reason for discharging her could
not be found and they came along
with the lousy excuse of "retrench-

discharge of Miss Scherlie proves
nothing else, it shows at least that
the state relief administration is

CANADIAN RELIEF
STRIKERS ENTRAIN
DESPITE WARNING

REGINA, Sask., June 14.-The
vanguard of thousands of British
Columbia relief strikers, who are
marching on Ottawa, arrived here
today. Police had orders to dis
band them.
Approximately 1000 marchers
were in the first group. Thousands
of others were enroute from Moose
Jaw, the last previous stop.
The marchers were directed to
the Stadium at the Exhibition
Grounds for breakfast.
A later group Of about 1000
coming in on a freight train stop
ped several hours waiting for an
other train. The police told the
marchers they would not be al
lowed to board the train. If they
did there would be trouble.
The leaders of the marchels
sent out two radio calls asking the
people of Regina and surrounding
territory to meet in sufficient
numbers at the train to prevent
any trouble.
It was estimated that over 90
900 sympathizers gathered, and
consequently the police let the
marchers board the train without
interruption.

THE A.A.A. STARTS
ITS DESTRUCTION
CRAZE ONCE MORE

The latest thing the AAA has
found for its waste program is
the destruction of hides and skins.
1t began about two weeks ago
at Aberdeen, S. D., where $4,000
pounds of hides were chopped full
of holes, hauled to the city dump,
drenched with oil and burned to
make a thorough job of it.
At Winner, S. D., 10000 pounds
were destroyed in the same man.
ner, and the destruction goes on
in other places.
Farmers and workers are pro-
testing this wholesale waste Of
hides which are very much needed
for shoes and leather coats for
their families and harness for their
horses.
That means nothing to the AAA
experts. All they are interested in
is to boost prices sky-high.
The AAA hasn't even the excuse
Of an oversupply Of hides, as this
country for years has been a heavy
importer Of hides, and at present
comes nowhere near producing
enough for home use.

ing pulling stumps, moving rock
and pulling logs out of the weeds
so seed can be sowed when the
rains stop.
Not Very Pleasant
The New Deal Alaskan heaven
hasn't turned out to be much of a
heaven.
The only bright spot in the whole
layout is that there is plenty of
time to hunt and fish during the
bright nights. The only hitch in
that is the fact that to hunt any
sizeable game the settlers are sup
posed to get licenses. The non-resi-
dent licenses that they have to get
(theV haven't been there year
yeti will cost them $50 each. No
body has that much and so the
territorial game warden warned
them to stop hunting.
A little fishing is still done.
There has been lot of COM
plants about the prices the COM
missary charges the colonists for
the stuff they have to buy. For
Example, coffee pot costing about
40 cents here, they have to pay
slips for; a washtub costs them
1925 which would cost us about
a dollar, and yeast cakes cost ten
cents.
The colonists demanded an in
vestigation which up to now has
not materialized.
Swamp, rocks, mosquitoes, rain,
mud, and high prices take much
of the glow from the promised
land.
Perhaps before next spring some
of them may get the necessary
$50 and go hunting.

Williams County Tightens
Beer Hall Regulations

WILLISTON, N. D.-The coun-
ty commissioners of Williams
county are severely Tightening the
regulations concerning beer halls.
All beer dispensaries outside of in
corporated localities were ordered
closed daily at one o'clock a. m.
instead of at two as prescribed by
state law. No music or entertain
ment is allowed after midnight in
places where beer is dispensed.
They are not allowed to open be-
fore / p. m. on Sundays, and there
shall be no music nor entertain
ment or dancing at any time on
Sunday.
Incorporated places in the coun-
ty are adopting similar regula-
tions. 1t is not expected that these
regulations will harm such enter
prises as Brush Lake and others
in Sheridan county.

GRAIN DOWN AS
SPECTATORS SEE
CROP PROSPECTS
Organization Are Needed to
Stop Collectors After
Fall Harvest

AS crop prospects improve in
many parts Of the country, the
prices are being driven downward
in the grain markets.
The wheat crop is expected to
be about 7O0,000,000 bushels for
the first time since 1882. The
oats crop will be about double the
last years crop or about 100000
900 bushels. The rye crop is esti-
mated about 100000 compared
to 100000 for the year before.
These crop estimates do not
mean that it already has been har-
vested but that according to all
indications crops of that size will
be had.
This means, of course, that the
men in the grain markets who are
specializing on grain are already
busy pushing the prices down.
The New York prices have been
manipulated in the following man
ner, with other markets running
suit:
Wheat, from a high of SLOT on
April %, was sent to SO cents on
June 8.
Rye, from 80 on Jan. to go
on June 3.
Corn, from $1.08 on Jan. 10 tc
so on June 3.
Oats, from SO on Jan. 10 to go
on June 8.
Every time rain comes along
the prices for grain are sent an
other step toward the cellar.
Next fall when the crops are
harvested, the same grain specu'
lators will try to drive prices t.
rock bottom, while the banks anC
government seed loan collectors
will stand in long lines behind the
farmers doors trying to collect.
We will be asked to pay bach
the seed at the rate of about three
four or five bushels for one. The
sheriffs will try to start hauling
off grain to pay the loans.
That will be the time for al
farm organizations to be in th'
field in their full equipment.

unfair and unjust and should be
done away with entirely.
Victor Anker Of Outloko made
the statement that in order to get
light to his farm, he paid the COM
pany $3.50 for putting up three
poles and a small transformer, and
every month he pays $500 as a
minimum charge, although the am
cunt of juice used did not come
to that amount according to the
regular rate.
Hans Rasmussen stated that at
the Producers News plant they
were paying 81 per month for nine
lxilowatts of power each month,
That this was unreasonable was
admitted by the company's repre-
sentative but he didn't seem TO
think anything could be done tc
correct It.
From the statements made, we
could not help but get the impress
sion that everybody was slSimpinp

Alaska COlOnists Find
Promises Not So Hot

PALMER, Alaska.-Events are
not moving so smoothly for the
Alaskan colonists here. Open dis
satisfaction has come out in the
Wisconsin Michigan contingent be-
cause they have not been able to
get located.
Heavy rains have been the order
of the day. Trucks could not get
through to the sites because of the
muck. There is shortage of tents
and families are compelled to
double up with no safeguards for
their belongings from the weather.
Food, Water Shortage
In the nine camps set out, only
a few have been developed. There
are no wells and men have been
working night and day to settle
the water shortage. This water
questions is still more serious be-
cause the trucks can't get through,
Food is running short and has to
be very carefully allotted to each
ore.
Many of the settlers found them
selves trying to work land that
was more or less swamp and had
to be given new tracts. All this
means extra delay and more work
Others found their land too rough
and rocky to be able to raise any
thing on II and had to move far
Their off to find decent workable
soil. Men have to walk miles from
camp to their tracts.
Seventy cows and 60 horses were
held at Palmer for the colonist:

Nobody knows when that day will

STRIKE AT OMAHA
Police Shoot Into Crowd
Killing /, Wounding
Hundred

OMAHA, Neb., June 16.-With
martial law declared and troops
patrolling the streets, this city has
been converted into an armed camp
in a move to break the splendid
strike of the Omaha streetcar men.
Eighteen hundred Nebraska Ma
tional Guardsmen moved into the

gunfire attack by police Friday
night on crowds of strikers AMI
sympathizers. One man was killed
and many wounded in the shoot
ing. The total of wounded in
clashes with police on three sue
cessive nights is now nearly 100.
Trolley Cars Stopped
The working population Of the
city is firmly behind the strikers
and giving a magnificent demon
stration of solidarity in the face
of the armed government terror.
The effectiveness of their activity
was demonstrated when Lieuten-
ant Governor Walter H. Jurgen-
sen, who is acting governor, or
dered all trolley cars taken off the
streets at 6 o'clock last night.
The National Guardsmen were
sent into the. city by JurgenseL,
following a request by Mayor Roy
N. fowl of Omaha. They are sup
porting 200 policemen who have
been armed with riot guns, ready
to repeat their murderous attack Oh
Friday night.

forces, the 18th infantry of the u
S. army is being held in readiness

est struggles have taken place
Though Acting Gov. Jurgensen

that he would set up military
courts to try arrested strikers and
