COURT CONTEMPT
HEARING FAILS .
TO TAKE PLACE
Defendants Fooled When
They Appear On the
Date Set
By a Worker Corresnondent


BISMARCK, N. D., April 15.-
The hearings of Kay Heikkila and
Henry Wallace, both of this city,
on contempt of court" charges
arising out of the Westby penny
sale case, to be held today before
U. S. Commissioner S. A. Floren,
failed to materialize. Having in
formed both defendants of the
date before witnesses, Mr.. Floren
today, after waiting over half an
hour, informed all concerned that
the actual date of the hearing was
April 25.
This action was one of two
things: Either he tried to get us
to his office and have us waive
hearing, thereby releasing him
from all further responsibility, or
he knowingly informed US of a
wrong date simply to make things
more difficult, being fully aware
that the defense of workers is de-
pendent on the finances of work
ers' organizations, and in this pc
riod this cannot be very extensive
Whatever was the motive, Mr.
Floren has put himself in a very
bad position. One of the bonds.
men had a sick aged mother who
might need him at any moment
and although informed of this ir
a letter he admitted receiving, Mr.
Floren insisted upon the bondsmer
appearing at this wrong date.
These tactics will take a great
deal of explaining, especially since
the members of the prosecution al
pride themselves on their high cul
ture and civilization. Workers cal
never accept such actions, and ev
en- though the wrath of the mas
ters burns high, our protests viii
continue and the struggle will q,
on to victory.

STORMS CAUSING
DUST, DAMAGE
Millions of Acres of Fertile
Top-soil Are Laid
Waste

Storms that have been raging
throughout the country have taken
a large toll of lives and much dam
age has been done to land and
buildings. Tornadoes have des-
troyed towns and caused the death
of more than a score of people.
Ravaging dust storms have laid
waste millions of acres of wheat
fields in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas
and Nebraska and other states.
Nearly 40 people have lost their
lives in the last few days. Trains
and BUSES have been delayed for
hours. Many places it was neces-
sary to close business places and
schools for several days. From
other schools comes the report that
for three days children had to re-
main at the schools or with nearby
farmers.
People are fleeing from north
western Oklahoma away from the
dust-ravaged country. Farmers
whose farms were once fertile and
producing land are now barren
wasteland, that will take years and
years to bring back to productiv-
ity.
Livestock las also suffered
greatly during the dust storms
Many have contracted what is call
ed "dust pneumonia"

again this year are facing a droutE

HAY STEAL

sioners Olson and Tango, R. G..
Tyler, Leo Zeidler, Glenn Mccoy,
Senator Lars Angvick, Louis
Marsh and Phil Zeibarth.
Lars Angvick spoke in favor Of
lowering the price of hay, point
ing out that the farmers were I'M
able to pay the present price of
$21 per ton, and that lot of hay
would be left in the county if the
present price was maintained. It
was then decided that the spoiled
and rotten hay could be sold as
low as $40 per ton. Mr.. Quinn
made the remark that, if the good
hay could not be disposed of at
the present price, they could re-
ship it to North Dakota, Minnesota
and Kansas.
Louis Marsh is a farmer living
southwest of Plentywood. Every
summer he puts up lots of hay,
much more than he needs for his
own use. He is selling hay at
prices as high as the traffic will
bear. During the winter he has
been running a ebay for sale" ad
in the Plentywood Herald. He has
hay for sale right now. Mr.. Marsh
is a member of the county ebay
board" also known as the "drouth
board" This board consists of
three members, Louis Marsh, Gus
Wagner and R. G. Tyler. It is
also claimed that Mr.. Prendergast
is a member of this board and
functions in the capacity of advis-
er.
Phil Zeibarth, the Occident Ell
evator man, is the hay dealer. All
government hay going out of Plen-
tywood is handled by him. Fol
this he receives $1.OO per ton in
handling charges. Part of the
hay is stored at the elevator. AT
times a carload of hay has beer
unloaded at the track in the fore
noon, hauled to near the relief of
flee and stacked there, then in the
afternoon of the same day the
same hay has been taken from the
stack, hauled to the elevator anC
unloaded.
1t might also be we'll to remem.
Der here that Mr.. Ziebarth was
the man Prendergast appointed or
the grievance committee at the
time that committee was set up il
a hurry, to prevent the people il
the county from having any say
in the matter.
After the meeting of March 20
Louis Marsh, the member of the
ebay board" went to Phil lie
barth and made a deal for 100 ton
of government hay, for which h
gave Ziebarth a check for $500
which is SIS per ton. The agree
ment was that he should have al
of the stack furthest north, il
which was supposed to be GO tons
Just what stack he would get tn,
other 80 tons from was not de
cided at the time. After this dea
was made Mr.. Marsh was heard t.
say that SIS ton was cheape
than he could put it up for him
self, and if he could not sell
this year he could keep it over til
the next.
Somehow the news of this dea
has leaked out, and they are nov
trying to cover it up as best the
can by saying the north stack wa
poor and spoiled hay and full O

wire grass. Any statement of that
kind is absolutely untrue. The
north stack was the very best hay
Of its kind, cut green and well
cured. 1t was slough hay, that
part is true enough, but it was
free from wire grass and weeds.
and was just as good slough hay
as that which they are selling at
the Raymond elevator for SIT per
ton.
Through the investigation we
have made, we have come to the
conclusion that the party or par
ties directly responsible are either
the ebay board" Phil Ziebarth. E.
]. Prendergast, Charles B. Quinr,
or all of them. And if state
ment to the contrary is not forth
coming for publication, we will
take it for granted that they are
the guilty parties, and will insist
on an investigation being made.
That hay has been sold for SIS
ton is not what we are object
ing to. What we object to is, that
hay is sold for speculation purpos-
es while farmers cattle and horses
are starving, because the farmer
must pay four times as much for
his hay as the Spectator can buy
it for.
While the farmers stock is
starving for lack of feed, thous-
ands of tons of hay are stacked all
over the county, not because the
farmers do not need it, but be-
cause they can not afford to pay
the price. Farmers are charged
around $40 per ton while speculat-
ors can buy it for SIS.
AS long as government hay here
has been sold to spectators for
SIS per ton, in the interest of the
farmers, we demand that all hay
left in Sheridan county be sold to
the farmers at the same price (S5)
or less, per ton-not for specula-
ton purposes but according to
each farmers need. In order to
do the farmers any good, this must
be acted on at once, and we in
sist that those responsible for the
above mentioned deal see to it
that this is done without delay
When this is done, there will be
no hay left here to rot during the
! summer.

a great deal of applause from these

that the AAA was class legisla-

For the first time the committee
