H0NAT FACES
CRIME CHARGE
Strike Will Continue,
Position Unalterable,
He Declares.

Pittsburgh. Kan, Feb. 17.-Alex.
ander NJ Howat, president, and Au-
gust Dorchy. vice presidet, respect
lively, of the Kansas district of the
United Mine Workers of America were
arrested Thursday on warrants issued
in Cherokee county charging them with
criminally violating the Kansas indus
trial court law in connection with the
calling of the Mackie strike.
The arrest of Howat and Derehy il
the first under the criminal sections
of the industrial court law in the Kan
sas Mine field. Both were sentenced
to Jail last April for contempt OF
court and again Wednesday for con-
tempt.
Welcome Chance. Say
If held for trial on the criminal
charge. Howat and Dorchy will face
the Cherokee county district court at
Columbus. Il welcome the chance of
direct test, Howat said when ar
rested.
The complaint alleges that Howat
and Dorchy, using their power and in
fluence as union officials, induced min
ers at Mine H. to quit work, thereby
suspending the operations of the mine
which was producing coal for use as
fuel for domestic. manufacturing and
transportation purposes.
"All of the judges of district courts
and all of the injunctions and indus
trial courts shall not alter our posi-
tion," Howat declared, in statement.
Strike VIII Go On
Howat asserted that the strike at
the Macke mines would go on until
such time as this company complies
with the contract and pays the boy
who is involved in this dispute and his
widowed mother the amount that is
due them in accordance with the deci
sion rendered by the joint board of
miners and operators.
Neither injunctions nor the indus
trial court can stop strikes, he said.
''The fact that there is strike in
this district at the present time dem
onstrates clearly that neither injunc-
tons nor the industrial court stops
strikes in this state.
Il suppose the injunction process
and industrial court law of Kansas are
samples of the Democracy that the
young men of our own country gave
up their lives for on the battlefieids
Of France.

SENATE CREATES.
ON NAN BOARD
FOR HIGHWAYS
Booth Cuts Commis~
sioner's s Salary From
$4,000 to $4,000 Year.
White Supports Bill as
Something Definite
in Retrenchment Line.
BY WARREN w. MOSES
Staff CORRESPONDENT.

| Helena, Feb. liberation of one
man highway commission was approv-
| ed in the senate Thursday when in
| committee of the whole it considered
$. 3. 141, by Junod, and recommended
the bill for passage on third reading.
Virtually no opposition was encounter
ed by the bill in its consideration BY
the committee and there was little dis
cussion other than relating to amend
ments. The bill, as approved pro-
vlded for the appointment by the gov
ernor OF highway commissioner who
shall appoint chief engineer, the COM
missioner to be either business man
or an engineer
in having the salary of the commits
sioner reduced from $4,000 a year, as
provided in the bill, to 5000. stating
that he introduced the amendment in
response to the demand for retrench-
ment and that the sooner Montana
came down to earth" and quit trying
to run its government upon the basis
Of a state with 10 or 20 times it's
population, the better for Montana.
He said
Would Wreck Counties.
"The trouble with the states fl
nances is based upon the idea that we
can have all the things enjoyed by
state with a population of 5000, 900
instead Of limiting ourselves to the ad-
vantages which can be afforded by
state Of 10000. Every time this
legislature meets, somebody discovers
that New York or some other state mas
board or commission that Montana
has not and Immediately bill is in
troduced to meet this oversight. We
can not build system of roads such
as we talk of without wrecking the
counties that try to maintain them.
Replying to a statement that high
class man could not be obtained for
$4,000, Senator Booth replied that he
was desirous of trying man out at
5000 and if he proved satisfactory to
then raise his salary, rather than to
pay an incOmpentent man $1,000 and
then find it necessary to discharge him.
Some OF the senator's suggested that
other states were paying the heads of
their highway departments from $500
to $4,000 per year.
Senator White Agrees.
''The senator from Fallon talks like
a Democrat" said Senator b. c.
White, because he wants to get some
thing definite; something workable,
and something along the line of re-
trenchment." Accordingly he felt that
he could "for once" agree with Booth.
Another amendment adopted holds
the commissioner responsible under
his bond for the acts of his assistants
and gives him authority to remove
assistants at any time for cause.

CARUS0 BETTER
DOCTORS SAY

New York, Feb. 17.-Fighting for
his life with all the power Of his con-
stitution, Enrico Caruso, world famous
dramatic tenor. remained conscious
and cheerful Thursday while music
lovers the world over hoped and prayed
that death might not yet hush forever
the golden voice.
1t seemed Thursday night, 4S hours
after Caruso began waging battle
against severe heart attack follow
ing pleurisy. that he would be VIC
torious. Attending physicians an
nounced improvement in his tempera-
t,lre and pulse beat and said his mind
was becoming clearer.
1t was mostly his virile stamina
and his determination not to die, .he
doctors thought, that enabled Caruso
to carry on his fight and seemingly
to begin improving.
From every land the wireless flashed
messages of hope and cheer to his
hotel suite.

Berlin. Feb. 17.-Judging from the

ing, measures looking to the breaking
up of the empire will come into force" !"

Solution Without Aid
of Legislation, Ayers.

st. Paul, Feb. 17.-Elimina-
ton Of "short selling" Of grain
would, "in my best judgment,
destroy the present ready
market for grain," julius H.
Barnes, of Duluth, Mimi, de-
clared late Thursday when he
appeared before the Minnesota
senate's committee on ag1i-
culture, which is considering a
bill to prohibit trading in grain
futures.
Mr.. Barnes said that to wipe out en-
tirely the futures hedging system
would be>to destroy the fabric which
the sponsors Of the bill aim to remedy"
The American system of marketing
grain, he asserted, despite defects. ''is
the greatest ever devised in this or
any other country"
Minimizes Bad Features
He minimized the effect of "obiac-
tionable" features of the system, ad-
mitting futures trading to be one of
them. He contended that these de-
fects were rapidly being eliminated by
a more enlightened business con-
science" and urged that the grain trade
of the country with its great record
OF service. be permitted to work out
its own problem"
The farmer, he told the committee.
should not be forced, through financial
considerations, to make this grain at
time and at price against his
better judgment" Mr. Barnes ex-
pressed the opinion that the grain busi-
nes would work out ian acceptable
solution of this problem of the pro-
ducer. He suggested system of ne
gotiable storage tickets. guaranteed by
large indemnity company, which
would give the farmers adequate bor-
rowing power and place him, so far
as credit facilities are concerned, he
said, on par with the merchant who
buys the grain.
FIXTURES" Trading Insurance
Replying to a question, Mr. Barnes
said he thought the idea would be put
into operation at an early date and
that it would not require legislation

clared he regarded as an insurance
