for the busiest season this district has
even experienced. The Dakota Coal
Co. secured a contingent of miners
from Duluth the first of, the week and
have resumed operations at their new
mine in Larson's Coulee. This mine

quality Of coal and will soon put on a
double shift. The materials are ar

the new 500 track leading to this
mine will begin. At the Perlichek

improve within few days. The new
slope at the Burlington City Mine is
within few feet of coal and it is
expected that active mining opera
tions will commence before Sept. 1st.

Petersen have everything in readiness
for an enormous output. The mines
on the north side and the Casteel mine

years old was in the habit Of going to
meet him as he came from work. The
little fellow started up the track for

ing him and the train ran and caught
him up in her arms and got off the
track but was hit by the pilot and
thrown eight or ten feet in the air

Says Russia Can
Feed Self After
September First;

Washington. Feb. 16-The American
relief administration expects to with
draw from It's undertaking in famine
stricken Russia by next September 1,
Edgar Richard Of that organization
said today after he had conferred with
Secretary Hoover.
BY that date, Mr.. Richard said, the
Russians should be able to feed them
selves with the proceeds of their har-
vests. The American relief admins
traton is sending to Russia in the
spring $4,000 tons of seed wheat for
planting, which is expected to insure
ample crops. In addition between five
and six million Russian adults will be
given the daily supplies of corn meal
or grits sufficient to feed them until
the new crops come in.
More than 100000 children are be-
ing supplied with balanced ration
now and this number will have been
increased by the middle of March to
100000. Several million adults also
are being fed.
The s52.O00,000 which has been avail
able for the Administrations purpos ,
will be exhausted by September 1 and
it is not the desire of the acministra-
ton to solicit private funds.

no reason to change.

Meet Demands or
Nationwide Coal
Strike, Says Lewis

Indianapolis. Ind. Feb. ia pol
icy of accepting no reductions of
wages for soft coal miners and de-
handing increases for anthracite
workers, backed up by a threat of ma
ton wide strike on April first, will be
adopted by the convention of the
United Mine uorkers of America now
in session here by IAN almost unan-
imous vote" of the delegates. accord
ing to a statement tonight by Pres
ident John L. Lewis.
The convention today stood still at
ter finally completing the work of
seating delegates. It's action how
ever cleared the way for a roll call
vote, requiring all of tomorrow's ses-
sions. to decide whether Alexander
Howat and other expelled Kansas
miners will have an opportunity to
appeal to the convention for their re-
instatement in the union. Howat's
supporter lost ground today when
they were awakened to the fact that
anti Howatt delegates from Kansas
had been seated as delegates by con-
! yention action last Tuesday.
"There is no question" said Mr.
Lewis, but that the convention will
by an almost unanimous vote adopt
and ratify the wage scale commit
tees report. When the scale de-
mands have been ratified and the
public has taken the time to study
them it will be discovered that the
| miners are doing everything in their
power to be fair and to avoid Cny
inconvenience to the coal consumer
public of this country. We shall ex-
| pect, as matter of course, that the
operators will be as fair with the pub
lie as we are"
An early conclusion of the conven-
ton was predicted by Mr.. Lewis who
said he did not expect that it would
be necessary to postpone the miners
conference with the railroad unions.
set for next Tuesday in Chicago. In
this connection he said, the proposed
alliance between the miners and rail-
road workers was not intended as a
strike menace for he had no desire
he said, of bringing on "any indus
trial catastrophe" The purpose. he
said, was to ally the workers so that
a group of employers could not "ar-
bitrarily" reduce wages without con-
siding the workers rights a. to
terms"
