UNITED e, ACTION NEED

Proposal for a mass meeting to be
held in. Bismarck on the night Of
August 80 at which possibilities Of
the Ignite industry in western North
Dakota will be discussed and plans
suggested for its development was
voiced by Stanley Washburn, pres
ident Of the newly formed North Da-
kota Ignite Coal Operators Associ;
alton, in Bismarck today. ! ,,as +r:e Y !.
After discussing his proposal Mr..
Washburn was urged hwy many citi-
zens to call the meeting. He tan-
nounced postponement Of the Ignite
operators meeting to Aug. 80 and
called mass meeting for that night.
Citizens of Mandan, Bismarck Ha1d
other towns in western North Da-
kota, state and county officials and
others interested in the development
of North Dakota will be invited to
the meeting. 8
Governor Nestos will preside at the
meeting. Dean Babcock and others
are expected to discuss Ignite coal,
its uses and its possibilities. 1t il
planned to make the meeting devoid
of technical discussions and interest
ing to all who attend.
The Ignite industry is in its in
fancy and holds forth the greatest
single possibility of industrial de-
velopment in North Dakota, Mr..
sWashburn believes. I
Railroads operating in the North
west are taking hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars out of North Da-
kota. and spending it in Illinois and
other states for coal when they can
burn Ignite more cheaply, Mr.. Wash
burn declares. Consumption of lig-
mite by the railroads is cited by him
as one Of the great possibilities of
development Of the. great Ignite
fields of the state. ~ '%'t'1
Speaking as an outsider-Mr.
Washburn's home is in the east-he
declares that the value of the Ignite
coal fields have not been appreciated.
United action by. citizens of the
state, an organized campaign to Gre
ate vast market for Ignite coal in
the Northwest are prime needs OF
the industry, he declares.

Cleveland, Aug. Is. - (By
the Associated Press)-Both
operators and miners ratified
an agreement to bring about
part settlement of the soft
coal strike. Formal signing of
the agreement went over until
a joint conference this after
noon.
Fundamental change in the
unions system of collective
bargaining was brought about
by the scale drafted here. The
retention of the central COM
petitive field, comprising
western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, as the
basis for negotiating a con-
tract was lost, and in it's place
a reorganized conference, rep
resenting scattered mines in
six states was set up. This
change was the mai,! loss Of
the miners organization de-
mands. Their demand for a
six-hour day, five-day week
was never pressed. The prin-
cipal demand they gained was
that against any reduction of
wages.
Break in goth Week
The break in the strike
came in it's twentieth week.
Approximately $50 men, soft
coal miners, Joined the walk
out last April /, as did $4,000
anthracite workers. Thestrike
settled soon after April l into
a stalmate, with the only par
ticular. activity being in the
non-union central Pennsylva-
MIA field where thousands en-
listed in the walkout.
Little violence marked the
strike. The outstanding ex-
ception was at Herrin, ILL.,,
where more than two score
non-union workers were killed
in June. In general, the strike
became a vacation for the
miners.
Same Wage Scale.
In brief the settlement provides
that the miners shall be returned to
work at the same scale of wages
that were in effect when they went on
strike; the new contract is to con-
tinue in force until next April l; the
agreement also provides for appoint
ment of an advisory fact-fnding COM
mission, to consider settlement Of
disputes in the coal industry.
The settlement came after week
spent in marking time here by oper-
ators and miners. Finally, the show
down on the issue of compulsory ar
bitration came, resulting in three big
operators withdrawing from the con-
ference when President Lewis refus-
ed to accede to the demand. Then the
conference reorganized and threw the
doors open to all soft coal operators.
A quick agreement in principles fol-
lowed, with operators controlling pro-
duction of sixty million tons an
nually committed to its adoption.
The operators in the meeting have
mines in Ohio, Wes Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Illinois, and Mich
igan. Orders went forward from
these operators here today to their
bosses, back home, to get ready to
speed up coal production. Miners,
too, were confident that an early re-
sumption of work at scattered mines
would result in other operators hur-
rying their acceptance to the agree
ment.
Soft coal operators participating in
conference with miners on part set
.lement of the coal strike announced
;oday through their spokesman, T. X.
Maher of Cleveland, that they would +.
sign the scale that was agreed on IL
principle last night.
The operators decision was reached

The announcement. came
after the President had con-
ferred on the strike situation
with his cabinet and with hlead-
ers IN congress and after rail-
road union labor organizations
had made public their rejec-
tion of the Presidents last
settlement proposal together
with the statement that chiefs
of the non-striking unions
planned to continue their ef-
forts at mediation of the rail
controversy.
The administration spokes-
man who made known the

vancing any further PROPOSE

railroad strike, other than
those which have already

The impression prevailed
among the Presidents .advis-
ers that he would in his state
ment to congress and through
congress to the country make
no suggestions as to legisla-
ton.

Washington, Aug. l5.-Presi-
dent Harding having abandoned
all efforts at mediation of the rail
strike was declared today by his
advisers to have virtually decid-
ed to inform the railroad execu-
tives of the country that in the
operation of trains they will be
given the full protection and aid
of the government.
The president it was stated
was determined that the only
course the government now could
pursue was the path it followed
in the coal strike-cxtensiOn of
an invitati ion to the employers to
operate their properties and the
federal government with the CO.
operation of the states would
stand behind them in their ef-
forts SO far as they are directed
to serving the public.
Consideration IS being given by
the president, it was asserted to
the proposition Of going before
congress within the next few
days with a comprehensive state
ment of the whole rail strike sit
uation, including the rebuffs that
have met the governments at
tempts at settlef.ent. @
, This statement IL made, it was
said, would include no. sugges-.
tions as to legislation, but de-
signed to place before congress
and the country the facts in the
situation as viewed by the gov
ernment.
The president was described
by one of his advisers as nav
ing his back up" and fully con-
vinced that nothing further
could be done through negotia-
tiOn.
Endeavors at meditation, how
ever, were continued today by
the leaders of the brotherhoods
of railroad operating employees
and of the other railroad labor
organizations whose members
have not been called out on
strike. ...
Leaders of the railroad labor
organizations today made public
the rejection of President Har-
ding's final offer for settlement
of the national strike of shop
craftsmen but declared that At
tennis to mediate the difficulty
by direct dealings between rail-
road executives and heads OF the
four brotherhoods were still In
progress.

ARBUCKLE Gets
WELL UNDER WAY
lRy The Associated Press,

of testimony in the second man
slaughter trial of Roscoe Arbuckle
got well under way here today.
Three witnesses were examined at
the single session of court held.
Leo Friedman, assistant district
attorney, made the opening state
ment for the prosecution, outlining
evidence whereby it hopes to prove
that Miss Virginia Rape died of
injuries received at Arbuckles
hands at a party he gave in his
rooms in the Hotel st. Francis
here last September.
The outstanding feature OF to-
days proceedings was the submls"
sion to the court of q report pre-
pared by Doctors William Ophuls,
q. Y. Rusk and d. M. Erwin. This
report was used at the first trial
of Arbuckle, which resulted In a
jury disagreement. Tho doctors,
named by Judge Harold Louder
back for the purpose, examined or
CANS of Miss Rape to determine
il there was any evidence of weak
ness in them. The report said
there was none and following its
reading to the new jury the doc
tors substantiated it with verbal
testimony.
DR.. Ophuls said there were many
inflammations in one Of the or
gans but asserted they were COM
mon among women.

WHY WOMEN GET

Are not women naturally as
light-hearted, brave and hopeful as

ans organism is essentially differ

more sensitive and more eXacting.
Women in delicate health are more
dependent, more nervous, more ir-

q woman develops nervousness,
sleeplessness, backaches. head
aches, dragging down pains and
melancholia she should lose no

COUNTRY CLUB ELECTS prayer
PRESIDENT; MAY enlarge Dance
FLOOR AND ADD tennis COURT
Stockholders at Annual Meeting Decide to
Raise Dues to $50 Year; Expansion in Ac-
tivities and Plant to Justify Boost; New
Directors Chosen; P. F. McCanna Honored.

Plans for the expansion of the
activities and plant of the Albu-
uueroue Country club were dis
cussed at the annual dinner and
business meeting of the stock
holders at the club house last
evening. In order that revenues
may meet operating expense, the
the stockholders by practically
unanimous vote decided to raise
the annual dues from $50 to $50
year.
Arthur Prayer was reelected
president of the organization.
Henry Coors, Jr., was elected vice
president; Grover Divine, secre-
tary, and Charles S. White, treas
urer. These selections were made
at directors meeting which
followed the stockholders ses-
sion.
DR.. G. s. McLandrcss, DIR. J..
! r. VanAtta and Roy Mcdonald
were chosen as directors for three
year terms. j. It. Mullen was
named a director for one year
| to fill the uneXpired term of p.
| Il. McCanna.
Following the dinner, Grover
Divine, secretary, presented his
annual report. He pointed out
| that the club had made a salts
factory growth in membership,
increasing from 152 to 10 reg
/ ular members during the year.
In spite of that, however, 1t was
shown that revenues were not
meeting expenses. and it was
recommended that the dues of the
organization be raised to 81 a
month.
Mr.. Divine showed that other
country clubs, situated in towns
/ of similar size, were charging
| from $50 to SIS year. As
10 per cent of the dues is now
paid to the government as war
tax, the net to the clubs is not
sufficient to care for the usual
activities
A. Il. Iebenstreit moved that
the dues be increased to $50 a
year, after 9 straw vote had
shown that this was agreeable to
most of those present. Allen
Bruce amended the motion to
specify that no membership mon
les might be used to pay current
/ bills. The amendment carried
and the original motion also pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Prayer presented proposal
for improving the present club
| house by laying hard wood
: floor in the porch, CHASING in the
porch and altering the interior
to double the size Of the present
