THE PRESIDENT
TAKES A HAND
Harding Thinks it About Time Coal
Miners and Operators Cut Out
the Rough Stuff
WE MAY FREEZE THIS WINTER
Public Suffers and Pays Bill When
Production Ceases

"A new governmental proposal for
settlement Of the national coal strike
was discussed at a meeting Of Presi-
dent Harding with Secretaries Hoover
and Davis at the White House Mon
day.
An effort was made to draw up a
'plan Of action" which Hoover and
Davis could submit to the conference
Of bituminous miners and operators
later in the day.
Harding, it was learned, is consid-
ering the possibility Of calling the op-
posing factions to the White House
for another executive session.
President Harding proposes federal
arbitration Of the nation wide mine
strike.
Before the conference Of miners and
operators at the White House, the ex-
ecutive suggested that the dispute be
submitted to a federal commission
composed Of three operators, three
miners and five persons to represent
the public.
The president would appoint the
public representatives.
Harding also again demanded that
the operators and miners resume min
ing operations pending the findings Of
the commission.
This commission would have until
August 10 to arrange a new wage
scale, according to the Harding plan.
In the meantime, the old wage scale
would be effective. If accepted both
operators and miners would agree to
accept as final the findings of the COM
mission.
The commission also would make an
exhaustive inquiry into the mining in
dustry, which has been the source Of
'recurrent strikes during the last ten
years. The president said he was
hopeful that in this manner industrial
peace in the industry would be estab-
lished.
The president promised to ask con-
gress for authority and appropriations
to enable the commission to carry on
its work.
The new wage scale which the COM
mission would fix would continue until
March I, 1928. By that time it ID
expected that the commission would
be able to make a complete report on
conditions in the industry SO that more
or less Of permanent scale could be
agreed upon.

THIS OUTDOOR LIFE IS GREAT
Fishing in Minnesota About the Best
Recreation There Ii
By Alex. R. Wright

The editor Of this great family jour-
nal always figures if we go away for
q few days-even on fishing trip
we come home with whole boatload
Of new ideas. He has asked US to say
something, and il we can steady our.
selves down from the swing of the
boat and the jitney, we might get of
something.
A fishing trip has something Of a
restful sound about it, but you get
away from that restful stuff right
away as soon as you get in sight Of
water and a boat with Board Hodges
He gets you out at four o'clock in the
morning, and it is usually dark when
the days work ends. Restful HI
Nothing to it. It will take a week
now for me to catch up with sleep.
The June bugs beat us to Ten Mile
lake, and the air and water were full
Of them. By a good half days work
we only had succeeded in a catch Of
two pike and four pickerel. The even
ing's catch only brought sunfish and
rock bass. Not much doing, so after
couple days we moved hundred
miles northward.
This. brought US in the vicinity Of
Park Rapids, only 20 miles from Be-
midi. The Jefferson highway, which
stretches from New Orleans in the
south to Winnipeg in the north, makes
the trip very easy. A graveled thor
oughfare all the way.
Just nine miles northwest of Park
Rapids lives our old friend, G. w.
Wattles, who left this county with his
family five years ago. Charley owns
an eighty acre farm, only thirty acres
being under cultivation. This he has
to corn, potatoes, oats and timothy.
The farm at one time was covered
with timber, and there is much timber
and brush on the home place yet.
Seven miles to the south he has forty
acres Of timber, where he gets his
wood and building material. The tim
ber is mostly pine, with spruce, hem
lock and birch intermixed. There are
nuts and wild berries in abundance.
Charley runs to Jersey cattle and
blooded chickens Of the Soudan and
Brown Leghorn varieties. He gets q
nice living from the cream and eggs
sold. He is gradually getting forty
acres more ready to cultivate, but it
takes work and lots Of patience in
cleaning off timber in a country where
timber would rather grow than not.
By letting it out the land can be- clean
ed for SIG per acre.
When the Dickey county folks hove
in sight Charley just put the culti-
vator to rest, and it was fishing early
and late for five days. The weather
was against US, but we landed more
fish than we could take care of, not
always the variety we wanted, but fish
just the same. When you wanted pike
and pickerel got on the hook, Board
made few remarks; when we wanted
black bass a:ld rock bass insisted on
grabbing our hait, the cussing shifted
to Charley. We kept quiet for the
reason that things were to be printed;
but the other cusses did not know
that. We are not going to print the
remarks made.
Mrs. Wattles and daughter are just
splendid when it comes to feeding
Ashsrmen. Fishermen are hungry

Maxim Gorky," who was reported to
be on his way to England on a visit to
H. G. Wells, but is Still held up by the
Bolshevist authorities on the frontier,
is A!exei P~yeshkof, the poet and
chronicler of the pariahs and vaga-
bonds of Russian society.
"Gorky'' means bitter" The full
name, Maxim Gorky," may, perhaps,
be read to mean the 'bitterest of the
bitter" The %pseuGonym effectively
%symbolizee Pyeshkof's attitude toward
life, for his fiction is the distilled es-
of the disappointed.
He was not at first 4 Bolshevik, and
he seems only to have joined the
Bolshevist ranks under pressure.
Given his choice between low diet and
high office he preferred the latter,
which is one, happily, that does not
require him to take any active part

Equipping Ship.

Seattle. - Final provisioning and
equipping of the exploring ship Maud,
in which Capt. Roald Amundsen,
noted Norwegian explorer and discov-
erer of the South Pole, will resume
his interrupted Arctic expedition next
May, is being completed as the stout
! little ship lies in the land-locked
waters of Lake Union here.
/ A smashed propeller blade, lost in
the ice off the northeastern Siberian
! coast last year, forced Capt. Amund-
sen to bring the Maud to Seattle for
repairs. When the journey is re-
sumed the vessel will carry four ex-
ira blades, so That a similar accident
, may cause only a temporary halt to
the expedition. The Maud will carry
provisions for seven years. although
the explorer does not expect the trip
to occupy more than five years Mt the

work. He said that he would probably
use them to reach the North Pole
