dent of the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Clerks for the Great Northern Lines,

gram sponsored by the Grand Forks

voters. he urged q cooperative pro-
gram to replace an individualistic and
capitalistic program that encourages

Washington, Sept. 4.-(R-The M.
tons textile strike gained nomen'
tum Tuesday but the projected gen.
eral walkout was far from complete.
The great textile centers Of Man.
chester, N. H., and New Bedford
Mass, were at standstill and Fal
Rivers plants were crippled.
A survey Of the strike situation al
Charlotte, N. c., center Of textile
strife in the south, showed: workers
idle, 8l,7s0: workers on jobs, 10000;
mills closed, 229; mills running with
skeleton forces, 90: mills operating
practically at normal or normally
200. The figures were estimated to
include SO per cent Of the Carolinas
cotton textile industry.
Claims Of management and labor
as to the actual number on strike
were sharply conflicting. Francis J.
German, chairman Of the strike CON-
mittee, predicted that all union men,
bers-some 800, 00O-would be on
strike Tuesday night and that non-
union workers leaving the mills would
make the strike IS per cent complete
by Friday.
German, thrusting pins into a map
to show where strikes were in pro-
gress, scoffed at manufacturers re-
ports that the strike was failing.
German Predicts Success
"On the basis Of detailed returns
received in strike headquarters the
walkout Is Z tremendous success" he
said.
Accusing George A. Sloan. presi-
dent Of the Cotton Textile Institute
of "whistling to keep up his courage
German said Of Sloan's estimate that
only 81 per cent had struck In the
south Monday:
well, that's pretty generous, for
him."
Apprehension was felt over possibil-
tiles Of violence as the general walk
out was put to its first big test.
National guardsmen are on duty In
some sections Of South Carolina,
ordered out by Governor Blackwood
q: the request Of the sheriff Of Green
vile county.
There was no bloodshed on the first
day Of the strike, but the full effect
Of the walkout order could not be de.
termined because many Of the mills
were closed Monday for Labor Day.
Tuesday is the first full working day
III textile centers since the cali to
strike was ordered.
Sloan said reports from cotton
mills in the south showed that $4,000
employees were working and 81 600
were idle. Sloan asserted the pre-
ponderant majority" Of southern
workers were not in sympathy with
the strike.
In various textile centers labor
leaders urged the workers to stand
firm in their purpose, and Thomas +.
Mcmahon, president Of the union
textile workers, declared in an ad-
dress ut Providence, r. l., that the

BIZ RetrQctiOn in Post
Errors Of Morris Markey's Ar.

Magazine Editorial

North Dakota's sound banking
structure has been indicated by TIL
Saturday Evening Post, the sam,
publication which OH last Aug. car
ried an article by Morris Marley, il
which this states banks were grossl.
maligned.
A blanket retraction of Markey'.
erroneous figures on North Dakota
banks is made in an editorial appear.
ing in the Saturday Evening Post OF
Sept. 5, which already is in circula-
ton.
! The erroneous article caused a
storm of protest from North Dakota
citizens and officials and, to stop the
flood of mail into his office in regard
to Markey,s article, Editor George
Horace Loriner several days ago an
nounced that his publication would
retract in the earliest possible issue
of the Post.
The retraction editorial follows:
THE NORTH DAKOTA BANKS
I'm an article entitled Northwest
ern Agriculture, published in The Sat
urday Evening Post OF August fourth
the author, Mr.. Morris Markey, made
incorrect statements about banking
conditions in the state of North Da-
kota. The facts, as stated officially
by the State Examiner, are as follows:
THE records Of his office show that
on March 4. 1888, the day the bank
holiday was declared, there were
exactly l49 state banks and trust CON-
panies and 70 national banks, or a
total of 228 banking institutions func-
tioning in that state. OF the 149
state banks affected by the closing
order, l35 have been reopened on an
unrestricted basis; five are still in
the process of reorganization; five
have gone into voluntary liquidation
and have paid their depositors in
full; one bank was eliminated through
consolidation, and only three have
gone into receivership. While he has
no definite figures covering national
banks. he is satisfied that the per-
centage is just as favorable in rela-
ton to these institutions as is in
dicated in the case of state banks. In
other words, less than three per cent
OF the banks of North Dakota which
were in operation at the time of the
bank holiday have remained closed.
1T is further noted, as an indica-
ton of the sound basis on which these
banks were reopened, that of the 1856
reopened, 1913 have been accepted for
membership in the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the remain
ing seven have elected to make no
application for this protection for the
reason that they felt that their con-
dition was so strong and liquid as to
make this insurance unnecessary.
1T was stated in Mr.. Markey's
article that the affairs of the banks
which remained closed were taken
over by the State Bank Of North Da-
kota. The Bank Of North Dakota,
which is the correct title Of the in
stitution controlled and operated by
the State Of North Dakota, has never
had anything to do with the handling
or liquidation Of closed banks. Fur
thermore, the North Dakota Bank
ers Association points out that none
Of the bonded indebtedness Of the
state has ever at any time been de-
linquent either as to principal or in
terest."

FIRST SUBSISTENCE
H0MESTEADS IN n. D,
AWAITING APPROVAL
100000 Project for Miners,
North OF Minot, to Be First
Of Kind in State

Beginning Of the 100000 subsist-
ence homestead project for miners at
Burlington, first Of it's kind to be un-
dertaken In the state, Tuesday await
ed approval Of the new North Dakota
Rural Rehabilitation corporation by
Washington authorities.
Articles Of incorporation and other
legal requirements have been drawn
and forwarded to the national CAPT.
tai several days ago by state FERA
authorities.
The Burlington project, north OF
Minot, will be one Of the most am
bilious Of its type In this section OF
the country.
Two tracts Of land In the Mouse
river valley, approximately nine miles
northwest Of Minot, have been sur
veyed, and plans for various types OF
homes and for irrigation systems
have been drawn, according to I. A.
Acker, director Of rural rehabilitation
projects.
Actually two projects in one, the
first Is located within q half-mile Of
Burlington. The land to be pur-
chased amounts to los acres, "a Of
which are irrigable. The remaining
10 acres would be used for pastur-
age.
Water would be pumped into the
canal system to be built, from reser-
voirs created In the Des Laos river by
erection Of earth fill dams. One res
ervoir has been completed by CWA
workers. A second dam, at the low
er end Of the project will impound
water sufficient to provide for 50
acres.
Homes TO Cost $3.50
The second project is q mile north
west Of Burlington. with q total Of
IS acres, 70 OF which will be placed
under irrigation.
Total cost Of the first project, in
which Il cottages, averaging in cost
$l,9l9.50, will be built, is ~, 1e8.57.
Twelve homes of the cottage type
will be built on the site Of the Sec
ond project at cost OF $23,034. To-
tai cost Of the second project will be
$46,229.10.
Homes Of the cottage type seem to
be preferred by the 81 families who
have made application for home
steads. The homes will be one story
tall, averaging five rooms to the
building.
Five to seven acres will 90 with
each home, which will be purchased
from the government on q rent basis.
Acker said.
It is expected that completion Of
the plan will enable many Of the
miners to become home and
to become independent Of relief rolls
during the summer months when no
work Is available in the Ignite coal
mines.
I'VE believe the tracts will enable
the miner to have sufficiently large
garden to enable him to raise enough
to feed his family and to have some
left over to SELL" Acker said. 1T win
be possible. too, for the home-owuers
to keep q COW and chickens"
Possibly 20 years may be given each
purchaser In which to pay for the
home he obtains, Acker said.
Similar projects are also under con-
temptation at Williston, Beulah and
Hazen, although plans have not been
drawn for them, Acker said.
