LESS FRICTION

Cord tires have only two-thirds as much rolling friction as fabric tires, according to q recent test In Yale university. Long mileage and tire expense, however important, are actually of secondary consideration ln proving the case for cord tires. To the usual arguments of long wear and low mileage costs for the cord tire, it Is now possible, says the Miller Rubber company. Akron, Ohio, to add the additional assertion that per- manent deterioration of the car due to rolling friction is pushed further into the future. Tire economy de- mands the use of cord tires

Burlington Miners Are Still Out;
Owners Work

Union miners at Burlington, N. D.,
who walked out when the national
coal strike was called, are still on
strike 100 percent, according to re-
ports received from there, although
several Of the miners are engaged in
developing and opening slopes for
new mines, This work is said not to
be violation Of the union rules.
The only coal that is being mined
near Burlington at the present time
is being taken out of the ground by
the operators themselves. While the
quantity is not large, it is said to be
enough to practically supply the de-
mand during the summer months.
While the union miners are still
out, the Burlington mines are making
preparations to mine more coal than
ever, to take care of the coal shortage
on account Of the continued eastern
strike. It is probable that the Bur-
lington operators will make arrange
ments with the striking miners, who
are merely striking out of sympathy,
and get them to go back to work, as
they can be fully satisfied as to
wages and other conditions.

about as follows: "O'Connor is fine

in North Dakota. You can read all of
his speeches and you will not find any
dirt. He is not mud singer. He is
perfectly clean. He is the finest boy
in the state" SO the listener slipped
behind the poll and went home. Mr..

"Sticking" to O'Connor

P. w. Arnold Of Berthold, life
long Democrat, an enthusiastic leag-
uer of both the Townley and Wilson
brands, believes that because j. F. T.
O'Connor, Democratic nominee for U.
S. Senator, is of his own party. that
Mr.. O'Connor would make better
senator than Frazier. He realizes
that Frazier while pretending to be
Republican, and also claims that he
expects to be Republican all his life,
yet Frazier's taking council with So
cilaists renders him unfit to represent
this state.
Mr.. Arnold fully believes that his
favorite will win next Fall. Here is
the way he figures it out. Seventeen
Democrats in Berthold precinct
changed in one day and fully two
thirds of all Democrats changed their
registration to Republican and that
all Of them to man voted for Fra
zier for U. S. senator and then for
Nestos. This to put up the weak man.

pendents and Democratic vote is sure

and living in the village or city, has
plenty of time to boost for his favor

w. A. Hunt Grows 25 Acres of
Winter Wheat

w. A. Hunt, we'll known brady
farmer, was surprised on coming to
Minot Wednesday to be presented
with check for $4,000 from a local
elevator for his dividend on grain sold
during the previous year. Mr.: Hunt
had forgotten all about getting eny
dividend and while. he hasn't heart
disease or anything like that, the
check sort of made him totter until
he could get his equilibrium. Like the
good fellow that he is, "Bill" hurried
to the Independent office and distrib-
uted little Of his coin here, where
it came in mighty handy, and we pre-
sumo that he went around like Santa
Claus, here and there, scattering sun
shine and silver dollars as he jour-
neyed along. -,
Don't say word about this in the
paper" he said, but newspaperman
can't always do as he is told, other
wise many good story would never
be published.
Mr.. Hunt has fine crop this year,
comprising nearly 400 acres of wheat
and rye. He experimental with rs
acres of winter wheat, of the Turkey
Red variety and this will be ready to
cut Immediately after the rye harvest.
The yield is not extra heavy, about
IL bushels per acre; he estimates, but
he has grown winter wheat during the
past three years and is going to
demonstrate as far as he is concerned
himself, whether or not winter wheat
can be successfully grown in this
country. He will have some choice
seed for sale.

STRIKE SETTLEMENT
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER

There isn't much change in the
strike situation, except that about
forty more G. N. employees walked
out Monday morning, which included
the hostlers, stationary engineers and
firemen.
The Great Northern have received
a number of men this week, who are
at work. The G. N. has living and
sleeping quarters fitted up for such
employees as do not care to leave the
yards.
The Great Northern advertised that
the old men who refused to return to
work by Tuesday would lose their SEN
iority and pension rights. This is
the third week Of the strike and the
strikers do not show any disposition
to return to work. They have al
ready lost in Minot alone, in the

Some of the trains have been run
ming little late.
The engines and rolling stock are
still in good condition it is report
ed, and if sufficient good men can be
secured, it may be. possible to keep
them in such shape.
The Minot strikers have conducted
themselves in a very orderly manner,
merely maintaining their pickets.
The prospects appear brighter to-
day for a strike settlement, it is said.
Chicago, July 19.-Railway strike
peace parleys assumed new and more
important proportions today, with the
possibility of the walkout of 100000
maintenance of way men virtually re-
moved by the action of the railroad
labor board in indicating it would
grant new hearings on the wage ques-
ton.
1t was pointed out the boards ac-
ton in promising rehearings commits
the board to nothing it had not al
ready indicated might reasonably be
expected under the transportation act
and that although definite assurance
Of rehearings was generally received
as concession to the union men,
this was not to be interpreted as
weakening the stand that the board
has taken from the outset. Senator
Cummins' announcement he would
hold hearings on the transportation
act to ascertain how the law may be
amended so that the living wage
would be made clear was received as
decidedly favorable to peace, both by
rail heads and strike leaders. Re-
garding this as one Of the most i'm
portant concessions yet offered the
unions, strike leaders pointed out that
a clear definition Of what constitutes
living wage seemed in prospect.
With. the wage question thus elm
mated from the dispute, only certain
rules affecting overtime pay Of the
shopmen and the restoration rights
to men now on strike were left as the
issues, it was not believed that the
latter question would prove as a
stumbling block in the way Of set
tlement of the strike. The railroad
labor board was expected to immedi-
ately direct attention to the petition
of the maintenance men on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail
road for a revision Of wage scales,
the company having waived it's rights
to 80 day notice.

SUITOR STABS GIRL,
THEN SLASHES SELF
Man. As, infatuated With
ROomer, 23, in His Home,
Uses Razor i'm Frenzy.

Bernard Wood, age as. a manufac-
turer OF stage properties and owner OF
a house at 201 West Eighty-seventh
street, opposite the Belnord, is said by
the police and roomers at the house to
have been so deeply infatuated with
Miss Alice Mason, aged %. who rented
a room from him, that he tried to kill
himself and then her with a razor last
night.
Both were taken to Knickerbocker
Hospital In a serious condition. Wood
is prisoner charged with felonious
assault. Miss Mason. who is expected
to die, was slashed almost across the
abdomen. side and back. That wound.
together with slashes or her chest and
arms, required more than 100 stitches.
Woods condition also is serious. Both
his throat and wrists have been cut.
Mrs. Cherry Davidson. dancer who
has a front room, said Wood had been
showing plainly for some time that he
was in love with Miss Mason. though,
Mrs Davidson said, he has wife In
Tennessee. Miss Mason went out with
him occasionally, but only to keep him In
a good humor and prevent unpleasant
scenes, It was said.
Mrs. Davidson, who Is III, said she
heard Wood go into Miss Mason's room
last night and start an argument. Miss
Mason then went into Mrs. Davidson's
room and Wood followed
"See what you have made me do" he
cried as he pulled a razor from behind
his back and slashed his throat.
Miss Mason ran out into the hall
screaming while Wood ran after her. A
minute later Miss Mason, with a scream
that brought Policeman O'Shea of the
West Tooth street sta ton, opened the
front door of the house and fell uncon-
scious on the stoop.
Policeman OShea ran into the house
and found Wood slashing at his wrists.
After a fight he subdued the man.

lated the laws. but SO far as your as
sociation and the council are concerned
nothing has been done that is illegal OF
morally wrong However as you say,
the public has different impression,
and we agree with you that everything
must be done to indicate that both par
ties are open and above board with
each other and with the public.
Because Of this we have accepted
the proposition Of Samuel Untermyer.
AS counsel for the Lockwood committee
he has been instrumental in uncovering
abuses and he stands out In the public
eye as representative OF the public. In
our opinion nothing can be more ef-
fective in gaining the good will and
confidence of the public than the ac-
ceptance OF the propo sftion made by It's
repre- resentative.
1--WE therefore respectfully urge the
representatives OF your association to
meet with the representatives OF the
council to discuss and consider the prop
osition."
Another point which the Lockwood
committee will press in its recommenda-
ton to the Legislat ture. II was learned
Yesterday Is the enactment OF legislation
which will give to the State the right to
appeal from dlsmissals Of indictments.
District Attorneys all over the State. !,
is said, have been urging this reform,
but It has been vigorously opposed and
many abuses Of the law have crept IN.
The argument to be presented by the
Lockwood committee Is that II an In
dictment is properly dismissed there
can be no harm done by an appeal.
whereas IL II has been improperly dis
missed the State should have some re-
dress to correct the mistake.
Demurrers to the indictments drawn
against the 104 window glass manufac-
turers on November 2S were filed yes
terday in the United States Court by
John w. Davis. formerly Ambassador to
England, who appeared as attorney for
the majority OF the defendants. Judge
John C. Knox set January % for argu
ment OF the cases. stating that in event
the demurrers were overruled the case
would go to trial on February 5.
The indictment. which names fifty
four corporations. besides individuals
connected with the corporations, charges
that a combination to do business
through one agency in the attempt to
restrain trade and to Ak prices and
eliminate competition.
