or not A. J. Brunner shall b re-
called IS fire and police commits

This was determined BY q decision
handed down by the supreme court
late yesterday in the case Of the
state on behalf Of the Clarence NJ.
Gran VS.. the Minot city commission
ers.
In its decision the supreme court
upheld previous decision by the
Ward county district court from
which the city commissioners had
appealed.
Petition Not Imvalid
Commenting on the legal phases Of
the situation, the decision said: I'm
a mandamus proceeding to compel
an election for the recall of one Of
to a petition signed by certain elec-
tors of said city, which petition had
been examined by the city auditor
and by him certified to the board Of
city commissioners as sufficient, it IS
held:
II. That such petition is not rend-
cred invalid because the signers
thereto failed tY add to their sig
natures their ages and length of resi-
dence in the city.
"2. That the board of city COM
missioners mas no power to review
the determination Of the city auditor
that such petition is signed by suf-
ficient number Of qualified electors"
These were the major points rails
cd by the city commission in It's
appeal from the decision Of the lower
court.
Petitions asking Brunner's recall
were filed with the city auditor on
March ls. They were signed by 1880
voters. Later 30 persons withdrew
their names. The city auditor certi-
fAd that the petitions we6a insult
ficient. giving the reason for his de-
cisiOn. More petitions were circulated
and filed and the city auditor then
held that they were sufficient. The
number Of legal signers required was
l,Oi2.
Commissioners Lose Case
The,eupon the city commission re.
viewed the petitions and held that
t0ey were luSullICieug Ou the GROUND
that the age and length of residence
in that city Of practically all the
signers was not given and that many
Of the names were written by per.
sons other than those ,purporting te
have signed them. The city auditor
was instructed to return the petition
TO the persons circulating them with.
out prejudice to the filing Of new
petitions.
The next step was Grams action
to mandamus the city commission
to accept the petitions, which was
sustained by the district court and
appealed to the. supreme court BY
tine city commissioners who now have
lost their case.

CRUSADE AGAINST
FARM RELIEF

Washington. - Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon denounces the Haugen
farm relief bill as a menace" He
says it would raise prices.
On the same day that Mellon issued
his anti-price-raising manifesto the
commercial press carried the an
nouncement from Pittsburgh that the
Bethlehem Steel Company, the Car
negie Steel Company and the Jones &
Laughlin Steel Company had all rails
ed the price of structural steel So
a ton.
Advanced prices of structural steel
ultimately reach the occupiers of
every building in the United States
and thus hit the workers for not only
the So per ton but many times So
in multiplied profits.
The evident psychology of Mellon
is that price raises are menace or
not according to whose prices are
raised.

CO-OPERATIVES

Mason City, Iowa.-The Rochdale
system of cooperative enterprises
and cooperative banks were empha-
sized as necessary institutions for the
protection and advancement of the
farmers and workers by Smith w
Brookhart in an address before the
annual convention of the Iowa State
Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Brookhart pointed out that un-
der the Rochdale system the voting
stockholders have but one vote ra-
gardless of the number of shares own
ed and that earnings on capital ir
Rochdale enterprises are limited to
per cent.
The Rochdale system of co-opera-
ton has been approved by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and is part
of its policy for the protection of the
workers.

Union Asks Better Contract
The proposition presented by the
executive council of the international
organization and the job scale COM
mittee of the local union, and which
has been adopted in the referendum
election, calls for an immediate raise
of So a week and a tWo-year contract,
Al hours to constitute weeks work
for day forces, and 40 hours week
for night forces, or five nights of
eight hours each for the night shifts.
The big bone of contention is the
40-hour week for night shifts. Chi
cago job printers have been striving
for this goal for several years, but
the bosses have strenuously opposed
the innovation New York city job
printers have had the five-night week
for five years.
There also is strong opposition in
the union against the idea of five

Low Rates Help Non-U Union Fields
The non-union fields have always
enjoyed unduly favorable rates. OPP
ened up many years ago without a
normal market, and with great rail
road interests as the principal inves-
tors in producing properties, the
non-union fields have been developed
through low rates which notwith-
standing their greater distance from
normal markets, admitted these Goals
on a basis of rate equality with the
Goals produced in the nearer unionized
fields.
By the process of keeping these
fields on non-union basis, and grant
ing them unduly favorable rates, the
non-union Goals have been forced into
every market in the Central West and
East, where, under an equitable con
dition of freight rates, the unionized
fields would enjoy an advantage.

New York City.-Forced to the wall
by a bitter strike which spoiled the
spring season and was about to ruin
the busy summer season, the fur man
ufacturers of New York have been
compelled to yield
After a 17-week struggle, during
which numerous attempts to settle had
failed, one of the leading factors in
the raw fur industry brought the
contending leaders together.
The result is the fur workers are
to get the much-desired 40-hour week
for eight months in the year. In the
rush season for the fall trade they
are to work 44-hours as heretofore at
straight time.
The partial establishment of the
40-hour week is the result of the
unions determination since 1920 when
for 81 weeks the fur workers strug-
gled to obtain it only to be crippled
financially and be denied their goal.
The struggle this year cost the in
dustry S29,000,00.
Among the gains for the workers
in addition to the shorter work week
are 10 per cent increase in minimum
wage scales. They yield three holi-

Chaos in Coal Production Seen
More sane minded people see in this
condition the prospect of utter and
complete chaos in coal production and

"The coal industry of this coun-
try is drifting into a situation COM
parable to the one which has Just
upset Great Britain" says the COM
mittee on coal and giant powder, at
70 Fifth avenue, New York CITY,
The struggle between our union and
non-union soft coal fields has brought
about condition where a wage cut
will benefit neither union nor non
union operators or miners, but will
be insisted upon because the present
situation is almost as impossible as
the British situation. At the expira-
tion of the Jacksonville agreement

one of the most serious disturbances
in its industrial history"
