WHEATLOADINC
INCREASES ON
BUTTE DIVISION
Y Cars Delivered Tuesday
Nine Strikers Return
to Work.

Orders for wheat cars on the Butte
division of the Great Northern railway
Tuesday reached the highest point thus
far reported this season when elevators
from this territory asked for u emp
ties. The elevators supplied are scat
tered rather generally owe the division,
with the greatest demand coming from
near Great Falls, where threshing is
farthest advanced. The orders were
filled with ears in storage either in
Great Falls or towns on the division
where they had been unloaded.
Despite the increase in the volume of
grain delivered. Great Northern Off
Gals say that there % is apparent
nothing to interfere with the supplying
of cars as fast as they are needed. The
increase in the number of wheat cars
has kept pace with the demand, Off
Gals of the road stated, and it is ex-
pected that blocking of elevators will
not occur with greater frequency than
on other years.
Grain Stacking Helps q
The situation resulting from the
strike of railway shopmen has been
helped TO an extent by the stacking of
grain and the construction of storage
bins on some farms, but against this
is the fact that the division this year
will be called upon to move 1000 more
cars than in 1921.
Eighty cars were received from the
east by the Great Northern Tuesday
noon and Is more are now en- route,
with other strings of empties ready to
be started to the Montana fields. Re
paired cars are being turned out in the
Great Falls shops at the rate of 30
and 40 a day, it was stated at
the Great Northern offices.
The crew in the Great Northern s
Great Falls roundhouse is now Is per
cent above normal, it was announced
but the shop and riptrack forces are
still below normal. Regular additions
to the working forces in the shops are
being made and officials of the road
declare that the number of strikers who
are transferring from n location to
another is steadily increasing. Fifteen
former Great Falls shopmen are re-
ported now to be working at Alliance.
Neb., and others at different points
in the western territory.
Strikers Return
Great Northern officials announced
that nine strikers returned to work
at the Great Northern shops Tuesday
morning, the largest number yet to
break away from the old union here at
one time. Several men have returned
singly and in pairs on former occasions.
Those who reported for work Tuesday
were given positions as supervisors.
The car situation on the Milwaukee
line between Great Falls and Harlow
ton had developed shortages at three
points Tuesday, but it was said at the
offices of II. r. Wahoske. division
freight and passenger agent, that early
relief is expected. Two elevators at
Highwood and one at Ware were
blocked Tuesday morning. but cars
were delivered to each of the Highwood
houses during the day.

invidualty l may say that a large
number of citizens have known me
personally during that time and will
vouch for the truth of the state
ments following. I am not a poll
tician, but a business man. No per-
sonal ambition has caused me to
file as a candidate for state sena-
tor. 1t is because / feel that in the
present condition of our state gov
eminent, with heavy and ever in
creasing taxes, / can serve the tax
PAYERS interest in the state legisla-
ture as efficiently as any other,
that l am induced to solicit the
nomination for state senator on the
democratic ticket. l am a large
tax payer in this county, and Of
course if / can be instrumental in
reducing taxation and helping TO put
bases I will be helping myself as
well as other taxpayers. This is
not a wholly selfish aim however.
am in favor of spending less
money for state government by re-
ducing the present excessive pay
roll of the state capitol. l am in
favor of reducing the number of
laws and the statute book instead of
increasing them by adding new
laws with expensive administrative
machinery for carrying them out.
| am in favor of a square deal in
all classes in the community and
special privileges for none. If

self TO exercise the same deal in
carrying out the public business

to hold my promises to my consti-
suents in this regard as sacred as

For United States Sena-
tor, Republican Ticket

We submit that Congressman Carl
". Riddick is the best qualified man
before the people of Montana today
for nomination and election TO the high
office of United States senator.
There are many strong arguments in
his behalf: His congressional training
and acquaintance at Washington. His
energy and record for real service to
the people of Montana. His sound
republicanism and his good common
sense. His freedom from domination
by special interests. He is one of the
few actual farmers in congress. His
wholehearted support of President
Harding. His ~tireIess work for farm
ers. His close attention to duty and
prompt response to every request made
of him. Republican leaders everywhere
indorse him and his record. Leaders
of farm movement like National Pres
ident Howard of the Federal Farm
Bureau. and Senator Capper Of the
Farm Bloc indorse his record and rec
omnend him.
Thoughtful men and all over
the state regard him with favor, and
the logical man TO vote for. He stands
for the right. and is a hard worker. If
Montana voters will promote him to
the senate. he will render real service
to the people Of Montana. whom he
loves. and who love him for his earnest
straightforward, honest endeavor.
Carl Riddick's election will mean
| support to President Harding. 1t will
be a distinct victory for the farmers
of Montana. 1t will be in the interests
of all the people. Primary election
date, Tuesday afternoon. August %.
Vote for Carl Riddick for Senator on
the Republican ballot on that day.

HOLDING PLAYERS IN BONDAGE.
If Minors Do Not Recognize "Selectiye
System

Washington. ID. G. Feb. . Minor
league organizations which are refus
ing to recognize the ''seleetise system
for advancing their players to the
major leagues. as advocated by those
two organizations, are violating all
ethics OF Amerieanism and holding
their players in bondage" United
States Senator George Wharton Pep
per. framer Of the major and minor
league agreements and rules, declared
here to-day.
1T appears TO me that those
leagues which are opposing the selec-
tive or draft system are looking more
to their individual interests than they
