Railroad union workmen. it Is said In
the daily press, have voted 80 to 80
per cent majorities for strike to pre-
vent the wage reductions ordered some
time ago by the Railroad Labor Board
from going into effect. Such action
just as winter is opening would cause
the shutting down Of nine tenths of all
industrial plants in this county: just
as cotton ie being shipped from every
siding in the south such action would
stop shipments and sound the death
note to the fine prosperity which seems
now coming 10 our doors, and would
make cotton worthless to producers

pend upon hourly movement iof cars to

People who are asked to cOntri-

should, as matter Of good business,
take pains to find out what kind of
a victory it is that they are asked
to help put across. So far no effort
has been made by any of the Off

themselves against the charges which

Nearly every human being has

Nearly every human being has
what is commonly known as a weak
spot. Confidence men are experts
in locating these spots. That, pre-
sumably, explains why the leaders
of the Nonpartisan League have had
in this state about one hundred i'm
ported experienced statesmen and
some OF them outright confidence
men, for the purpose of working
thousands of North Dakotas best
citizens into the notion of signing
checks, notes and agreements for
things that are not only worthless,
but which will cause serious finan-
cial embarrassment.
The means most commonly resort
ed to is a tickling of vanity and an
appeal to the natural human selfish
ness. Selfshness and vanity are
weak spots through which most any
of us can be reached if we are not
continuously on guard. Our preju-
dices and sympathies are other weak
spots. Confidence men agree with
us in our prejudices against anybody
and anything and they get US to sym.
pathize so heartily with the misfor
tunes of folks, who so far as we
know, may be mythical, that we are
willing to shell out to help some fel
low who is working only forty eigh
hours a week to draw more and worl
less even if the country children have
to go barefoot.
AS the result of the work of con
fidence men who have been directl,
or indirectly connected with the Non
partisan League many of North Da
kota's gray haired pioneers are nov
face to face with bankruptcy, which
to them, who have been honorable
and honest people, is disgrac,
which they will feel the weight o
for the rest of their days. Man,

who have helped to accumulate wha
