wages and working hours than cotton
textile operators proposed under the
industrial recovery law.
Led by william Green, president of

the worker chieftainS marshalled for
Hugh S. Johnson, industrial admins
TRAITOR, their reasons for contending
that $40 in the south and $11 in the
north Is too low q weekly minimum
wage for cotton mills and 40 hours too
long a work week.
Squirting the labor spokesmen was
q determination to set the highest
possible standard for workers In this
initial code on which other industries
may pattern plans for aiding employ
ment and business through the admin
istration's recovery act.
But underlying their efforts to
change figures ard language in the
operators plan was an earnest desire
to cooperate toward successful
working agreement.
Already labor had scored with the
appointment by johnson OF q COM
mittee to investigate the stretch out
system" In cotton mills, lest decreased
working hours be offset by an increas-
ed machine load for the individual
worker, thereby multiplying the an
nounced intention of greater employ
ment.

Asked Five Per Cent

Minot, N. D., June 28.-(P)-Close
on the heels of his refusal to pledge
either $50 or $40 this year out of his
monthly pay Of between $40 and $50
to the Leader, proposed administration
newspaper, E. c. Bolstad, employe in
Minot of the state highway depart
ment, was advised Tuesday that his
services would be terminated.
! Bolstad, an employe of the depart
ment since 1928, doing repair work on
oil mix highways, was approached
last Saturday by Harold Mcdonald,
Bismarck, solicitor for five per cent
pledges, and G. o. Carlson, longtime
Nonpartisan League member Of Ward
county and recently named general
foreman of the Minot division OF the
department.
Carlson introduced Bolstad to Nc
Donald and the latter took up with
the workman the matter of pledging
$50 Of his wages to support of the
newspaper, which Bolstad flatly re-
fused to do, he relates. The figure
was then cut to $40, the first $40 to
be paid by July and the final pay
ment to be made by next January.
Bolstad said he pointed out to Nc
Donald that he earns around $40 or
$50 per month at the present time and
IS required to furnish his own automo-
bile, gasoline, oil and tires in connec-
ton with the Job. In the winter, his
pay amounts to only $40 or $50 per
month he said.
Mentions Administration
Bolstad quotes Mcdonald as having
said you ought to be willing to do
this pledge $40} for the good of the
administration" and Bolstad said he
told him he would not pledge any sum.
We'll see you again." Bolstad
quotes Mcdonald as having said.
Early Tuesday morning, Bolstad
was advised by M. E. Hoffman, assist
ant division engineer on the Minot
division, that his services were being
terminated and that he could work
for two more days.
At the highway shops Tuesday fore
noon, Bolstad was met by Joe Makens,
Minot, who handed him this COM
munication:
"Mr. E. G. Bolstad: Please turn
over to Mr.. Joe Makens all highway
machinery and equipment in your
possession, taking a receipt for same.
BY order Of Frank Vogel, highway
commissioner. Given by D. H. Hamil-
ton, superintendent of equipment"
When Makens learned, however,
that he was expected to furnish his
own auto. Bolstad said, he declined
to take the job, Hoffman then told
him he could keep on working, Bol-
stad said, but added that he could
expect his services would be ended
soon. Bolstad said Wednesday he
expected that his Job would be fin
ished Wednesday night.
Two other employees of the depart
ment. M. w. Morris and Floyd Burns,
whose services have been terminated,
said Wednesday they were not soli-
cited by Mcdonald.
Some employees who said they were
solicited by Mcdonald and refused
to sign the pledge are still working.
Others who said they signed also are

SUCCUMB TO Heat
New High Marks Are Establish

(By the Associated Press)

Mother nature baked a large area
OF the nation, striking particularly at
the central and southwestern states
and no general immediate relief was
in sight Wednesday.
Torrid temperatures Tuesday broke
records throughout the section, crops
were scared and prostrations were
numerous.
North Dakota, however, was rela-
lively favored. with moderate temper
atures and partly cloudy weather.
In Chicago an all-time June peak
was reached when the mercury shot
up to an official 1901, breaking the
previous maximum of 99.8 registered
last June 7. At least seven persons
died from the heat in Illinois.
The southwest saw temperatures as
high as 108 at Phoenix, Ariz., and los
at Alva, Okla. Welcome rains how
ever fell In Kansas Tuesday night, as
well as at Kansas City, Mo-, bringing
q sharp drop In temperatures.
Reports told Of crop damage in the
grain belt. A. E. Anderson, federal

Soil Being Baked
A Minnesota expert said showers
had done little good beyond freshen
the fields temporarily. Detrimental
soil baking has followed, he said, as
the temperature pushed upward again

agronomist, said corn and potatoes OH

said had been damaged In sections OF

western Minnesota are beyond help,
he asserted, and are suffering else
where.
o. w. Roberts, federal meteorologist
for North Dakota, said all crops in
that state needed rain badly and that
small grains and pastures had deter
lorated greatly. Grasshoppers are q
serious menace in many sections, he
added. The state had scattered show
ers last night but the heat continued
today.
H. G. Keeney, president Of the Ne
oraska Farmers Union, returning
from a state tour, said small grain
nearly everywhere was mighty poor"
and that there was no winter wheat

needed for corn, he said.
Some corn damage was reported in
Iowa by Charles D. Reed, federal

FAKE PRIZE SCHEMES

A rather ancient scheme for separat-
ing the unwary from their money is being
worked again, both in the United States
and Canada, according to the leading bust
ness mems magazine.
The plan is to insert an advertisement
containing a perfectly simple puzzle which
anyone can easily solve, and offer prizes
for correct solutions. A favorite prize is
building lot"
OF course, anyone who sends in So
luton of the puzzle wins lot, but he is
informed that he will be expected to remit
a small sunni one case $7.75-for the
deed and other Incidental expenses con-
nected with the transfer of the property
The Tot is very small and the SITS fees
alone would net the seller around 5000 an
acre for some worthless land.
So, if the winner" swallows that
bait he is out just $7.75 for the privilege of
working the puzzle. while his name is pass
ed along to other swindlers as that of an
easy mark.
There are many perfectly legitimate
prize offers advertised in various periodi-
Gals, but those which require payment of
cash before the prize is delivered are gen.
orally fraudulent and should be stunned.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM

There has been an Indian problem in
the United States ever since its earliest set
Element, but that problem is being solved
by the gradual absorption of the Red Man
into our general population, according to
former Secretary Wilbur of the Depart
ment of the Interior
We have about $4,000 persons of In
dian blood in the entire country, of whom
about one-third are in Oklahoma. The rest
are widely scattered among 25 states, but
even the reservation Indians are intermar-
rying with the white population and are
rapidly assuming the white mans manner
of living. A notable exception to this
general trend is seen among the Navajos Of
Arizona, who have reservation as large
as New Jersey and still hold aloof from the
paleface.
It is the policy of the government to
encourage the remaining Indians to obtain
education and training with view to their
giving up reservation life and taking their
places among the Independent citizenship
of the country. There are maintained 293
day and boarding schools for Indian pupils
where instruction, food, lodging and cloth
ing are furnished free by Uncle Sam These
are privileges granted to no other element
of our population.
DR.. Wilbur declares that it has become
obvious that the Red Man eventually must
lose his identity and become as the rest of
rs, and adds: From a sentimental stand
point there is much to regret in this fact
but it is none the less inevitable"
