HARDING MAY
TAKE DRASTIC
COAL ! ACTION
Reported in White House Cir
cles He MAY Demand Re-
opening of All Mines
TO GIVE PROTECTION
American Flag Would Be
Ordered Planted at Every
Mine Entrance
.(By the Associated Press,

Washington, July 17.-Intimatioo
was given In well-informed govern
ment circles this afternoon that the
administration was preparing to take
drastic action within the next 48
hours in the coal strike situation
The president was represented as be-
ing of the opinion that inasmuch as
the miners representatives had re-
fused government arbitration and tha
bltuminous operators were undecided
on acceptance of such a proposal
that the interest Of the public de-
manded immediate reopening of the
mines.
With this feeling it was said the
president was prepared to direct the
mine operators to reopen their mines
at once under protection of federal
troops and with an American flag
planted at the entrance of every
mine to be operated. The operators
would be expected to comply immedi-
ately with such an edict.
The president has in mind, it was
further reported, to pay if necessary
for short time, a royalty on such
coal as would be mined to meet the
emergency. If there are insufficient
numbers of non-union miners to
operate the mines when re-opened
under government protection, it was
intimated that call for volunteer
miners would 60 out from the gov
ernment, officials believing there are
thousands of miners who are engaged
in other pursuits who would respond
to such a call. .r.
The same method of dealing with
the railroad situation must be used,
1t was said, if conditions soon do not
change for the better. The admins
tration, it was added, is determined
.fbt to be bllkad longer in its efforts
to see that the consuming public and
the industries of the country get sur
fcient fuel. ...

FT. YATES ASKS
COMPLETION OF
RAILROAD LINE!
Wants Northern Pacific to
Build on to Ft. Yates
from Cannon Ball
MUCH BUSINESS is LOST

Fl. Yates, N. D., July IA COM
mittee, consisting of Z. J.. Jacobson,
J. R. Hanley and ]. R. Turner was
appointed at a mass meeting OF the
citizens of Fort Yates called for the
purpose Of reorganizing the COM
mercial club, to gather together in
statistical form the necessary facts
to be submitted the proper officials
of the N. P. railway, showing the
large amount of business that rail
road would gain by laying the rails
on the grade from Cannon Ball to
Fort Yates-traffic which at the
present time is handled almost en-
tirely by the Milwaukee.
The commercial club has received
information which is most encour-
aging as regards the coming Of a
railroad to Fort Yates. However,
the people of Fort Yates are not 60
ing to rest on their oars, but are
determined to see to it that the
facts are presented to the proper
authorities. -@-
Would Divert Highway
The fact that an effort is being
made to divert the Capital-to- Capital
highway from the route as first de-
termined was brought to the atten-
ton of the commercial club. In
stead of running from Isabel
through Mclaughlin, Fort Yates and
Solen, the proposed change would
route the highway through Mcln-
tosh and on the Metigoshe trail
The club hopes by taking the right
action, in cooperation with other
towns, to prevent such proposed
change. AS it is, the trail from Is
abel to Bismarck over the present
route is practically completed and
has been properly marked from Bis
marck to below Mclaughlin. If
such a change as some contemplate
were to be made, road would have
to be built from Isabel to Mcintosh,
over a rough country where road
building is difficult and costly.
To Mark Grave
The commercial club have also de-
cided to place suitable signs where
the Capital highway joins the Red
and Yellowstone trails, for the pur-
pose of inviting the passing tourists
to visit many points Of historic in
terest in and about Fort Yates, and
especially the grave Of Sitting Bull.
A suitable camping ground will be
prepared for them here. ....
By a unanimous vote the club
passed a motion stating that all citi-
zens of Fort Yates and the sur
rounding country would be consid ;
cred members Of the commercial
club, no initial membership fee be-
ing required. The purpose of the
organization, as outlined by J. M. +
Carignan, Sr., is to promote the best
interests of Fort Yates and sur
rounding country; so all that is
needed for active membership is an
active interest in the affairs of the
community. - |
