the smalles t school district in North
Dakota are considered gilt edged
security, why not the bonds of North
Dakota. Another point they are
trying to make. that the loans are
insecure, that is something that
might be open to dispute if the
audit had not shown that they are
we'll distributed over the state and
while there may be more money in
one place than another, simply shows
that more money was needed in that
part than the other. The charge
than Cathro has shown favori ii SIN
has no foundation whatever, and
those loans are as safe as other bank
loans made from all ever the state.
Another fatal mistake they are max
ing is this; they have put the inquiry
in the nands of lawyers who
don't know how books are kept and
find themselves up in a tree and
Cathro has to pull them down and
set right every little while the whole
proceedings, nothing but a farce in
the hands of the |. V. A. inquirers.
The l. V. A. audit shows that the
Band of North Dakota made over
one hundred and seventy thousand
dollars in little over wear and
that made the /. " A. leaders mad
clear through. They had preached
the bank as failure and they were
not going to stand for such tre-
m enduous success. No sir! Hence
all this attempt to call white black
and so on. No reasonable man will
expect the Building Association to
give clear account of the work at
this time as there are so many houses
in erection and it is impossible to
figure the cost until they are finish
ed. But what seems to get on the
nerves of the l. V. A. leaders is
that Bill Lemke has roof over bis
head instead of having to dig into
hill for dwelling place. but then
you can't please everybody.
The mill has demonstrated this
much that even if it run little
behind on account Of not being
hedged on futures OH wheat such as
are the bigger mills with more ex.
perience. The people of North
Dakota can look forward to good
profit on that business. Of one
thing we are certain that by the
time those fool lawyers get through
with Cathro and the Industrial
Commission they will have demon.
strated the need and the practability
of the Bank and the other industries
as nothing else could have done it.
Those l. V. A. leaders are like the
animal that when it can't kill its
prey will turn around and bite it's
own tail with fatal effect.

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Farmers Press :

Editor Farmers Press -
In their frantic efforts to dfscredit
the Bank of North Dakota, the l. v.
A. leaders resort to methods that are
SO foolish that they are almost
laughabIe. They try to preach that
the bank was started on wind. Now
any man with common sense knows
when any political division from the
smallest school district of the Uuited
States issues bonds is because they
have not got the cash and simply
use their credit. This is well known
and everybody knows it but the

CHILEAN DISPUTE
WORRIES LEAGUE
South American Problem
Keeps Mediators at Work
All Night.

GENEVA, Sept. 6.-Today's ses-
sion Of the league Of nations as
sembly resolved itself into long
hours Of political jockeying in an
attempt to stave off action by the
South American delegates which
might have brought about a rup-
ture Of their relations with the
league.
The assembly once more post
poned discussion of the agenda,
taking up routine matters in order
to permit the South American dis
putants to patch up their difficulties
outside the general esssions.
Mediators, including Lord Robert
Cecil. who was exceptionally active.
worked throughout the night to
reconcile the Chilean Bolivian diff
culties. but without success. There
are still no signs Of an agreement.
Aramayo, head of the Bolivian
delegation, in an Interview, de-
clared that while hfs country was
anxious to avert the present crisis
in it's connection with the league,
1T had. absolutely determined not to
withdraw "the Legitimate request
that league revise the Chilean
treaty of 1904.
We have absolute instructions
from our government to maintain
our stand" he declared.

Penn. RAILROAD
DEFIES LABOR
BOARDS ORDER
Officials Refuse to Call
New Election by Shop
Employees.

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad today notified the
United States Railroad Labor Board
that it would not obey the order
to meet Federated Shop craft Of
ficials to draw up a new working
rule agreement
Notice was given in a statement
by Elisha Lee. vice president of the
Eastern Region
In effect. the statement puts the
Pennsylvania system in defiance Of
the rail labor board and gives no.
tice that 1t will maintain its open
shop" policy in so far as the selec-
tion of employe representatives to
meet the executives on labor ques-
tions is concerned.
Cannot Enforce Order.
The board will consider this de-
velopment at an executive session
tomorrow, it was declared. Beyond
the officials of the rail-
road. the board has no authority to
act when one of its orders is vio-
lated. as is openly done in this case.
Union officials declared that they
would wait for the board meeting
before making any announcement of
their Intentions.
The contention is the outgrowth
Of a decision in which the boaro
ruled that the Pennsylvania must
meet the officers of the system fed
GRAFTON No. 30 in electing employe
for a conference to
pass on working rules because the
of its shop employees were
members of that organization.
1t declared the election held by
the carrier disenfranckised most of
the union employees and ordered an
other election. The Pennsylvania
then gave notice that it would not
obey this order, but later President
Samuel Rea asked for more time to
consider the problem.
Today's decision fatty declares
that such course we do not think
we can honorably pursue" and de-
clares that the board has exceeded
It's authority by "gratuitous and
interference"
Our differences with the Labor
Board arise out of the fact that while
Congress plainly created Il as a
board OF mediation to. act in dis
putes which railroad managers ana
railroad employees were unable to
settle between themselves, the board
has gone far beyond that scope and
assumed very largely the role of
an administrative or managerial
body with respect to the labor af-
fairs Of the RAILROADS." It was
stated.

WASHINGTON MAN
WITNESSED Mine
FIGHT FROM AIR
Tells How Gas Dropped
From Plane Killed
Seven Invaders.

An aeroplane flight over the
troubled area OF Logan County. dur
ing which chlorine gas in quart bot
ties was dropped on the invading
miners, the opportunity TO witness
the death Of seven miners who tried
.I charge a machine gun and the
death Of two snipers plucked from
a tree by rifle fire.
Such was the experience Of George
wise. OF 34l7 Lowell street north
west, who returned from Logan, w.
Va, with fret hand information on
the recent disturbance Wise, who
was formerly in the United States
Air Service. was in Logan on a
three-day business trip when he
witnessed the fighting.
Defenders Bought Planes.
The Logan defenders, composed Of
business men of that place and
members of the State consta bulary
Of Logan, had purchased three aero
planes fro reconnaissance and IL
was in one Of these planes that
Wise used in his flight over the
troubles area.
The defenders, according to
Wise. had positions on a mountain
top. While the invading miners were
below. Here he saw the seven in
vading miners moved down when
they tried to charge a machine
gun. He was also on the scene
when two snipers were plucked by
rifle fire.
May Renew Hostihtie.L
With the arrival Of the Federal
troops, residents OF Loan declared
that Harding had saved Logan"
Since the arrival Of the troops
there hes been little action, but the
concensus of opinion among resi-
dents OF the West Virginia town Is
that hostilities will be resumed
when the troops are withdrawn.
Accordin to Wise, the mines in
Logan are non-union and the
miners OF that place are satisfied
with conditions. the mines having
been worked about seventeen years
without a shutdown
Trying TO Form Union.
On the other hand. a faction Is
trying to organize a union in Logan
County, and the residetn Logan
miners are reticent to organize
with the result that trouble started
beween he wo facions.
Tentative plans of teh Logan
County miners will bring higher

lowin the withdrawal of the Fed

FOR TWO ISLANDS

against each other for the pur-
chase of San Felix and San AM
brosia islands from Chile, each
desiring them for "coallng sta
tiOns.o
The government II making an
effort to avoid publicity I'm the
matter until II makes q decision,
but n well informed source re-
ports that the United States is
offering 800, 200 900 for the two
islands. The American offer
appears to he excessive, consld-
ering the smallness OF the
islands, which are close to CO.
quimbo, but this Is explained
by the fact that they offer
naval domination of this part Of
the Pacific.
1t Ii also reported that Japan
made an offer for the Easter
islands when II was learned that
the United States WINS negotiate
Ing for their purchase.
Japan's efforts to buy the,
islands for which the United
States Is negotiating puts the
Chilean government in . diff
cult situation, since n decision
means choosing whether It's best
interests are In keeping close to
the United States or to Japan,
ms 1t is believed unlikely that
either will buy the islands un-
less assured that the other
group will not be sold to its
competitor.
