FUEL PR0FITEERINC
BILL IS HELD UP

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2.-Hard-
ing's legislative program for curbing
fuel profteering and regulating the
coal industry was held up in the SEN
ate today. The Pomerene corrupt
practice act to limit the expenditures
of congressional candidates temper
arily displaced the administration
coal legislation at the point of debate.
Declaring that immediate necessity
existed for the bill because the cleo
ton campaigns were already started
in many sections of the nation, Pom
creme secured permission to have the
measure brought up for consideration
by the senate before the fuel anti
profteering bill was again considered
and following the disposal of this
measure the anti-profteering bill will
be again in the order of business of
the senate. y.

KIWANlS NOTES

Kiwanis met at the Rudolf Hotel at
seven p. m. Friday to listen to the re-
ports of the delegates who attended
the convention at Grand Forks. 1t
was "ladies night" and many were
present.
DR.. Zimmerman was the chairman
of the evening and he conducted
snappy meeting. He offered two at
tendance prizes, one to ladies who
have husbands in Kiwanis and one to
the ladies who may have at some fut-
ure time. One prize was won by Mrs
Fred Heidel and the other by Miss
Peterson.
Next followed the report Of the dele
gates, and it is evident from the talks
given that it was a wonderful conven-
ton, Rev. John Wilds was the first
speaker. He told of the trip, to Grand
Forks and many of the amusing incl
dents that took place on the way, He
was loud in his praise for the people
of Grand Forks, particularly for the
way in which they entertained the
visitors. The Kiwanians, the Rotar-
ians, the Lions and the Commercial
Club seemed to have set everything
else aside for two days so as to enter
tain the visitors and nothing was left
undone that would help to make the
convention a success. Grand Forks
certainly set high standard for 9TH
er cities to look up to in the matter
of entertaining conventions.
Other speakers who also spoke OF
the trip to Grand Forks were James
Nelson, Rev. Charles Baxter, Reuben
M. Stee and President T. Melvin Lee.

EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
FIRE DESTROYS BOXCARS

At about $3.50 last Sunday morning
the fire department and citizens were
called out by the insistent changing of
the fire bell. The blaze was in a box
car standing on the siding just south
east of the depot and beside a coal
and tool shed. The fire had a good
start before the alarm was turned in
and rapidly spread to adjoining cars
and to the coal shed, which was filled
with hard coal. There was some de-
lay in getting water onto the blaze
and before the fire was under con-
troll three empty box cars had been
destroyed, another car loaded with
rye badly damaged, and the coal shed,
destroyed, and some other cars slight
ly scorched. Very little of the coal
in the shed was burned, but the rye
in the car was badly damaged by wa
ter.
The origin of the fire is not definite
ly known. Three "boes" were Sleep
ing in the car, in which was a con-
siderable quantity of straw. One of
them Weakened the other two just in
time for the latter to escape. It is
beNeved that he set the fire, whether
accidentally or deliberately. The 9TH
err two young fellows who were sleep
ing in the car were unable to give any
information, as the interior of the car
was all ablaze before they were

| The middle west has not realized
any great benefit from the Panama
Canal project. Nor did it expect to,
well knowing that the Eastern and
Western coast districts and cities
would be the real gamers. Neverthe-
less, thee Middle West, the great agri-
cultural producing section, loyalty sup
ported the Panama project and helped
pay for it, even when the cost went to
four hundred million dollars. And the
Middle West has no. regrets.
Now this same Middle West is ask
ing that the St. Lawrence Waterway
be put thorugh to the sea. This would
mean only a small extension to a
great traffic way that already exists
and is heavily used. Thirty-four miles
of canal would have to be built and
one hundred and forty-eight miles of
riverway improved. To do this would
cost only about one half what the Pan
ANA Canal cost, and tenth of what
it cost the Government to finance the
railroads during the war.
How much of a concession would
this be for New York to make? Sure
ly not very much, in the light of pres
ent conditions. For if this project does
not go through, the railroads will re-
quire one billion to two billion dollars
to keep abreast Of the Country's de-
mand for transportation. This will
mean increased freight rates and high
err prices, which New York will have
to pay for it's raw materials from the
Middle West.
Can New York afford to see these
charges go higher? Obviously she cam
not.-Minneapolis, Mimi, Journal.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2.-The strike
of the 100000 striking shopmen con-
tinued today unchanged in spite Of
the drastic injunction granted the
United States government to end the
strike.
If the leaders of the shop men re-
fuse to abide by the terms Of the in
junction the United States army will
be used to protect the railroads. The
strike leaders recovered from. the
blow-thrown into their ranks by At
torney General Daugherty and no new
move was made to check the strike
by the railroad headquarters here OF
the federal shop men declaring that
this organization will support the ef-
forts of the government to end the
lawlessness and violence in connection
with the strike. The statement de-
clared today, however, that by no
means will they assume that the fed
eral court intends to restrain the ne
cessary and legitimate work of the
organization. Bert M. Jewell, presi-
dent of the Shop Craft unions, left
Chicago hurriedly for the east and
with the avowed intention Of staying
away from there until the strike was
over. It was reported that Jewell
left for Cleveland to confer with the
leaders of the Big Four Brotherhood.
John Scott, secretary to Jewell, de-
clared that if the injunction is lived
up to the letter it will be impossible
to continue the strike. The United
States Marshal continued to serve no.
tices on the 1B1 members of the Shop
Crafts union named in the injunction.
The court agreed, however, that pub
fishing of the injunction would be the
same as a personal notice. The union
members specialized just how far the
government would go in backing up
this order. If it is a mere grimace
and no word of encouragement is CIV
en- the strikers the least word from
the strikers will make them liable for
contempt of court. The government
will take more drastic action, it was
indicated, if necessary. That the
United States court would appoint a
receivership for all roads was among
the measures considered. Several Of
the men named in the injunction can
not be found and among those named
who can be located there seems to be
a Discrimination to discuss the injunc-
ton. Leaders are said to be waiting
to see just what the governments
next move will be. 1t was reported
from good authority that Jewell and
other members of the Shop Crafts
union have issued no instructions to
the 100000 striking members of their
union. This indicated that the leaders
are determined to stand firm in their
determination to carrying on the gen
eral walkout despite the action Of At
torney General Daugherty.

GAS BAN VOTED,
FUTURE FARLEY
ON WAR LIKELY
Aircraft Subject Con
sidered Worthy of a
Larger Conference.

Washington, Jan. Thy The As
sociated Press. THE Washington
conference about completed its arms
| limitation program Saturday by vot-
| ing poison gas into the restricted pro-
visions.
As in the case of the new rules TO
govern submarines. the prohibition
against use of gas was adopted by the
five great powers as applicable among
themselves, with an invitation to the
rest of the world to join in the agree
ment.
That left on the armament waiting
list only two topics-limitation Of air.
craft and general revision of the rules
of warfare-and both seemed likely to
be passed over without definite action.
An air warfare sub committee has
reported after much study that limi-
tation of airplanes appears imprac-
ticable until conference of wider
scope has been convened, although it
was suggested that some restrictions
on use Of lighter than air craft might
be worth attempting.
Conference on War Rules Suggested
A future world conference for con-
sideration of the rules of war also has
been suggested and sentiment among
hopes to see the present negotiations
develop some agreement against bonn
harding unfortified cities.
SO far have the armament discus
sions proceeded that some delegations
are looking forward to plenary ses-
sion Wednesday or Thursday to pub
lish the completed limitation treaty
and to record further steps taken in
the far east. Saturdays deliberations
contributed no surface indication of
progress in the far eastern discussions
despite an appeal by the Chinese to
to Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour
to suggest way out of the Chinese
japanese deadlock on Shantung.
The general belief is that with the
armament negotiations ended. the far
eastern situation could be wound up
in another week or 10 days. That
would seem to forecast final ad-
journment about two weeks or so
hence, but not so soon as some dele
gates had expected. Prince Tokugawa
of the Japanese delegation left for
Japan Saturday, but it was indicated
that Mr.. Balfour was considering can
ceiling his steamship reservations for
next Saturday.

Mr., Lloyd George also resisted al

1t was suggested in Il meeting of the
experts, previous to decision to invite
German representatives to Cannes
that Germany be asked to send a rep
resentative here to confer with the
council regarding reparations payments
antees was taken.
The Belgian delegation has an
nounced that it will insist on Bel
GUMS priority to 2,5O0,OOO,0oO gold
marks of the German reparations.
This is regarded as an important OBJ
stacle to the British plan, which the
French are disposed to accept in part.
In Saturdays deliberations, Great
Britain, in exchange for abandonment
of her % per cent of the first two
payments in 1922, asked Belgium to
renouncc in part her priority claim so
that France can share in those pay
ments, demanding also that France
ratify the August agreement whereby
the first billion gold marks now in the
hands of the reparatlons commission
would be applied to the payment Of
Great Britain's and Belgium's occupa-
ton expenses to the exclusion of
Frances.
Angora Treaty Taken Up
Meanwhile. Premier BRAND. Lord
Curzon. British foreign secretary, and
Foreign Minister Della loretta, of
Italy. have been comforting regarding
the treaty signed at Angora between
France and the Turkish nationalists.
The solution of the Turkish depart
ment and consideration of the Angora
treaty was gone into further in the
forenoon, when the premiers and for
eign ministers held an informal dis
cussion.
1t was indicated that the greatest
efforts would be put forth to dispose
of the Angora question by Tuesday
and, if possible, conclude the supreme
councils work by Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning.
Learn Celebrity From Arms ParIey
Many of the delegates attribute the
quick results of Fridays meeting to
the example of the Washington con-
ference. They point out that Mr..
Lloyd Georges program was presented
and accepted with the same sudden
ness and speed as the opening pro-
posals of Secretary of State Hughes
at the armament gathering.

cupy almost the entire time Of the

are hopeful that decision will be
reached At the end Of one days con-

leads the way and the representatives
of the allies follow as a subject fol-
lows the hypnotst As he had an
nounced, he subordinated the question
of reparations to that of the recon
