we're the result of the war,
Professor Wood said, the govern
ment asking a group of scientists to
produce a light which would be Wis
ible to those who knew Of it but
which would be invisible to the enc
my. The discovery was made short
III after the armistice, the speaker
said. explaining that it would be
used primarily in signalling but
probably could be developed into
many other uses.

Description of Struggle

Description of Struggle
A description of the last phases of
the struggle in Fiume received here
show that the legionairies reopened fire
against the troops who were merely
holding the positions they had taken
Monday night
The fight assumed the character of
guerilla warfare all along the line The
legionairies took advantage of the nat
urai resources of the terrain for laying
ambuscades.
AS the regulars were advancing across
orchards they were enveleped by fire
from machine guns which had been sunk
to the level II the ground ard cieverly
camoufiaged.
The truce was arranged during the
night and will continue until the conclu-
sion of the conference Mayor Rickardo
Gigantic of Fiume and Captain Host
Venturlin in whose hands d'Annunzso
placed the defense of the city, will be
the spokesman for Fiume.
DAnnunzioan legionaries at Fiume
set fire to powder magazine in the
Recina valley southeast of the city
Saturday night, according to a report
from Abdazia, The explosion which
the woods surrounding Fiume to the
east and great clouds of black smoke
rolled down over the city
italian regular troops surrounding
FIume continued to advance west and
north Of the city yesterday. while on the
eastern side the situation was unchanged
The flercest fighting occurred west Of
Fiume, where Alpini advancing from
Castra reached the public gardens. When
they had forced their way that far. they
found all the houses surrounding the
gardens had been transformed into
machine gun nests, from which a terri
fic fire was poured upon them.
InfIIot Heavy Losses
An armored car advanced against the
regulars and inflicted heavy losses, the
sAlpini throwing themselves on the
ground and continuing the struggle for
some time. Major Dambara. in COM
mand of the Alpini, rode through the
gardens on horseback and rushed toward
the car but was wounded twice and his
horse was shot dead. When the fire
ceased, Majer Dambara was able to
struggle toward the car and upon enter
ing it found three dead legionairies and
two seriously wounded commissioned
officers
Wounded regulars have been taken in
motor lorries to Trieste and Gorzia,
where special hospitals were organized.
The number of men taken to these hos
pitfalls increased steadily.
Regulars Handicapped
The regulars found themselves handi-
capped in the fight against the legion
Aries. They were armed only with
rifles, while the D'Annunzian troops
used hand grenades and machine guns
and besides had laid mines so thorough
" that every step the government sol
diers were in danger of being blown up.
Two houses in Fiume have already
been destroyed by mines.
The wounded men say the regular
troops were instructed not to fire un-
less absolutely obliged to do so, whils
the legionairies have taken every adyan-
tage to inflict the heaviest possible
losses upon their assailants.

FEDERAL WHISKY
PERMITS WILL BE
CUT DURING 1921
Great Lakes Cities, Border Points, Both Canadian
and Mexican, Regions Will Be Hit Hard,
SAYS Prohibition Commissioned

Washington, Dec 2o.-(By the Asso-
ciated press).-Plans for reducing the
number of federal permits for handling
liquor next year, were announced We'd
nesday by Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer, who said the new issue Of Ii
censes would be held to strict mini
mum in an effort to check illegal liquor
sales.
The greatest reduction will be in
wholesale permits under Mr.. Kramers $
program. but other dealers entitled to
operate under the Volstcad act will also
be affected. The commissioner says he
intends to refuse to reissue between
30 and 10 per cent" of the wholesale
licenses now in effect.
The enforcement staff has been en-
gagged for several months in studying
the records Of the 1900 odd permit

holders to ascertain who have commit
ted over acts under prohibition statutes
with the view of eliminating them from
the list of those who may handle intox-
cants next year.
Atlantic seaboard areas apparently
have provided the prohibition enforce
ment agents with their greatest prob
lens and it is expected those districts
will lose the largest number Of liquor
dealers under the plan.
Great Lakes cities and border points,
both Canadian and Mexican, also have
given trouble for the enforcement
corps, according to the bureaus records,
and Mr. Kramer said he planned to see
that fewer permits would be granted in
those regions hereafter.
The prohibition bureau was said to be
giving some attention also to the sale
of liquor by retail druggists.

Paris, Dec. 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press ).-WhiIe the French
people have their worries, yet they
will begin the new year immensely
more confident than they began 1920
because of the extraordinarily good
crops, progress In restoring the
ruined departments of the north,
plentiful supply of coal and the pros
pect a year hence of having the
period of military service reduced
from three years to i8 months.
Two foreign questions are likely
TO give constant concern to the gov
ernment throughout the coming
year. They are the payment of
reparations by Germany and the
war with Turkish nationaIists over
the Syrian and ClIician mandates.
Great Falls daily tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1895-1921, 1920-12-30

Then, also, there are the large gen.
eral questions of the future of the
Versailles peace treaty, the League
of Nations, and the many issues
growing out of the peace confer
ence, in all of which France has a
very deep concern In what the COM
Ing year may bring forth.
The German attitude at the Brus-
sells conference, which will be re-
sumed January 10, give rise to the
expectation that the agreement on
reparations is possible early in the
spring fixing the total sum and the
manner of payment.

TO LEVY TAX ON BILLBOARDS
Commission Recommends That Massa.
chusetts Legislature Get Revenue
From Advertising Devices.

Taxation of billboards and all other
kinds of outdoor advertising devices,
as well as regulations of their size,
location and manner of construction, is
recommended in the report Of the
special billboard commission submit
ted to the legislature.
The only advertising signs exempt
from the legislation recommended by
the commission are those which have
been erected in conformity with exist
ing law and which call attention to the
person occupying the premises on
which the sign appears or to the bust
ness that is done on these premises,
or advertising the property itself or
any part thereof as for sale or to let.
For all other signs, the commission
recommended that an annual excise
tax be levied, the amount to be de-
termined by the division Of highways
Of the public works department, hav-
ing in mind in each case the location
Of such sign or device, the character
of the neighborhood the number and
class of persons usually passing with
in reasonable distance of the sign, and
such other factors as in the judgment
of the members of the division will
give to sign in that particular loca-

ROADS
FUEL SAVED BY GOOD ROADS
Wear and Tear on Trucks and Amount
OF Gasoline Consumed Shown in
Recent Ohio Test.

A test conducted in Ohio recently
to determine the saving in sAsoiine
from running over a good road as COM
pared with gas consumption over bad
and Interchangeable roads, disclosed a
surprising difference. Five new army
standard "A" trucks with seven
different types of road service, showed
a gain of six miles per gallon of fuel
between the best and worst types of
roads. All the trucks were empty dur
ing the test.
The trucks loaded showed that the
poor road took seven times as much
gasoline per mile as the good one.
Inc test results showed an average
OF 57S miles per gallon over a dirt
road in good condition, 7.19 over fair
gravel, $50 over good gravel, about
the same over fair bituminous macad-
am and good brick roads, 11.44 over
extra smooth brick and 117S over good
concrete.
The saving to the motoring public
IN gasoline alone would amount to
millions of dollars annually. Perhaps
equal to this would be the saving in
tires, which is considered as important
an item of car upkeep as is gasoline.
Calculating the saving in wear and
tear on the mechanism of cars and
trucks and also the item of time lost
by poor roads, adequate highways are
undoubtedly a sane investment.
