LOCAL man
Wins MUCH
attention

At the state convention Of cmEalm-
ers and funeral directors Of the state
held at Minot last week there probably
was no member more prominent that
f. W. Gilbertson of this city. who was
president of the association. Mr.. Gil
bertson's advertising proc!ivities have
won him a national reputation as
successful advertiser and it is needless
for US to say that he has been getting
the business. The Minot Daily News
has the following to say in regard to
Mr. Gilbertson:
can interesting figure in attendance
at the state convention Of undertakers
this week is E. w. Gilbertson of Devils
Lake, who has been an active member
Of the association for years, going to
national conventions many times as
delegate, and at this time presidens
Of the state association.
Mr.. Gilbertson conducts a l.
furniture store at Devils Lake.
it is in this connection that he o. !.
attracts the almost nationwide at
tention Of advertising men through
newspaper advertising campaigns of
tremendous magnitude. Mr.. Gilbert
son has been known in the past to
carry as high as 20 full-page advertise
ments in as many newspapers of
north central North Dakota of fur
riture or piano sale to thousands Of
readers.
In connection with this it is inter-
esting to hear Mr.. Gilbertson say:
"It is to advertising I attribute the
success Of my business, for it has brot
great results to me-"
The Minot Independent, tine leading
weekly newspaper in the western part
of the state, also writes up MI. Gill
bertson in the following manner:
"E. W. Gilbertson, prominent Devils
Lake furniture dealer and unde- taker
was in Minot this week in attendance
at the undertakers' convention.
"Mr. Glibertson started in business
in Devils Lake in the early days with
practically no capital to speak CT but
by good hard work and liberal use
of printers ink, he has been able to
build up a furniture and undertaking
business that is second to none in the
state.
"Mr. Gilbertson is liberal advertis-
er, and attributes great deal of his
success to the returns from his sys-
TEN of extensive newspaper advertis-
ing.
During some of the years of poor
crops around Devils Lake when most
merchants were trying to economize
by cutting down on their advertising
Mr.. Gilbertson, with his back prac-
tically against the financial wall at
the time, kept pounding away at the
public with large advertisements in
the newspapers, and by his aggress-
iveness has succeeded in putting his
business on a good solid financial
foundation.
"While in attendance here at the
convention Mr.. GilLertson was work
ing hard every minute to land the
1928 convention for Devils Lake. He
is not only successful business man
but is one of the best boosters for
Devils Lake that that city has ever
had.

TX ALLOTMENT
FOR INDIANS

selfridge, N. D., Feb.22.-Pointing
out that Indians of the Standing Rock
reservation are in finincial straits
because Of poor crops, and low prices
of grain and cattle, the Selfridge
Community club has adopted a reso-
luton, copies of which are to be sent
to the commissioners of Indian affairs
at Washington, D. c., and to the dis
trict's congressman and the two Unit
cd States senotors from North Da-
kota. which asks that a per capita
payment of not less than $50 be paid
as soon as possible to Indians Of the
reservation from the fund of about
$4,000, now standing to their credit
from the sale of first triba, lands.
The resolution further recites that To-
cal banks are not in position to adj
vance further money to the Indnans,
and that $50 per capita payment
will greatly aid them in buying seed,
grain, and food for their families.

Readjustnent Of
Mexican External
Debt Considered

NEW YORK, April s--Readjust-
mert of the external debt of the Rec
public of Mexico will be considered
here the latter part of May at a
conference between Senor Adolfo de
la Huerta. Mexican minister of fl
nance. and representatives of the in
ternational committee Of bankers Of
Mexico.
According to interested American
bankers the Mexican government is
in default on the interest on a direct
debt of 1922, 100000 gold. There is
also a default on the interest of $3.50
600, 600 of railway and other debts
not guaranteed by the Mexican goE-
er1lment. Debts of the smaller Mex
ican states win bring the total ex-
ternal Indebtedness to about 100000.
The defaulted interest on the di-
rect debt amounts to $111,000,0O0 and
on the indirect debt, not guaranteed
by the government, $71,00o,000. Re-
funding of these external debts by
the flotation Of Mexican govern
ment loan will probably be the out
come of the conference.

NEW YORK, April 9. - Union
leaders claimed the first victory for
the striking anthracite miners here
today when they announced several
Independent companies had offered
to grant all Of the 10 wage demands
If the men would return to their
jobs immediately.
The offer was first made by Will
liam Peck. president of the Grove
Hill Mining company of Peckville,
Pa, who came to New York fer the
purpose, according to William y
Brennan of Scranton, Pa. president
of the United Mine Workers Of
America, in district Nc. l.
1t was followed, he said by SINH
lar offers from other small indepens
dent mine operators in the Scranton
area.
That this signified a breach in the
ranks of organized mine owners was
denied by members of the Anthracite
Operators association. They brand
ed owners who had made such Of
fers as independent operators Of
wagon mines whose production was
a negligible factor in the outcome
of the strike" The Grove Hill COM
pany is not even affiliated with the

Such offers will not win the
strike and viii have no effect on the

ton and member of the miners and

Unions optimistic
Union leaders were optimistic
however. According to Philip Mur-
ray, vice president OF the United
Mine Work ers' International organ
ization. the willingness of these
smaller operators to continue pros
duction on a basis Of higher wages
to the miners is ample proof that
there is no reason why big operators
employing thousands of men should
refuse to accede our demands.
This. the third calendar day OF the
anthracite and bitumineus strike,
which began April l, was one Of
charges and counter charges. for
which business of the wage contract
negotiations committee virtually was
suspended.
Operators charged that union

COLORADO UNIONS
CLAIM ADDITIONS
TO STRIKE RANKS

DENVER, April 3.-officials OF dis
trict No. Is of the United Mine
Workers of America today claimed
that fewer miners were working to-
day than on Saturday, when the ma
tion- wide suspension order BECAME
effective, While operators declared
that more men reported for work to-
day than on Saturday.
Felix Pogliano, secretary Of district
10, said tonight that there were APP
proximately 1000 union miners on
strike, compared with an estimated
10000 Saturday. when the suspension
order became effective. He expressed
the opinion also that probably $500
non-union miners did not work today.
The situation from the unions point
of view. he said, was very good and
growing brighter all the time.'
Mr., Pogliano said that there were
more men out in the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company properties than on
Saturday and that the company was
badly crippled through lack of work
ers. The Kebler No. property, he
said was shut down today.
Officers OF the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company here reported that 240o
men reported for work today in the
company's four coal fields. This it
was said was a gain of 172 over Sat
urday. Officials said that conditions
were practically normal in Walsea-
bur gand Trinidad fields. The five
mines in the Canon City district are
reported closed and the Crested Butte
district was operating about so per
cent of normal, it was said.
The Rocky Mountain Fuel company
reported that 100 men returned to
work in the Columbia mine today and
that few men worked in the Stan
dard and Simpson mines. Colorado
rangers under Col. p. J. Hammock are
doing patrol duty in the strike dis
tricts. lie declared that it was diff
cult to determine the number of men
on strike, pointing out that today
following Saturdays holiday and
Sunday, many miners would not have
returned to work under normal con-
ditions. A few arrests have been
made, it was said, for precautionary
reasons. No violence has been re-
ported.
According to union officials man
and a boy We're arrested today at
Frederick, near Trinidad, but the
cause of the arrest, it was said, was
not known at union headquarters
In the mining properties around CAL

$1,000 MINERS IN
VIRGINIA DISTRICT
To SUSPEND WORK
[RspubIIean A. ?. leased wIrel

INDIANAPOLIS, April 3. First
definite reports from two important
coal fields of West Virginia We're
brought to the headquarters here of
the United Mine Workers OF America
by Lawrence Dwyer of Berkley, w.
Va, member of the international
unions executive board. who de-
clared that 2l,000 miners in the New
River and Winding Gulf field would
be enlisted before the end Of the
week in the unions nation wide sus-
pension of work.
Plans for pushing the unions work
in the Winding Gulf field were said
by Mr.. Dwyer to have brought him
to union headquarters, but on his
arrival, he found President John l..
Lewis and other. officials absent
from the city and he said he would
return to West Virginia by way Of
Washington or New York so as to
have opportunity to talk with Mr..
Lewis.
Aside from Mr.. Dwyer's statements
the only report reaching hea6quar-
ters here, came from Kansas where
the union officials declared all union
men We're idle, although the state in
dustrial court had ordered tenn
porary continuance of the old wage
scales. The absence Of the unions
executive officers was said by union
employees to explain the lack of re-
ports bearing on the situation in var
ious coal fields, but headquarters
attaches were confident that the
suspension had met its first test of
strength today without any loss in
the union estimate Of 600, 600 as hay
ing joined the walIIout.
In the New River field of West
Virginia, formerly unionized terri
tory but recently operating under an
old scale without union sanction, Mr..
Dwyer asserted that 1900 miners
had returned to the union. all of
whom, he said, would not return to
work.
In the Winding Gulf field he pre-
dicted that 10000 more miners-all
non -union-would quit work. AL
though he said he had no definite
reports on the situation today he de-
clared that he had assurance before
leaving West Virginia that most Of
the 81 900 men would not work to-
day.
The New River field, he said was
closed by the suspension.

carry out the order of the Kan
sas industrial court to continue
the present wage agreement in
the Kansas mines for 80 DAYS. ac-
cording to Massey Holmes, coun-

said.
The attorneys further advised
the Kansas operators, he added,
that in case they succeeded in
getting the miners to enter any
negotiations. they should be sub
mitted to the industrial court for

HOUSE REJECTS
$4,000 SALARY
PROPOSALS FOR
SHIPPING BOARD

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The house
put its foot down firmly today on
proposal to pay salaries of $4,000 to
four shipping board Officials, refusing
by a unanimous vote to approve the
conference report on the independent
office appropriation bin which WOULD
have authorized payment during the
coming fiscal year of salaries of be-
tween $1,000 and $25,O00 to six en-
ployes in addition to the four who
would receive $S5.000.
The rejected limitation had been
agreed to by house and senate con-
ferees as a compromise between
house provision that six officials
could be paid between $1,000 and
SIS, 900, but none more than $4,000,
and a senate amendment authorizing
salaries in excess OF Sill, 900 with
maximum stipulation for not more
than Is officials.
After a round OF criticism of the
compromise limitation, the report was
recommended to the house managers
with instructions to insist on pro-
vision that no salaries in excess OF
$4,000 be authorized. Representative
Walh, Republican of Massachusetts,
who was the chairman of the COM
inittee which investigated shipping
board affairs after the close of the
war, and Representative Mann, Re-
publican of Illinois. proposed recon-
mittment of the report.
Democrats failed by 2 to vote in
an attempt to have the conferees in
structed to hold out against any pro-
vision which failed to specify how
many employees were to receive more
than $1,000 a year.

ence report was devoted mainly to
attacks on the compromise as to sal
aries. Expressing the hope that con-
gress would tell the shipping board
it would have to get along without
four "$35, 900 beauties Mr.. Walsh de-
elared that while the board had a
series tangle to unravel," it had no
problems to cope with greater than

Representative Wood. Republican of
Indiana, in charge of the conference
report.
would give the four men a higher
combined salary than that of all
| cabinet members. Congress. in his
| opinion, is not justified in paying
$35, 900 to any one in the government
service short of the President.
Representative Harrison, Democrat
| of Virginia, told the house he had re-
| fused as conferee to sign the con-
| ference report, because of his objec-
tion to the agreement as to salaries.
Mr.. Wood said he was convinced
that the men who would be paid the
salaries objected to by the house.
would be confronted with a problem
the like of which the nation had never
seen.

After Conferences Yes
terday Statement Made
That 1t Would Get An
other Chance In House

The merest mention was made in
the legislature yesterday of senate
bill 43, the financial code, and that
was in the official statement in the
house that it would be retained until
today on the house calendar. But the
day was not devoid of efforts outside
to clarity the situation. Conferences
were held in the office of the. gov
ernor and another down town by a
mixed group of Republicans and
Democrats. The statement was made
by one in authority that there would
probably be a modification Of the
house amendments of last Saturday.
1t appears now that the bill will at
least go to a conference.
But there was another 43 that en-
gagged the attention of the senate,
and that was substitute house bill 40,
for the amendment of the county
highway commission act. That has
been retained from last Friday on the
calendar to be called up yesterday
with senate bill so, which proposes
the abolition of county commissions.
After considerable scoring for a
start in the morning and after a
series of confusing motions, an at
tempt was made to cut the Grodian
knot by a motion TO postpone in
definitely house bill 43. 1t failed by
a tie vote. Then Mr. Scott, who had
taken charge of the BILL succeeded
in giving it the right Of way over
senate bill so. and the consideration
Of the standing committee amend
ments was begun and occupied the
greater part of the rest of the day.
The bill as it came from the house
had a clause providing for the con-
tinuing of all contracts into which
existing commissions had entered.

agreements into which commissions
had entered. The latter was stricken
out and the former was amended.

tract apply to valid" contracts.
Fail to Kill Bill
After all the amendments ha@
been disposed of and while motion
to send the bill to the style. revision
and compilation committee was
pending. another motion to indefi-
nitely postponed was offered. and
again it failed BY d tie vote as fol-

The bin was then sent to the COM
mittee on style. revision and COM
pilation. An effort was made with
out success to force senate bill 90
to a vote.
Three new bills were offered In
both houses in the course of the day.
The first by Mr.. Elliott is intended
to throw some light on the total
bonded indebtedness of the state. 1t
is a surprising thing that there is no
man. living or dead, who knows how
much the total bonded indebtedness
OF the state is--that is. the indebt-
edness of the state and all OF its
subdivisions down to school and irri-
CATION districts.
That information could be obtained
only by correspondence with the
tax commission and all the boards
of supervisors of the state.
The bill proposes that reports shall
be made of all bonded Indebtedness
