CONGRESS- NOT

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
Thinks that Country Is Bene-
fitting by Present Long
Recess of Congress

On Board u. S. S. Henderson with
President Harding, July 2l.-Presi-
dent Harding, it can be declared pos
itively, has no intention of calling
Congress in session in advance Of its
regular session in December.
While the chief executive himself
has made no direct statement those
in his party who reflect his views
say he has no idea of needing de-
mand for an extra session made by
Senator Brookhart, Republican,, Of
Iowa.
Mr.. Harding, these associates of
his say, feels that there is little or
no need for any immediate assembl-
ing of the federal legislative body
and furthermore that the leaders in
Congress together with the public
agree that the public is benefitting
by the current recess of Congress.

Interference Had Been Pre-
vented by Injunction Is
sued by Federal Court

With the accounting department
Of the state railroad commit ssit\,
agreeing that the North Dakota In
dependent Telephone Company and
the Northwestern Bell Telephone
Company are not making an exces-
"ive profit from rates charged In
their exchanges, which are in the
principal cities of the state, it was
expected today that the state rail
road commission would take steps
to either permit the injunction is
sued by the federal court to be made
permanent or enter an order fixing
the present rates as legal rates for
the companies.
Accountants and engineers for the
commission, testifying yesterday
afternoon in the commissions gen
eral investigation into phone rates
in the state, said that records avail
able showed that the companies
were making little over percent
on their investment in NoEth
Dakota, placed at more than $6,0OO,-
600.
Representatives of the companies
also maintained their revenue vas
approximately 4 per cent, based on
the book value of the plants. and
giving no consideration to the re:
production cost of their property.
1t was stated by representatives
of the companies, however. that
they were not seeking increases in
rates at this time. Under the public
utility law such companies are per-
mitted to- make an 8 percent return
which has been held reasonable by
the commission.
The commission also. heard testi-
mony as to alleged discrimination
between companies in the "othet
line charge"--where q phone call
goes over wires of two companies.
No decision has been rendered.

PROMISES ACTION
Says State Will Uphold the
Laws and Make Ii Safe
For Harvest Workers
PROMISES ACTION

Threats have been made that
men who enter North Dakota har.
vest fields to work will be roughly
handled by the I. w. w. unless they
buy the "wobblies" red card and
agree TO strike on an l. w. w. call
Governor r. A. Nestos said today.
The full power OF the state will
Do thrown behind workers in the
fields to protect them from out.
RACES Governor Nestos said, in 4
statement as follows:
Complaints have reached my Of
fee that men who come to work III
the harvest fields are being threat.
cned with bodily harm and that
those who are coming will be put
of the trains by the l. w. WIS. un-
less they buy, red card and agree
t. abstain from or quit work when
ever directed to do so by the l.. w
w. headquarters in Chicago. II
would seem that such a condition
should be impossible in q civilized
country in this day and age.
Must Respect Rights
II feel that in North Dakota the
legal rites of every person, wheth-
er resident worker, transient la.
borer, or employer. must be re.
spected and safeguarded, and the
laws Of the state obeyed and en-
forced. The right to organize and
strike or to refuse to work Is sure
" no more sacred than the right o.
other workers to secure and hold
employment when they find wages
satisfactory and desire to work
and no person should be permitted
to interfere witch the workers or to
threaten those who are engaged In
legitimate employment in this
state with bodily harm or the de-
struction OF their property.
"Sheriffs and local police officers
will be expected to protect the
men who come here to help save
our crops. at a fair wage. against
these threats or intimidations and
will be expected to enforce the
laws of our state without fear and
without favor. These officials may
depend upon the full cooperation OF
the state administration and the
support of the whole power OF the
state in maintaining the legal
rights of our people and in enforc-
ing the laws CT our state. They
will have the backing of the state
in every lawful step that they may
take in enforcing the laws.
Want Others Here
I'VE want the farmer boys who
come to our state from Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois. and South
Dak0ta to help us harvest apd
thresh our crops and who do not
wish to join the I. w. WIS. to know
that they do not need to do 80 and
that they will be safeguarded IN
their right to refuse by all the pow
er the state possesses. The farm
ers need good workers, not loafers.
and are willing to pay we'll for the
right kind Of work, but neither the
fcrmer nor the state need the la
borers who profess and follow the
plans and purposes of the'I. W.
WIS by compelling laborers to
Join their organization and to use
threats and violence In subjecting
the farmers and workers to their
wiu."

Parral, Mexico, July 2l-The
body Of Francisco Villa, the Robin
hood of Mexico, indisputably the
most interesting character of con-
temporary Mexican history, a
strahHe ,),mllination of v'horse
sense" and fiery impulse, lies in
the city hall here with thousands
Of persons today viewing it.
Always heavily armed as part
of his military strategy he learn,
ed in a hard school Of experience,
Villa met death yesterday about
4 o'clock on the outskirts of Par
raj, between Longs house and the
Guanc Junta bridge.
Colonel Miguel Trillo, Villas
secretary, and Rosalio Morales,
one bodyguard and one bystander
whose name has not been learned,
also were killed. One Villa guard
was wounded.
The attacking band totalled
seven, the bandits unlucky num-
ber. The asSailants were on foot
while Pancho's were mounted hav-
ing left Parral on happy-go
lucky journey to his ranch at Can
guillo, Durango.
A dozen bullets pierced Pan
cho's body and four crashed
through his head. Six shots found
their mark in Trillo.
Flee To River
The assassins fled to the river
bed and sped off on horses which
had been hidden in the river bed
near the bridge.
General K. Martinez, command
ing detachment of 100 federal
soldiers, captured three of the
attacking seven late yesterday a
short distance from here. General
Martinez. who hurried here from
Chihauhau City, for personal in
vestigation Is holding the men,
acting under orders from Presi-
dent Obregon. The general said
the assassins used 30-3O rifles.
Military detachments have left
Jiminez Dallende to trace. the mur-
derers. r
Federal troops today have gone
to .Panatillo in anticipation Of
possible disorders at the Villa
ranch. Affairs affecting Villas
estate admittedly are mixed and
even some proposition is openly
made here that the ranch may re-
vert to the state.
Troops Present
Troops from the command of
General Jose Escobar are bound
here from Torreon to help in the
pursuit of the assassins, who to-
day remain unidentified.
Two theories are advanced by
officers here in the investigation
One is that deserters from Villas
guard committed the killing. The
other is that Of revenge.
Villa, the mountain man with
ability to ride, shoot, and swear
with a peculiar complex, the great
weakness Of which was an uncon-
trollable temper, had many enc
unexpectedly hundreds Of men
had sworn to take his life-and ac-
cording to his friends he had no
enemy so bitter as Francisco Her
rera and not without cause. Villa
is claimed to have practically ex-
terminated the Herrera family,
prominent in Mexico. Maclovia
Herrera, general over the left
wing of Villas 1914 army, was
mysteriously murdered. Meloher,
another general, his brother, Jose
de LaLuz Herrera, his father, and
a younger Herrera, were executed
on Easter morning in 1915 when
they were led to a Parral grave
yard. Francisco, the only male
member of the family left, is q
government official at Gomez
Paipzio Durango, not far from
here.
