who Is attending the meeting Of tnc
American Federation OF Labor here.
Davies declared In statement

ion hes come back strong after tho
disastrous strike of two years ago.
The A F l. has gone on record as
being ready TO back the workers In
the packing plants against any at.
tempt on the part OF the packers
TO cut their wages.
The "big five" packers were con.
demned for attempting to reduce al
most 100000 workers and their de-
pendents ITO a degrading state Of
poverty with all It's attendant depri-
vations" and thus cause an "unfor-
tunate condition that because OF its
far'reaching results, will also impede
the progress of the nation

unemployment TO reduce the wages
of workers the resolution said:
"The workers in the packing In
dustry are threatened with n recur-
renee of prewar conditions and an
effort is made to lure them into
joining so-called company unions
which in reality are for the company
only, established, managed and con-
troled by the packers who hypocrit.
ically are proclaiming that they are
bringing industrial democracy to the
workers, a democracy with a string
tied to it,"

BANK PURCHASES
LOCAL BUILDING
As FUTURE HOME
schIuter Building Now Owned by
oklahoma National; May Tear
Down and Build Modern
Seven-story Structure.

The purchase of the Schuter build.
ing. corner of Third and Chickasha
by the Oklahoma National bank of
this city, was announced today by
II. T. Chandler, active vice.president
OF the bank.
The deal for the purchase of this
building by the bank has been pend
ing for several weeks and was def-
nitely closed only yesterday. The
purchase was made from the Schlut-
Ell estate, the heirs living in Dallas
In answer to question, Mr..
Chandler declared that ii was the in
tention of the Oklahoma National
to make certain improvements on the
building.
I'VE contemplate extensive re-
modelling Of the building" said Mr.
Chandler while 1t is impossible for
me to say just when such improve
ments will be made, it is no secret
that we have in mind n building pro-
gram which probably will call for a
new structure.
ut is entirely possible that we
will tear down the south 90 feet Of
this building and construct a modern
building of from five to seven stor-
les. When this will be done calnot
say. do not think this move will
be made in the immediate future.
Conditions as | see them, are hardly
ripe but feel sure that the building
will be constructed something along
the plans that have outlined. We
have every confidence in the future
of Chickasha and we need larger
quarters. There seems nothing for
us to do but construct new build
ing here"
The consideration in the purchase
was not announced by Mr.. Chandler.

CLARA HAMON

Acquitted OF Murder In
Sensational Trial At

national committeeman and reputed
millionaire oil man, is resting after
eight days in court and reading hum
dreds of letters and kilograms. She
had two conferences with attorneys,
who later said nothing had been ar
rived at regarding the possibility of
a suit against the Hamon estate and
that, while Clara had before her a
number of high salaried offers, she
was not considering their acceptance.
She herself said she was more in
terested in making new start in life
and establishing herself with respect
to the people in Ardmore, where she
will remain for the present. In a few
days, she said, she probably would GO
to Ell .Paso, where her father is very
i'll, and later to California, where a

BANK OF n. D.
PAYS MILLION
Pays Up Chicago Loan
And Interest In
Full

Bismarck, N. D.-Credit of the
Bank of North Dakota with outside
sources was maintained when the state
bank paid with interest the $1,000,-
600 loan secured from the Merchants
Loan and Trust company, Chicago,
last July.
Thus the monthly statement of the
bank issued as of the 18th reads:
"Bills payable, none," demonstrating
once again that the Bank of North
Dakota is the strongest financial in
stitution in the state. No other bank
is in the position of having cleaned
up it's obligations to other institutions.
Director General F. w. Cathro of
the state bank in announcing the pay
ment of the loan issued no other state
ment than the following:
IF other banks of the state would
take care of their obligations when
they are due and keep their promises
to pay, the financial situation would
be greatly improved"
The payment of the loan by the
Bank of North Dakota is a serious
blow to the "veracity" of the kept
press of the state which has been re-
peatedly informing the people that
the "bank can't pay its loan."

FRAZIER SIGNS
SEVERAL BILLS
Cuts Down Taxes When
He Approves New
Measure

Bismarck, N. D.-Governor Lynn j..
Frazier finished signing the bills pas
sed by the recent legislature. Only
one, Senate Bill II was vetoed. 1t
provided for payment of hail insur-
ance taxes in semi-annual INSTALL
ments. Ambiguity in the wording Of
several clauses which left the mean
ing of the measure in doubt was given
as the reason for the veto.
The governor exercised his right of
partial veto over the omnibus appro-
priation bills by clipping '$232000
from the biennial appropriation for
the state government and its institu-
tions. o..
Must Hold Down Taxes
Among the bills signed today by
the governor was House Bill Is linn
iting the tax levies of the political
subdivisions to the average Of the
levies for the last three years. Con-
siderable opposition on the part of
city officials and county officers de-
veloped against the measure, but
hundreds of letters came from private
taxpayers asking that the bill be
signed.
Governor Frazier pointed out that
the bill permits increase of taxes of
Is percent over the average by a
majority vote of the citizens Of the
subdivision. "If there is any real
ned for greater taxes, I think this
provision of the bill will take care Of
the matter" said Governor Frazier.
