The claims and counter claims of the opposing factions in Mexico still make impossible any exact appraisal of the prevailing situation. Each side is claiming successes for its arms and each is denying as untrue the official declarations of the other.
 As an instance of these conflicting claimsT The revolutionists assert that they have been victorious over the federal forces in the chief area of hostllities east and southeast of Mexico City and now are in a po- sition formally to advance upon the capital, while from government sources comes the statement that not alone have the De La Huerta troops been defeated, but are being driven back toward Vera Cruz from which point they began the advance with Mexico City its chief objective.
 There is practically no news re- garding the situation In other parts of the republic than the zone. be- tween the capital and the Gulf of Mexico. Such reports as are creeping in across the border are badly de- layed.

Great Storehouse Of Raw Materials Awaits Exploita-
 ton, Says D. H. Killeffer

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o.--A glowing picture of the south as a great store house of raw materials, awaiting only exploitation to make it one of the richest industrial sections of the world, is painted by D. H. Killeffer of this city, who is associate editor of industrial and engineering chem istry the official journal of thf American Chemical society.
 Sugar growing, the manufacture 0 SIX without the aid of the sllkWorn, and the utilization of oat husks to make furfural, a raw material of widening uses, he cites as examples of southern industrial opportunity
 "The recent national exposition of chemical industries" said MT. Killef- fer, made strikingly evident the possibilities of development. Coal and iron, and scores, even hundreds, of less well known minerals were shown
 in their relation to each other and to industries present and prospec- tive.
 The south has clays from which the finest porcelains. can be made, and others from which refractories of the most resistant type are manufac- tured. It has ores of almost every metal known, copper, zine, lead, man ganese, chromium, nickel cobalt, aluminium and others of less import ance without end; minerals useful in S stones, granite, and so on, as well as minerals which can be made useful by simple processes, barytes, phos- phate rock and limestone Gas distinct from it's use as a building stone.)
 Near these exhibits of raw mate
 rials was the exhibit of one of the southS large power companies. Pow CT is the magic touch which brings industries to life. In few other sec
 tions of our country are there greater possibilities in the production of pow CT than in the south. Coal Is there in abundance, but more important still in the great undeveloped power of the South's rivers. Now that we have two essentials of development, what use has been made of them and what use could We make of them in further development

 Four Raw Materials Used.
 "A company was established in the south during the war to manufacture ferro-phosphorus for the use of our steel mills in meeting the wars de-
 mands. Ferro- phosphorus is an alloy lfof iron and phosphorus made from iron ore, coke and phosphate rock in an electric furnace. and is most l valuable in the manufacture of cer- 1 tain steels. Here was an industry utilizing four of the south's great raw | materials, iron ore, coke, phosphate rock and hydroelectric power, and turning out these materials in a form of much greater value than they pos sessed originally.
 However, the end of the war | brought the market for this product to an end and the enterprise was threatened with extinction. The inn

 We find the chemist busying him self with the growing of sugar in Hawaii. It was found there that strips of paper laid over the rows of cane as planted would prevent the growth of weeds and that the cane itself would pierce it's way through the paper and grow much more lux uriantly than before. But it was not until the chemist came on the job and developed way to make the kind of paper needed from the waste bagasse of the sugar mill that it's cost was low enough to show a handsome profit But why not go further and apply it to cotton. corn, or even wheat?

CLAIMS THAT
BANQUET is
NOT INVOLVED

S. S. Mcdonald of the Workmen's 8
Compensation Bureau has taken cx.
ception to n few statements in the
Tribune Friday relative to his ar
rest for alleged violation of the
eight hour law. He claims that he is
not chairman of the compensation
commission and also that he did not
issue warrants for any violations of
the eight hour law in connection with
the Frazier banquet. His complaints,
he said, covered prior infractions of
the law.
States Attorney Allen when inter
viewed said he did not recall just
what alleged violations of the law
applied to- in the case of E. G. Pat
terson. He said, however, that Nc
Donald had requested a large num-
ber of warrants involving Bismarck
people and that h. refused to issue
only small proportion Of the ones
asked. Whether the Frazier banquet
was involved in any of these re-
quests Mr.. Allen could not say posi-
lively. He declared that he meretS
approved a few warrants prepared
for him.

LABOR BODY

ON WEST SIDE
Bismarck Trades and Labor
Assembly Takes Action
on Proposition

A resolution supporting the bond
issue fer a new west side school
has been adopted by the Bismarck
Trades and Labor Assembly,
whcih also has gone on record as
opposing house bill No. 1863 which
provides for abolition of many
school holidays. The resolutions
follow:
Whereas there is an urgent
need of new school house on the
west side of this city.
"For the reasons Of the great
distance the small children must
go to the present schools and also
for the reason of the crowded con-
dition of all our present school
buildings.
And whe- eas the prices of labor
and material are now at a lower
level than there is any chance of
them going to again for at least
some time to come, there fore the
ltax payer will get his moneys
worth if new school is built this
year.
Therefore be it resolved by The
Bismarck Trades and Labor AS
sembly in regular meeting that we
urge all Union Men and their
friends tc vote for the issuing of
bonds fer new West Side School
at the special election to be held
February 20, 1923.

Against II. B. 1863
A resolution protesting against
House Bill 1853.
Whereas The Legislative assem-
bly, of the State of North Dakota
has before it for passage a bill
regulating school holidays known
as House Bill 163 which makes
Labor day a school day;
And whereas Labor Day is a
National holiday established by an
act of congress, and is a holiday
sacred to labor;
And whereas under House Bill
163 the city school term will have
to open on Labor Day the first
Monday in September. and will
thereby deprive the teachers from
observing Labor Day and will keep
children from taking part in La
bors celebration, which they al
ways take prominent part in.
"And whereas house bill 163
provides that an hour of school
time shall be given over to exer-
| cises suitable to such holidays. But
whereas school will be compelled
to open on Labor Day no such ex-
ercises suitable to the spirit Of
Labor Day can be held, for there
will be no time before hand to plan
such exercises.
"And whereas said house bill
does not respect the one Interna-
tional holiday the World has, which
is Armistice Day.
Therefore be it resolved by the
Bismarck Trades and Labor As
sembly in regular meeting, that we
protest against the passage and
approval of House Bill 1853.
Be it further resolved that a
copy of this resolution be sent to
the state senate.
