COOLIDGE WORKING
ON COAL SITUATION
OPERATORS PACT WITH UNION
EXPIRES AUG. 81 - NEW
ONE NOT REACHED

Washington, Aug. 14.-The an
thracite coal situation is claiming the
attention of President Coolidge above
all other matters of public import,
as it is felt by those close to the new
chief executive, in view of the pros
pective walk-out of the. miners on
/ September /. The operators and the
union have failed to negotiate new
! agreement and the old one runs out
at midnight August 81.
Among others who have talked this
situation over with Mr.. Coolidge are
Samuel Gompers, head of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and John
Hays Hammond, chairman of the
Federal Coal Commission The at
titude of the new chief executive is
not known He is hearing all phases
of the question, and in all probabil-
ity will follow the course his mind
dictates after all sides have made rep
reservations. 1t has been said that
at present he is like judge on the
bench. pondering evidence, weighing
it, but maintaining strict silence re-
garding his reaction. until action is
taken.
The nation looks to President Coo
lidge for protection against a coal
shortaoe like that of the past winter,
and his own New England is especial
" interested alone this line. Ad-
mirers of the president look to him
to take some such stand as he made
in Massachusetts DURING his first term
of governor in the Boston police
strike This brought him for the
first time before the nation and won
for him reelection by the largest
vote ever accorded Bav State ex-
ecutive. This endorsement of the
Coolidge conception Of maintaining
Flaw and order" caused Woodrow
Wilso~. then president. to send Mr..
COOLIDGE a telegram of emphatic con-
gra citations.
Mr. Coolidge has uledeed himself
to carry ont the policies of the late
President Harding, but he realizes
that the coal situation is his problem.
Hard headed observers say the polit-
cal future of Calvin Coolidge de-
bends on what he does or does not
10 to avert the crisis that will result
f a new agreement is not reached.
Should he be able to bring about
of coal capital and labor
/ long step will be taken toward Sc
curing nominations to succeed him

ordeal is well designed to bring out
il the traveller the qualities that are
the foundation of fraternity and So
ciety, and lead him to reflect on the
stern realities as well as the pleas
ures of life.
While the teachings presented to
those inducted into the mysteries of
the Order of Sheiks have their ser
ious side, the order is known as the
playground of the A. O. U w. and
those who have been initiated value
their memberships very highly and
look forward with never-fagging in

May Earn Fees
To make it easier for Workmen to
join the Sheiks it has been thought
fully arranged that any Workman
may earn his initiation fee by pro-
ducing $4,000 business Insurance
for his lodge, or he may earn part
of the fee by producing part of that
sum. This is splendid inducement
assisting both the candidate and his
lodge and should not be forgotten
or neglected.
This will be an unusual opportunity
for Workmen all over this section
Of the jurisdiction to get together for
a grand good time that will rebound
to their benefit and the good of the !
grand old order. 1t seems certain
that the inducements offered by this
rare occasion will bring out an at

SOUNDS WARNING
TO GAME SOONERS
FARMERS COMPLAIN YOUNG
BIRDS BEING KILLED
WARDENS ON ALERT

Judge Gordon, game warden fol
this section, says that reports are
coming in from all along the river
on both sides that the young chick
ems and ducks are already being
slaughtered by so-called ''sportsmen
from town. The farmers on whose
land this poaching occurs are con-
siderably worked up over the matter
and insist on measures being taken
to stop this illegal practice. The
season does not open until September
is and it is almost unbelievable that
any man who considers himself a
sportsman would go out at this date
and shoot f1edglings off the nest. 1t
is practice that will exterminate
the game birds, besides being grossly
unfair to gunners who wait until the
season is open.
The judge says that for a num-
Der Of years there has been laxity in
the enforcement of the game laws in
this district, but this season addition
al game wardens have been appointed

ocal sportsmen have regard for the
avs and our game birds which are
lone too plentiful, and the judge says
hat if any of the few who are poor

wise should be sufficient.

COUNTY SEAT CASE
COMES UP AUG. 80
STALLING TACTICS EXHAUSTED
CASE BECOMES AT ISSUE
JUDGE SETS DATE

At last the Roosevelt county seat
contest case is at issue and Judge
Horkan has set August 80 as the date
to begin trial of the action brought
by Poplar. This is splendid news to
people of all parts of the county, ex-
cepting, of course, Poplar. The con-
testants have contrived every pos
sible delay but without bettering the
status of their case, either in legal
sense or in the opinion of the public
To have matter of such import
ance to the public held up is not at
all pleasing to the citizens of the east
end of the county who emphatically
expressed their preference on the
county seat question and have not
changed. The needless and senseless
game of bluff has run its course and
matters must come to showdown
that is the feeling of the average
taxpayer and voter.
Costs Heavy
To hold the temporary county seat
nine months has cost Poplar nice
round sum that could have been much
more wisely invested, and will cost
them still more. There cannot be
the least possible doubt of the ulti-
mate outcome of his case and none
can know that better than the Poplar
politicians.
After their reckless course up to
the time of the election, the next
most foolish thing they could do was
to attempt to set aside the will of the
voters, so of course they did it. Their
whole case is a joke and when the
trial is over Wolf Points substantial,
decisive majority will have been in
creased. 1t is. indeed, welcome and
gratifying news, to the whole county,
outside of Poplar, that this case is to
oe settled soon. Wolf Point and her
attorneys are ready.

BARWISE THRILLER

Geo. Barwise, the popular Great
Northern engineer, recently purchas-
ed handsome essex touring car and
is generous with the rides he gives
his friends. Yesterday afternoon
George invited Conductor Holiday,
Conductor Collier, Brakeman Thorn
/ burg and Bazil Zemo to hop in and
take little spin with him. They
started eastward along the county
highway. Just as they crossed the
first culvert which is about half a
mile outside of town something went
wrong, Just what probably never will
be known. George thinks it was a
fiat front tire resulting from leak.
and the garage mechanics who ex-
amined the car say it may have been
the fiat tire or it may have been a
loose spring bolt which could have
worked out and interfered with the
steering gear.
While going at from 20 to 25 miles
an hour the car wavered, wobbled
and shot off the south side of the
grade, literally stood on its head,
fell upside down, rolled over and
righted itself, landing on its wheels
in position at nearly right angle
to its original course of progress.
Mr.. Collier was still in the car with
his head sticking through the crumpl-
ed top and the four other passengers
distributed along the muddy ditch,
in various states of physical damage

POPLAR WAS TAME
WOLVES STILL WILD
NO "POP" LEFT IN STATION BE-
YOND CHELSEA - KING
CAN GROVE NOW

Those pesky Wolves, who were to
be tanned and shown the proper place
to head in, thoroughly squelched and
humiliated for all time, must have a
baneful and hypnotic affect on our
neighbors down the T. R. trail Some
thing did. Something took the pep,
not to say Pop out of them and their
mighty ball team, last Sunday. To
use a classic quotation, "there was
no joy in Bingville" when our
"Casey'' hit the ball. 1t was fine
day for the national pastime and the
stage was carefully set. Poplar had
its improved lineup, Grove in the
box and a reserve pitcher on the
bench. Wolf Point was short only
one of its regulars.
King pitched another beautiful
game, making him ten wins and one
loss for the season. The Wolves were
in normal form on the field and at
bat. and that was enough.
The game was not so hard to watch
as the score might suggest and the
Wolves convinced our friends in the
suburbs that the only real ball team
in these parts belongs to Wolf Point.
The score was Wolf Point 10, |
Poplar /, making three out of A that
we have won from them this summer.
The Wolves started in the first in
ming to go-Tripp, leading off, got a
life on an error at third, advanced on
a sacrifice by Shamley and scored a
minute later when Herstrom at sec
ond erred for good measure. Then
there was no more scoring until the
good old sixth inning, when Mr..
Grove got the derrick and seven runs
came over the plate so fast the scorer
had trouble keeping up with the pro-
cession.
Stanley, to open this inning, walk
ed and scored on an error In center
field, on Merrill's long fly, Merrill
taking second base. Smith then went
1ut at first unassisted, and Crockett
went out pitcher to first, then Busby
walked and Champlin got a hold of
me down the first base line for two
oases, scoring Busby. Then Lenz
walked and on felder's choice King

he whole infeld from Poplar tried
