tural commodities, produced this year

First to Be Fired Is w. J.

PLOMASEN SUCCEEDS HIM
Senator Hamilton Also Ousted;
No Need to Replace Him,
Says New Chief

The axe fell Monday in the state
highway department, as Bert M. Sails
bury, new commissioner, took over the
reignS.
First to feel the bite was w. j.
Flanagan, state maintenance engi-
neer, state representative and staunch
supporter Of ousted Governor william
LANCER.
Within a few moments after Sails
bury took office, Flanagan was re-
placed by T. 6. Plomasen Of Bis
marck, former maintenance engineer
of the department from April. 1928,
to March. 1888.
Sweeping an executive eye about his
department, Plomasen removed State
Senator D. H. Hamilton from his posi-
ton as superintendent Of equipment.
Others who were fired" included
Roy Frazier Of Wiliston, removed as
maintenance superintendent, H. E.
Paul Of Bismarck, also maintenance
superintendent. and p. H. McGurren
Of Minot, listed as inspector.
Positions Of Hamilton and McGur-
rem will not be refilled, Plomasen said.
He deemed them unnecessary to the
department.
Others are scheduled to be relieved
Of their duties during the coming
days, Plomasen said, as he checks va
rious sub-departments under his con-
troll. Some positions will be abolish
ed. others will be consolidated.
To Cut Down Overhead
Supervising expenses have seemed
to run high" Plomasen said, I'VE are
checking them carefully with q view
to cutting them down."
One Of the first steps of Salisbury
will be to validate contracts, signed by
vogel for road work throughout the
state. The federal government has
refused to recognize Vogels signature
as legal.
Federal road officials were notified
at once that Salisbury had taken over
the office Of highway commissioner.
His act releases for use Of contrac-
tors once more q $500, 900 trust fund
Of government, money, which federal
authority clamped shut last week.
Vogel has resisted all attempts to
remove him as highway commissioner
until he was removed legally by order
Of the state supreme court" He ex-
pressed himself as glad to be out Of
it."

new STRATEGY seen
ON SEAWAY PROJECT
Emphasis Will Be Placed on Wa.
terpower Development,
Not Commerce

Washington, Aug. 6.-(R,-Water-
power and not ships is expected to be
stressed in the administrations eff
forts to get the St. Lawrence treaty
ratified by the next senate.
Those who followed the unsuccess-
full strategy Of President Roosevelt's
senate forces in the treaty fight last
session foresee this shift in empha-
sis. There are two reasons, they say:
The argument that sank the Can
adian-American treaty last session
revolved largely around shipping.
Opponents said the northern inter-
national seaway that would permit
vessels to travel from the heart of
the continent to the st. Lawrence and
thence to the open ocean would si-
phon American commerce from the
Atlantic and Gulf ports.
The plea for ratification on the
ground that, in addition to the sea-
way the project would mean more and
cheaper power for the public trans
cends. in the opinion Of pro-treaty
men, the regional opposition that
previously defeated ratification. It
fits in with one of Mr.. Roosevelt's
oldest and most-frequently used
pleas to the public.
The president served warning, when
the senate tossed out the treaty by q
a to IS vote, that he would press for
approval next session. Last week,
speaking on the site OF one Of the
great power projects Of the nation,
the Columbia river locale, he said
fatty:
1.-THE st. Lawrence is going to be
started"
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to seek
many Of the added votes needed for
a two-thirds majority from the ranks
Of his own party. OF the Il mays" q
were Democratic.

DR.. MEAD EXPLAINS
VIEWS ON EXODUS
FROM DR0UTH AREA
Claims He Was Misquotsd in
Declaring Slope Should
Be Evacuated

Minot, N. D., Aug. 6.-(FeFlat de-
NAL that he Ut any time expressed .
belief that there should be an exodus
of people from the drouth areas, Is
made by DR.. Ewood Mead Of WASH
ington. D. c., in . letter received
Monday by Attorney G. D. Aaker,
president Of the Minot Association Of
Commerce.
A report that DR.. Mead had made
such statement had stirred up q
hornets nest OF criticism in many
parts Of the country, and Attorney
Aaker had written to the commits
sioner to inquire whether he had
been correctly quoted.
In explanation, DR.. Mead says:
The supposed statement which has
attracted so much attention was the
outcome Of q talk with several re-
porters which ! had. The one who
wrote that article, 20 far o I know,
took no notes. What told him was
Of certain conferences that I had had
with citizens Of South Dakota and
Montana and Of another conference
we had with respect to conditions In
southeastern Colorado. ! did not ct
any time express my belief that there
should be an exodus and do not
hold such q view.
Act on Requests Only
II did tell them that We were, in
response to requests, prepared to CO.
operate in finding homes wherever
possible on federal projects for those
who desired to move. The number Of
such homes, however, would not pro-
vide for any large movement Of peo-
pie. Singular Is It may seem, I never
saw the article which has attracted
50 much attention. The first I knew
about 1t was when I began to receive
letters.
Let me now state my view. There
are certain areas In the arid and
semi-arid region where farming on
l60-acre homesteads cannot succeed,
but II that same country was made
into larger homesteads 20 that farms
could have . reserve Of food supplies
for the dry years, 1t would be . safe
and satisfactory kind Of agriculture.
I do not look to see these changes
come suddenly or Is . result Of any
government action, but - IN evolu-
ton based on . better understanding
Of conditions and Of the need Of
adopting agriculture which viii con-
serve soil fertility, lessen erosive wind
action and combine growing crops
with the raising Of stock. In time.
for those who are not contented or
feel that they must move, I believe
that the irrigation districts where
there q water supply ample to pro-
tect them from drouth, u . safe and
attractive place to found Z new home.
"Thk bureau does not have any
connection with any organisation for
moving people. off the farms they
now occupy. We only cooperate where
requests are made Of US either BY In
dividuals Or organisatious. I regret
that the unloading statement ap-
peared. I an confident that the re-
porter did not intend TO mislead or
TO misstate my position, but lack Of
familiarity With the subject and the
lack Of notes on what said. caused

Chicago Officers Act to Avert
Violence and Drying Up
of Supply.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January Claw enforce
ment officers were organizing their
forces to prevent possible violence in a
milk strike, called for today, while
others took steps to prevent drying up
Of the city's supplies.
The strike was ordered by the Pure
Milk Association, which claims to con-
troll so per cent of the flow of milk here,
in an attempt to get better prices for the
$4,000 dairy farmers represented in the
organization who ship their products
into the metropolitan area from q
radius of 100 miles.
Sl.49 Price Is Rejected.
Although the city ordinarily pro-
hibits milk shipments from beyond a
distance of 100 miles from Chicago on
the ground far-away' dairies cannot be
inspected regularly, DR.. Herman D.
Bundesen, commissioner Of health, said
his organization would see to 1t that the
milk is supplied and that the mayor
would provide for its delivery. He
added milk could be brought in from
beyond the 100-mile zone and that he
would see that it was properly inspected

Violations Charged.
In addition to the matter Of prices,
the association complained that there
had been lack of enforcement of the
licensing provisions of the Chicago milk
marketing agreement, from which the
organization recently withdrew.
The withdrawal was based on the
contention that the smaller independ-
'ent dalrieS had refused to abide by the
agreements IL cents quart retail price
and sold milk at cents a quart and
upward on the cash and carry basis,
causing the farmer members of the
Milk Association TO suffer a reduction

The farmers, said Don N. Geyer, gen.
eral manager and secretary of the Pure
Milk Association wished the licensing
provisions of the milk marketing agree
ment enforced. adding that "the boys
will withhold their milk until it is"
He blamed the small dealers for the
strike, saying that if they had consented

LABOR MAPS DRIVE
FOR 3O-HOUR WEEK
Wagner Joins in Views, but
Suggests Reduction Through
Code Authority. a..
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Organized labor, with an assurance
OF some sympathy in both the Senate
and House, today drew plans for a
legislative drive to bring a 30-hour
work week into all industries.
Senator Wagner chairman of the
National Labor Board. disclosed today
he is working on legislation to revise
the labor section of the national re-
covery act and to vest additional pow
ers in the Labor Board.
Shorter working hours were advocat-
ed by Wagner also, but he expressed
belief the reductions should be made by
code authorities and administrators
rather than by Congress.
1T favor a reduction of hours" he
said, but I don't want to see an in
fiexivle rule AS general proposition, !

Leaders of the American Federation

outspoken in advocating 30-hour week
for all the Nations industries.

country" Connery said, that 30-hour
week in all industry is essential if we
are to put enough men to work to
