500, 745, 900 tons and in 1929 it was up
again as far as $50. 352, 900 tons.
The sources OF this huge tonnage
have shifted from the large number
of small mines to the large produc-
ers. Only 200 mines or "a per cent
of the total number operating in
1929 produced 29.6 per cent Of all the
bituminouS coal used in 1929.
When mining efforts r concen-
trated at large producers it is posi-
lie to work practically full time. In
former days, miners were idle al
most half of the year, finding en-
ployment chiefly In the winter time
when the demand for coal va great
est.
There has been a tremendous saw
ing on labor to the coal operators in
spite Of the fact that they are pro-
ducing almost as much coal as in
1928. In 1923 the 1881 mines operat-
ing reported employees numbering
7C4, 793. In 1929 the COST mines oper-
ating had employees numbering only
500, 1893. The shift in method, there
fore, cut down the force by POI 800
workers or 2s.e per cent of the total
number employed in 1923. This has
contributed to unemployment as the
miner is something Of a specialist
who does not readily adapt himself
to other types of labor.
Those who have retained their en-
plcyment, however, have better and
steadier jobs. Concentration Of work
q. q smaller number Of mines has
meant much more continuous en-
ployment. The average number OF
days worked at the bituminous coal
mines in 1873 was ITO. In 1929 this
average had risen to 2l9 days. This
was q gain Of 22.4 per cent in aver
aee number Of working days.
Industrial experts and economists
are giving much thought to such
revolutions in American industry
This, In the bituminous coal indus
try, Is the most drastic which has
been studied. It Is not unlikely that
A similar trend will be followed in
other great basic industries.

Is the President of these United
States becoming a mere figurehead?
To one OIL the outside, it would seem
to appear exactly that way.
Time was, and not so long ago
either, when a presidents word was
law and congress would not have
thought OF going against his wishes.
But, the modern way is different.
The president seems to have becoml
a man Of straw. a political football,
something w have to have to take
the place OF a king-and about as
useful. 1t is a sad thing when a
president is SO lacking in good sports

plea also sounds much like hypocrisy
when We remember that hundreds OF

The check for over $10O, 900 given
by the Northern Pacific Railway
company to the county treasurer.
which was reprinted In a recent issue
Of the Tribune, should cause each and
every citizen of Burleigh county to
do some tall thinking. Modern
methods must take the place of old
time things. Some papers say the
railroads r old-fashioned, and have
failed to keep up with the times. How
true is this?
No person. having once seen the
modern up-to-date equipment of the
modern passenger train, could even
think of such q thing. No one al
deny that the automobile and the
truck have seriously cut into the
profits of the railways. And we must
remember another thing. The rail-
roads had to build their own roads,"
State and county did not help to de-
fray these expenses. Millions and
millions of dollars were spent In order
that at all corners Of the country
could be brought together in one
grand and glorious whole. Little
towns, villages and cities were linked
together by the magic power of the
railway. Years passed and the au-
tomobile arrived, taking thousands of
dollars yearly from the railways.
People who formerly had used the
trains for travelling purposes bought
q car and were "independent." Later
on, huge freight trucks and buses
added more strongly to the compe-
tition. Buses started on regular
routes and folks who had been COM
PEELED to wait hours on a train found
they had to wait but a few minutes
for the bus.
But buses and freight trucks took
heavy toll from the roads, and
every year but adds to the damage.
Where the railways built their own
roads the automobile traffic depended
and late demanded that the public,

New York COlOred Boys Make Great Showing Defeating Locals 6 to 1 -Jenkins Impressive

The Black Yankees baseball out fit of New York thrilled another large gathering of twilight fans last night at Hamilton park scoring an easy 6 to 1 win over the Washing ton Hills in benefit game for the "On To Cleveland Drive."
 Sam Holland, the Tanks choice for the mound duty, needed little assistance from his mates as he held the locals to one hit in nine innings, whiting 14 batters. Un- doubtedly he was the best pitcher the Hills encountered this year as his fast ball whizZed down the al- leys like pills.
 best team to show in this city in years. They can sock, field and run bases like nobody's business. The Hills scored their only run in the fifth when Razor" Doran singled to left field, took second on Du- jacks out to Second Baseman Rig gins, stole third on Holland as the latter delayed pitching to Kane. Holland threw to Third Baseman Finley who missed the ball as "Oom" Paul scampered home with the Hills only tally.
 'Slugger" Jenkins. the heralded Renaissance hoop star, made a big hit with local fans by his stellar performance in left field and at the bat. His home run with two mates on in the fourth inning was long drive to deep left field.

 OVER CAMPOLO IN BROOKLYN BOUT

New York, Aug 26.-UP)-Er- nie Schaaf, Boston's current pugil- istic pride, was an o favor ite to-day to defeat Victoria Cam polo. giant Argentine heavyweight in their 12-round bout in Ebbets field. Brooklyn tonight.
 Campolo, second only to Primo Camera in size, will have every natural advantage on Schaaf. The South American is bigger in weight and height and has a much longer reach. But his advantages end there. Schaaf, who learned a good deal of his boxing from Jack Sharkey. is a much more finished boxer and Is much faster afoot.
 The Big Test.
 Campolo, who three years ago was hailed by many experts as the coming heavyweight champion of the world must win decisively to- night to retain ranking among the leading contenders.
 Schaaf, a comparative newcom- CT among the leading heavys, has been improving with the passing of eac might. He will be seeking his eighth consecutive knockout to- might.

Over A> the -1- Plate 2
BY GEORGE DILLON:

The "On To. Cleveland Drive" was swelled $4S last night as an- other huge throng paid $12O to view the local debut of the potent Black Yankees club of New York who eked out e 6 to 1 verdict over the Washington Hills in a nine in- ming tilt at Hamilton Park. The victors took 60 per cent of the receipts or $72 which left AS one dollar bills for the campaign.
 Without dOube the Yankees are the best club to perform here this season, using last nights con- test us q criterion. They showed an cnvisbIe battery in sam HOl- land and Larry Brown. The former famed IA of the Hills, and limited them to q single hit by Paul DOran who consequently was the only local to reach first base.
 Vic Radzevich remarked to "Pinter" Purcell on the Hills bench last night, Your speed and Hollands fast ball certainly makes a dandy change of pace" Many of the Hills IA strikeout victims were called out and coming back to the bench remarked it was usc- less swinging when you couldn't see anything to swing at.
 Of the first nine men tO face Holland, Larry Mullen and Ray Ahearn were the only two who didn't take three swings. The Yankees arc sporting an enviablc record this season which includes six cOnsccutivcs victories over the Brooklyn Royal COlOred Giants. .. Bill Jenkins, the Rennaissance basketball star, enjoyed a renewal of acquaintance with Hcnnic Car ringtOn whom he played against several years ago when the local lad was pllOting the St Joseph's Tabs. -. Sam Holland took the pipe in tho fifth inning after 'Razor" crossed the plate with the only run, and 1t looked as though Sam would have given his right eve to enter BasebaIl's Hall of Fame with perfcc contest which tho "CIOuting Cclt from Dublin street" robbed him of. ... Will Reilly was inserted in the Hills lineup in the sixth and the first batter, Catcher Brown, cIOutcd one of JabIonOwski's offerings deep into right field which "GOat" con- verted into 6 putOut. \ The De- trOit Clowns will play the Brook Iyns Saturday afternoon at o'clock at Hamilton Park in an- other game for the Cleveland cam paign Don't be surprised if you read the announcement soon that Maggie Riley and her BlOOmcr Girls will exhibit here soon, for arr rangcmcnts for the game are prac- ticaIIy scwcd up.

GIANTS CROWDINC CUBS OUT OF lST
 DIVISION BERTH
Cards and Athletics Still on Victory March - Robins Split With the Pirates
By l.. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

NOMUeu FrcSS cpOFtS E0itOfD
 New York, Aug 26.-(UP)- Rogers Hornsby's Chicago Cubs, who started the season with high and justifable hopes of winning the National league pennant, to- day seemed headed for the bottom of the first division.
 Five games behind the second place New York Giants and but one game better off than the fourth place Brooklyn Robins, the Cubs to-day meet the Giants in a dou- ble header. If they lose both games while the Robins are idle, the Chicagos will be tied with Uncle Hobbies clowns.
 Two at q Time.
 The Cubs dropped a couple to the Giants yesterday, 5 to 3, and to l. Strong pitching by Carl Hubbell and Mel Oott's home run with two men on was largely re- sponsible for the Cubs defeat in the opener.
 The second game was all over after the third inning when, with two out, Fullis, Allen and Terry singled and Hogan and Ott hit home runs. This little spree gave the New Workers five runs.
 The St Louis Cardinals made 1t three in a row over the Boston Braves, winning to in ten in- nings. Socks Seibold shut out the league leaders for eight innings, but weakened in the ninth to al- low the Cards to tie the score. The champions continued the attack in the tenth, getting three runs on an error, a base on balls, and three singles.
 One Apiece.
 Brooklyn's Robins and the Pitts burg Pirates divided a double bill, the Robins winning the nightcap 5 to 3, after dropping the opener, 5 to 3.
 Freddy Heimach, portly Robin southpaw, was the big man in the second game. Freddy let the Pirates down with three hits.
 The third double-header of the day saw the Phillies and Cincinnati Reds break even, the Reds winning the first game 8 to 0, and losing the second, 1 to o. Lucas allowed the Phils but i've hits in the first eame-the same number his mates were able to get off Elliott in the second.
 Convincing Wins.
 Play in the American was fea- tured by the New York Yankees 8 to o victory over the Chicago White Sox. It was New Yorks first shutout win of the year. Herb Pennock, veteran southpaw, was the winning pitcher.
 The world champion Phfladel- phia Athletics made it three in a row over the St Louis Browns. winning 4 to 1. Ed Rommel allow ed but six hits.
 Washington's Senators had ht- tie trouble in turning back the Detroit Tigers, 5 to 1.
 Boston and Cleveland were rain ed out.

 In their first meeting the Cowans took an extra inning 2 to decision from the Putsics in a nip and-tuck game which wound up with three runs materializing after hectic innings. Paddy Gallulo and George Dillon were the oppos- ing hurlers and both boys will oc- cupy the hillock again tomorrow evening.
