pose New Plan to Get Good
Glass of Workers. 8

a "surprisingly low rate" for harvest
hands from Minnesota terminal points

method of bringing the best possible
class of harvest workers into the
state, Governor r.. A. Nestos and the
farmers organizations of the state are
collaborating in a request to the peo-
pie of North Dakota that they write
to their friends in Iowa. Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Wisconsin telling them Of
the needs in the state, Of the wages
to be paid and the time; 1t would be
best to arrive in the harvest helds. :
This method Of. procedure, tits be-
lieved will gain a far better. class or
harvest and threshing. labor than
would be possible through any other
method OF reaching distant points.
It will also be possible to afford a
widsr distribution over the state by
this method, instead of having con-
gestions at one or two points.

trial of the Home Building association

Robert Blakemore, former manager
Of the association, who was to arrive

Wednesday upon the testimony of W.
who had been employed by the asso-
citation to visit the houses and make
an estimate Of the amount Of mater
ial used in them. Schraeder did SO,
and his plan was discarded.
The reason for throwing out his
plan, Schaeder said was that he did
not account for all the material
bought.

ment involving reopening Of the
mines under state or federal protec-
ton will be tested.
Responses were yet to come from
several governors to President Hard
ing's appeal for cooperating in in
suring the nations fuel supply, but
which officials were gratified over the
responses thus far received. Only
Carolina, of the nineteen governors
who had replied today refused abso-
lutely the cooperation the president
asked. it was pointed out by officials.
Most Of the operators who came to
Washington to participate in the
settlement conference called by
President Harding. but which failed,
home today bearing with them the
presidents invitation to reopen the
mines with the labor that applied for
work.
John L. Lewis, chief of the United
Mine Workers and leader in the
strike. was preparing to leave Wash
ington during the day after having
been in Washington continuously for
nearly a month in conferences with
government officials and with the
operators.
'The mine workers attitude is
understood" said Mr.. Lewis before
leaving. "Our people are determined
to continue the strike until the prin-
ciple Of collective bargaining and
past procedure in the industry ! are
recognized"

Wants State Control.

wants SlAGe
Lansing, Mich, July 2O.-CBy The
Associated Press. .)-Governor Alex j.
Groesbeck in telegram prepared for
transmission to President Harding to-
day asked the sanction of the federal
government for a plan to take over
and operate Michigan coal mines un-
der state control. The message asked
whether the federal government
would join with the state in taking
; over and directing resumption of op-
erations in the mines:
The govern or's decision to seek
federal approval of his proposal was
spent in unsuccessful effort to bring
about agreement between the miners
and operators in the Saginaw coal
district. 1t followed deefat of two
proposals he offered the miners and
operators.
The first was that Michigan miners
be allowed to adjust their differences
and return to work independent Of
the national affiliations. which was
refused by John L. Lewis, interna-
tional head of the mine workers.
The second was the refusal of the
miners themselves to throw the
weight of their endorsement into his
plea for separate peace in Michigan.
No Real Grievances.
The governors personal invitation
and conferences at Saginaw yesterday
showed. he declared, that neither the
workers nor employees have any
major grievances and that the men
are out only because workers in other
states are out. 1t showed Also he
said, that there is no i'll feeling in the
district.
He believes. he said. that the state
could man and operate the mines
