NEW PLAN PUT FORTH

To avert complete suspension OF op-

association in Bismarck, as ordered
by the Industrial commission, at 4
meeting held late yesterday, the work.
men are to be asked to work under y
deferred payment plan, it was stated
today by Robert Blakemore, manager
OF the association.
The industrial commission, in order
ing the suspension of the home build
ers work, also authorized the Bank
OF North Dakota to draw furthe, re-
strictions on the withdrawal Of pub
lie funds the bank is authorized to
refuse to honor drafts of treasurcrs
who are withdrawing funds and not
depositing any.
Put to W0rkmen
The proposition to avert suspension
of the home builders work is in the
hands of the workmen in Bismarck,
Mr., Blakemore said. The proposa. has
been made and many have responded
favorably, he said. and added that he
would confer with them this evening.
Whatever agreement is reached be.
tween the association and the work .
men will be put before the indus
trial commission, for approval.
There ~are several unfinished
houses in Bismarck, and the persons
for whom they are built desire to
move into them as quickly as pos
sible. About 40 wOrkmen are employ
ed on them, the payroll being about
$500 a week, it is said. Whether
they will be asked to accept postpone
ment Of their entire pay or only part
is not stated.
Same in Fargo
The same proposition will be put
to Fargo workmen, where about the
same number are employed and many
persons want to occupy their houses
yet this winter.
The association is said to have on
hand enough materials to complete the
program outlined and take care OF
most OF next years so the postpone
ment OF the payroll is the only neces-
sary action to be taken to assure CON
tinuance of the work, it is said
