PLANS TO ABOLISH
CHANCELLOR FAILS
Denny's Measure to Eliminate Office
of Chancellor Killed in the
House.

Supporters of the movement to abol-
ish the chaneeIlorship of Montana's
higher educational institutions were
routed Tuesday morning in the lower
house of the Eighteenth legislative
assembly, when Denny's bill, house
bill No. 40. cutting off the chancel-
lor's head, was killed by a vote of
SO to DO. The victory of the admins
tration forces was decisive, advocates
of the Denny measure even failing
to get across resolution for its print
ing.
Buckets of oratory, splashed on the
floor of the house of Representatives,
following the adverse report on the
bill abolishing the chancellorship by
the committee on education, were Of
fered by lawmakers from several Sec
tions of the state in support of the
bill. These orators attacked the chan
cellorship on the grounds that the Of
flee was unnecessary and had failed
to accomplish its purpose.
Denny and Maury of Silver Bow,
Goodman of Broadwater and Scharni-
kow of Powell spoke for the proposed
law, while Gullidge of Prairie, chair
man of the education committee, Nc
Cormick of Flathead, Andrus of Gus
ter, Lease of Cascade and Pope of
Missoula, attacked Denny's bill.
In asking adoption of the commit
tees report, Gullidge, speaker pro tenn
of the house, declared that it would
seem that Governor Dixon would be
forced to veto the bill, if it reached
his desk. He gave a review of the
work of the chancellor since the In
ception of the office y Montana and
declared that hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars has been saved by the chan
cellor for the state.
Mr.. Gullidge referred in his talk
particularly to the menace of educa-
ton lobbies, which he said had been
common IN this state prior to the es-
tablishment of the chancellorship. He

COAL MINERS STRIKE
HAS BEEN AyERTED
Miners and Owners In Bituminous
Fields Reach Agreement to
Replace Old Contract

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The sub
committee of bituminous coal opera
tors and labor union chiefs consider
ing a new wage agreement to replace
that expiring in the tri-state competi-
tive field April /. reached an agree
ment today.
The new agreement will be sub
mitted tomorrow TO the whole con-
ference for ratification. If this is
forthcoming the probability of a strike
will be definitely removed.
Michael Gallagher, an Ohio opera
tor and joint chairman of the sub-com-
m1ttee, declined to make public de.
tails Of the new agreement, other thar
to say that it involved no vital changes
IN the terms of the present contract
1t was generally conceded the min
ers had withdrawn their demand fol

tors had to concede to win this poin
remained secret.

DUSSELDORF, Jan. 23.-The Ruhr
see-saw halted momentarily today
while Germans and French waited for
news from Mayence.
French general headquarters be-
Eeved that conviction and imprisOn-
ment of the magnates might mean
the calling of a general strike
throughout the Ruhr. Workers in
the Thyssen plants at Essen and
Muelheim, who recently declared they
would strike If their employers were
not released, held up their action un-
til the results of the trial should be-
come known, and it was thought the
general temper among the working
population of the valley might find
expression in a strike il the indus
trialists received jail sentence.

GOOD TALKS given
BY ROTARY MEMBERS
Social Session of Tuesday Brought
Out Many Suggestions for Com
ing Years Work.

Members of the Bozeman Rotary
Club enjoyed a social session at their
MONDAY luncheon on Tuesday. No
special speaker had been selected for
the session, so there were a number
of short talks made by members in
which the duties and work of the or
ganiZation were outlined. A feature
of the luncheon consisted of a num-
Der Of selections played by the mein-
bers of the Tavern Orchestra of Bill
lings. The musical program was par
ticularly pleasing, all the members Of
the club expressing delight at the
privilegt Of hearing them.
Carlisle Kenyon acted as chairman
of the meeting, calling upon a number
OF members for short talks and
stories. Several amusing stories
were told, these being interspersed by
serious talks. Dean Hamilton was
first called upon to offer suggestions
for work to be done during the COM
ing year by the club. He expressed
the belief that the club should not
attempt any activities that were
greater than could be accomplished.
He also advised against the club do
ing or attempting to do work that
properly came under the administra-
ton of other organizations.
Care of crippled children and as
sistance in providing aid to those who
have not had the opportunity to re-
ceive medical attention was urged by
the Dean. "0ne of the outstanding
works of the Rotary clubs throughout
the world has been that of lending
financial assistance to children whose
parents are not able to give them the
advantage of surgical treatment.
Many crippled children can be, aided
and the Rotary club Of Bohemian can
well afford TO devote sexne energy TO-
ward that work" the Dean said. In
this city there are some children who
can be greatly benefited at the pres
ent time, through surgical attention;
deformities can be corrected. These
should be sought out by the club and
assisted.
Dean Hamilton stated there wers
many calls upon the club for assist
ance in work which the club shouls
not take up. II shoald have the cour
age 20 reject any proposals coming d
| it from those who ask assistance
when the request is made. Not tha

brewers, and denied that he had not

The call for withdrawal of the
British troops which was raised IN
some quarters when the French first
went into the Ruhr, again came into
prominence today. Although the de-
mand was not yet general, withdrawal
was seriously discussed as among the
steps which Great Britain may be
forced to take in order to avoid be-
coming involved in a menacing situ-
alton which the majority opinion here
insists thas nation must keep out Of.
The comment thus far has been en-
