WATER CASE Is
HEARD TODAY
Attorneys Go from Here Ex'
pecting Hearing in st. Paul

The state railroad commission was
represented in St. Paul today in fed
eral court at the hearing on the petit
ton of the Bismarck Water Supply
company for an interlocutory injunc-
tion to prevent the railroad commits
sion from interfering with a tenn
porary increase in rates by Attorney
General Johnson, Railroad Commits
sioner Stutsman and Traffic Expert
Smart. The railroad commission was
prepared, it was said by members, to
deny the charge of undue delay in
reaching a decision on permanent re-
lief for the water company, and to
set out the various steps taken in
support of this position. 1t did not
expect to touch the merits of the
case, since the commission sits in a
judicial capacity, except to maintain
the order denying the temporary in
crease was justified.
The City Of Bismarck, through
H. F. ,O'Hare, city attorney, was ex-
pected to intervene, and to resist the
contention of the company to the ef-
feet that rates now in force are so
low as to cause confscation. Numer-
Gus affidavits were prepared by both
sides for submission to three federal
Judges.

Milford, O., Aug.24: :. It's an i'll
wind that blows no good, in the
opinion of Mayor M. 3. Scott, on this
thriving village. II.
Mayor Scott has beaten copper
stills into wash boilers, gasoline con-
tainers and similar articles of "le-
gitimate" use. With the money OBJ
tained from sale Of these, together
with the fines he. has collected from
their owners, he has built play

improvements. ~ -. .sts ss9t' ~,
Since January, Mayor Scott has
assessed $125 900 in liquor fines,
of which the share going to Milford
was $4,000, Hundreds Of illicit
stills have been confiscated and their
owners sent to prison.
Milford's monuments to prohibi-
tion are being paid for by fines into
Milford's treasury from the run, ped
dlers, moonshiners and still manu-
facturerS of Cincinnati, which is ~
miles away. The mayor of Milford
is their terror. His jurisdiction as
prohibition enforcer ranges all over

the rate of five day. .
"We are the prohibition capital OF
the state" he says. "And here you
see the first good that whiskey has
done," he adds, pointing to the rap
idly growing number of civic i'm
provements.
'Whiskey money built most Of our
pooling booths, from public play
grounds and parks. I'm going to
keep on until Milford hasn't any
more stills, and bootleg poison is
stamped out in our vicinity"
Mayor Scott's idea to convert
liquor fines into public playground
facilities and municipal improve
ments is perhaps the first of its kind
in the United States.
Visions of new city hall as the
climax of Mayor Scott's efforts are
in the minds of Milford citizens.

HEADS. KElECTaPLAN

New York, Aug. 24.--The Associ-
alton of Railway Executives yester-
day, by vote Of 254 to 4, rejected
the proposal Of the Big Five train
service brotherhoods, that the car
riers end the nationwide shopmen's
strike by reinstating the men with
seniority unimpaired and Bert NJ
Jewell, official spokesman for the
strikers, declared the association
had closed the door to peace and
voted for a lockout to smash union
ism.
At the same time, splitting away
from the majority, was a group OF
25 railroads, principally western
lines, which debated new sugges'
ton of the brotherhoods that indi'
vidual settlements be effected. This
minority indicated that it desired to
hear further regarding the individ'
ual settlement suggestion.

Despite Their Action on Semi

Continued
(By the Associated Press)

New York, Aug. 24.-kepresenta-
tives of score of railroads and the
big five brotherhood chiefs conferred
at the Yale club for about three
hours today on the possibility Of ef-
fecting agreements between individ-
ual lines and their working shopmen.
I'VE are still mediating," said War
sen S. Stone, spokesman for tho
brotherhood men when the meeting
adjourned at 1875 p. M, without an
nouncing whether another session
would be held today. ,.. VI .....
He hastened to the Hotel Wood
stock to confer at labor headquarters
with leaders of stationary crafts.
It's now up to the shopmen," said
spokesman for the big five brother
hood chiefs this afternoon after they
had conferred with committee rep
resenting a group Of about 20 roads
on a proposition for effecting separ-
sts settlements between individu.
roads and striking shopmen.
This was taken in some quarters
as indicating that representatives of
the running trades and representa-
tives of the roads totaling about "a
per cent of the milage Of the United
States and reached some sort of a
definite proposal for settlement
which has been reported to the shop
crafts at a meeting with the medi-
ating brotherhood chiefs which fol-
lowed the session with executives.
A member of the shopmen's eastern
committee made this comment to
newspapermen "Ill tell you that
there's going to be no settlement with
any 10 railroads. You can put that
in your pipe and smoke it"
While an official statement was
lacking from the shopcraft leaders,
this comment was regarded as signit-
cant in connection with the statement
attributed to heads of the stationary
trades last night that the brother
hood men had not been authorized
to suggest any separate settlement
plan which would involve abandon
ment of the policy Of the "all for ons
and one for all" policy.
