TODAY
THE BOULDER DAM
FIVE GOOD WORKERS
WHEN DICTATORS MEET
IF CROMWELL WERE HERE
BY Arthur Brisbane
NnnAN

President Coolidge should be sup
ported by congress IN his effort to
make the great Boulder Canyon dam
of the Colorado reality, without un-
necessary delay.
The bill to carry out that magnif-
icent wealth producing enterprise has
been called hiche rto the "Swing j ohm
son BILL" but while Senator johnson
continues to work earnestly for the
bill, it is reported that Congressman
Swing has suddenly lost interest, or
gone to sleep. However, the "swing"
can easily be left out. The dam will
be the work of President Coolidge,
Secretary Work, Hiram Johnson and
Herbert Hoover.
It is reported that Mr.. Swing show
ed indifference concerning the meet
ing called by the president for q
discussion at the White House with a
delegation from the house committee
in charge Of the bill. That Mr.. Swing
had actually to be dragooned into at
tending q meeting OF such vital i'm
portance to his state, his constituents
and the whole nation, is inconceivable.
It will not add greatly to Mr.. Swings
next electoral majority il he gets one.
California knows how earnestly Hi
ram Johnson mas worked for years on
the great enterprise, and the whole
nation appreciates the attitude of the
administration. The president will
push the legislation and Mr.. Work, his
secretary of the interior, has been ad-
mirably Industrious and thorough in
connection with task that will neces-
sarily be dictated BY him.
He has devoted weeks OF hard work,
and has travelled thousands OF miles,
visiting the site of this dam at Boul-
der Canyon, taking with him able en-
gineers and visiting also the agricul-
tural and manufacturing regions in
Arizona and California most deeply
concerned in the great project.
That dam should be named for Cal
vim Coolidge. It will produce wealth
enough to pay for the great war, and
give back the money that Woodrow
Wilson SO generously handed to Eu-
rope. And visitors to the dam in years
to come should read on the great con-
crete wall these names: Coolidge
Work, Hiram Johnson, and Herbert
Hoover.

SUIT MAY HALT
ROAD WORK IN
THE BADLANDS
Billings Co. Taxpayer Would
Enjoin Frahm From
Signing Contracts

Hearing will be held in district
court here tomorrow in case in
which Nels Nichols, Billings county
taxpayer, is seeking to enjoin H. C.
Frahm, chief state highway engineer,
from signing two contracts for $780,
063.78 worth of road work in the Bad
lands.
Validity of the contracts. awarded
to John Hersberger, Montana con-
tractor, is challenged on the ground
that the certified check presented by
him when the, bids were submitted,
did not meet the requirements of law.
the check was for $4,000 whereas
S., 800 was required. Stevens Brothers,
St. Paul, were the next high bidders.
their offer being about $4,000 above
that Of Hersberger, highway depart
ment officials said.
This. case seems to be an act on
the part Of those interested in the
higher bidders to obstruct the award
on q minor technicality," Frahm said.
He. was served this morning with q
temporary restraining order issued
by the Burleigh county district court.

UNOFFICIAL PEACEMAKERS
ARE WORKING FOR SOLUTION

London, May 7.-tR--The guarded
prediction was made this morning by
influential labor quarters that the
strike crisis might be settled early
next week.
This is the most optimistic sugges-
tion thus far emanating from a high
source. Upon what it is based was
not divulged.
Unofficial peacemakers are stead
lily working for a solution, and the
pressure Of the churches and other
bodies as we'll as prominent individ-
uals is being brought to bear to end
the trouble.
1t is understood that Premier Bald
win and ]. H. Thomas, one of the
labor leaders, were closeted at late
hour last night, but what took place
is unknown.
Officially both the trades union
congress and the government are
standing pat and both claim things
are going we'll in their respective
! camps.
Conditions Improving
The government at noon today stat
ed that conditions were improving
| throughout the country with only
minor disorders. Traffic conditions
| were easier, with many more trains
and other transportation facilities
available.
The British public entered upon
| the fourth day Of the general strike
heartened by the fact that there
would be more newspapers published.
| If the strike continues, the ire
sponsible sections of the public
probably will become more troubles
some as the days pass.

turbances already. The worst trou-
Bile has occurred in Glasgow, which
has a notoriously radical population,
especially in the adjoining ship
building and mining districts. There
was fierce rioting in the east side Of
| the city yesterday when the police
broke many heads and themselves
suffered bombardment of stones
and other missiles. The constabulary
got the upper hand. Sixty persons
we're arrested.
Police Kept Busy
There was some looting in Edin-
burgh and some Of the big English
towns also witnessed lively scenes.
while in southeast London tumult
kept the police busy long time. The
rioting in no case was on such Il
large scale as to compel the police to
call for the aid Of troops. The
strike leaders continue to deprecate
violence, and the disturbances appar-
emily have been due to bad elements
over which they have no control.
I Traffic movements generally show
ed improvement yesterday. Cross
channel communication between Dub
lin and Holyhead is to be restored
by one steamer, and if plans are
carried out the slight service be-
tween Belfast and Great Britain is to
be increased.

ters that the crisis might be settled

and J. II. Thomas, labor leader, have

DYNASTIC CHANGE APPEARS.
Former Premier Bratiano and Pre-

BUCHAREST, October Is P).--
Momentous changes in the dynastic
situation, due to the remuneration of
Crown Prince Carol of his rights to
the throne and his retirement abroad
are foreshadowed by conference be-
tween Gen. Averescu, the premier,
and former Premer Bratiano. The
conference took place at NJ. Bratiano' S
country home and is the subject of
the widest comment.
The newspaper Adeverul asserts
that the conference was due to the
end of a phase of a great problem
by reason of certain event" dur
ing Queen Marie'S stay in Paris.
The certain event" Is the reconcilia-
ton between Queen Marie and Prince
Carol. The newspaper adds. it was
decided that NJ. Bratiano should pro
ceed to Paris October 25, for the stu
alton cannot longer be kept in sus-
pense and must be consolidated or
modified
