having been conveyed by boat and

not out of danger.

volver he had been using in target
practice, according to the story OBJ
tanned by the hospital authorities.

lake who first attended Mr.. Johnson
advised an operation and speedy re-
moval to a hospital. This necessitated
conveying the wounded man several
miles by boat to Merrill, N Y, and

GOVERNMENT READY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. While
awaiting evidence of the effect on the
nations crippled transportation facili
ties Of the federal court injunction is
sued in Chicago yesterday against
striking railway shopmen, the federal
government, administration spokes-
men declared, was prepared today to
take any further steps and exercise
any of it's powers necessary to bring
about restoration of normal condi-
tions. Just what direction such fur
Their action of the government if found
necessary might take had not been re-
vealed, but it was declared the re-
straining order did not represent the
limit to which the government was
prepared to go.
Meantime labor leaders here, view
ing. the injunction as "an outrageous
invasion of the strikers rights, had de-
clared their intentions of ignoring the
order so far as it might be construed
as interfering with what they con-
ceived to be legitimate efforts of the
striking organizations and their
friends to win the strike.
w. Z. Johnson, representing as
president of the International Associa-
ton of Machinists, one of the largest
groups of the rail strikers declared
the injunction would not cause the
slightest abatement of efforts to win
the strike, while Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, assured it was the fedora
tons view that injunctions which Gin
vaded constitutional rights" should
be treated as agents of power"
Mr.. Gompers declared thai the
American Federation of Labor would

That parents should endeavor to &C.

children to be companionable to them,
was the substance of the remarks
made before the quartely meeting of
Friends held at the East Main Street
Friends church Saturday afternoon by

speaker stated that such action on the
part of parents would do much to
cause the abandonment of the idea on
the part of the children of today that
parents are "old fogies" and that of
the parents that all children are frivol-
Gus and giddy. This spirit, said the
speaker would make for more crea.

RECORDS APPEAL

from New Jersey.
Copyright, 1922. by NEA service.)

Copyright, 1922. by NEA Service
Our problem is how to do away
with unemployment, reduce the cost
OF living and make working and liv-
ing conditions better. In politics we
take one step at a time 1 propose
that we first attack the coal trust and
beef trust.
The simple and obvious way to
break up these trusts is to take away
their privileges.
If the government shall acquire
the railroads. including all private
cars owned by the beef trust. the
principal stockyards, and terminal
cold storage and other warehouses
and operate them all as a part Of the
railroad facilities. open to all ship
pers on equal terms, the power OF
the beef trust will be destroyed.
Its destruction would divide the
business among many hundred COM
petitors. This competition would
lower prices and at the same time
prevent the exploitation OF the farm
er and cattle raiser.
To remove the coal trusts privi-
leges, the government could pur-
chase at least $4,000. 600 worth of
anthracite coal land owned by the
trust and held out Of use.
Then lease the land for mining
purposes to those who desire to COM
pete with the trust, upon moderate
royalties, conditioned upon forfeiture
for non-use. Then guarantee by gov
eminent ownership and operation OF
railroads equality OF service in trans
portation.
Dividing business among many
competing concerns, none having
any privilege, would materially re-
duce the price OF coal. Eventually
this would remove the sole obstacle
10 the establishment OF great electric
power over wires in place OF coal in
cars.
These things would bring economy
in industry and a reduction in the
cost of the necessities of life.

Docile Prisoner Gives Sheriff the Slip
at Breckenridge

AT OIeCkenrI08e
VIM. Quandt, who was suspected of
robbing the Ole Olson store at Ryder
q month ago, escaped from Sheriff
Scofeld at GAINESVILLE, MIMI, last
Thursday night, while being returned
to Minot. He had been arrested in
Minneapolis, when he called at the
express office to receive his baggage.
At first he refused to return without
extradition papers, but changed his
mind. He appeared SO docile that
the sheriff did not handcuff him and
when the sheriff stepped back to one
end of the coach, the man made his
escape. The yards were searched but
Quandt- could not be located. This
is the first time prisoner ever es-
capped from Sheriff Scofeld while en-
route. j.
Quandt is queer sort Of fellow
and rather shrewd. Suspecting that
he would be arrested at Ryder, he ex-
pressed his baggage and walked to
Douglas where he boarded the train.
During the winter Quandt was ar
rested for hunting without license,
and put up $25 cash bail. He ap-
peared in Minot one day and told the
Judge heart rending story Of a de-
pendent family, claiming to have walk
