ton D. Rankin with the state railroad
commission Friday afternoon, re-
questing that action be taken at once
to obtain reduction in freight rates

is no governmental agency in the
state of Montana which has not been
as active, or is more anxious to secure
rates for Montana people, as soon as
reductions can lawfully be secured
as the Montana railroad commission
and the board is willing to stand or
its record of the last 1S months as
proof of this fact"

Short Talks Made by Farmers On
Matters of Interest," to the
Community.

Members Of the Bozeman Rotary
Club were hosts TO the farmers Of
the Galatin valley last Tuesday noon
at the regular weekly luncheon, when
nearly 80 men sat down at table
There were 40 farmers present, each
Of whom was introduced by the men,
Der whose guest he was, as the roll
was called. This was the first of a
series of such luncheons 70 be given
by the club in the future. II proved
a most enjoyable and successful af-
fair.
President John Lovelace extended
welcome to the farmers in a short
talk in which he told of the object of
the club in asking the farmers to at
tend. He told them it was the de-
SIRE of the club that farmers should
know the motives and desires of the
club, to learn it's method of working,
and its ideals. He told them it is the
desire of the man in town to get bet
ter acquainted with his out of town
friends, to increase the companion
ship and good fellowship between
them, so that each may profit there
by.
Judge B. B. Law, as the farmer
member Of the club was called upon
to talk for the classification he rep
resents. He spoke briefly in hum
orous vein for some time, and then
complimepted the action of the club
in having farmers for their guests.
He predicted better relations between
both, if the matter if followed up.

probation Of the farmers attending
the luncheon, stating that it was a
movement in the right direction to
bring about the good understanding

tional conference with the coal min
ers' union, are not controlled by
''mere madness, but a determination
to cure a deep-seated disorder" Geo.
Fl. Gushing, managing director of the
American Wholesale Coal Associa-
tion, declared today in an address be-
fore the Washington City club.
Federal court indictments which
have charged operators of union
mines with conspiring with the min
ers' union in endeavors to fix coal
prices and damage non-union coal
mines were held by Mr.. Cushing as
largely responsible for the unwilling
ness of the coal operators to confer,
Mr.. Gushing declared that wages
must come down in the mines, and he
said this was illustrated "by the
amazing fact that under the present
scale practical miner can earn full
ly $1,000 a year, though the miners
know they dare not earn all the scale
allows"
"They know that if the public
should realize how much a practical
miner may earn" said Mr.. Cushing
the people would refuse to pay the
price for coal that such scale fixes
They know how quickly their rate
would be cut. Labor is not striking
against the coal operators, the rail
road managers or the manufacturers,
it is striking against the public. The
public does not know to what extent
