Resolutions adopted in a mass
meeting held here to discuss the
price situation, declare that this
method had proved effective for labor
unions and should be adopted by the
farmers. The resolutions we're ORDER

crs' organizations.
The resolutions and finding were in
substance as follows:
"Whereas serious condition con-
fronts the farmers of the nation due
to the mal-adJustment of prices as it
is now well-known and our country
can not lo,fg remain half competitive
and half-subsidized as it now is;
"and Whereas our own farm econo'-
mist of the State Agricultural Col
lege, Rex E. Willard, has found after
a careful survey for the past three
years that it cost $1.49 per bushel to
raise wheat while the farmer is re-
ceiving right. now at the local sta
tions on an average Of 85c for all
wheats
"and Whereas there is asN great a
loss in raising other farm products
as wheat with the exception of dairy
products and wool
"and Whereas the labor unions dur
ing the late war and at the present
time use the strike as q club to force
the public to come to their terms re-
gardless of the suffering public,
Therefore be it resolved that all
farmers and producers of livestock,
grain, cotton, etc. unite to refuse to
market any of their products except

and at such time as the majority Of

Governor Pinchot Successful!
in Getting Miners Lead

OPERATORS FOR THEM
Still Are Numerous Points to
be Cleared up Before Set

MAKE WAGE CONTRACT.

Harrisburg, Pa, Septs 8.-A wage
contract whose completion and; ratitl-
cation will insure resumption of
Anthracite mining at an early date
was more than half written at noon
when operators and millers temper
arily adjourned negotiations.
Completion of agreement has been
reached on all issues. major and
minor, which have separated the two
groups.
John l.. Lewis, UNION president,
notified members of his committee
to hold themselves in readiness for
assembly this evening to take the
first step in giving union approval.
Union negotiaters dropped an effort
to get a greater wage increase than
for mine laborers under, the Pinchot
settlement term. ~
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 8.-Negotia-
tions looking to an end Of the mining
suspension in the anthracite. fields
were still under way today. Cover
nor Pinchot was successful late yes
terday in getting the leaders Of the
miners union to agree to all Of the
terms of the proposal he made for
adjusting the main points in the con-
troversy which had shut sthe mines
down.
Mine. operstors had given unqualt-
fled agreement to the same terms,
but there still remained the necessity
Of getting . settlement on several
union demands considered Of minor
|importance. ss.sc -
There 70 every prospect that terms
for getting the mines back into pro-
duction will be agreed upon, 1t was
said.
There would be a necessary delay
Of perhaps 10 days in resuming min
ing operations, even should adjust
ments of all terms be made, union
spokesmen pointed out. The negotia-
tions would result in the preparation
of a tentative contract which would
be placed before convention of min
ers' delegates from the anthracite re-
gion. The convention is yet to be
summoned.
Governor Pinchot's proposal that
the men be given flat increase Of
10 percent, that all bat eight-hour
day arrangements be abandoned, that
the union be recognized and that
principles of collective bargaining be
accepted in the industry was accepted
by the miners scale committee.
The scale committee authorized its
officers to drop the demand for
"check-on collection of dues" and
likewise the demand for an increase
Of more than 10 percent for 100000
day workers in the field.

TALK FINANCE CHANGE

The property of the Bismarck
Water Supply company will not be
taken over today by the city of Bis
marck, but since September 8, is the
! date of the expiration of the period
of 80 days in which the city agreed
to take over the plant from the com
pany, it may yet be taken over Mon
day and be within the spirit of the
agreement, it is understood.
Difficulties have arisen with the
bond houses which purchased the i'm
provement warrants to be issued in
connection with the purchase of the
plant and the, financing Of the addi.
tions. C. L. Young, city attorney
an M. H. Atkinson, city auditor, re-
turned at noon from St. Paul where
they have been in conference. with
George 'P.> Flannery, administrator
of the Alexander Mckenzie estate
and president of the water company
Mayor A. P. Lenhart, who also was
at the conference, will return later
Mr.. Flannery, it was reported, is
still anxious that the deal be carried
through and that the sale of the
water plant be made to the city as
agreed upon, and he appeared will
ing to take any steps possible to
meet the exigencies of the occasion
arising from the actions of the finan-
cial houses. Mr.. Flannery, however
explained that there, are bond hold
ers' over whom he has no control
other than on the original basis and
he, therefore, must con1er with them
if there is to be any change in the
arrangements in the shape Of an
agreement to take over the plant at
at later date.
The $225,OO bonds sold by the city
to the. financial companies were in
turn sold by them very quickly to
Twin City investors. The entire is
sue was taken "like hot cakes" as a
bond man expressed il. The money
for the bonds was paid to Mayor Lem
hart and Auditor Atkinson in Mime
apolis SO that the city has gone a
large way in its financing Of the
water plant.
The bond companies, because Of
their experience in selling the city's
bonds so quickly and the recognized
fine value Of Bismarck securities,
caused suggestion to be advanced
that in lieu of the improvement war
rants the city issue additional bonds,
probably $2O0,0O0 bonds, which they
would be willing to take at lower
rate Of interest than the improves
ment warrants. It is thought $1,000
a year interest might be saved by
this method.
This afternoon a conference was
being held between city officials and
leading citizens to 60 over the situa-
tion. While it appeared there might
be some delay in completing the con-
tract with Mr.. Flannery there APP
peared to be in the minds Of the city
officials the belief that it was q ques-
tion of method only and that the
matter would be disposed Of finally
in due time. There was no question
raised rs to the procedure Of the
city under the statutes. It was said.
