mitted suicide since Feb. IL at
Mount Mihara on Oshima Island,

from all parts Of the country.

Charles A. Swanson, one of the de-
PENDANTS who has represented the
second commissioners district for
more than Is years, denied that he
had entered into any deal of ANY
name. nature or description with The
Bismarck Tribune company, or any
OF its representatives or agents" with
regard to printing contract which
was made the basis OF the complaint
against the three commissioners.
Axel Solder and H. F. Tiedman, tho
other defendants, made similar de-
malls.
Swanson said that In 1881 all five
commissioners voted to extend a con-
tract for county printing and sup
plies then in force with The Bismarck
Tribune but that three days later the
action was rescinded and it was de-
cided to advertise for bids. The con-
tract then was awarded to the Quick
Print, he said, but he voted no" be-
cause the bid of that firm was chang
ed after 1t was opened, either by Con-
rad or by George F. Will, commission
chairman, by adding some additional
writing to it. Another reason, he said,
was that he compared the bid with
the old contract, which it had been
proposed to renew, and found the old
contract to be cheaper for the coun-
ty.
Would Save Money
In 1888. he said, he voted to renew
a contract which had been given to
The Tribune in 1892 at a 10-per-cent
discount, the consideration being a
10-per-cent reduction in prices. He
said the proposition was made by j.
F. Fortenberry, Tribune representa-
tive, In open meeting and that he had
no knowledge that such a proposal
was to be made prior to the time 1t
was offered.
Two days later. he said. Conrad
and Orr protested and in April they
presented a written "remonstrance"
to the board, objecting to its action
in not asking for new bids. He said
they also appeared before the board
In April and made further protest.
Asked by McCurdy about his con-
ception OF the law governing the
boards action, Swanson said he had
received several different versions Of
the law, that he did not believe adj
vertising was necessary and that he
considered it hts duty to take the
cheapest price for the county. His
experience In 1881, when it would
have been cheaper to renew the old
contract, influenced his decision, he
said.
He said Tiedman and Solder went
to see States Attorney George F.
Register to ascertain the legality Of
extending the contract, were told the
question was in doubt and, at Regis
ter's suggestion. the board passed q
resolution barring all but emergency
purchases under the extended con-
tract until an opinion should be ready
ruling on the matter. Register told
him, he said, that A. ]. Gronna, now
attorney general. had written an
opinion to the Williams county board,
when he was states attorney Of that
county. saying it was not necessary to
advertise for bids.
McCurdy objected, saying that

DOCTOR SALARY
FREE Of TAX

BALTIMORE, Aug. %. DR..
Robert P. Bays position as chief
medical examiner for the Indus
trial Accident Commission was
compared to that of an expert
stenographer in an income tax
ruling just handed down by Edgar
j. Goodrich, member of the
United States Board of Tax APP
pealS.
Holding that DR.. Bays salary is
exempt from Federal income tax
as coming from Government in
strumentality, Goodrich pointed
but that the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue at Washington
ruled it was taxable because the
physician was mot an officer or
employe of the State, but an in
dependent contractor"
This finding, the opinion said.
was based on the contention that
"since no member of the COM
mission was physician, the COM
mission failed to retain the right
to control the petitioners services
fully, as it could not direct him
as to how his work should be
done"
But Goodrich contends that the
commissioners reasoning. in ef-
tect, is the same as to say that
IAN expert stenographer could not
be an employe for the reason that
the commission members, perhaps,
were unable to write in the cryptic
hleroglyphics known as shorthand
and could not give instructions as
to which keys of the typewriter
should be pressed"

ROOSEVELT FOR
RUSHING CODE
FOR COAL
Operators Fighting Against SIS
Day, 30-Hour Week; Open
Shop Also an Issue
BY International News Service

President roosevelt today
urged speeding up the efforts to
bring coal magnates and labor
into an agreement on a fair code
of competition for the bituminous
coal industry.
The President was described in
authoritative circles as taking
unusual interest in breaking the
long-standing deadlock over
coal code.
The President was consulted
by National Recovery Admins
traitor Hugh S. johnson by long
distance telephone to his Hyde
Park estate this morning. while
conferences between NRA officials
and representatives Of the coal
industry were continued.
May Take Week
Progress was reported in recon-
cling differences between the
coal-producing areas, but it ap-
peared possible that negotiations
might continue most of the week.
The coal problem is regarded by
Johnson's aides as the most seri-
Gus yet faced by the Recovery Ad-
ministration. 1t was pointed out
that bituminous coal is the only
major industry which failed to
show profit as a whole during
the boom days. Because of this,
operators are reluctant to increase
their costs materially by shorten
ing hours of work and raising
wages.
One Of the largest operators
said he had received information
that his company had lost 5OO,-
00O-ton coal contract through the
substitution Of natural gas.
The operators have indicated
that they would oppose to the last
ditch the mine workers proposal
for a SIS day minimum and a 30
hour week.
Open Shop An Issue
Both the coal and automobile
codes may be delayed until John
son issues his promised clarifica-
ton Of the Recovery Administra-
tion's attitude toward the open
and closed shop. This issue has
been raised in both these indus
tries.
equity Administrator r. w.
Lea, in charge Of the automobile
code, conferred wi h automobile
industry leaders, but indicated
that many obstacles must still be
hurdled before code can be pre-
sented to the President for ap-
proval.
Elimination of the declaration
of the automobile manufacturers
that they may continue their open
shop policy is expected. john
sons Interpretation probably will
serve as a general guide for both
manufacturers and labor.
