Berlin an Armed Camp
While the political crisis was on,
Berlin continued an armed camp,
strong detachments of soldiers and
police patrolling the Wilhelmstrasse
and guarding government buildings to
prevent Reds from carrying out
threats of an, attack upon the retiring

Although the retirement of Cuno

DEVELOPMENT
DAY IS HELD !,
REAL SUCCESS
=
Attention Centered Upon
States Resources by Joint
Session Held Here
POSSIBILITIES ARE TOLD

The development day program of
the state legislature Saturday after
noon was declared by members to
be a huge success.
Attention was conferred upon many
possibilities of developing the states
resources.
"Whenever state is dependent
solely upon agricultural resources
there is great danger of periods CT
great depression, "Dean Babcock
said, urging diversification in farm.
ing as we'll as diversified indus
tries.
The State University experiments
have proved the high qualities Of
North Dakota clay, he said. From
native clay has been produced the
best possible type of sewer pipe,
jugs, cooking bowls, electrical clay
product, table and art ware.
"These clays are going to form
great industrial backbone for the
state" he said.
Between 5000 and 1900 tons of
coal had been made into briquettes
at the Hebron experimental plant,
he said, and the briquettes have
stood up under every possible test.
The cost of this method, he said,
is between $500 and $500 a ton, a
substitute for anthracite being pro-
duced which contains 10 percen.
more heat value than anthracite.
ave can work this now on what
l am willing to say for the first time
is satisfactory basis" he said.
Enough gas has been produced
daily at Hebron to supply city Of
$4,000 people, he said.
G. w. Stewart, representative Of
the North Dakota Ignite Coal Oper
ators Association, corrected what he
said was a misconception that the
association had been organized to
raise prices. 1t had, he said, held
down prices. DR.. Coulter of the agri-
cultural College urged the import
ance OF durum wheat. It has, he said,
been used to make flour, instead of
to make macaroni and sphagetti. The
Agricultural College mill, he said,
had produced meal from the dur
UNI wheat which is excellent for
this purpose.
|, He also urged the Importance of
cleaning wheat on the farm, telling
how farmer had raised the grade
Of his wheat from No. A to No. 2 by
this method.
Prof. H. D. Simpson of the Uni
versity of North Dakota said there
was possibility of oil being found
in several anti-clines located by the
department, mentioning as the best
field for development, the one in
southeastern Bowman county He
called attention to the waste of ar
tesian wells, saying that 1T should
be stopped. IS
Governor Nestos urged develop
ment of all resources.
One hundred and fifty children in
vaded the assembly to urge the i'm
portance of education. Robert Clark
of Valley City; Gwendolyn jensen
of the Seventh grade, William Moore
school, Bismarck. and Terrence Hal
loran of the high school, spoke.

Causes of Disruption.

In the future, it was added, the
commission would go into causes of
the disruption of industrial relations
that has so frequently hampered the
conduct of the industry, and the re-
port set forth claims and counter
claims of both employers and en-
ployes in reference to controversies
in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Inability Of railroads to transport
coal produced, it was added, has fire.
quently been suggested was a pri-
mary cause of scarcity and high price
and further investigation to be made
in conjunction with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, was said to
be necessary to allow conclusion
to be formulated on this point as
well as to the labor descriptions.
"Only by investigating money in a
transportation system vastly in ex-
cess Of reasonable requirements"
the report observed on the railroad
aspects, may the people of the coun-
try expect the railroads to make up
within a few weeks the consequences
of the five months suspension dur
ing 1922 of large part of coal min
ing"
In the over expansion of the indus
try, the commission concluded, was
to be found the reason for the fact
that bituminous mines operated only
149 days during the whole working
year of 1921, when no strikes inter-
vened. This condition, it was further
found, had tended to get worse in
recent years, for in 1890 it's figures
indicated that miners over the coun-
try worked 213 days out of the year.
The investigation had early dis
closed, it was added, the existence
of "to many mines and too many
miners"
Seasonal character of part of the
demand for bituminous coal, with
consequent inequality of demand
through the year for services of
workers and of transportation equip
ment, the possibility of storage in
ameliorating these conditions, and
the necessity for studying methods
of improving distribution systems
were points emphasized as under
study. With all of these avenues of
inquiry, the commission, indicated,
1T would deal more fully in the fu-
ture.
