this matter, and move 1t, to congratulate the parties, directly interested, and the public, most Vltally and profoundly in tereSted, on thlS return to industrial peace, triumph of the reign of law and the escape from this national disaster. But at this time, and while the mat ter Is intensely before the minds of all, the board deems 1t expcdicnt and proper to make its rulings and position on some of the points involved so clear that no ground for any misunderstanding can hereafter exist.
 First-When any change of wages contracts or rules, previously in effect, are contemplated or proposed by either party, conference must had be had as directed by the Transportation act and by rules or decision of procedure pro- mulgated by the board, and where agree nents are not reached the dispute must be brought before this board, and no lzcd by the board.
 Sccond-Thc ordcringt or the autho- rizing of the strike by the organization of employees of parties hereto was a violation of Decision No. 147 of this board, but said strike order having been withdrawn 1t IS not now necessary for the board to take any further steps in the matter.
 The board now desires to point out that such overt acts by either party. tending to and threatening a tie-up of transportation lines, the peaceful I1ninter- ruptcd operation of which are so absO- Iutely necessary to the peace, prosperity, and safety of the entire people, are in themselves, even when they do not cu1- rn1nate in a stOppage of traffic. a cause and source of great injury and damage
 The board further points out for the consideration of employees interested that when such action does result in a strike the organization so acting has forfeited its rights and the rights of it's members in and to the provisions and benefits of all contracts heretofore existing. and the employees so striking have voluntarily re- moved themselves from the classes en- titled to appeal to this board for relief and protection.

Sioux Falls
Recall Election

Sioux Falls, April 16.-Next Tues
day citizens of this city will cast their
ballots for one of two candidates in
the mayoralty race. A recall was or
dered some time ago following the
circulation of a petition charging
Mayor George w. Burnside with "ex-
travagance, partiality in taxation and
general incompetency." His term
would have expired in three years,
at which time he would have COM
pleted his 21st year as mayor of this
city. His opponent is Roy B. Marker
attorney The other issue at stake is
the three-cornered race between John
Mundt, incumbent, Ellis Smith and
C. Linhart, the latter two engineers,
for city water commissioner. Com
missioner Mundt's term soon will ex-
pire.

PLAN FOR BONUS
SOON COMPLETE
BOARD ADJOURNS TO MEET
AGAIN WITHIN THE MONTH
TO ASSEMBLE DATA.

Pierre, April 16-Preliminary de-
plan adopted for the distribution of
the state bonus money TO approx
mately 10000 former South Dakota
service men, at the first meeting of
the bonus board which adjourned
Wednesday night The board will re-
assemble within the month or az
soon as certain date regarding the
workings OF bonus boards in other
states has been obtained. AT least
one members of the board will go to
st Paul, Minnesota and Madison.
Wisconsin, to learn the mistakes
made by those states in the distribu-
ton of their bonuses in order that
South Dakota may profit by their ex-
perience.
Officers of the bonus board will
be established, it was decided, in the
representatives chamber of the state
house and all business including the
payment of the money will be trans
acted from there Office furniture
used by the state council of defense
will be brought from Huron for the
use of the new department until its
work is completed. Everything will
be put in readiness for the actual
distribution of the money, but until
the bonds are sold, the board believ-
es it will be necessary to employ only
one or two stenographers.
When the money is obtained the
board hopes to handle its business
with a force not to exceed 40 per-
sons, although board members de-
clare other states have found it nee
essary to employ as many as 200 or
$50. Accepting the preferred assist
ance of the American Legion and
Spanish American War organizations
in obtaining records of the various
men will save the state approximate
ly $25, 900 and will greatly aid in re-
ducing the personnel of the clerical
organization, the board believes.
The matter of printed forms
which will be necessary in the sew
eral phases of the work was discus
sed and disposed of and it is hoped
to have the copy of these in the
hands of the printers within a few
days.
Before the next meeting the board
hopes to open negotiations for the
sale of the bonds although no defin-
ite action will be taken for some
time.

Numerous Fires
On The Prairies

Pierre, April 16.-Prairie fires
have been prevalent over the state
the past week, one of the most ex-
tensive being in Perkins county a
short distance south of Lennon.
This fire burned over a tract about
10 miles long and several miles in
width, and beside the prairie grass.
burned numerous stacks and several
small buildings. Other fires have
been reported from Stanley county
where large tract was burned over
and a number of stacks of hay were
destroyed, but all buildings in the
line of the fire were saved.
Other fires are reported from
Faux, Potter and Sully counties, and
while these burned over considerable
ground the loss was principally that
of the grass on the prairie although
a few stacks of hay were in the line
of some of these fires, and were des-
troyed. Lyman county also reports
trouble from that source, the fires
being reported to have been set by
sparks. from railway engines.

Artesian Plans For
New City Hall

Atesian, April 16.-More adequate
fire protection for this place will be
provided with the installation of the
new power pump purchased by the
city council at it's last meeting.
The pump, which will be driven by
a 40-horsepower electric motor, will
have a capacity to deliver $50 gal
Ions of water per minute at 120
pounds pressure. Water will be
pumped from a cement storage tank
which has a capacity of $4,000 gal
Ions.

STOCKMEVM MAKE
GREAT RECORD
SHOWN THAT WESTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA ASSOCIATION HAS
SAVED MILLIONS FOR MEM
BERS.

Rapid City, April 16.-The annual
report of Frank NJ. Stewart, secre-
tary, made at the annual meeting of
the Western South Dakota Stock
Growers association, held in Rapid
City this week shows that the asso-
citation has accomplished wonders for
it's members during the period it has
been in existence.
1t was shown that up to the end OF
1920 the representatives of the asso-
citation at Chicago and Omaha alone
recovered 245,592 stray cattle for
members of the association, the net
proceeds from these aggregating
S1l, $40, ,555.34 The report states
that the records Of Sioux City, st
Paul and other terminal stock ship
ping points have never been compil-
ed. but that estimates made add ST.
000,00 to the valuation of the stray
animals recovered by agents of the
association. In many instances cat
tie thus recovered had been stolen
and shipped by cattle ''rustlers."
All of this beneficial work for the
members of the association, the re-
port shows, had been accomplished on
SIS annual due basis and an assess
ment of three cents per head on cat
tie from date of organization until
1912 and five cents per head since
that date The report further shows
that at the close of 1920 the associa-
ton had 543 members-the great
est number for many years.
The report sets forth that it is con-
servatively estimated that owing to
depleted herds by reason of enforced
liquidation, the association may lose
25 per cent of its membership, and
SO per cent of the number of cattle
listed for assessment loss of fully
$4,000.
A campaign will be inaugurated at
once to secure new members to make
up at least a part of the losses ex-
pected in the membership of the as
sociation.

the martyr-patie will be assured
of the best medical care. The twelve
doughboys curled their lips at the
suggestion of death. They saw too
much of that in "Poppyland. What
they are anxious for is the $1,000,
and to help the kiddies who perish
from scarlet fever.

JACK DEMPSEY
IN A BERDEEN
SAYS FIGHT Is LIKELY TO LAST
II ROUNDS.

| Aberdeen, April 16.--Jack Demp-
sey, worlds champion heavyweight
| fighter, stopped in Aberdeen en- route
10 New York where he will start
training for the Carpenter bout
Il am feeling fit" Dempsey said,
'and am in condition for a fight to-
day. OF course, I'm going to put in
of training with such men as Ja-
maica Kid, Bill Tate, and others. 1
am going to train in New Jersey but
| am not sure just where until l hold
conference with my manager.
This dope about it being a four
to be a hard fight and a 12-round
fight with a man like that generally
means a 12-round fight. If I take
the X. o. all right; If he takes ID SO
much the better. am not so terri
bly, confident.
Carpenter has a world of expert
ence, is a tough kid and is going to
work hard. OF course, I'm going in
TO win and if can I'll be tickled to
death and if 1 can't it will be because
he is a better man"
When asked as to his preference OF
sites Dempsey said:
New Jersey suits me fine. I'd
rather live in the west but / like to
fight in the east. l was born and
raised out west and that probably ac-
counts for my liking it. Rickard
turned down a 100000 offer on a
western site -
Dempsey will not stop in Mime
apolis or Chicago but will go direct
10 New York where he meets Tex
Rickard TO complete arrangements.

{ n NDING Of
WAGE PACTS
EXECUTIVES AND labor LEAD
ERS AGREE DECISION OF
BOARD WILL BE BENEFIT

Chicago, April 16.-Both railroad
executives and labor leaders today
declared the decision of the railroad
labor board abrogating the national
agreements would materially ad-
vance the effort to arrive at an agree
ment satisfactory to all parties. The
board directed individual roads and
their employees to confer and agree
upon new working rules by July l..
Labor representatives said many of
the 16 basic principles laid down in
the boards decision to govern the
conferences on new working agree
ments especially the eight-hour day
and the right of the employees to or
ganize and select their own represen-
tatlves include principles they have
been fighting for. Railway execu-
tives said that the decision recogniz-
ed their contation that many of the
rules should not have national appli-
cation.
The decision affects members Of
is unions including all those affiliat-
ed with the railway department of
the American Federation of Labor.
The decision came just before the
terms of three members of the board
expired at midnight last night. These
men, appointed for one year when
the board was organized, are Henry
Hunt, Cincinnati, one of the repre-
sentaIlves of the general public: w
l.. Park, Chicago, railway represen-
tatlve, ana ] ] Forester. Washing
ton. d c., one OF the labor members.
Their successors have not been ap-
pointed
Last nights decision had thing
TO do with the various wage confer
ences which have been instituted by
various railroads within the last few
weeks.
The sixteen principles outlined by
the board were drawn up by Henry
7. Hunt of the public group and up
held the right of the employees to
organize for lawful purposes, the
right of employees to negotiate thru
their own representatives, the right
eight hour day. 1t was specified that
eight hours work must be given for
eight hours pay
Espionage should not be practiced
by either side, the devcision said, and
employees representatives should
have the right to make an agreement
applying to all employees in the
craft or class of the representatives
The board directed that the confer
ences keep the board informed of
final agreements and disagreements
TO the end that the board may know
prior to July 1, what portion of the
dispute has been decided" While
placing the chief responsibility for
drawing up new set of working
rules to the parties involved, the
board did not say what part the
rules agreed on in conferences and
the rule promulgated by the board
would play in forming a new nation
al code.
