BURLINGTON AND WILTON
UNION MINERS JOIN STRIKE

The threatened strike Of union coal
miners of the United States became
effective April 1>when> Isl, 900 an
thracite coal miners and 450, 900 btu
nlinous miners walked out. John L.
Lewis, international president de-
clares that the strike is 1000 eff
cient.
The union coal miners in North
Dakota are all out on strike. At
the Washburn Ignite mine at Wilton,
235 miners did not report for work
Saturday morning. There was no
disturbance and the miners and en-
ployers' representatives were friend
ly. The miners put things in good
shape around the mine before quitting.
All Of the union miners in the
Burlington mines quit, about sixty
in all, and the only mines now being
operated are those being worked by
the operators and their families. The
John Perlichek mine is being operat-
ed by Mr.. Perlichek and two sons.
The Larson, Midway, Hunnnewell
and North side Perlichek mines are
closed down.
The strike will not effect the Minot
coal supply materially, the. local coal
dealers say.
The Pioneer Fuel Co. declare they
have their storage capacity filled and
are getting Ignite coal from the non
union strip mine at Columbus.
The Max johnson Fuel Co. gets its
coal from the nonunion mine at Co.
lumbus and is receiving its normal
supply. RI. 81.
The Northern States Power Co. and
the Russell Miller Milling Co. of Minot
have received their coal exclusively
from the Washburn mine, and they
will now have to look elsewhere for
their supply. The Minot Flour Mill
Co. has received about half it's supply
from the Washburn Coal Co..
Minot residents will have to use
considerable coal during April but
they will have no cause for worry.

Efforts Being Made to Reopen
Sawyer Banks

Efforts Being Made to Reopen
Sawyer Banks
Thorwald Mostad, receiver of the
Sawyer State Bank, was . in Minot
Saturday. Mr.. Mostad states that
the effort which has been made for
several weeks to reopen the bank,
has not yet been abandoned and it is
possible that one of the two Sawyer
banks that were closed, will be re-
opened within short time.
When the Sawyer State Bank
closed, Ole Saastad' we'll known
farmer, had nearly $5O,000.00 on de-
post in the institution. The state
banking board questions whether
Saastad's claim will come under the
state guarantee act, inasmuch as the
money instead of drawing SO, is said
to have been actually drawing 7k%.
There has never been a decision on
this point by the state supreme court,
but such decision will eventually
have to be made. An effort is being
made to get Saastad to permit his
funds to remain in the bank in or
der to reopen it and it is possible
that he will decide to take up twenty
or thirty thousand dollars worth Of
$40" paper.
The First State Bank of Sawyer
is also making an attempt to reopen.
Mr.. Hilliboe, formerly of Minot, re-
turned from Minnesota recently and
has held number of conferences with
Mr.. Tofflemire, former cashier of the
bank, and with some Of the deposit
tors.

John J. Nedreloe returned Saturday

Mr.. Nedreloe says the weather was

roads 50 muddy that autos cannot run
on the country roads. Hard times
have struck that section of Wisconsin.
