the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton Wednesday hailed the an
nouncement from their president,
Edward A. O'Neal. that for the Sec
ond time a farm bloc had been or
ganized in congress to support re-
lief measures for agriculture.
Word was received at federation
headquarters here from ONeal in
Washington that $50 members OF
congress had banded to put through
a four-point program during the
present short session.
The program, said O'Neal, includes
extension Of currency, lowering OF
the price of the dollar, hating farm
mortgage foreclosures and insuring
equality to agriculture and labor.
subcommittee already are meet
ing and mapping legislation, O'Neal
said. Chairmen included Rep. John
N. Sandlin, Louisiana, for mortgage
foreclosures; william w. Arnold, Il
linois, farm relief legislation; jeff
Busby, Mississippi, currency reform,
and James M. Mead, New York, city
cooperation.
Purposes Of the new farm bloc had
been endorsed by the other two farm
organizations, the National Farm
ers' Union and the National Grange,
O'Neal's telegram stated.
The original farm bloc was spon-
sored by :. the federation In 1921.
O'Neal said, and claimed it obtained
more agricultural legislation In the

FRANCE CONSIDERS
loan TO AUSTRIA
DESPITE DEFAULT
Sum Would Be About Halt That
Which Was Due to u. S.
Last Week
CHAMBER DEBATE LOOMS
Deputies Who Favored Payment
to u. S. Ask Justifica.
ton for Loan

Paris, Dec. 21.-(R-Another phase
of Frances financial dilemma pro-
posed loan to Austria-pressed for
ward Wednesday for a decision while
responsible leaders hoped for early
settlement of the American debt
problem.
The two problems were linked by
deputies who asked how France could
make the loan to Austria when it re-
fused to pay sum only twice as great
to the U. S. last week.
The League of Nations approved a
$4,000 900 loan to Austria last July at
the Lausanne conference to be raised
by member nations. Frances share
in this loan, intended to save Asutria
from a perilous financial situation
was 250.000000 francs. or about So
100000.
Within the next 10 days a decision
Is to be reached by the French gov
eminent on whether the loan should
be made. Deputies who favored max
ing the interest payment of more than
$l9,000,000 to the U. S. last Thursday
raised the question OF grounds for
making the Austrian loan.
CA strangely contrasting view was
taken in Vienna before France de-
faulted on the due date for the Amer
lean debt. 1t was believed that If
France paid the U. S.. the chance OF
its making the loan would be prac-
tically wiped out. This view also ap-
piled to England, which was to share
in the Austrian loan, and which paid
its American debit.
Behind both problems Is the fact
that France is financially able to
make either the debt payment or the
loan. The French viewpoint was,
however, the Lausanne agreement re-
ducing German PREPARATIONS was ap-
proved by the U. S. with a virtual
promise of a similar reduction to its
debtors.
While Premier Paui-Boncour has
promised action on the debts in
friendly accord with desires in the U.
S., reliable sources were certain he
would not seek to alter the chambers
decision to postpone the December
payment pending general and neces-
sary negotiations"
A high official predicted 1t probably
would be two months before the
chamber would change its decision. A
cabinet member said he was con.
vinced the December payment would
be made but that it was "a question
of time"

BANK OF WEBSTER
LOOTED IN EARLY
MORNING ROBBERY
Burglars Get Only SOS After
Knocking Out Janitor; Un-
able to Open Safe

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 21.-(P)-
Robbers who sought to burn open a
vault and safe at the Bank Of Web
ster, IL miles north Of here, knocked
a bank employee unconscious when
he interrupted them, and escaped
with $40.73 in cash, and $25 in
stamps.
Fred Bergevin, an employe, was
struck over the head with blunt
instrupent, possibly the butt of a
pistol, as he entered the bank about
Z a. m. When he regained conscious
ness and sounded an alarm to the
telephone operator, the robbers had
escaped.
There was $1,000 in cash in the
safe, which the men failed the open.
Entrance to the bank was made by
drilling a hole through the front
door large enough to open a lock
from the inside.
In the bank the robbers used
acetylene torches, burning off the
combination to the vault, but a re-
locking system locked the mechan-
ism again. Unable to solve the re-
locking devise, the men cut panel
out of the vault door, large enough
for a man to enter.
Several safety deposit boxes were
rifled. but no valuables obtained.
Bonds held by the customers Of the
bank had been shipped to Minneap-
oils banks for safe keeping.
An attempt to burn the time lock
on the safe In the vault. failed.
Cash obtained by the robbers was
taken from one Of the drawers in the
bank.
Acetylene tanks used by the rob-
bers apparently were stolen from q
Webster garage before they entered
the bank.
The number Of men In the band
was not determined.

action which topped q day-long pro-
cession of votes to beat back every

The action marked the first time
since adoption of the Volstead act
that either branch Of congress had

relaxing the fundamental prohibition
enforcement law.
The beer advocates piled up q COM
Portable majority on the first call Of

last year Of a beer measure, 228 to
169.
The chamber was crowded during
the progress of the call. The galleries
were sprinkled with many representa-
tives of wet and dry organizations
among the spectators.
One attempt after another to alter
the measure as approved by commit
tee, carrying as it does IS q bar
rel tax, was frustrated by legislators
on edge from the strain Of hours Of
dispute.
Watched by galleries in which
women predominated, the Democra-

Prominent Cause for Loss Of Jobs

said.
1.-THE lack Of proper character

Most OF the causes, 500 per cent.
given for termination Of employ
ment are In character traits, while
only 1o.1 per cent are lack Of

This plainly indicates that
our greatest failure. Is In charac.

COLLEGE HEADS RAP
Limiting TEACHERS
INCOME BY STATUTE
Declares Inequalities Result and
Schools Bound to Suf-
fer Damage

Objection to clause In the recent
ly initiated salary reduction law, in
terpreted as limiting salaries of heads
and faculty members of state educa-
tional institutions to $2,400 year,
was expressed by presidents of the
states five teachers colleges at a
meeting here Wednesday.
The presidents said they were not
opposed to the 20 per cent salary re-
duction provided for by the law be-
cause depressed conditions made some
retrenchment in all activities of state
government necessary.
They voiced objections, however, to
fixing salaries of teachers by law on
the ground that the welfare Of the
schools would be harmed by such a
provision and inequalities would re-
suit.
The group agreed to take no action
until the case now pending in the
state supreme court to test the con-
stitutionality Of the law is decided.
.Limied by Statute
A provision of the law asserts that
state employees shall not receive in
excess of the head, commission or
board members supervising institu-
tions or state departments.
Members of the state board of adj
ministration, which is the supervis-
ing body Of state institutions, will
receive $1,000 annually under the re-
duction law and this is believed to
limit the salaries Of heads and facul-
ty members of educational institu-
tons to that amount.
Many inequalities will result
through this provision, the presidents
believe. A faculty member receiving
5000 would be reduced to 81, 400, tax
ing a regular 20-percent reduction,
while q faculty member receiving
$4,000 a year would receive the same
amount as result Of the maximum
clause.
Drastic salary reductions In the
$4,000 and 5000 class is expected to
result in the loss Of outstanding fac
ulty members In North Dakota edu-
cational institutions, one Of the pres
idents said.
Presidents at the meeting were
r. M. Black OF Glendale, G. l.. Kjer-
stad of Dickinson, George A. McFar-
land, Of Minot, G. e. Allen of Valley
City and G. G. Swain Of Mayville.
Is Debates Set For March
It was decided to hold intercollegi-
ate debates between schools on
March 20.
A inquest will be made Of the North
Central association. the presidents
agreed. to continue the North Dakota
teachers colleges as colleges. The
association, an accrediting organiza-
ton, Is discarding teachers colleges
and will have only one class consist
ing OF universities and colleges.
Discussing curricula, the presidents
found that all are conforming to the
standards set in 1925 and that nc
changes are needed.
Limiting athletic programs was sug-
gested at the conference through re-
duction Of the number Of games and
the number Of men carried on teams
as Q means Of reducing expenses fol
athletic activities. Although funds
for sports come out Of gate receipts
and student fees, reduction Of ex-
penses wherever possible was recon-
mended by the presidents.
