I'VE come here not to tear down.
but to build up, MIR. Murray said In
presenting his plan on behalf of the
mine workers. I'VE are not destruc-
tive, but constructive. If our proposal,
our plan, Is not good. we have no ulti-
matum to serve on the President of
the United States, this committee or
anybody else, but we challenge the
operators to submit better plan"
Mr. Murray said thte operators har-
Ing stated in their memorial to the
President that tthey would not meet
Representatives of the United Mine
workers under any conditions appa-
| rentiy meant they would settle the
controversy in no other way than on
their own terms
Mr.. Murray also attacked Judge
Gary. who, he said. had fostered the

Mr.. Walsh declared that representa-
tives of the operators felt secure
even to the point of numbering wit
resses who had appeared before the
Senate committee. This is not a
question Of who fired the first shot
in the whole trouble" he said. 1T is

At this point T. T. Einson, speaking
for the Williamson operators, entered
an emphatic denial of all of Walsh's
statements and told the committee
| that testimony which the operators
! would submit would prove the attor-
ney's statements to be without a

AMERICAN LEGION
Notes AND news

More than $50 World War Veter-
ans hold seats is the legislatures in
the various states, while in Congress
twenty-six men who sit in the House
of Representatives wore the uniform
OF Uncle Sam three years ago. Other
former service men now helping to
rule American are Edwin DENLY,
secretary of the navy, Theodore Ro-
osevelt, asst. sec'y of the navy,
Thomas w. Miller, alien property
custodian, and j. Wainwright, asst.
sec'y of war.
What is the difference between the
ex-soldier who is a Legion member
and the one who is not? 1t is that
of one of the strongest and most in
f1uencial organizations in America.
An organization of liver a million
members. He has done his part to-
ward the financial success of his
post. He will receive the American
Legion Weekly. He takes pride in
being numbered among those who
have promptly met an obligation.
He shows the right spirit of good
fellowship by attending meetings
regularly, and enjoys his social hour
with his buddies. The Post will
gladly and unselfishly assist him in
time of need. He is ''has paid"
member.
The other fellow is not interested
in an organization of which he
knows he ought to be a member.
From appearances the Legion cam
paign for care of the disabled, means
nothing to him. He is out of it.
The Legion fights for adjusted COM
pensation for him as we'll as for its
members. This he is willing to ac-
cept but he does not appreciate it
enough to be member. The Le-
gion will not be any bigger or better
at the end of this year because of
his support. The Legion Post will
assist him in time of need, but ma
turally not SO willingly, as the boost
ing active paid-up member. Maybe
he will snap out of it in time. But
for the present, che is a hasn't
paid. Come in and JOIN us. Get
square today. ~ n
! The National Headquarters has is-
sued bulletin calling attention to

the European battlef1elds where they
fell. Contributions from the pub

"; \, FARRIS MEETS
DEATH IN RUNAWAY

"Hent" Farris, as he was familiar
ly known to his many friends in this
community died at his home at Plen-
tywood, on the morning of April
18th, death being due to injuries re-
ceived in a runaway several days be-
fore.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Farris
hauled a load of refuse to the dump
ground and on returning and on re-
turning the wagon struck something
which caused one of the dump boards
to slide forward and strike one of
the horses. This frightened the
team and they started to run. In
the course of their fight the hind
wheels of the wagon struck an old
concrete foundation, broke the reach
pole, and left Mr.. Farris riding the
front bolster and when one of the
lines broke, he was thrown off and
struck one of the wheels. Witnesses
to the accident hurried to his as
sistance and found him on his hands
and knees attempting to get to his
feet. He was carried home and on
examination the physicians found
that five ribs were broken and that
he was injured internally. Altho
suffering great pain at times, he re-
mained conscious until shortly be-
fore his death, which occurred at
about daybreak Saturday morning.
Funeral services were held at the
home and the remains were brought
to Hope Tuesday and taken to the
Hope Cemetery where short service
was conducted by the Reverend Geo.
BRISTOL, of the Methodist Church.
William Henderson Farris was
born at Steuben, Wis, on November
22nd, 1862. On Feb. 22nd, 1887,
he was married to Elizabeth H. Jones
and came to North Dakota with his
bride shortly afterwards and located
on homestead, near Hope. -Four
children were born 70 them, two Of
VII l.. survive their farther.
In the fall of 1915 he moved to
Montana and made his home at West
by until last.=fall. when he moved to
Plentywood..
Besides his wife and sons, Robert
E., of Plentywood, and Henry, of
Juanita, he is survived by three
brothers and sister, Peter and John
of Steuben, Wis, Henry, of Tagus,
and Mrs. Fannie Jenkins, of Velva.
The heartfelt sympathy of the
community is extended to the family
in their time of sorrow.
