cent Roosevelt and Hugh 8. johnson
Saturday began selecting 600 lieuten-
ants to impel toward victory their un-
precedented peace-time program for
putting at least 100000 idle to work
by September.
Both were said to be highly pleased
by first public reaction toward their
scheme, under which around 5000 900
employers would sign agreements
with the president to increase pay
and put more people to work by Short
ening the hours of those now en-
ployed.
A further molding Of public opinion
behind the plan is looked for when
President Roosevelt on Monday night
outlines it to the nation.
The next immediate step, which be-
gan Saturday, Is the selection Of re-
covery boards Of seven in each Of the
commerce departments "a districts
and Of additional boards Of nine in
each state. These units will advise
federal headquarters on progress. and
help the campaign.
johnson meanwhile said he plans
no exhaustive set Of regulations gov

agreements which will reach every
employer through the mails on July

DENIED CLEMENCY
BY PARDON BOARD
Charles Simpson and Francis
Tucker Fail in Efforts
For Freedom

The state pardon board Friday de.
MED clemency to Charles Simpson
Minot Negro, and Francis Tucker
Verona, serving life terms at the pen

county, has been in prison since No
vember, 1927, while Simpson was
committed in December, 1929.
GUNNER, convicted of murder for
the death OF a girl in a Fargo hotel
where he was clerk, has been serving
since February, 1922.
Charles Lycke, Grand Forks, open
ed the case in behalf OF GUNNER. He
was followed by William G. Green, St.
Paul, who at the time of the Gum
mer case was special assistant at
torney general to prosecute the
Fargo youth. Green, who told the
board he came here at his own ex-
pense, analysed the evidence which
led to the conviction Of GUNNER. H.
w. Swenson, Devils Lake attorney
and brother-in-law Of GUNNER, will
appear IN his behalf Saturday on
completion of Green's presentation
Of the prosecutions case.
The board also has heard the case
Of Claude Peoples, Minot Negro, SEN
fenced to life for murder in Deem
Der, 1916, but has not announced a
decision. Hearing on the application
Of Clarence Orion, sentenced for
murder from Towner county April

-FOUR LATHERS ARE
FORCED Off JOB AT
CAPITOL BUILDING
Union Pressure Proves Too
Much for Contractor; North
Dakotans in Picture

Workmen who have been placing
metal lath in the new capitol build
Ing were forced off the Job Thursday
as the result OF pressure brought
against them by union members and
the status Of the Job was in doubt
Saturday.
Indications are that work will be
resumed with union men as soon as
wage scale can be negotiated. The
union men, led by George Moore, first
vice president Of the international
union, are asking SIPS an hour.
Forced off the work Thursday were
M. H. Hennings, Lacrosse. Wis, who
had taken a contract for the lathing
from p. j. Holmes, Cleveland, sub
contractor for the lathing and plas-
tering. With him went Thomas Dan
EEK, Lacrosse, Edward Lee and Pat
Popple, Rochester, Mimi, employed
as workmen.
Four men whom Lee said were
North Dakotans remained on the job
Saturday. Lee gave their names as
Howard Spooner, Fargo; men named
Nichols and Benton from Minot, and
Guy Burke, LaMoure.
Their status if and when the job
is unionized remains to be deter
mined.
Moore said he doubted that Burke
is a North Dakotan but the status of
Benton and Nichols as North Dakota
men is UNREASONABLE.
Involved in the discussion is in
and enforcement by the
state capitol commission of that Sec
ton Of the capitol building law which
requires preference for North Dakota
workmen
The difficulty lies in the fact that
Holmes Is what is known as a union
and the labor organization
will not permit him to "go union In
5ne place and non-union In another"
according to Moore.
This means that Holmes must put
the union to work on the capitol

In 1929

New York, July 22-R-The New
York stock exchange announced Sat-

open at noon until further notice.
The exchange decided to open Sat-
urday.
An announcement by the board of
governors, made half an hour before
opening time Saturday morning, said:
due to the sustained pressure un-
der which members and employees Of
their firms and of the stock-clearing
corporation have been working for a
considerable time, and particularly
in the last few days, the governing
committee OF the New York stock ex-
change, by resolution this morning,
have determined that beginning with
Monday, July "a, and until further
notice the exchange will open at IL
noon instead Of at 10 o'clock on full
business days, and furthermore the
governing committee will determine
next week, provided the present great
activity continues, whether or not the
exchange will be closed next Satur-
day."
The New York curb exchange de-
cided on the same restricted schedule.
The exchanges made similar oper-
ating limitations during the huge
market of 1929.
Enormous volumes of the last three
days have imposed a crushing burden
on the bookkeeping facilities of, COM
mission houses and have worn down
the physical endurance Of brokerage
employees. Many Of them have work.

effort to clean up the tremendous
business done Wednesday, Thursday
