Billings.-An agreement has been
signed between the United Mine Work
ers of America and the Montana Coal
Operators association officially ending
the bituminous coal strike for the state
of Montana. Resumption of work in
the mines will take place Immediately.
The agreement was reached after -four
hours of conference.
The settlement Is a duplication Of
the Cleveland agreement and calls for
the resumption of work in the mines
at the wage scale and the working con-
ditions in effect at the time of the
strike. March 81, 1922. The contract
was signed by members of both parties
md is for one years duration, or until
March 81, 1923.
1t is expected by both operators and
miners that the mines in the state will
be in full operation within the next

mary work to be lone in certain mines,
the normal production will be reached
by next Monday. Mr.. Condor predicts.
Mr.. Condor. speaking for the United

Chicago.-The wrecking of expires
train No. 30. enroute from New York to
Chicago, with the loss of two lives
neal Gary, Ind, resulted from the de-
liberate removal of % spikes from one
of the rails, Michigan Central railroad
officials A $1,000 reward
was offered for the arrest of those re-
sponsible.
The wreck took place about n mile
east of Gary, while the train, not car
rying any passengers, was travelling at
a speed estimated at more than 80
miles an hour in an effort to make up
lost time.
When the heavy engine struck the
rail from which the spikes had been
removed, 1t ploughed along On the ties
FOR some distance and then turned
completely over. The two enginemen
were dead when removed from the
wreckage.
The cause of the wreck remained a
mystery for some hours because of the
confusion at the scene, and because
of the fact that the rails and ties had
been ploughed up and tossed about
like matchwood for hundreds of feet.
Eight cars loaded with merchandise
followed the engine into the ditch the
others remaining on the track.
An investigation by Martin Quinn,
special agent of the road. revealed that
while the roadbed had been ground
into an unrecognlzable mass from the
spot where the train had left the rails,
enough remained at the place where
the engine had been thrown from It's
course to furnish mnte evidence of the
work of train wreckers. Everything
ahead of the gap, however, had been
destroyed.
Railroad men here said q great deal
of trouble has been experienced at
Gary in recent weeks, ties having been
piled on the tracks on a number of oc-
casions.

New YOrk.-Four surprise factors

thousand day laborers.
3.-Assertion by L. f. Loree, presi-

were "all bunk"
Announcement that several
brotherhood chiefs are enroute from

settlement Of the shop crafts strike
which they will submit to rail execu-

The decision of the steel corpora

was hailed by the strikers MS a point in
their favor. Rail heads refrained from
discussion of the possible effects of

RECIPE FOR FLY REPELLENT
Cattle Can Be Greatly Relieved From
Pests by Application Of Coal
Tar Mixture.

Cattle can be greatly relieved from
flies by spraying In the morning be-
fore going to pasture with some fly
spray. For this the following home
made spray is efficient and cheap:
-Four and one-half quarts coal-tar dip,
four and one-half quarts fish oil, three
quarts coal oil. three quarts whale oil.
n and one-half Quarts oil of tar,
three pounds laundry soap.
Dissolve the laundry soap in water
and mix the other ingredients thor

HARDING KEYTOBONUS;
FOE HOPE IS IN VETO
sursum PROPOSAL Of Half Cash and
Half Certificates is Killed
BY Senate

notwithstanding senate moved for
ward so rapidly in Its consideration of
the soldiers bonus bill that some lead
ers regarded passage of the measure
as more than a possibility. Opponents
were understood to be disposed to let
the bill take its curse at this time,
in the belief that President Harding
would veto it. Should he do so, they
planned TO center their fights against
its passage over his veto.
There still was, however, no official
information before the senate as to
the executives views, other than that
contained in his letter read to the
house last March just before that body
passed the bill. The president then adj
vised that either find a means
of financing the legislation or postpone
its enactment, and some friends of the
bill as well as opponents believe he Is
still Of that mind.
With the committee changes cleaned
up, Senator Bursum, Republican. New
Mexico, called up his substitute, pro-
posing half cash and half certificates
of Indebtedness for the veterans, but
this was rejected without a roll call
or any discussion.
Senator Bursum protested, saying
there should be some debate on an
amendment which he believed would
save something like 5000, 900, 900 to
the government. BY unanimous con
sent, action on the substitute was re-
considered.

TIME TO sow SWEET CLOVER
Best Plan Is TO Plant II in Winter or
Spring With Nurse Crop or Dur
ing Midsummer.

1t Is no generally recommended
that sweet clover be sown in corn in
the fall. A better way is to sow it
either in the winter or spring with a
nurse crop oil during midsummer on a
firm seed bed free of other crops. BY
having a compact seed bed and giving
a heavy application of seed, 1t is
possible that a good stand a be
secured in standing corn hut much
depends upon the weather. An added
advantage results from cutting the
corn Off for sllage, since this gives
the small plants more sunlight. There
Is great risk, however, In sowing N
kind of seed In corr after the last cul'
tivation because of the usual dry
weather period that follows. Some
farmers make a success of this sort of
seeding but ordinarily 1t is n better
policy to sect in another way If that is
possible.

COLLINS TIES UP MIL
LIONS FROM De VALERA
American Banks Barred From Paying
Over to Rebel Leader Any Of
Gift Subscriptions

New York.-A temporary injunction
restraining banks in which are deposit
ed moneys collected for the Irish re-
publican cause from releasing them to
Eamonn De Valera or any of his agents
was signed by Supreme Court Justice
Burr, on application of attorneys rep
r~esenting Michael Collins and other of
ficers of the Irish free state forces.
1t was announced that approximately
$2.300.o00 was tied up by the order.
Service of complaint on DE Valera and
the other defendants was ordered to be
made through the insertion of adver-
tisements in papers in England and
ireland. Most of the funds involved
are said TO be deposited with the
Guaranty Trust company and the Har-
rlson National bank of New York.
The main contention for an i%njunc-
tion raised was that ireland now is a
nation; hat De Valera is against the
present government and is a fugitive
and that he is not entitled to the
money.
If De Valera or his forces were
granted the present funds in American
banks. the free state representatives
contend. 1t would he devoted to the
carrying on of further revolution
against the present government and

able civil war in a country which has

The comparative value of a number
Of different silage crops for steer feed
ing was recently worked ou by the
department in cooperation with the
Louisiana experiment station. In one
instance similar lots of cattle were
fed a ration OF c~ottonseed meal and
blackstrap molasses in combination
with corn silage, corn and Biloxi soy
bean silage, sorghum silage, sorghum
and Biloxi soy-bean silage.
The best gain vas made by the
steers fed the straight corn silage. but
1t was shown that the capacity of a
farm for fattening or wintering cattle
may be greatly Increased by the use
of heavy-yielding silage crops such ms
sorghum and Japanese cane. Imma-
ture Biloxi soy beans mixed with corn
or sorghum were not so satisfactory,
but with late-maturing crops like Japa-
nese cane these soys gave very good
results. Sorghum silage md japanese
cane and Biloxi soy-bean silage are
practically equal in feeding value for
steers when supplemented by cotton
seed meal and molasses.

CUBA ASKED TO LOCK

State Department Tells =.
Republic

Washington. - Representations have
been made to the Cuban government by
the state department. looking to steps
to prevent further smuggling of Chi
nese and Europeans from the island
republic into the United States.
In a note transmitted through the
Cuban legislation here, the American
government is understood to have
taken the position that from the num-
Der of aliens admitted to Cuba and the
fact that there is said to be no en-
ployment available there for them. 1t
appears that entry to Cuba is oh
tanned upon the belief that eventually
the aliers can be Struggled into this
country.
Approximately 10000 Chinese and
about 10000 aliens from all over
Europe are now in Cuba awaiting op-
p~ortunity to enter this country sur
reptitiously, in the belief of Secretary
Davis. Constant smuggling of aliens
into the United States, many of whom
"are ~bolshevists, communist and I'M
desirable clJzens,' Mr.sDavis said, con-
stitutes a menace to the government
and should be halted without further
delay. If an effective remedy cannot
be applied at once through voluntary
cooperation between foreign govern
ments and the United States" he said,
'then congress should Immediately en-
act a compulsory registration law to
be applied to all aliens within the Dor
ders of this country.
