Both Miners and Operators
/ Are Now Striving to Obtain
. Public Sentiment
RAIL UNIONS PLAN TO ,. .,
AID STRIKING MINERS
Real Strength of Nationwide
Coal Walkout Is Being
Determined Today
(By United Prsss)

Indianapolis, April ;3,-The coal
strike developed today into tug of
war with both miners and operators
pulling for public sentiment.
As the nation started to draw on
it's 65,000,000 ton reserve, neither
side will make peace overtures, and
the government is watchfully wait
ing until a fuel shortage threatens
Belief was expressed privately at
the United Mine Workers headquar-
ters here that the strike will contin-
ue until the reserve is depleted to
100000 tons. This appears to be
several weeks distant.
1t was believed that factions high
est in public esteem at this time will
win the fight. When the reserve is
cut to 2O,O00,000 tons the country
will be on the edge Of fuel shortage.
Economic force is expected to be
exerted then to force an Interstate
wage conference. which the mine
owners have refused to consider.
If all Americas mines closed the
present surplus would be sufficient
for over six weeks, but 1900 open
shop mines are producing overtime
Another factor in the situation
which is now being considered is
whether the anthracite miners will
return to work as soon as their rep.
resentatives negotiate new wage
scale in the New York conference
They may stay out in sympathy with
the bituninous workers or may re-
turn to work if anthracite operators
meet demands for q 20 per Gent wage

Many People Confess Difficult
ty in Understanding Com
pick Politics of State
STRUGGLE is BETWEEN
McCUMBER AND GRONNA
Present Holder of Senate Seat
Faces Hardest Fight of
His Entire Career
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN d.
iUnitad Prasa stan Corraspondantl

Washington. April '3-"People
outside our state" said prominent
North Dakotan the other day." some
times confess difficulty in under
standing the complexities of our
state politics. For that matter his
eyes twinkled-"some of US inside
the state occasionally wonder if we
understand.
That seems fitting introduction to
a consideration of the 1922 senatorial
campaign in North Dakota. You can
simplify that contest by saying that it
is struggle between Senator Porter
j. McCumber, sitting member and for
mer senator Alse j. Gronna. But that
does not begin to tell the story, not
even if you sketch the personal rival
ny between the two men, with all that
entails in a senatorial fight.
Both McCumt.ar and Gronna are,
technically, Republicans. But that
statement again brings one up against
North Dakota complexities. When you
say North Dakotam is Republican,
you must specify whether you mean-
A "plain Republican,
An |. V. A. Republican.
A Nonpartisan League Republican.
And in good many cases it is diff
ficult to classify them them strictly as
any one of the three.
McCumber is seeking the regular or
plain" Republican nomination for the
Senate. He also expects the support OF
the Nonpartisan league, which is made
up of both Republicans and Demo
Gratis. Gronna is to have the backing
of the l. V. A. Republicans-that is,
Independent Voters Association---an
organization hostile to the league, al
though Gronna is not hostile to- the
rank and file of the league. The |.
v. A. will fight McCumber. He says
it is because in 1920 he refused to be
party to a plan to deliver the state
to the Democrats. The l. V. A. is
not strictly Republican,, but has DEM
ocratic members just like the league.
McCumber has been in the senate
for four terms, "a years. The fight he
faces this year is his hardest. Gronna
who was beaten in 1920 by DIR. Laid,
the present junior senator, blames
McCumber in a measure for his de-
feat. Therefore, his effort to come
back contains strong personal ele-
ment.
b, The death of Senator Penrose put
McCumbcr at the head of the Senate
finance committee, position of great
power and influence. That will help
him, his friends assert. His work in
behalf of farm legislation and his
stand for the soldier bonus, also are
calculated to aid him, they think.
But admittedly, his fate hangs to
degree upon what the people Of North
Dakota think Of the Nonpartisan
league. If the league can come back
after its recent setback, McCumber
ought to be renominatcd and re-elect-
ed. If the league is beaten, McCum-
Der may go to defeat with it. For
while he emphasizes the fact that he
is Republican, as distinguished from
u Lacquer or an l. V. A., McCumber
must have the support Of one or the
other to win. ... " ~.
Gronna has formally announced
his candidacy, and is busy as beaver
among the farmers.

has been drafted by this body to meet
as nearly as possible the views and
needs Of this CITY,. The commission
type of charter.has already been. brief
ly explained by the commission,
through the columns of the. Pioneer,
as has been also the Mayor-Council
type>o government. This issue con-
tains a brief. description of the, city
manager type, with some of the out
standing arguments advanced for and
against it. ..,..,.
The commission. desires that resi-
dents CT Bemidji show more active
interest in the preparation of chart
er and therefore urges that these
forms be studied as submitted.
L. City Manager Type t .,..
The city manager type known var
iously as the commission manager
plan," business manager plan," and
the Clayton plan,'' retains the idea
of responsible elected commission,
but provides that all administrative
duties shall be- performed by ap-
pointed officers. who are responsible
to an appointed manager. who is: in
turn responsible to the commission.
The commissioners receive little or
no compensation and concern them
selves with the legislative features OF
the city government and in seeing
that the manager. secures economical
and effective admin stration s. , y. Is /.
This type followed I'M logical Sc
quence the, straight commission plan:
It provides that instead Of ELECTED
commissioners having both legislative
and administrative duties, they de-
termine policies and delegate the car
rying out Of the work program to q
trained manager. .ss:sf -. :zs
In 1918 Dayton adopted the city
manager plan, which Immediately
spread: throughout this country. To-
? day there are two hundred and twen-
ty three city manager municipalities
Of which thirty-five are, above 3d.
600 population iands five are above
100000. Akron, the; largest city, has
a population Of 20s, 400. Some forty
cities and villages have changed from
the straight commission to the mama
ger form; and some one hundred and
ninety-three previously operated un-
der modified federal plan.

Bemidji will soon have another

canciess occurring in the ranks; of the
present Juvenile band. The new band
which Municipal Bandmaster C.. o,

to IL years of age.
Parents are asked not to encour-
age their boys to enroll unless they
have shown more than the average
talent. for music, Bandmaster Riggs
does not consider it part of his
duty to work with boys who; are
neither talented in music or ambitious
enough to practice every day at home
in an earnest manner. - n - - ..'

[ rs considered no discredit to a
boy if he chooses no special interest
in music, if he ,manifests industry
along some other line In fact it :;
better for him to work, at this than
to try to learn any more about music
than he should learn while attending
the public schools. ~ ~. -.
The boy, who has musical talent
and is willing to practice as directed
by the bandmaster and whose parents
will be interested to the extent of
seeing that the boy does his daily
practice, will be given all the oppor-
tunity for learning music that is pos
sible for the bandmaster to give
him. -. -.
All boys who have the desire re-

Beginners band in 1920 and who
have not been able to make the Ju-
venile band, will be given an oppor-
tunity to try again. Mr.. Riggs states
that at this time he has about a
dozen new desirable applicants for
the new band and that he hopes and
believes that there will be rs boys
of. suitable caliber to enroll at the
