LIBERIA ID GET
 $5,OOO,OOOLOAN
United States Plans Big Loan to Small Negro Republic,
 Mostly UnciviIized
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald,


 Washington, September 14-(Spe- cial-)-Five million dollars to L- beria, q negro republic. a very small percentage of the population is civ ilized!
 The argument of those in favor of making the loan was based entirely on the ground that the United States was in honor bound to advance the money. Republicans, supporting the bill at the instance of the President declared it to be an Inherited incubus from the preceding administration.
 If Liberia gets the money. 1t will pay England and France practically $2,oO0i000, and give the United States charge of it's finances. It is inter esting to note that England and France already owe the United States billions Certain democrats, oppos- ing the bill argued that England ana France might credit the United States for the amount that Liberia owes them
 United States to Take Charge
 And after Liberia has discharged its obligations to England and France, t will pay Morgan X Co.,, s1.500. .000 With the residue, it will construct railroads. In order to collect .he money the United States will take charge of the customs house, and re- tain, charge until the $5,000, GOO IS collected. Wall street financiers are very much interested In the proceed ings.
 Carter Glass, Virginia senator. was secretary of the treasury when it is alleged the United States promised Liberia loan of s5,000,000 provided i would declare war against Ger many Liberia did declare war, and Germany proceeded against the com merce of Libera-injuriously But Liberia conflscated German property, and emerged from the war without suffering financial loss. It did not sacrifice an army IL did not partlci- pate in the war.
 Already the United States has ad- vanced to Liberia on the promised loan of $5,000,o00. sum apppros- mating s26000. This money was ex- Eended by agents of Liberia who af- tended the peace conference at Paris after the armistice. It was a junlet trip for the Lberian commissioners

for Fishing Trips

If the weather is good this morning.
all that is necessary is TO Fill 'er full

The entire Y-G Bee Line highway is
said to be excellent since the road

for some time.
The road to Helena is reported good
all the way to that city. as are also

The remainder of the road to Glacier

475 SHOPNEN GO OUT HERE:
LONG STRIKE May Be SERIOUS
w. r. Smith, G. N. General Superintendent, Says
Public Must Bear With Railway If Walk
Out Continues Over Long Period.

1. was a short shift Saturday morn
ing for the 475 Great Northern car
men shop employees that laid down
their tools in response to the national
whistle hat blew in the middle of the
forenoon calling for a general strike.
The men walked off their jobs at 10
O'Clock and went home to rest.
1t was a quiet, friendly strike. but
not exactly a jovial one. Many of the
men had taken their lunch buckets, I'M
certain perhaps, as to whether some
thing might develop Saturday morning
which would forestall the walk out.
Others figured strongly on the quarter
shift and went to their work without
a lunch bucket for the first time in
years.
Local Unions Unanimous
There wasn't a great deal of laugh
ter as the boys came over the bridge.
A few joked and specialized cheerfully
about the possible outcome. Others
walked slowly and quietly. figuring
mentally, perhaps, the bank balance
and how long it would last. The local
vote to strike was almost unanimous,
it was said by union officials.
The shop men ali over the central
district, numbering approximately l,OOO
men. responded virtually unanimously
to the strike call, it was announced Sat
urday by General Superintendent w. r.
Smith. Among the crafts in the Great
Falls shops who walked out Saturday
are the machinists, carmen, boiler
makers, sheet metal workers, station
airy oilers and blacksmiths.
Mr.. Smith expressed his regret at
the strike and said that the Great
Northern would do everything IN its
power to continue the present stand
ard of service.
Cannot Estimate Seriousness
st is regretable just at this time
when the whole country is smiling over
the return to a period of prosperity and
here in Montana. where we face the
most prosperous year IN many, a strike
of this kind is more or less depressing,
although its actual seriousness at this
time cannot be estimated due to the
uncertainty as how long it may last
Mr.. Smith said.
"Personally. | do not believe that
most of the Great Northern shop men
were discomfort with their work or
their treatment. They are not affect
ed by one of the three issues on which
the strike was based, that of farming
out repair work to outside companies.
The working agreements which our
company has with its employees have
been pretty generally satisfactory. !
believe. But of course the strike was
beyond the arbitrary powers of a
single company and was a general
answer of the shop men TO the labor
boards decision
Mr.. Smith said that the strike was
a matter not only with which the rail
roads have to deal. but one in which
the public must bear its share. Al
