STRIKERS SEND
ENVOY HERE

Carrying claim Of company
discrimination against union or
ganizers to the bituminous medi-
tation board for adjudication, a
representative of LOO striking
miners at Moutour No. 10 mine of
the Pittsburgh Coal Company
left for Washington today.
The move was regarded as the
only means of breaking the dead
lock between union workers and
the officials, local arbitration
having failed to bring the last
1000 men of the two idle strike
sector mines back to work today.
Lilly mine of the Valley Camp
Coal Company remained idle to-
day as miners waited the outcome
of the conference this afternoon.

President Roosevelt also told
Johnson he would like to see him
get some rest, but johnson would
not agree.
Johnson, his wife said, usually
gets six hours sleep. Sometimes
not over five hours.
He has the rare faculty of be-

a short period.

An airplane ride affords him a

lies awake worrying.
Just how much weight the gen.

to say. But he has added a few
pounds since he began wrestling

labor over the conference table.
He eats three square meals a

HAVANA, Aug. IS G.N.SO
The tyrant Gerardo Machado was
driven from office by revolt of
the junior officers in the Cuban
army.
Banded together, it was our
firm purpose for many months to
help the Cuban people rid them
selves Of the oppreSsor Machado,
who usurped powers illegally for
his second term as President, and
whose regime was dedicated to
thefts, killings, and prosecutions.
We decided that if the oppor-
tune moment arrived. we would
stage a coupe de grace. We were
ready to sacrifice our lives to
save Cuba from the tyrant.
In Touch With WelIeS
In recent weeks we watched
with great interest the process OF
mediation by United States Am
bassador Welles.
We kept in touch with each
step in the mediation through DR..
Albones Wilferdo and DR.. Cosme
de Ia Torriente.
When the American Govern
ment delivered its ultimatum to
Machado, we inquired indirect
ly of Ambassador Welles whether
we could obtain some notice be-
fore the ultimatum expired.
We felt the ultimatum meant
American intervention. and we
wanted to know the last moment
we would have to take action
against Machado before the time
limit would expire.
At 1880 o'clock on the night
of August 10, Thursday, we
learned the ultimatum would eX-
pire at midnight, August IL.
Argued for Revolution
That night a group of younger
officers went to Comdr. Pho

Devils Lake, N. d.. June 30.-lP)-
Usher L. Burdick, Fargo, was re-elect-
ed president of the North Dakota
Holiday association at the annual
three-day convention here Thursday.
Other officers elected are Oliver
Rosenberg, New Rockford, first vice
president; Charles Stretch, Maxbass,

tary-treasurer. Congressman William
Lemke was unanimously selected as
delegate to the National Holiday con-
vention.
Three are to be selected to the ex-
ecutive committee.
John A. Simpson, president Of the
National Farmers Union, principal
speaker, reviewed the history OF the
Holiday association. He said its men,
bers were the courageous minority"
who made the "cowardly majority"
be good, saying the cowardly major
ity were always satisfied and the cour-
ageous minority were those who
changed conditions. This was his
definition of the strike.
He said human rights are above all
else. Laws, governments and consti-
tutions were set up to take care OF
human rights but when they fail then
human rights have the right to tram
pie laws" He declared the Judge who
thinks that decisions should be estab-
lished on precedent should be i'm
peached before he is elected
Need Mortgage Relief
He said there were three things the
Farmers Union and Farmers Holiday
Association were seeking. The first
is life saver in the river of mort
cages" which he described as the
Frazier bill.
The second was cost of production
plus a reasonable profit amendment IN
farm relief legislation and the third
was an honest dollar"
He scored big bankers and made q
plea for banks which would be oper-
ated by the government where every
one would have an honest dollar.
you've got to get every farmer in
to your farm organization" Simpson
said.
He characterized the Holiday asso-
citation as a militant organization.
He said some progress has been
made In farm relief and added the
government should see that the farm
ers are financed"
North Dakota is pioneer in the
movement Of the common people for
betterment OF all people," he said In
mplimenting the North Dakota Or
ganization on It's efforts for farm re-
lief.
Thursday night Gov. LANCER spoke

National Farm Holiday association
president, was scheduled.

Currency Sterilization and 9th.
or Questions Cut Wall
Street Trade

New York. June 30.-(P)-Financial
markets generally maintained an at
tlude Of cautious contemplation Fri
day in the face of currency stabiliza-
ton uncertainties.
While there was some profit-taking
IN securities and commodities, the
speculative fraternity apparently was
highly confused over the internation-
al monetary situation. Grains were
inclined to rally, after dipping earlier,
but cotton moved indifferently. The
stock trading volume was consider
ably under that of Thursday. A few
speciality shares attracted attention
but most pivotal issues held to a mar
row range. The dollar shuffled a
round its Thursdays closing levels in
foreign exchange centerS.
The alcohol share group and its al
lied members jumped about rather
erratically. Rails and mining equities
were steady to firm. Delaware g.
Hudson got up 4, Homestake Mining
spurted 9, Canada Dry Ginger Ale
ran up 4, and Union Pacific, Lehman
Corp, American Rolling Mills, Deere,
Celanese, U. S. Industrial Alcohol, Ma
tional distillers, Crown Cork and AM
$rican Telephone recorded gains of
around to points. The tobaccos
were rather heavy.
Rallies in the rails, mining and
speciality equities gave stocks firm
appearance at the close, with gains
il a number of issues ranging from /
to 2 or more points. The turnover
dwindled to approximately 100000
shares.

BUYING MOVEMENT
HITS GRAIN MART
And PRICES RISE
Wheat Sells At Four Cents
Above Early Low Point in
Pit At Chicago

Chicago, June 80. - (R - With a
broad buying movement sweeping In
to the speculative pits late Friday,
wheat kited to 4 cents above early low
prices.
Late strength was based largely on
apprehension that crop damage had
nullified benefits from rains north
west and west.
Much buying, too, was stimulated
owing to expectations that private
crop summaries to be issued Monday
would disclose startling curtailment
OF indicated yields.
Wheat closed nervous at about q
cent under the days top figures but
1s-7s over Thursdays finish, July
90a-a, Sept. 93h-5s; corn 1872 up.
July 52-52A, Sept. 57-57h; oats rs
IN advanced, and provisions varying
from 10 cents decline to rise Of 2
cents
An accumulation Of overnight SELL
ing orders tumbled wheat values at
the start but pit spectators took
promptly to the buying side and rapid
upturnS ensued. Then the market
ran into active selling on the part of
houses with eastern connections. Re-
sultant setbacks carried prices down
in some cases to under the days initial
figures, with the market unusually
nervous and often switching cent 4
bushel within few minutes.
Forecasts Of additional moisture and
cooler weather In the spring crop belt
were emphasized by sellers Of wheat.
Corn and oats displayed relative firm
ress as compared with wheat. Part OF
the corn belt, Nebraska in particular
virtually escaped moisture.
Provisions averaged lower With
grains.
