DELAY IN SUBSIDY
BILL ACTION GETS
HARDING APPROVAL
President Willing to Wait I'm
til All Members of Con-
gress Arrive.

Washington, Aug. %. - President
Harding, in a letter Wednesday to
Representative Mondell, the repubi-
can leader expressed willingness to
have congressional consideration of the
administration ship subsidy bill de-
ferred until we can rivet the atten-
tion of congress with a full attend
ance."
Success of the measure, the presi-
dentN added, might be jeopardized by
pressing for an immediate decision.
The letter was in reply to one from
Mr.. Mondel, in which the republican
leader had declared that he and his
associates were reluctant to bring the
bill to a vote in the house at this time.
II am frankly disappointed" the
president stated, "that the circum-
stances have combined to make a diff
cult situation, due on the one hand to
the diminished attendance in the house
and chargeable on the other to the
new complications which have arisen.
1t would be folly to score the develop-
ment OF the issue which came up SO
unexpectedly, and we must face the
fact that the friends Of the bill. must
harmonize their views to accord with
both the constitutional amendment and
public opinion ar this ST biect.
Moreover, the same friends of the
measure must reach a concord in the
matter Of the favoring provision car
ried in the tax exemption section which
was designed to provide an indirect aid
to American shipping enterprise"
The president expressed the hone
that the administration would find a
way to deal with these new Difficult
ties with the approval of all supporters
of an American merchant marine. and
that we then may have favorable ac-
tion before the congress gets too deem
ly engaged in the pressing legislation
which must be considered in the short
session"

In Damage Suit

Minot, N. D., March IA De-
murrer has been taken by the city
of Minot to, the complaint of Wanie
S. Fahler, as Administrative of the
state of Leo S. Fahler, deceased, VS..
the city of Minot, in which the plain
tiff asks $4,000 damages for the
death of her husband, who was killed
by whiskey runner I'M Minot more
than year ago. Fahler was police
man for the city of Minot at the
time.
The city demurrer is taken or the
grounds that the workmen's compen-
sation act does not cover policemen;
that policemen is not a workman,
j. e., an employee, that his duties are
not employment within the statutory
definitions of those terms as defined
in the workmen's compensation, act.
This is said to be the first time
that the question of the terms of the
workmen's compensation act as re-
CARDS covering policemen has been,
raised in North Dakota, and consider
able interest attaches to the forth
coming decision of Judge George H.
Moellring as to whether or not a po-
liceman, performing duties for the
city, is an employee or workman.
The city of Minot, together with
the cities of Fargo and Grand Forks
has refused to pay the premiums ask
ed by the workmen's compensation
bureau, the city holding that police
men and firemen do not come under
the act, as the city is not an employ
er so far as policemen are concerned.
If Judge Moellring's decision upholds
the plaintiff in her cause of action,
City Attorney Coyle stated that the
city will appeal to the state supreme
court in advance Of trial. It is ex-
pected also that the plaintiff will ap-
peal to the supreme court of the

whether by the repeal Of archaic
statutes or the enactment Of modern
ones. If the antitrust laws keep the
farmers from endeavoring scientifically
to integrate their industry while other
industries find way to meet modern
conditions without violating such stat
utes, then it would seem reasonable
to find way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The
law should operate equally in fact. Re-
pairing the economic structure on one
side is no Injustice to the other side,
which is in good repair.
We have Travelled a long way from
the old conception Of government as
merely defensive and policing agency

the statute books are filed with acts
for the benefit Of shipping, commerce,

Some Aspects of the
Farmers Problems
BY BERNARD NJ BARUCH
(Reprnted Atlantic Monthly
(Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly
By BERNARD M. BARUcH

Of their inability to meet mortgages or
to pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ming to form pools, inaugurate farm
ers' strikes. and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at
them the charge of being seekers Of
special privilege. Rather, we should
ask If their trouble is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
if for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;;" but is it
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges;
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with the buyers of their products
and with other industries?
