 At no time shall any distribution of any part of said fund be made which shall directly or indirectly aid, assist, or encourage the carrying on of any labor warfare or controversy, or for 1 the purpose of relieving unemployment which directly or indirectly results from strikes or stoppages of work, or arises out of any conflict or warfare between employees and employers, or their representatives, nor shall any sums be paid at any time or distributed to i any employees who at time of such unemployment are engaged in or par ties to any strike, stoppage of work, or other form of labor warfare or con- trOversy."
 Also: Neither the manufacturer nor the union shall have any right, prop erty or interest in the fund. Nor shall the fund be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution, sequestration, seizure, or other process by reason of any claim on behalf of any person whatsoever against either the manu- facturer or the union, or against any contributing employe."
 ''The first step taken by the union in the direction of unemployment in- surance." Mir. Hillman said. was the action of the Boston conference held four years ago following the recom- mendatiOn of the General Executive Board of the Amalgamated instrueting it's officials to carry on an agitation among it's membership for such a form of insurance and to make it the sub- ject matter of negotiation with the employers.
 Conferences were held in Chicago and Rochester in 1921 which resulted in the insertion of the following clause in the Swear agreement entered into by Hart, Schaffner and Marx and the Manufacturers Associa tiOn of Chicago in May, 1922: The union also serves notice that it may at the same time ment fund in good faith.
 Agreement Runs To 1925
 This clause really is part of the provision for an annual opportunity to take up the subject matter of wages under the agreement, and on March 1, last year, under it, we took up this matter again with the manufacturers, Following this a settlement was made with reference to wages and a tentative agreement embodying the principle of unemployment insurance.
 The unemployment insurance agree ment is effective until April 50, 1925, but may be renewed and extended by mutual consent. of the contracting par ties. The agreement terminates really at the same time as the present agree ment between the Chicago manufac- turers and the Amalgamated governing wages and working conditions.
 Tt is also provided by the agreement that if no new agreement is entered into when the present one expires, fur ther payments by manufacturers and workers shall cease, but the entire amount then remaining shall be dis. tributed by the trustees to the per , sons who were contributing employees at the time the agreement expired Such \ funds. according to the agreement, shall be distributed within five years from the date of the termination of the agreement"

 < Following Governor Parker's an- nouncement last week that the sextette need expect no clemency from him, preparations for the execution May 9, ehree years and a day after the kill Ing of Gaines, have gone forward steadily. The gallows has been erected at Amite and all other arrangements have been completed.

ASKS PARENTS
OF COUNTY TO
AID IN TEST
Birth Registration Records
For the Months of June,
July and August Asked

Parents of children. born in Bur-
leigh county during June, July or
August, may decide whether the
North Dakota state health depart
ment will succeed in having the
state admitted to the registration
area, federal bureau of vital statis-
tics.
The state health department, or
ganized on a new basis after the last
session of the legislature, started to
improve the birth and death regis
tration in North Dakota, DR.. A. A.
Whittemorc holding this was the
first need of Il department. The re-
gistration must be complete If the
health department is to be recognized
by the federal government and given
its aid and cooperation. Birth and
death statistics DR.. Whittemore says,
are vital in health matters, and also
of practical value in establishing
births and deaths in court cases and
in many other ways.
DR.. Whittemore applied for admit
tancc to the federal registration area.
1t is seldom a state succeeds on its
first test. A representative Of the
federal department is now in Bis
marck checking up the accuracy and
completeness Of the state health Of
ficc. He sent out hundreds of cards
to parents of children, having secur-
ed the names through independent
sources, and asked them to return
cards with information about the
births. This information is checked
against the records in the state
health office The test is now in
progress. 1t started fine, but fell
down when it reached Burleigh coun-
ty, because only II out Of 200 par
ents returned the cards to the feder-
al representative. DR.. Whittemore
knows. from his own knowledge, that
the registration in Burleigh county
is complete. but credit cannot be CIV
en- unless the parents return the
cards.
The matter is regarded as Of much
Importance by him, and he hopes that
the Burleigh county parents will look
up the cards they failed to answer
and Immediately answer them, or it
they became parents during the three
months named and have lost their
cards, to write the facts to w. H.

STATES HOME
BUILDERS IN.
FINAL STAGES
Liquidation to be Fairly Com.
plete by the Time Legis-
lature Meets
PROBLEM UP TO SOLONS

The state legislature may get Il
report on which it will be able to
take final action in the liquidation
of affairs of the Home Builders As
sociation, state enterprise which
build a few over so houses in the
state. Liquidation of the associa-
tions affairs, authorized in the 1923
session, is nearing the final stages.
The legislature probably will be
confronted with the necessity Of
providing an additional "Home
Builders deficit tax" or extending
the present .05 mill levy for a longer
period than the contemplated four
years. The tax imposed by the last
session was expected to yield $780,
600 a year and wipe out the deficit
of the organization in four years.
However, the deficit may be larger
than originally contemplated, and
interest charges on money borrowed
from the Bank of North Dakota have
been annually almost half of the
deficit tax.
But six houses remain to be given
to original home builders, sold or
retained by the state, and these
probably will be disposed of soon.
Five Fargo houses, those built for
Alfred knutson, John 4. Wood, Mrs.
NJ. l.. Hallett,' Fannie II. johnson
and j. B. Adams, were surrendered
to the state association by the per-
sons for whom they were built, and
arc for sale at appraised value. The
Industrial Commission has wound up
affairs involving IA houses in the
last two years.
The Home Builders Association
owes the Bank Of North Dakota
$1S2,O0U, and annual interest charges
arc $4,000, according to John Gam.
mons, secretary Of the commission
The Industrial Commission. by the
end of the month, probably will turn
over to the bank, loan contracts
cash and the amount of the deficit
tax on hand approXimating $250,00O
The loan contracts draw the same
rate of interest as the bank loans.

EFFORT BEING
MADE TO OPEN
BANK AT REGAIN
Charges Against o. Il. Void
Dismissed - Explanation
Filed by E. S. Allen

The case against o. II. Void, for
merly an officer of the dcfunct
Farmers tSatc Bank of Regan, in
which Il charge of receiving depos
its in an insolvcnt bank had been
made. has been dismissed in dis
trict court by States Attorney f. S.
Allen.
Mr.. Void said today that an cf-
fort is being made to reopen the
bank.
The states attorney filed written
reasons for dismissal. of tho case,
saying in part: 81 am Of the opinion
that in this case it is doubtful if a
conviction could be had, the facts
would show that the defendant was
irregular in his methods as an Off
Ger of the Farmers State Bank Of
Rcgan, and received deposits at Il
time when the bank, was in my opin-
ion, insolvcnt, that is, such insolvcn-
cy as is SO defined by the code, but
it would be very difficult to show
that the defendant has actual know
ledge of actual bankruptcy and in
solvcncy, that is, that the assets
were not equal to the liabilities
and the deposits were received by
the defendant not for his own use
but in desperate effort to keep
the bank open. The stockholders
and depositors formed an associa-
tion and appointed a committee to
take steps to reopen the bank and
to confer with the defendant and
see if settlement could be made
with him, and at this time am in
formed by the said committee that
satisfactory settlement has been
made by them with the defendant
and that in all probability the bank
will reopen at comparatively early
date, and that they are willing that
this action should be dismissed, the
complaint in the justice court for
the arrest of the defendant having
been made under instructions of the
said committee. This settlement and
request for dismissal was done with
the approval of the state examiner
and the receiver of said bank, and
they have informed me that l would
be justified, under the circumstan
ces. in asking for u dismissal of the
said action against the defendant"
