This fact is vouched for by the long
series Of economic and political
strikes, beginning with the bloody
week in Seville in July, 1929, and cul-
mirlating during the last few days
in mass strikes throughout the coun-
try.
Further, the influence Of the Com
munist Party of Spain is steadily
growing, although the democratic fas-
cist regime of Berenguer granted no
possibility Of legal action to the C. P.
There is no doubt that the develop
ment of the republican movement
and the rapid growth of the revolu-
tionary working class movement in
Spain is closely connected with the
world economic crisis. The moribund
industry Of Spain INFLATED by war

and even, this dispatch was not used
in any of the big English language
dailies receiving the Associated Press.

CONDITION OF RIDING
M|SHAP VICTIM GOOD
Glen Cranbois, Thrown From
Horse, Remains in Semi
Conscious State

The general condition of Glen
Granbois, who suffered a fractured
skull when thrown from horse near
Mckenzie Tuesday, was good Thurs
day morning though he remained in a
semi-conscious condition, his attend
slg physician said.
The doctor said Granbois could be
aroused and would answer questions
but then would lapse into an uncon-
scious state.
Granbois apparently was thrown 35
or 40 feet from the horse he was rid
ing when the animal stumbled in a
badger hole, Sheriff Joseph L. Kelley
said Thursday following an investi-
cation.
The injured man, about 20 years
old, was employed on the farm of Roy
Wildfang and had started out to
round up some cattle when the acci-
dent occurred. Wildfang had come to
Bismarck that afternoon and Gran
bois' plight was not discovered until
Wildfang returned to the farm in the
evening and found the saddled horse
running about the barnyard.
Unable to find GranboiS immed-
lately, Wildfang communicated with
the sheriff. who Immediately sent out
request by telephone to farmers in
the district to participate in a search.
About 100 farmers from the Nc
Ken1e Sterling. and Sibley Butte dis
tricts responded.
Granbois was not found until $3.50
a. m. Wednesday, however, and had
suffered from exposure after lying
unconscious ON the field for about Is
hours.

LAUDEDBY SPEAKER
L. r. Baird Gives Armistice Day
Talk Before Rotary Club
Wednesday

Rights and privileges enjoyed by
citizens of the United States were OBJ
tanned by "the perseverance, sacrifice
and suffering of the men of the Revo-
luton, confirmed by the men of 1861
and insured by the men Of 1917" L.
r. Baird told members Of the Rotary
club at their Armistice Day luncheon
Wednesday noon.
No particular state, county, city or
hamlet can claim credit for the men
of 1917, he continued. Credit goes to
every locality in the United States
and to every class, profession and
trade. There were 100000 men un-
der arms, 100000 of whom were
overseas"
Overlook Real Thought
Too many are apt to regard Armis-
tice day as q day Of amusement, gay
ETY., and festival and overlook the fact
that it was designated in commemora-
ton of the signing Of the armistice,
Baird said.
North Dakota had over 10000 men
in the service, $4,000 of whom went
overseas; he continued, $4,000 are
credited with battle engagements and
1000 approximately died Of wounds
and disease. In proportion to popu-
lation, North Dakota ranks second IN
the United States in number killed
in action"
He gave a brief historical sketch OF
wars in which the United States par
ticipated.

or racketeering be promptly brought to halt.
No matter may have been decisions of our courts In

agencies individuals and those seeking law en-
forcement officials of this city undoubtedly find reasons
FOR making arrests and breaking fraudulent practices
For any agency to accept fees OF any KIND from
unemployed persons the promise of getting employment
and then failing make good though retaining the fees should
be illegal under several laws and easily broken up
Charging by responsible employment agencies that do
what they promise may be all right but charging fees keeping
money and NOT keeping promises altogether another
thing
The people who have made complaints far ignorant
and fendess easily imposed upon They the type that
cheap raceers feed upon These people have no per-

Drift of Thought on Crisis = By Claude G. Bowers

out the difference between the
policy of England, when she
was the creditor nation. and
the policy of the United States
and France today:
Britain used to take pay
ment Of her debts in the form
of goods, or alternately she
lent money to other nations
for long terms. America and
France both have high tariff
systems which make payment
in goods impossible. Instead Of
leaving their money or loans
abroad, they prefer to receive
it and hold it at home"
Thus in every diagnosis Of
fered, we find our tariff walls.
and the tariff walls of other
nations, built in retaliation
against our own to a consider
able extent, figuring proml-
nently.
Yet the Administration in
Washington insists that our
present tariff walls are sacro-
Sanct and must not be touched
with impious hands. There Is
nothing so tragic in a crisis
as a stubborn man who closes
his mind to new ideas, and his
eyes to realities.
