UNION CARPENTERS
ASKING NEW RAISE
Nine Hundred Members Vote
to Hold Out for Scale of
$1.121-2 an Hour.

Nine hundred members of the United
brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers of Washington, Alexandria and
the vicinity. last night unanimously
Adam of the Carpenters District
Council to notify employers that the
scale for which carpenters would
work after October l. would be $1.l2 Y
per hour.
The special meeting was held in
Old Masonic Temple. Although bal
loting on referendum vote regard
ing a wage scale of $1.25 per hour
resulted in decided majority in favor
of that scale, the wage committee of
the carpenters council requested sup
port of their program for a compro-
mise at $1-12!s, in an endeavor to fore
stall any; strike in the building lines
in the District.
, Following several addresses by
members of the committee, q vote
nuIllfylng the referendum vote was
taken. which placed the matter Of an
increase in the hands of the wage
committee.
The committee had offered a compro-
mise of s1.12ia to builders on August
20, but no definite acceptance had been
received last night previous to the meet
ing. Employers were declared to BE-
willing to grant an increase of ) cents
per hour, running the scale up to 81
slor the year starting tomorrow.
Midnight Session Held.
The statement issued by the wage
committee which held a midnight ses-
sion after the meeting of the union,
declared that the action was taken to
keep down, as far as possible, the cost
of building. 1t was declared that al
though other building trades were re-
oeiving as high wage as $1.25 an hour,
the committee felt its duty to set the in
crease at the lowest possible figure.
The meeting left all steps for further
action in the hands of the District Car
penters' Council, which will hold a meet
ing Monday night. The council is the

Law Effective
(BY United Pressl

Washington, JAM, 5.x--Upholding
the constitutionality ~6f the more
vital of the .Volstead prohibition en-
forcement law, the United tSates Su-
preme court today declared that beer
containing two and seventy-five hun
dreths of alcohol, and other near
beers, cannot be sold under war time
prohibition.
The important feature of the de-
cision is that the court upholds the
action Of congress in declaring intox-
icating and preventing the sale OF
all beverages containing one half of
one per cent of alcohol by volume,
with the exception of home made
cider and wine.
The decree of the court may be
taken as definition of Intoxicating
liquor that will stand under consti-
tutional prohibition also, because OF
the definite statement that congress,
in providing for the enforcement Of
prohibition, has the right to pre-
scribe just what makes beverages in
toxicating.

ALL STOCK BREEDERS
SHOULD Be INTERESTED

Fair Association Would Ap.
preciate Cooperation on
Part of Breeders

trami County Fair association has
the following to say regarding the
pavilion in Bemidji for show and
sales of live stock, which will be
discussed tomorrow at the meeting OF
the Live Stock Breeders association
in the court house:
"All livestock breeders in the
county should be interested in live
stock sales and show pavilion. The
shows and sales will give men having
good stock for sale chance to show
what they have and will give the
focal breeders chance. to see the
animals they desire to purchase
This pavilion has been talked Of for
some time and now is the time to
act so as to have the building ready
for next winter.
"The livestock breeders should join
with the Beltrami County Fair asso-
citation and build the building on the
County Fair grounds. This has been
done at Luverne. Mimi, and will be
done in several other places in this
state The County Fair association
should serve the agricultural inter-
ests of the county. All livestock pre-
miums have been given a substantial
increase for the 1920 fair, and with
a new building should bring on the
best livestock in the county.
"The advantages of livestock pa
vilion, suitable alike for fair purpo-
ses, winter shows and sales. should
be appreciated by every citizen OF
Beltrami county.
"The County Fair association ex-
poets to build livestock pavilion
soon and would like to cooperate
with the Bemidji Civic association,
Livestock Breeoers, ETC., and build a
building suitable for sales and Win
ter shows. If interested, be present

HOLIDAY RECESS FINDS
ROOMS LACKING FOR
SIX NEW TEACHERS
Supt. Bagby Makes An Appeal
to Those Who Are Able
to Help

Opening of the public schools, after
the holiday recess, is causing another
congestion in the available quarters
for the teachers of the schools, as
six vacancies have been filled and
there is the usual lack Of rooms.
Superintendent R. 0. Bagby is
making an earnest request of all who
can spare the new teachers rooms in
modern homes, even though it be at
a sacrifice, to phone him. 1t would
be much appreciated.
The teachers cannot afford to room
at hotels, and that is not desirable,
for the hotels need their rooms for
their travelling patrons. "The schools
should be able to obtain quarters for
it's teaching force" says Superintend-
ent Bagby, land it is absolute that
we provide accommodations for the
teachers. It's up to the people Of
Bemidji to help"
Mr.. Bagby asks that those who
have rooms that can be spared to
telephone him at the superintendent's
office in the high school.

(By United Press.)

Columbus, O., Jan. 5.-Conserva-
tive labor entered the arena against
radicalism here today.
More than two thousand coal min
ers came from all parts of the coun-
trv to hear details Of President Will
sons basis on which their strike was
settled-and to pass judgment on
the settlement.
Approval means endorsement OF
the present miners union administra-
ton headed by John L. Lewis, acting
president, and William E. Green,
secretary-treasurer. Disapproval
means reputation of them and a
move in favor of the radical element
within the organization.
Lewis and Green fought "to the
last ditch" to force adoption of the
presidents proposal at the confer
of union chiefs at Indianapolis while
members of "the left wing" wanted
to throw the entire strength of the
United Mine Workers of America nto
the balance to obtain their wage and
hour demands.
The meeting today was recon
vened session of the Cleveland con-
vention of the miners union, which
formulated demands for a sixty per
cent increase in wages and a thirty
hour week. Each of the 2,O44 dele
gates represented local union.
It was expected that the "show-
down" would come today or tomor-

row with a motion for vote of con-
idence in their chieftains.
Explaining the purpose Of the con-
vention today, Lewis did not touch
on the political turmoil within the
union. He said merely:
"The only purpose of this conven-
tion is to explain to the delegates
the reasons which prompted their
officers in accepting the presidents
proposal for settlement of the strike.
It is designed to promote more COM
plete understanding among the Unit
ed Mine Workers Of the settlement
and to secure great harmony of ac-
tion among the miners and to insure
maximum coal production. By har-
mony of action I mean a more hearty
and spirited acceptance Of the presi-
dents proposition"
The convention was to be called
to order at 10 o'clock in Memorial
hall. First was to come an address
of Lewis as presiding officer. He
planned his address to include re-
view of the battle through the coal
strike, of the federal court injunction
against the strike, of the negotiations
with the mine operators and the gov
ernment's mediation, of the arrest of
the international officers, the execu-
tive committeeman, the district presi-
dents and the scale committeeman,
and finally of the Washington con-
ference between himself, Green, and
Attorney-Genera Palmer wherein
the presidents proposal was first sub
mitted.
