BISMARCK, Oct. 20.-Miss Min
ME Nelson, state superintendent of
public INSTRUCTION and a candidate
for reelection on the 1. V. A. Grain
Combine ticket, is going up and down
the state, complaining that many of
her powers and prerogatives have
been abrogated by the state board of
administration. In order to discover
whether or not her statements have
foundation in fact or was pure pre-
tense, an examination of records was
made recently at Bismarck. This in
quiry shows Miss Nelson's author
ity almost as plenary and absolute
as that exercised by the late Gar
Nicholas of Russia. In so far as the
conduct of the public schools is
concerned she has been "Queen of the
Walk" and were the people Of North
Dakota to grant her any more prero-
gatives, they might as well turn
the state over to her bag and baggage,
allowing her to exercise the sovereign
power of a monarch.
fOWerS Sdme AS Ever.
F.. Miss Nelson's exercises the same
powers as her predecessor did. Chief
among these are the following:
/. Full supervision over the ex-
penditure Of $780, 900 during the bien-
mum, which is $14,30O more than the
sum appropriated for any previous
superintendent by the state legisla-
ture.
2. Appointment of assistants to
help her in her work.
8. Opportunities for educational
leadership and for determining the
educational policies in all the one
room and graded schools. Prescribes
and prepares course of study for
common schools. Prepares and distri-
butes a list of books, approved by
her, for public Libraries, etc.

ANTHRACITE MEN
DESERVE RAISE
50 Says Vice President Of the
y. N. W. A. After Months
in the Field.
SEES NO FURTHER TROUBLE
% Higher Wages Are Refused the
Hard Coal Miners, They May
Leave for Other Regions
Where Pay Is Better.

Back from the anthracite coal re-
Eion, where he had passed eight
months in efforts to settle the miners
strike, Philip Murray, International
vice president Of the United Mine
Workers of America and formerly
president Of District No. s, expressed
confidence that the miners generally
would resume work. He was hopeful,
he said, that union officials In the an
thracite region then would be able to
get a wage increase for the men in
addition to the II per cent which has
been allowed them. Speaking Of the
outlook, he said:
"There does not appear to have been
any logical reason for refusing the
anthracite men as great al advance
as was allowed the soft coal miners.
which was 81 per cent. When they
are back at work, the question will be
taken up by their officers with the
federal authorities and the wage COM
missions, and a strong effort will be
made to have the award increased.
We hope we shall succeed in doing
this.
What will happen if w are unsuc-
e~essful, l, Of course, am not author
lied to say, but it does not appear to
me that there should be any further
trouble resulting in a suspension of
operations. Work is plentiful through
out the country at higher wages than
are paid these men. I rather think
that many of them, If they are unable
to obtain higher wages, will leave
these fields and 60 to others.
"The day laborers In the anthracite
field, for instance, get only a trit1e
more than 81 a day. Day labor is
plentiful in the soft coal region at 81
to $3.50 a day. Under these condi-
lions the situation should right itself
in a short time"
Mr.. Murray, who Is a member Of
the Pittsburgh board Of public edu-
cation. expressed the opinion that the
condition Of unrest which prevails
throughout the country is due to
p%rOfteering, and that this in turn has
been made possible in large part by
the inadequate transportation service.
A marked improvement in t%ransporta-
ton Is observable, he pointed out, and
this he expected to see reflected in a
reduction in profteerlng.
