MISS0URIANS
VOTING. TODAY
Democratic Race for U. S.
Senator Is Chief Feature
(By the Associated Press)


St. Louis, Aug. Missouri polls
opened this morning for the first pri-
mary election in which women of the
state have taken part.
The weather prediction is fair and
hot. Nominally, because of the har-
vest season, the rural vote would be
light, but political leaders are look
ing for fairly heavy ballot because
of the activity of the women voter&
and the bitterness with which the
campaign has been waged.
The Democratic race for United
States senator, between Senator
James A. Reed and Breckenridge
Long, third assistant secretary Of
state, under President Wilson has
overshadowed every other issue.
There are four parties in the fiela
Republican, Democratic, Socialist
and Socialist-Labor. The Republican
ticket alone in st. Louis is six feet
long and carries che names of 21O
primary candidates and SO commit
teeman. Under the strip ballot sys-
tenn in use the vote. must draw a line
through the names of all candidates
not voted for, instead of putting =
cross in front of the names of the
men of his choice. In test it too<
a newspaper man who knew who he
wanted to vote for, seven minutes TO
cross out the other names.

CAPITOL P. O..
is PROPOSED
Would Facilitate Mail De.
liveries to Capitol

The, postal department has begun
investigation of a proposal to estab-
lish an adjunct Of the local postof-
flee in the state capitol here, accord
ing to word received by Postmaste~
Reed.
It is probable, that if the plan is
adopted, one or two men will be sta
toned regularly in the capitol to re-
ceive and dispense mail, and to route
1t for outgoing trains. There is held
to be especial need for such a
branch to handle registered mail.
The proposed plan would also, it IS
said, make it possible to get out much
of the state capitol mail on local
trains Nos. and 8, in the afternoon
and to make No. 4 III the evening with
much mail which now cannot be
routed in time for it. s

RANCHERS ARE
OPTIMISTIC

Shields, N. D., Aug. Farmers
and ranchers west of the Missouri
river have every reason to feel op-
timistic these days, after long per-
iod of depression.
Cattle have never looked better.
The west-of-the river country has
never seen such a heavy growth Of
grass. Haymaking will continue un-
til snow flies. The only drawback
to great supply Of winter feed is
that help is scefce.
For several winters past the
ranchers have been short of feed.
Hay was shipped in last winter at
prohibitive pricef. but the herds
were kept alive. -.
With good prospects for other
rough feeds besides grass the farm
ers and .ranchers once more feel
prosperous. r."

10000 CARMEN
QUIT CHlCAG0'S
STREET LINES
Three Million Workers Hunt
Improvised Methods of
Transportation
(By the Associated PressJ

Chicago, Aug. Twenty thousand
n.otormen, conductors and guards
on surface and elevated lines went
on strike at o'clock this; morning
and the greater part Of the working
portion of Chicago's nearly three
million persons, was. forced to seek
improvised transportation.
As usual all rolling stock avail
able, including every variety of
wheeled, pullable, pushable or motor
lied vehicle was inadequate and the
brunt of the traffic fell on "shanks'
mare" Thousands started early
afoot and from we'll before dawn
streets and avenues leading to the
business and manufacturing districts
seethed with pedestrians. Streets
in the downtown district with the
calling of the strike, automatically
became one-way thoroughfares. But
even that action by the police de-
partment wass not enough to avoid
tangled jams of traffic.
Hundreds of jitney busses from sur
rounding towns were on the job with
the break of day. They were sum-
moned days ago by Charles c. Fitz-
morris, chief Of police, when strike
appeared to be inevitable.
Negotiations have been under way
between the surface line workers and
the surface line owners for several
days after posting Of an order. for 9
wage reduction Of approximately II
per cent. %
There was no statement from
company officials as to when an ef-
fort to resume traffic would be made.
but the Chicago Herald and Exam
iner in a copyrighted news story
published today said the strike
meant war to the finish between
the lines and the employees. The
newspaper said the advance guard of
an army pf $4,000 potential new en-
ployes had been III Chicago three
weeks and that plans had been per-
fected for an attempt to restore
traffic quickly.
City authorities have prepared to
use at any moment the entire po-
lice force of 5000 men, and it is un-
derstood certain units of the 1lli-
nois national guard have been or
dered to be in readiness for duty.

st. Paul, Minn., Aug. IAN ad-
ditional 500 returns of questionnaires
were received by Ivan Bowen, state
fuel administrator this morning,
completing approximately one third
of the survey of the fuel situation
in the state. b., ....-.
The latest returns, Mr.. Bowen de-

ably in excess of previous estimates.
None of the largest dealers in the

Word received from Governor
Nestos today informed the Mime
sofa administrator that 1900 ques-

North Dakota coal dealers to learn
the present supply and the approx
innate needs in that state. Governor
Nestos believes that considerable out
of the Dakota needs will, be filled by
Ignite coal, mined in that state. He
has also advised that 100 carloads a
day can be sent to Minnesota if suf-
ficient labor can be secured to do
the mining.

THREE FORCES
ARE NOW BUSY
AT new BRIDGE
Asphalt Crew and Road Con-
structiOn Crews on Both
Sides of River Working
Contractor on West Side Road
Loses Time and Materials
Through Rain

Three separate forces now are en-
gagged in completing the Missouri
river bridge and the road approaches
on each side, with the work in, full
blast. ..-'
The work on the west side of the
river has been delayed by heavy
rains. The contractor is working in
sandy soil. Hard rains in the last
several days have washed away mucn
Of the grade thrown up on the first
section Of the road from the bridge
to point 1000 feet west, causing
considerable loss to the contractor.
Haggart Construction company has
completed laying the asphalt surface
on the bridge roadway on the first
two spans of the bridge and probably
will finish the job within a couple
of days. This will mark the last Of
the work on the bridge proper, but
the delay occasioned on the road on
the west side by washouts and some
work needed on the east side may de-
lay the use of the bridge.
Contractor Burnstad has machin-
cry on hand and is plunging into the
work of building the road on this side
of the bridge. He has sublet the
concrete culvert work to William
Noggle of Bismarck, who also is
starting in this work today. Mr..
Burnstad said today that the dirt in
which his men will work is for the
most part fairly moist and loose so
that fast time ought to be made, in
building the road.
A great deal of machinery was
brought here for the job, somt of il
being on the road for week.
Within a few days it is expected
that not less than 100 men will b,
working on the bridge and its road
approaches. Removal of the dirt
from the Northern Pacific viaduct is

STRIKE LEADERS MEET

(By the Associated PreSS)
Chicago, Aug. Executives of the
six federated shop crafts went into
conference today to consider Pres
ident Harding's proposals of set
tlement of their strike. Chairman
Ben Hooper of the labor board was
present at the meeting. He was met
at the train on his return from
conference with the president and
escorted to the conference by A. U.
Wharton, labor member of the board
and B. M. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts. Mr.. Hooper said that orig
inally he had no intention Of being
present at the conference but had
agreed to do so when urged by Mr..
Wharton and Mr.. Jewell. He said
he had no message to transmit from
President Harding and refused to
discuss the strike other than to say
that he did not plan any immediate
session of the labor board in connec-
tion with it.
At Chicago were most of the nine
ty central chairmen of the shop
crafts workers and several other
leaders, including B. NJ. Jewell, pres
ident of the railway shopmen,
Employers department Of the
American Federation of Labor and
Timothy Healy head of the striking
fremen and oilers. Mr.. Jewell pre-
sided. Chairman Ben W. Hooper,
chairman of the United States Ia
Dor board was also on hand and it
was understood he bore authority to
speak for President Harding in case
it became necessary. The New York
meeting included executives of l4S
leading railroads.
The presidents plan, union otti-
cials said included restoration of
seniority rights Of strikers, subject
to the rights Of men who stayed at
work. Old employees who remained
on the job would gain such addi-
tional rights as they acquired during
the strike. As men at the foot Of
the seniority lists are the first laid
off in slack times, many workers who
struck would lose assurance Of
steady employment. Men hired by
the roads since the strike began
would be given only rights acquired
by them and would not have rights
above old men who went on strike.
Other provisions of the peace plan
were that the shopmen would accept
the recent wage reductions of the
railroad labor board pending re-
hearing by the board and that they
would agree to abide by decision OF
the board in future. The railroads
were to discontinue farming out"
of shop work. The question of ma
tional and regional adjustment
boards to expedite settlement of la
Dor disputes would be discussed fur
ther.
Reports of violence were confined
to one from Columbus, Georgia,
where a party of negroes working in
the Central of Georgia shops were
attacked by group of whites and
one negro beaten and the arrest OF
a strike leader at Amarillo, Texas,
on a charge of assault with intent to
murder in connection with the stab
bing of non union worker.
