BALDWIN RELIES
ON STARVATION
TO END STRIKE
Slaps Owners on Wrist
and Continues E. P. A.
tspseIaI . Ths p.IIy work.rl


LONDON, Sept. 2s.-The house OF
commons late today voted to continue
the state of emergency" regulations
deemed necessary because Of the stu
alton created by the prolonged coal
miners strike, b. vote of 1913 to 80.
LONDON, Sept 2S.-There is no
sign Of settlement of the great min
ers' strike, the government counting
on the miners being starved into sur
render and hopeful that the unions
delegate conference tomorrow will re-
suit in that surrender.
The Baldwin government, that has
had ample powers under the emery
ency powers act to combat the strik-
ers with special police and engage
in the coal importing business on a
huge scale. win do nothing whatever
to force the mine owners to even
meet the miners and the government
in three-cornered conference.
This proposal was made by the gov
eminent, but when It was rejected by
the mine owners. the government
evades further responsibility by say
ing, as Raidw did yesterday in the
commons:
I'VE are pretty well at the end Of
our powers of mediation"

DOUGH- CGERS
WANTED TO Get
CONTRIBUTIONS
Politicians Afraid to
Take the Coin

Colonel Smith, favorite pet of Sam
lei insult will have a three-cornered
contest for the senatorship on his
lands in the capitalist sweepstakes
lext November.
The latest jockey to enter the race
is former State Senator Hugh S. Ma
gill. who has found his big butter and
egg man in Julius Rosenwald, head
&c Sears Roebuck and company and
one Of the most outstanding philan-
thropists Of his siay. In fact Rosen-
valid gives money to many worthy
causes and takes it all from his sweat
ed employees.
Financial Bootleogers.
Magilrs candidacy is designed to
purify the political atmosphere Of
money-bag pollution. 1t is funny. but
true that capitalist candi-
dates are employing financial boot
leggers to sneak in the contributions
as they fear another blast from Jim
Reeds slush-hunting committee like
the very devil. Nevertheless 1t is
believed that they will get theirs and
damn the bookkeepers. Anyhow, a
plute who wants a receipt for his con-
tribution cannot be much good.
Mash For Brennan's Still.
The democrats are not worrying
about Magill's entrance into the cam
paign. The more republican votes that
get divided up, the more mash that
comes to George f. Brennan's still.
George is in a bed with a pain in his
wooden leg but his wife is going
around the state swinging a wicked
bung starter and it is admitted that
tho she is weak around the knees
when she begins to talk, before she
gets thru she has her audience try
ing to get foot on the rail and paw
ing the air for the shining mohagony.
This is a woman's day.
What happened TO the candidacy OF
Farley Parker Christensen? Since
the Streator convention. the six-foOt
Dane has not even growled. We hope
the blindness OF Tie labor leaders to
Parley's fedora in the senatorial ring
will not entirely dampen the ardor of
the "progressives." Surely Christian
sen could not expect the personal
friends of Samuel insults twins TO
regard political purging drive such
as Farley promised, with anything but
GOODNESS.

Il regret to have to say that from
the opening of the congress the atti-

FL. PARTY IN
DAKOTA FILES
COMPLETE SLATE
Old Parties Surprised by
N. D. Comeback
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

BISMARCK, N. D., Sept. 2s. = A
complete state and congressional
ticket was filed Friday by the Farmer
Labor Party of this state. This sec
ton is the elimination of the organ
ization OF the Farmer-Labor Party last
December in this city. 1t came as a
complete surprise to the capitalist
party politicians, who had fondly
hoped that the insufficient percentage
of votes that the Farmer-Labor Party
obtained in the primaries last June,
would put the farmer-laborites out of
the running.
File Candidates.
Under the state law governing cleo
lions, the executive committee OF the
party is permitted to fill all the
vacancies on the ticket. Dad" Walker
as chairman OF the committee and l..
C. Miller of Williston. its secretary,
filed the following state and con-
gressional candidates:
For United States senator, William
Lemke, Fargo, one-time non-partisan
league leader; for congress, first dis
trict, Donald B. Macdonald, Grand
Forks. second distriit, c. w. Reichert,
Darlington; for governor, Ralph In
gerson, Burke county; for commits
sioner Of agriculture and labor, d. /.
Todd, WilIiston; for attorney general,
Milton K Higgins, Golden Valley,
Mercer county; for secretary Of state,
Charles Johnson, Grand Forks; for
insurance commissioner; Magnus
Snowfeld, Fargo; for state auditor,
Allan McManus, Grand Forks; for
state treasurer, E. w. Cart, Kenmare;
for railroad commissioners, James
Wenstrom, Dover, Wells county; os-
car Korsmo, Northwood, Grand Forks
county, and J. A. McGovern, Fargo.
Real Campaign,
An intense campaign is in prepara-
ton and will be carried into every
voting precinct OF the state. 1t is
highly probable that state paper will
be launched by the Farmer-Labor
party, not only as a campaign instru-
ment, but also as permanent organ
of the Farmer-Labor Party Of North
Dakota.

The American socialist declares he
would be "doddering idiot" to risk
himself within the limits of what
by a figure of speech is called the

Referring to the fact that on the
trip across the Atlantic he had the

ANNUAL OBSERVANCE

About half a hundred fathers and

enjoyable observance of Father
and Son" banquet held in the vestry
OF the church. on Thursday evening.
The affair was sponsored by the
young men teachers of two of the
boys classes of the Sunday school,
Eldon Gray and Louis Carleton, and
sumptuous lobster supper was
served by the boys, assisted by Mrs.
Ruel Carleton and Mrs. f. A. Gray.
Lester M. Hart acted as toastmas-
ter for theNprogram of post-prandial
talks, and the first number was the
reading of a poem, Dad" by Ed
win Royal. Donald Manning spoke
as the representative of the sons,
and the response for the fathers was
made by Rev. Stanley Manning. Mr..
Manning emphasized the need for
fathers and their sons to be some
thing more than pals" He sug-
gested that they should form a clos
err partnership, built upon their
two separate viewpoints. He declared
that a partnership with both men,
bers of the conservative type could
not be successful, any more than
could one with vision the character
istic of both partners, but that a
combination of these characteristics
would make for genuine success.
The pastor of the church. Rev. A.
Francis Walch, made brief remarks,
following which the speaker of the
evening, Hon. Frank G. Harrington,
was introduced and gave splendid
address in which he presented the
need of union of the home and
church. He also said that there
should be complete understanding
between fathers and their sons and
frequent exchange of viewpoints,
that the dad might better under
stand the boy and the boy his father.
If sons are to be good boys and
outstanding young men their fathers
must be of exemplary character, said
the speaker. In homes where there

inculcate a proper respect for prop

should also take the son more into
his confidence.
DR.. Frank Cranes essay, "a Let
ter to Dad" was read and there was
also a brief program of songs, The
tables for the banquet had been at
tractively arranged and the entire
affair was most successful, as was
that of the mother and daughter
