MORE COAL TO
MOVE IN 10 DAYS
Governor and Bowen Believe
Shipping Will Increase
In 10 Days.

st. Paul-Early relief from the coal
shortage in the Northwest appears
probable from advices received from
Washington which indicated that
movement of about 175,O0O tons week
to this territory will begin at once.
With Eastern railroads sending men
to operate the mines in the non-union
fields in Kentucky, West Virginia.
Ohio and Tennessee, where supplies
for this district are expected to origi-
nate, rapid movement of fairly liberal
supplies to lower Lake Erie ports for
transportation to the Head of the
Lakes is expected
Both the governor and Mr., Bowen
believe that the strong recommends
tions OF the state during the past ten
days has had considerable influence
IN the Improvement of conditions
which have heretofore prevented the
disposition of coal.
Governor Preus said: "If the roads
brace up and increase the movement,
the production will show a consider
able increase. l believe the coming
week will see marked improvement
and that the flow of coal into the
Northwest will be greatly increased by
the placing of federal embargo on
shipments from the non-union fields in
the coal producing states"
Senator Kellogg put the matter
squarely up to Hoover, saying: "The
Northwest must have coal and have
1t at once"
Coal moving to the head of the lakes
on federal priority orders will be dis.
tributed under priority orders issued
by the State Railroad and Warehouse
commission, Mr.. Bowen, state fuel ad.
ministrator, said
The total needs of the state for the
same period will come close to eight
million tons.

CHICAGO TO BUY BUssEs
Measure Before Council to Appropriate

Chicago-Chicago's protracted street
car strike saw representatives of the
car companies and strike leaders in
an apparent deadlock over terms for a
settlement.
Meanwhile Mayor Thompson and the
City Council were considering plans
for the purchase and operation of city
owned motor busses through appropri
ations from the 80 million dollar trac
tion fund. In communication to the
council, the mayor suggested appropri
alton of three million dollars for the
purpose, and Alderman Oscar Olsen

GOVERNMENT MAY
CONTROL ROADS
Harding's Efforts to End Rail
Strike FaiI..0nIy Two
Moves Open.
TURN Down PROPOSALS
the Public Interest Appeared
Inevitable When Both Sides
Oppose Harding.

ton.-Governmental seizure
Of the railroads in the public interest
appeared inevitable as leaders of both
sides in the railroad strike indicated
their opposition to President Hard
ing's latest proposal for settling the
menacing dispute.
Rejection of the proposal will leave
the president with only two moves
open to him, leaders said:
A call for conference between
rail executives and strikers leaders to
settle the trouble and this. failing, to
take over the roads.
The president indicated he is near
ing the end of his effort to mediate
the dispute.
Bert NJ. Jewell, chief of the shop
crafts unions and other leaders in
conference here have made it known
that they were opposed to have their
workers return to work, leaving the
determination of the seniority ques-
proposed by President Harding. An
answer will be made to Harding soon,
when leaders of the shop crafts men
meet here to pass on the proposal.
More ominous than this latter meet
ing Of strike leaders on the seniority
question is the call for general con-
ference here this week to leaders of
all railroad labor unions. This was
announced by Jewell and his coll
leagues.
President Harding has practically
ordered the members of the house of
representatives back to Washington by
the middle of the month. so that he
may turn to them for legislation in
handling the coal and rail strikes, it
was made known at the White House.
The original plan was for few
members to return next Tuesday and
then take three-day recesses until the
senate took final action on the tariff
bill and other measures The presi.
dents action therefore virtually sum-
mons the house into session, after a
recess Of about a month.
The executives action is taken as
an indication that he will not hesi-
tate to take over the railroads and the
mines, should such action become ne
cessary for the public welfare.

100000 TONS OF
COAL EACH WEEK
Next Move for Priority on All.
Rail Supply for North
west.

Minneapolis-Coal for the North
west in an amount sufficient to bring
the weeks total up to 100000 tons has
begun moving up the lakes to Duluth,
Governor Preus was informed by H.
B. Spencer, federal fuel administrator
The Governor was also informed
that as quickly as possible the allot-
ment would be increased to 100000
tons weekly. Mr.. Spencer asked that
the northwestern states cooperate in
the distribution of this weekly supply
to give all industries and the various
sections equitable amounts. The coal
is being shipped to the Northwest un-
der the priority orders recently issued.
Acting on the assumption that lake
movemet onf coal to the Northwest
would be insufficient. under most ia
vorable conditions, to supply North
west needs, c. A. Bruce, secretary of
the Twin City Coal exchange, announc-
ed that he would start movement
for priority shipments of all-rail coal.
He will request Governor Preus and
Ivan Bowen, state fuel commissioner,
to lend their support.
Regional committees appointed last
week by Fuel Administrator Spencer
are now on duty in the producing
fields.
According to telegram received by
Governor Preus from the geological
survey at Washington, the production
of bituminous coal in the non-union
fields in West Virginia and Kentucky
is almost normal.

DISPUTE UP TO LABOR BOARD
srotherhoods Complain Against Con.
dition Of Rolling Stock.

shington-President Harding has
asked the striking shopmen to return
to work and leave the decision on
restoration of seniority to the Railroad
Labor board.
The shopmen have tentatively
agreed to do this.
This agreement was reached after
session with chiefs of the striking
men.
Following this session the President
saw Arthur j. Lowell of the Engine.
men and Firemen, ]. Paul Stephens
OF the trainmen and H. f. Wills of the
Engineers, all of them legislative
agents for their unions
The session was primarily called for
the purpose of arranging an engage.
ment with the Big Four Brotherhood
chiefs, but the strike was discussed in
detail.
TIE crisis has been reached, the
President was told. Members of the
brotherhoods are complaining of the
condition of equipment and particular.
ly have registered a complaint against
the attitude of the railroads on the
question of seniority, which they claim
affects them just as vitality as it does
the shopmen on strike.
Possibility Of strike on the part OF
the Big Four brotherhoods was off
cially denied by Mr.. Wills, spokesman
for the engineers.
"The situation is such," Mr.. Wills
declared, "that it can no longer con:
tinue and the executives are quite
willing to call halt and let the Labor
board settle the dispute"

NORTH DAKOTA HAS BIG JOB
100000 Tons Of Coal Must Be Mined
This Year by North Dakota.

Bismarck, N. D.-Assuming that the
Ignite mines of North Dakota at
present supply about one-third Of the
states needs and that the state will
be thrown entirely on is own resources
for it's fuel, it becomes apparent that
at least 100000 tons, or three times
the output of last season, will be
needed to keep the people of North
Dakota comfortable and supply indus
trial requirements for the coming
mining season.
In view of the fact that only some
30 or 40 Of the Ignite mines of the
state have railroad connections and
that, owing to the railroad strike and
scarcity of railroad iron and ties, con-
struction of connections with new
mines and placing these new mines on
productive basis must of necessity
be slow and arduous process, the
prospects of trebing the states out
put looms up almost in the light of
the impossible
Yet this is what will have to hap
pen if enough coal is to be secured

majors declare
Strike conditions within the state
do not present any very formidable
obstacles owing to the fact that only
the Washburn mine ut Wilton is af-
fected, all others being capable of or
ganizatiOn on non-union lines, and
there appears to be good reason to
anticipate that arrangements will be
made whereby that mine also can op-
crate.
"These are facts that cannot he
controverted and the amount of en-
thusiasm. over the 75OOO0,OOO,OOO tons
Of Ignite underlying our western
prairies should not be allowed to be-
cloud the action that will be taken
with dreams of an output tonnage that
can never be realized" said local
man. "These, in brief, are the prob
lens that will have to be solved by the

CHAPTER XIII.

Neils Halvorsen often wondered
what had become of the Maggie ard
Captain Scraggs. Mfr. Glbney and Bar
;tholomew McGuftey he knew had
turned their sun-tanned faces toward
deep water some years before Captain
Scraggs and the Maggie disappeared
from the environs Of San Francisco
bay, and Neils Halvorsen was wise
enough to waste no time wondering
what had become Of them. These two
worthless might be anywhere, and
every conceivable thing under the sun
might have happened to them; hence,
in his idle moments, Neils Halvorsen
did not disturb his gray matter spec.
ulating on their whereabouts and their
then condition Of servitude.
But the continued absence of Cap
tain scraggs from his old haunts Gre
ated quite d little gossip along the
Cheyenne Wells record., 1922-04-20

waterfront, and In the course OF tihe
rumors Of his demise by sundry ana
devious routes came to the ears oi
Neils Halvorsen.
Hence "The Squarehead" was puz-
zled, In fact, to such an extent was
Neils puzzled, that one perfectly calm,
clear night, while beating down san
Pablo hay In his bay scow. the Wine
and Annie, he SO far forgot himseir
and his own affairs as to concentrate
nil his attention on the problem OF tine
ultimate finish Of Captain Scraggs.
So engrossed was Neils in this vain
speculation that he neglected to OBJ
serve toward the rules Of the ocean
highways that nicely Of attention
which is highly requisite. even In the
skipper of bay scow, II the fulsome
title of captain is to be retained for
any definite period. As result. Neils
became confused regarding the exact
number Of blasts from the siren of a
river steamer desiring to pass him to
port. Consequently the Willie and
Annie received. such a severe butting
from the river steamer in question as
to cause her" to careen and fill. Being.
unfortunately, loaded with gravel on
this particular trip, she subsidized In
continently to the bottom Of San Pablo
bay, while Neils and his crew of two
men sought refuge on plank.
Without attempting to 60 further
into the details Of the misfortunes OF
Neils Halvorsen, be 1t known that the
destruction of the Willie and Annie
Cheyenne Wells record., 1922-04-20

proved to be such severe shock to
Nefls' reputation as safe and snne
bay scow skipper that re was ulti-
mately forced to seek other and more
virgin fields. With the fragments Of
his meager fortune, the ambitious
Swede purchased a course in local
nautical school from which he duly
managed to emerge with sufficient
courage to appear before the United
States local inspectors of hulls and
boilers and take his examination for
second mates certificate. To his un-
utterable. surprise the license was
granted; whereupon he shipped as
quartermaster on the. steamer Ala
media, running to Honolulu, and what
with the lesson taught him in the loss
Of the Willie and Annie and the ex-
acting duties of his ONCE aboard the
liner, he forgot that he had ever
known Captain Scraggs.
Judge of Neils Halvorsen's surprise,
therefore, upon the occasion Of his
first trip to Honolulu, when he saw
something which brought the whole
matter back to mind. They were
standing in toward Diamond head and
the Alameda hay hove to taking OH the
pilot. 1t was early morning and the
purple mists hung over the entrance
to the harbor. Neils Halvorsen stood
at the gangway enjoying the sunrise
over the Punch-bOwl, and glancing
longingly toward the vivid green Of
the hills beyond the city, when he was
aware Of .'put," put" put" to
starboard of the Alameda. NeIls
turned at the sound just in time to
see beautiful gasoline schooner OF
about hundred and thirty tons head.
Ing in toward the bay. She was SO
close that Neils was enabled to make
out that her name was Maggie II.
"Vell. aye be dam," muttered Neils,
and scratched his head, for the name,
revived old memories. An hour later,
when the Alameda loafed into her
berth at Brewers dock, Neus noticed
that the schooner lay at anchor of the
quarantine station.
That night NeiIs Halvcrsen went
ashore for those forms of enjoyment
peculiar to his calling, and in the PAN
theon saloon, whittier his pathway led
him, he filled himself with beer and
gossip. 1t was here that Neils came
across an item in an afternoon paper
which challenged his instant atten-
tion. 1t was just squib In the ship
ping news, but Neils Halvorsen read
1t with amazement and Joy:
THE power schooner Maggie II arrived
this morning. ten days from the Friendly
islands. The little schooner came into
port with her hold bursting with the most
valuable cargo that has entered Homo.
