Relief Gear
OF Williams
County Fired
Mass Pressure w a S
Cause of His
Dismissal

Williston, N. d. Organized
mass pressure of farmers and
workers Of Williams counay finally
succeeded in getting the local re-
lief administrator, E. r. Battien
dismissed. Battien was removed by
E. A. Wilson, state administrator,
when he returned here from a two
weeks vacation.
We had so many complaints and
so much trouble in Williams county
that it became necessary to re-
move Battien. There was much dis
sention," the State Relief Director
said regarding Battien's dismissal.
He gave no indication that the
local official would be given an
other position.
Made Drastic Cuts
Battien was put into office here
about five months ago. Already in
February he attempted to intro
duce some drastic relief cuts. This
brought farmers and workers up
in arms and a large number of
mass meetings demanded his dis
, missal. He was charged with I'M
sympathetic and rough treatment
of clients and there was proof of
plenty of irregularities in the con-
duct of his office which finally
brought about his dismissal.
Estelle Dale, case supervisor, is
in charge of the office until use
cessor can be found. w. D. Kelly
Burke county administrator, who
has been prominently named as
successor to Battien is now con-
sidered to be definitely out, ac-
cording to P. S. Bliss, district
FERA representative.

Director Irwin
Admits

Palmer, Alaska-Intolerable liv-
ing conditions have compelled for
ty of the colonists here to protest
to President Roosevelt, Senators
Couzens, Schall Vandenberg, La
Toilette and Harry Hopkins,
FERA head, and to Governor Troy
Of Alaska.
In asking for an investigation

DR.. ARNOLD MADE
MEDICAL DIRECTOR
BY RELIEF COMM.
Medical Claims from the
Counties Subject to
His Approval

HELENA, June 3d. DIR. James
Arnold of Helena has been made
medical director of the Montana
relief by a vote of the members
of the commission, and it will be
his duty TO pass on all claims of
physicians and surgeons in til CO.
unties of the state who render SER
vice to those who claim it as relief
patients.
The announcement was made by
Larry Duggan of Butte, member of
the commission.
"The fees will remain the same, "
said Mr.. Duggan, "but the county
medical boards have been discon-
tinued. There was much confusion.
Favored clinics and doctors got
their claims through but those not
so favored waited and are still
waiting.
under the new system or plan,
the claims will be submitted to DIR.
Arnold, a thoroughly competent
medical man, who will pass on
them. 1t is an ideal plan and will
work out for the benefit of those
who must have relief medical care
and prevent impositions."
The action of the relief commits
sion cancels the agreement with
the Montana Medical Association
and relieves the local boards in sc
counties of responsibility. The new
setup is expected to remove suspic-
ion from tn medical fraternity. The
subject was to have been para
mount issue in the coming meeting
of the Montana Medical associa-
ton, but it is said to have been re.
moved by action of the relief com
mission.

Plenty of Lumber
When the colony was started the

plenty. They are now trying to get

no one permanent building has

BROAD ADVANCES
IN BOND VALUES
Rails Heavy Favorites as
Foreign Issues Also Dis
play Firmness.
BY G.. A. PHILLIPS,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

q
NEW YORK, September THE
corporate bond market successfully
rode out a brief but spirited storm
of profit taking during today's brief
session, and ended week of con-
stantly rising prices with modest
gains well placed over the list.
United States Government loans
again acted indifferently. The turn
over was less than $500, 900, and quite
q number of Treasury issues did not
appear on the tape. Closing prices
ranged from 2/32ds of point higher
10 4/32ds lower.
Buyers Check Declines.
Domestic corporation issues ran
along smoothly enough with strong
stock market until the end OF the
second hour, when selling orders in
rather large number made their ap-
pearance among those issues that have
enjoyed a wide upward movement
during the week. In the ensuing
struggle large part of early gains
were conceded before buyers appeared
in sufficient number to rally the list
and keep it steady during the re-
mainder of the session.
Railroad loans we're heavy favoriteS
and the majority of active issues ended
in the plus column, with gains up to
a point. Industrials and utilities
trailed, with a few small declines
sandwiched in between fractional ad-
vances. Foreign bonds were especially
firm on a turn for the better in the
strained relations between Italy and
Ethiopia.
Many Leaders Advance.
Closing prices of leaders included

For IL Va. Cities
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, September Z.
State Works Director william A.
Smith had before him today a
s360,0o0 program calling for the
construction of marketing terminals
in IL Virginia cities.
Contemplating loans and grants,
the program was placed before
Smith by J. H. Meek of the State
Department of Agriculture.
In his outline Meek suggested
markets for Bristol, Clifton Forge,
Charlottesville, Farmville, Fred
ericksburg, Hopewell, Martinsville,
Newport News. Pulaski, Suffolk,
Waynesboro and Winchester.
The plants would cost roughly
$4,000 each, Meek said, and his
suggestion was for a grant of $25,-
900 each. with the cities con-
tributing the remainder. Meek
said the city officials or chambers
of commerce in each of the cities
had approved the scheme, al
though none had gone to the ex-
tent Of mourning any obligations
as yet.

FARM EXPORTS STAY
AT BOTTOM LEVELS
Cotton and Fruit Help to Keep
Indext From Further
Decline.

BY the Associated Press
July continued the low level Of
American agricultural exports. the
index standing at 54. If cotton is
excluded the index stands at 81, the
figure recorded for each of the two
preceding months ana also the small
est on record for this grouping.
Fruit exports. at 512. continue as
the only commodity group enjoying
movement as large as. or larger than,
that of the base period, l909-l914.
Items on the fruit list showing the
most conspicuous increase over last
years figures are oranges, prunes and
grapefruit.
The July index Of cotton exports,
at "a, was the smallest since July,
1881. All of the decrease appears in
exports to the Orient, particularly to
China. The restricted exports Of
grains and grain products resulted in
a July index of II, the smallest for
any July on record. Exports of cured
pork made record low for July.

RED METAL MARKET
GENERALLY SP0TTY
Firm Undertone Prevails Because
of Increased Domestic Con-
sumption.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September with
copper consumers apparently covered
into December following their heavy
purchases of August, business in the
red metal last week was spotty and
generally small. Nevertheless, firm
hndertone prevailed owing to the in
creased rate of domestic consumption,
the well-sold position of producers for
the next few months and continued
good European demands.
While there were further trade dis
cussions of possible price rises beyond
the prevailing 8l5-cent domestic basis,
no definite developments were re-
ported. Several Western mining COM
panies have increased production.
Tin quotations sagged approximately
81 cent per pound for spots in gen.
orally quiet trading which was limited
chiefly to nearby positions. The most
important influence was said to be
the reduced rate of tin plate opera
tions, now estimated at between so
and 55 per cent Of capacity, or a
reduction of some Is points from the
July level. Smaller seasonal trends
are credited to the canning industry.

AUBURNDALE. Mass, September
a P.-Commodity prices during the
first week in September advanced, fol-
lowing the reactionary trend in late
August. The upswing. however, failed
to break through the high point
reached in mid-August. For a period
of months the composite index of all
commodities has been dominated by
a few groups. During the past week
the ability of the live stock group to
advance, coupled with strength in
hides and leather as we'll as coarse
textiles, and moderately higher price
levels for agricultural products, re-
suited in higher price level On the
other hand, there are more decreases
than increases as out of II indi-
vidual groups seven declined as against
four upswings. Only three groups re-
manned stationary.
Industrial Price Trend.
Industrial prices continued the
moderate downward movement which
first began in late May. The first week
in September. however. was featured
by well-maintained rate of industrial
activity with steel operations reported
back to so per cent of capacity.
Agricultural prices were fractionally
higher than the previous week. Six
items we're higher than a week ago,
namely. wheat, corn, rye, flaxseed
butter and potatoes, while a similar
number declined-oats. barley, cotton,
eggs, hay and rice.
Live stock prices rebounded upward,
following the late August decline. The
latest index is close to the high point
reached in mid-August and during the
past week the three major items
cattle. hogs, and lambs-participated
in the price upsWing.
Building Materials Decline.
Building materials registered a siz-
able decline under the leadership of
lower quotations for lumber.
Hide and leather prices averaged
higher during the week as result of
a further mark-up in raw hides
prime packers now quoted at IA cents
at Chicago.
Non-ferrous metals averaged slight
ly lower due to a price revision down.
ward in spot tin.
Fine textiles lost considerable
ground, primarily due to price weak
ness in raw cotton. Cotton yarns
were also lower as we'll as raw silk.
Coarse textiles advanced sharply.
Although burlap declined. other items
such as hemp and sisal advanced SEN
sationally.
Vegetable oils declined as the price
decline in cottonseed oil more than
offset the strengthening in coconut,
