mandei. of the United States Marine

enough. when told of a letter sent by
the San Diego County Federated
Trades and Labor Council to Secre-

a recent speech by the general.
81 don't want to hear any more, ="

Blood Pressure Very Low.
Gen. Butler, in discussing his infect
ed teeth, told reporters his blood press
ure was dangerously low" and that
he would be in the hospital for several
days.
Gen. Butler also refused to discuss
the situation arising from his charges
of intoxication against Col. Alexander
Williams, commander of the 4th Regt-
ment of Marines
There was no word from higher au-
thoritieS of the Navy Department as

ton that Col Williams had appeared
in an intoxicated condition in q San
Diego hotel last Saturday night after
Gen. Butler had been guest of honor
at a dinner party given by Col. VIII
ans at his home a few hours earlier.
The letter from the trades council
criticized a speech made before the
American Legion here by Gen. Butler,
in which the latter told of his expert
enceS as director of public safety in
Philadelphia Gen. Butler recalled in
his address his instructions to police
there to "shoot to kill" and raids
made under his direction. The letter
declared that his remarks on this oc'
casion We're ''anarchistic and intiam.

PRESSMEN ACCEPT
PROPOSAL IN PART
Agree to Arbitrator's Wage
Scale, But Reject Plan to
Extend Working Hours.

The arbitration plan Of Justice J. A.
Van Orsdel of the District Court OF
Appeals to iron out the differences be
tween the International Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants Union, I/o-
cal No. /, and the TypOthatae or
America has been accepted by the
Washington organization as far as the
wage scale Is concerned, but that part
of the decision calling for more than
a 44-hour week has been rejected.
The local union at o. meeting Thurs
day night, it was learned today, turn
ed down the plan to work later than
noon on Saturdays. acting on the ad-
vice of George l.. Berry, international
president, who in a letter to President
Thomas A. Franklin declared the ques.
ton Of Saturday afternoon working
hours was settled in 1921. The local
union therefore instructed it's men to
stop work every Saturday at II
o'clock.
Wage Scale i'm Effect.
The wage scale proposed by Justice
Van OrSdel, however, now Is in eff
feet. 1t provides an increase Of s per
cent to platen pressmen and per cent
increase in wages for cylinder press
men. The wages of the night workers,
however, were reduced So per week or
more, decided by the wage scale, and
which about equaliZeS the increase in
the salaries of the two forces, ii was
said today by Secretary Frank Helm
Of Local No. l. Justice Van Orsdel
had the matter under consideration
about six weeks, ii was said.
In discussing the matter of Saturday
half holidays, Justice Van Orsdel said:
Iaa ne Ne-
insisted by the closed shop that the
wages for the first four hours on Sat.
urday afternoon should be fixed on
the basis of the regular weekly scale.
This is strenuously contested on the
part of the union, insisting that the
four hours on Saturday afternoon
should be treated the same as over
time for work performed more than
eight hours on days other than Sun
days and holidays.
Disagrees With Union.
Il am not in full sympathy with
the contention of the union in this
respect. There is little support in
reason or justice for the Saturday
half holiday, since the days labor has
been reduced to an eight-hour basis.
The professional man, the business
man, the farmer. whose income de.
pends upon their individual efforts
can not confine themselves TO an
eight-hour day and meet with any de-
gree of success; and just why labor
should be favored in this particular
| and in addition granted a weekly half
| holiday, is not apparent. 1t occurs tC
| the arbitrator therefore. that the rate
now allowed for the first four hours
| of overtime on Saturday is out of rea
son and should be reduced"

Hone for Dismissal Of Case.

For the best interest OF all con
cerned there is a general hope mere
in the Capital that the Secretary OF
the Navy will find the Butler charges
inadequate and therefore dismiss the
whole unpleasant incident as rapid!
as possible.
Marine officers are confident that
Col Williams brother offlcers al
San Diego will rally TO his support
with aftidavits which will contradiG'
those obtained by Gen. Butler. They
believe the junior officers who were
present at the dinner and the dance
which followed will defend Col. VII
liams. despite the fact that In doing
so they may incur the dlspleasure
of Gen. Butler, who is higher rank
ing officer.
The situation brought about by Gen
Buffers surprising action. after beins
the honor guest of the officer ne is ac'
cusing Of drinking not wisely, but TOO
we'll. is felt by the higher-upS OF the
Marine Corps 10 be in all respects the
most damaging blow ever struck al
the morale of an organization Whlcn
always has been extremely proud OF
Its tradition and its records or nghting
on land and on sea. The Marines al
ways have prided themselves on De.
ing first In the fray. A regiment OF
Devil Dogs" was in the very hrst
division to be sent to France and Its
members today wear the fourragere
bestowed upon them by that grateful
country, for gallantry in action.
Score Lack Of Tact.
Officers OF all the services sta
toned here feel that Gen. Butler
could have handled the situation
which confronted him at Coronado
Beach without seeking to bring dls-
grace and possible dismissal from tht
service of a fellow officer who but
short time before had been his hos'
in his own home. 1t is felt Gen
Butler could have made his displeas
ure at the serving of cocktails very
plain and could also have Withdraw
from the party before 1t proceedeo
from the Williams home to the
Hotel Coronado for dancing.
These officers further say that the
circumstances Of the case are such
that they are confident no board OF
brother officers ever could be fount
which would convict Col. Williams
The corps really and truly is dunn
founded by the whole proceedings. L
seems to feel that Gen. Butler. as
result of his two years as the heat
of the police department in Phila
delphia, had developed into a po
liceman, and had lost touch with th'
ethics and traditions OF the old corp:
TO which he returned when his reslg
nation as safety director of the CIT!
Of Brotherly Love was demanded %!

.BUTLER'S CHARGES
DOOMED TO FAIL
Service Circles Certain Case
Against Williams Will Be
Pigeonho|ed.
BY ROBERT II. SMALL.

While no official, word comes from
the Navy Department, pending re-
ceipt of the formal papers in the case.
there is a very general feeling in
service circles here that Brig. Gen.
Smedley Buffers charges of intoxica-
ton against Col. Alexander Williams
of the Marine Corps will be pigeon
holed for want of proper substanti-
alton.
Furthermore, the Marine Corps and
its officers are deeply chagrined over
the unpleasant criticism the incident
at Coronado Beach has brought upon
the Devil Dogs" 1t Is realized, OF
course, that the criticism is directed
at Gen. Butler and not at the corps
itself. but the fact that Gen. Butler
has been so much in the limelight as
marine during the last few years
makes officers here believe that the
entire corps will suffer from the latest
publicity brought to it by the fight
ing Quaker"

DAUGHTER OF
MINOT DOCTOR
BEING HUNTED
Has Been Missing Since
Thursday Morning.
Started Out on Hike

Minot, N. d., Sept. 4.-(AP)-
In spite Of tho fact that the coun-
try surrounding Minot is being
thoroughly combcd, DR.. and Mrs.
+. =. Wheelon today had no clue
to the whereabouts Of their l5-
ycar-old daughter, May5elle, who
has been absent from her home
since early Thursday morning.
DIR. Wheelon is leading an inten-
sivc search which began yesterday
morning, when the girl failed to
return home after it was believed
probable that she had stayed away
with friends the previous day.
An employee cf the Great North
ern stockyards reports having seen
a girl hiking east, near the stock
yards, about 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, but there the trail is lost.
Maybclle had prepared to 60 on
a hike with group of girl friends,
and when last seen was CARRIED in
grey flannel shirt, blue sailor
breeches, and light green slicker,
in preparation for the trip. The
hike was called off, because some
Of the girls were unable to 20.
Maybene left her home, however,
about 8 o'clock, and it was not un-
til that evening that her parents
discovered there had been no hik-
ing party.
1t is believed by DR.. and Mrs.
Wheelon that the young girl set
out for hike by herself, when the
other girls could not GO, and that
some misfortune has befallen her.

Operators Are More
Polite Than Ever:
Service Is Faster

Did you think the operator at
the local telephone office was
showing you an extra bit of po-
likeness the past week or two
when. after YOU had given her the
number desired. she sweetly re-
piled, THANK you?"
If you did you were much dis
illusioncd, for the operator now
makes the same reply to every
other user Of the telephone as the
result of an order recently put in
to effect by the Northwestern Bell
Telephone company.
The neW order is designed to
speed up the handling of calls and
it is claimed that each call can be
put through in from one to five
seconds faster than was possible
under the former method, wherein
the operator repeated the number
asked for and secured your o. k.
before making the connection.
Unless the operator is not posi-
tive that she has heard you corr
rcctly, under the new ruling, sh.
will ask you to repeat the num-
bcr, hut If she is confident that she
has heafd you distinctly, she says
THANK yCu," and at the same
time has the connection made
which results in the saving of
time.

ROBBERS GET
GOOD HAUL AT
FOXHOLM BANK
(Contiaucd from page one. }

(Contiavcd from page ons.)
I'm white" The ycgg suggested that
O'Leary buy cigarettes with the 50.
Take All But q Cents
One Of the yeggs attempted to open
the safe after O'Leary had given him
the combination and, failing, ordered
O'Leary to do SO.
In looting the bank. the two ycggs
took all funds with the exception Of
q cents, which was left in Il drawer
in "A counter.
The two yeggs first made their APP
pearancc after Mr.. OLcary had
driven his automobile into his garage
near the bank building and residence,
after entertaining MIR. and Mrs. r.
w. kann, also Of Foxholmc, at cards
during the evening.
As Mr.. O'Lcary was stepping back
wards out Of the car, flash light
was thrown on him. and he was order
cd to throw up his hands. Thinking
that it was a friend. O'Lcary did not
obey. and the delay brought an order.
"You stick up your hands. or I'll bat
out your brains" and Mr.. O'Leary
promptly responded after looking
down the barrel Of a pistol which had
been placed against his forehead.
Silence Is Demanded
Ono of the yeggs backed O'Leary
out Of tho garage, and tho second rob-
her then made his appearance.
OIcary was ordered to drop his
hands and to place them behind his
back, and his arms were then bound
together. He was then warned not to
make an cutlery, to proceed toward
tho residence. and to inform his wife
to maintain silence. One Of the rob-
hers followed closely behind O'Icary
to the door Of tho house. and O'Lcary
shouted to his wife. telling her what
the robbcr had commanded him tot
say. As soon as Mrs. O'Lcary APP
peared ut the door to ascertain tho
reason for Mr.. O'Leary's actions, the
other entered and. taking her by thc
arm. marched her to chair which
he turned toward wall and ordered
her to sit down.
Mr.. O'Leary was also compelled to
sit in chair in another part Of the
room after one of the gun men went
through his rockets. searching for a.
weapon, and taking $3.50.
Robbers Get Shotgun
OLeary was then asked where his
shotgun was and he told the pair that
it WAS upstairs.

their constituents and to the people
generally cannot be over estimated.
In Congress
There is hardly a congressional dis
trict in the United States in which
the voters cannot nominate and elect
forward-loOking representative. 1t
is doubtful, II ithera ~ is, ..R state in
which senator cannot be nominated
and elected who will be true to the
people. The only obstacle will be the
failure Of the wage earners to vote for
the most acceptable candidates.
Members Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives should be elected who will
refuse to permit three men to die
tate what legislation shall be consid-
cred and voted upon. II is a dictator
ship repugnant to our democratic in
stitutions and those responsible
should be emphatically rebuked
through the ballot boz.
It is not question of party poll
tics. 1t is a question of the man and
the principles they represent. 1t is
a question of which candidates most
truly measure up to the requirements
Of the people.
Primary Laws
Labor also should be warned that
CHc conspiracy " Icpcdi V'ieNt pii-
mary laws will be fatal to the NOM
nation Of friendly candidates.
1t is my hope that every wage
Garner will faithfully register and
vote in the November election. But
these votes must be cast for candi-
dates who will be loyal to the people.
If loyal to the people they will be
loyal to labor. as labor never asks
for ANYTHING that is not good for the
people generally.
Therefore let us all declare that we
will launch an organization campaign
this Labor Day greater than that Of
any previous year and that VIC will
vote for candidates that we know will
he faithful to the wishes of labor and
the people.

The municipal swimming pool will
close tomorrow, according to H. E.
Collins, high school athletic director
and swimming instructor at the pool
during the summer. The season has
been y very successful one, Mr.Collins
states. While there were no figures
available as to the total number Of
people in the pool during the sum-
mer. he says there were more than
1000 in the pool on one particular
Sunday, which was one of the hottest
days of the summer.
About $685. was taken in during the
summer, between June % when the
pool opened and Sept. 1. Besides
that there were 800 free cards issued
to tourist visitors and IS Masons and
their wives made use Of the pool dur
ing the grand lodge sessions here
without charge. A number OF farm
boys from the several camps conduct
ed by county agents in Mandan and
bismarck were also given free use of
the pool.

the campaign to organize every wage

Speakers at Labor Day demonstra-

new members.
Union Gains
Unions that have adopted this
policy have gained in membership.
Members Of unions who have relied
upon the officers alone to accomplish
results have not been SO successful.
The present stable conditions en-
joycd by the organized wage carncrs
of America were not voluntarily CON
coded by employers. They are the
result Of organization, of years Of
struggle and sacrifice, until collec-
tive bargaining became the rccog-
nizcd vehicle through which it was
possible to maintain industrial peace.
No reason can be advanced why
every union should not be 100 per
