After seeing what wonderful sue

had at Bismarck, Leith, Fargo and
other places in securing 'beautl1uj

Congressman Young is on his way
hack from Washington to help put the
eclipse on this new day order that has
cot into the system of the state like
q vile disease and caused more misery
than anything else. Mr.. Young is one
of our representatives in congress VINO
is not afraid of coming out in the open
and telling folks where he stands when
it means the integrity and credit OF
the state. Our congressman does not
believe in pussy footing but will go
out and talk to the people of the state
from now until the election trying to
set them right and to show them the
league program as now carried out
has been disastrous to them and to the
state.

Said one of the fellows who. is
working hard every day for a living
and pays quite few taxes: 1T is only
the rich fellows like the leaders and
organizers of the nonpartisan league
who are against the recall. Sure. The
minute the recall goes into effect that
minute the hanger-on OF the league
machine knows that in a very short
time he will get the blue envelope and
will have to go to work in real ana
materialistic manner-no public funds
to furnish him his living. That IS
what has been the matter with the
state-too many feeding from the pub
lie trough at the expense of the peo-
ple.

The encouraging news comes from
Washington to the effect that it the
railroad men go on strike President
Harding will keep the roads open just
the same. The dispatches do not say
whether he will take over the roads
or not-but you can rest assured he
will not STOP progress by writing ing
also made the statement that he will
keep the mail trains running which nc
is another comforting statement. The
railroad men at this time will be COM
hitting the greatest piece OF tooi Isl
ness if they go on strike now. The
country has several million idle men
to draw from now and among that
number are many ex-service men who
have had some railroad experience
across the seas. Time was during the

the country where to head IN at ana

For the first time since the battle
against Townleyism began in North
Dakota the final lap in the race for
votes finds the league bosses on the
defensive and the Independents with
better and stronger organization
than the administration forces. The

tiers in Fargo is being kept informed
as to the exact situation everywhere
Two hundred and fifty reports, from
every county in the state, received at

Of last week show that tremendous
change has taken place in every part
of the state. The general apathy
which at the beginning Of the cam

threatened to disrupt the morals of

DEMOCRATS NOT AIMING
TO ATTACK ARMS PARLEY
Bureau Director Says a
Previous Declaration by National
Committee Was Misapprehended.

The democratic national committee
is not planning an attack upon the
Harding Limitation of armaments con-
ference to be held here in November.
according to the latest article released
by Richard Linthicum, director of
publicity of the national committee
In statement made public today Mr..
Linthicum said. in part:
by misapprehending the meaning
of a news article sent out under my
signature as a part of my regular cor
respondence to the democratic daily
papers. certain papers have sought to
characterize it as an attack by the
democratic national committee upon
the forthcoming disarmament confer
ence. In view of the record OF the
democratic national committee, the
democratic party, democratic senator's
and congressman, and democratic
leaders everywhere, which has been
consistently and persistently in favor
of disarmament and world peace, this
charge is without justification. The
democratic party and it's national or
ganization and leadership is as firm
for disarmament as ever and is as anx-
ious for the success of the forthcom-
ing conference as Mr.. Harding. and
his party. No amount of hysteria nor
misunderstanding can change this

View of Chairman Donlin of
Building Trades Depart
ment, A. F. l.

! "Abide by the arbiters decision"
This is the stand Of the American
Federation of Labor's department of
the building trades in the Landis
award in Chicago. which reduced
wages in more than twoscore trades
of the building industry from 10 to
20 per cent.
Although organized labor feels that
the course taken in reducing wages
is not a wise one to stimulate IN
dustry. and although the stand is
that more harm than good Will come
from the award, Chairman Donlln
of the building trades department OF
the American Federation of Labor to-
day in an informal statement pro-
claimed that the only course left TO
be pursued by the trades anected Dy
the decreases in the award OF Judge
Landis is to abide by the dictum OF the
referee.
.'When a matter is referred to an
arbitrator for adjustment there is moth
ing left to do but stand by whatever
decision the referee makes, Mr. Doniln
said.
1--WE feel that the trades should ac-
cept the decision, although they and
We may not believe as confidently IN
the results accruing from such de-
cision as other parties
In fact. we believe that lowering
healthy practice to be followed in
any branch Of industry. Yet this is
what is done in the settlement OF the
dispute. Purchasing power is de-
creased through decreased wages.
We feel that the looked-for stimula-
ton in the building trades will not
necessarily follow such a decision.
But upon integrity of parties TAX
ing part in an arbitration depends the
entire structure of industrial peace:
We believe that labor should uphold
its reputation for integrity as far as
may lie within the human limitations
of its power"
Regarding other phases of the de-
cision nothing was said. 1t is known.
however, in labor circles, that the
portion decreeing that in event union
labor Is not available non-union la
Dor should be obtained Is viewed
with more or less distrust The labor
viewpoint is that an employer will
not exert himself to make a thorough
search for union labor. even though
he holds contract with labor, if
non-union labor may be secured.

IMPROVED CONDITIONS
Great Wheat Exports and Advance
of Cotton Price VIII Ease
Credit Situation.

Improved agricultural and indus
trial conditions are foreasted by Sec
retary Hoover as a certain result of
unprecedented exports of wheat dur
ing August. This movement of wheat,
he argues. should particularly ease
the credit situation through decreased
demands upon the War Finance Cor
poration for advances. According to
his reports wheat exports during the
past month amounted to 1886, 600
bushels, or about four times the
volume of any pre-war figures for the
month of August.
Exports of wheat to Europe have
been growing, he added. notwith-
standing that the crop in European
countries has been above normal,
while the crop in this country has
fallen below the average this year.
The failure of the potato crop in Eu-
rope. he explained, has forced the use
OF wheat products as substitute, and
TINS country, as n result, has been
called upon for additional supplies.
