GARFIELD GIVES
WORD OF PRAISE
Qualified Approval of Calder Bill
Some Agency Needed

Ouallfled Approval OF (aider Dill
Some Agency Needed
! Washington, Feb. 3.-Qualified
approval of provisions of the Calder
coal regulation bill was given by DR..
Harry A. Garfield, former federal
fuel administration in testimony to-
day before the senate manufactures
committee. Some governmental
force acting in the interests of the
public at large must be created
eventually, he said, for industries
producing prime necessities of
civilization where capital and labor
are both highly organized.
DR.. Garfield suggested, however,
modification of the provisions of
the bill for price fixing and control
of coal distribution in emergency so
that these powers might be exer-
cised only by the president acting
through a cabinet member.
Proposals for official collection
and publication of production cost
and selling prices statistics in the
industry, DR.. Garfield heartily IA
vored. He also suggested definite
! amendments to accomplish the re-
suits advocated.
Senator Reed, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, during cross examination de-
manded if DR.. Garfield thought the
power to fix wages, involved in fix
ing prices of coal, could or should be
delegated to amy one man, presi-
dent or not.''
"We can better afford to do
that" DR.. Garfield responded, than
to let the industry fix prices as it is
doing today
Coal, "a basic necessity" he add !
ed, "is impressed with a public use
and labor and capital engaged in it's
production is therefore impressed
with a public duty
Discussing high prices of coal en-
countered during 1920, DR.. Garfield
declared that somewhere between
operators and\ wholesalers lies the
responsibility for maintenance of
prices over and above the increased
cost of production and the increased
cost of labor"

P PRODUCTION IN
BENEFIT TO j. s.
WESTERN STATES
Solicitor Says it is Economically
Better For Country

Washington, Aug. 20.-Abandonment
Of western farms now should not be
compared with abandonment a few
years ago in New England states, John
e. Benton, solicitor for various state
railroad commissions, testified today
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in the hearing on rates on
grain and hay. New England farm
ers had been able barely to live on
the worked-out land by producing
practically everything they needed and
little else when they left their farms
for the west, Mr.. Benton said. If con-
ditions forced western farmers to a
bare living basis, he added, the coun-
try will suffer and there will be loss
to the railroads of great volume OF
traffic. He attributed present con-
ditions in large measure to high
freight rates.
The comparison of the abandonment
of New England farms and those in
the west was injected into the hearing
by Commissioner Esch, who asked
whether the growing of the bulk Of
the agricultural products in the ter
ritories remote from the consuming
population was not being done in this
! country at great waste Of trans
portation." Mr.. Benton said the vast
production of the waste involving even
as it does long transportation has
proven to be the best from an econ
Omic standpoint

Big SMUGGLING
SCHEME SCENTED
Canadians Plan to Ship in $780,.
900 Worth of Liquor

Duluth, Aug. 2O.-A plot to smug-
gle more than 100000 worth of liquor
into the United States by way Of
Rainey river and Baudette is being
engineered by Winnipeg shippers, ac-
cording to word received at the United
States customs office here today.
Warning has been sent to officials
along the border to use every pre-
caution to prevent the carrying out Of
the alleged plot. The shipments, said
to consist of five \carloads Of beer,
whiskey, alcohol and brandy is now at
Rainey river, and is being guarded
by several men.
Owners of the liquor, it is said,
made no secret of the fact that it is
intended for shipment into the United
States. In fact when it was shipped
by the Canadian authorities the own
ers are said to have stated that the
consignment was presented for de-
portation.

WON'T BARGAIN
FOR BOND SALE
Officials Comment on Report
From Toronto Convention

State officials expressed much in
terest in telegraphic dispatch from
Toronto, Canada, stating that the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, hold
ing an international convention, had
taken up the advisability of support
ing the state of North Dakota by the
investment Of union funds in bonds
and that a committee was to come to
North Dakota to promise support in
return for the enactment of labor
legislation.
Governor Frazier said that he
thought perhaps the wrong idea had
been gained from the convention. He
said that many unions which had pur-
chased bonds had done so because of
the labor legislation previously enact
ed, but he did not think the union
would propose any bargain as to f.l-
ture legislation.
S. S. Mcdonald, who has been in
Quebec at the typographical conyen-
/ tion, was to go before the carmen with
presidents of labor federations of four
other states and urge the sale of
bonds, Attorney General Lemke said

Belgrade, Aug. 20.-King Peter, who
died recently, has served as ruler of
Serbia since 1903. His election to the
throne followed the murder of King
Alexander, and he entered Belgrade
and took Office just 44 years after he
had left the city with his father, who
had ben deposed as prince of Serbia.
During the World War King Peter
took the field at the head of his army,
on the side of the allies.
In the early days, when his coun-
try was overrun with Teutons, he fled
in an oxcart
In 1919, he returned to Belgrade in
failing health. The affairs of state
and court were turned over to his
son, Prince Alexander, and the king
was removed to a quiet retreat near
Athens, Greece.
Late in 1920, he was brought back
to Belgrade an invalid, to meet his
wish that he might die on his native
soil
He avoided society and kept aloof
from all court and public functions.

agreement on contested sections Of
the anti-beer bill was reached today

each being retained in the compro-
mise which would require warrants
for search of homes but not for other
property, including automobiles.
