Benefit By Ruling
Effective In State
Alotments Used Only For Payroll New Piping to Be
Purchased For Projects Now Underway-To Tools
May Be Secured For Snow Removal

Under a broadening of the regu-
lations governing the expenditure
Of FERA funds, the city will be
permitted to spend 10 per cent Of
the monthly allotment for the
purchase of equipment and mater
ials, it was learned today. Recent
~ adopted by the state FERA
commission, the plan is effective
in every town and city in the state
and is expected to result in con-
siderable saving for municipalities.
Prior to the new ruling the
monthly allotments have been
used for payrolls only.
Amounting to approximately
$4,000, the funds will be used here
mainly for the purchase of new
piping to replace outworn material
in projects now in operation, ac-
cording to William NJ. Harris,
FERA administrator. The city's
monthly allotment of FERA funds
runs slightly over $4,000.

case of emergencies. During the
period of heavy storms last win
ter, workmen were handicapped by
shortage Of tools. In spite of the
hastily adopted regulation permit
ting the use Of FERA labor for
snow removal, no provision was
made for the purchase Of equip
ment.
While no definite information on
the new policies now under con-
sideration for the expenditure of
work relief funds has yet been
received by local or state officials
of the FERA, the action of the
state commission In permitting the
use of funds for the purchase of
material is regarded as an fndica-
ton of more liberal regulations for
future use.
1t has been reported that the

McElroy has a community hall
that has received a great deal of
attention recently which culminat-
ed in a meeting at the hall the fif-
teenth of this month.
The hall has housed community
gatherings and has also served as
a school house from the time it
was built in 1916. The original
building was put up by private
contributions. The upkeep and i'm
provements being furnished by
funds accumulated from rent
mostly paid by the school district
for use of the building for school
purposes. The contributors to the
original organization formed
an organization know as the Nc
Elroy Building Association and Sc
lected a committee to care for the
building. This committee has SER

Most contributors thought that
they were helping to build COM
munity hall and that the school
district would not always want to
use the hall for school purposes
but would, when it became able OF
desirable, build a school house.
Some few however seemed to
think that because the district
paid rent for the building it should

The store and postoffice don't
take up his time. He has farmed,
kept milk cows and chickens, he
has driven a school bus. He has
hauled coal for the school. At
times he has taken care of eleva-

years he has been here he has
grabbed every job, carpenter work
mason work plumbing or anything
else that he could possibly get for
himself perhaps so that his GUS
toners would not have chance to
earn that money to spend at his
store.
Two years ago he was appointed
road boss. He was not content to
call on people near by but one day
took a trip into territory ten miles
N. w. and politely told people
there to report for road work the
next day near McElroy. Two men
refused, saying they had no feed

Bismarck, N. Duly IS has

Bismarck, North Dakota.-The
people of North Dakota are hard
on the job getting the sales tax
law repealed. Already there are
more than $4,000 names attached
to signatures to force a special
election. It is likely that some
time in July or August the cleo
ton will be held.
The working people do not want
a sales tax. They have spoken
against it time after time. The
state Holiday and the Farmer,
Union have voted it down in theil
conventions.
Under the excuse of a lack O.
funds it was passed. The Cover
ror, Non Partisan League mem

sed it.

There is rotten smell abou
the sales tax and that smell hang
to everybody who had anything t
do with it.
In North Dakota the tax mus

no difference. It's a Wall Stree

HOPKINS FORCED
TO INVESTIGATE
ALASKA COLONY
COlonists Send Protests
To Michigan State
Capital

DETROIT, June 23.- Increased
protests and reports of disease and
misery from Matanuska Valley,
Alaka, which was pictured to 1000
impoverished farmers and unem-
ployed workers there as a "prom-
ised land" finally forced an an
nouncement from the office of
Harry L. Hopkins that an inves-
tigation will be made, it was re-
ported from Washington yester-
day.
Letters from Michigan families,
among those who consented to go
off relief rolls to search for the
New Deal in Alaska, and fell for
the glittering promise of 40 acres
of farm land who have just reach
ed their destination, describe an
almost unbelievable situation. The
Michigan families which include
1913 children, write that disease
has broken out and now affects
most of the 200 persons that have
gone there, with only one doctor
and one nurse and an epidemic is
feared as medical supplies are in
adequate. None of the promised
houses or raods have been built
and the settlers must live in tents;
the necessary tools and food prom
ised by the government have not
been delivered; food prices are ex
Orhitart and in place of the prom.
ised free groceries until they are
self-supporting, purchases arr
charged against the settlers to b.
paid in the future; milk is yer!
scarce and is rot available to oldel
children and a struggle has devel
oped in the camps as a result o.
the favoritism and mismanage'
ment on the part of officials.
Protests of the Michigan famil
les have reached the Michigan
state capital, but officials of tht
rural rehabilitation division have
discounted them as merely "grum
bling" and that "these people were
told it will not be a picnic"
The settlers are not paid in casl
but wages for laboring in clearing
land and building houses will ap
ply on the $4,000 debt to the gov
eminent for the 40 acres. The pos
sibility of farming the valley pro.
fitably under present circumstan
ces is very much questioned, a.
there are on an average PIG days

STRIKE ENDED IN
OMAHA AS MEN
ACCEPT MEDIATION

OMAHA, Nebraska June 21.-The
Omaha street car strike has been
ended, with all the strikers de-
mands left to arbitration of the
governors board of three. Two
hundred and sixty-eight workers
are involved. They voted to return
by a small majority after stormy
discussion.
Before the strike was called off
Governor Cochran, who called out
the 1900 National Guard troops,
had scabs take cars out of the
barns under troop protection. At
the same time the privately owned
jitneys were driven off the streets
by means of requirement af a pro-
bibitive bond.
The strikers demanded seniority
rights, recognition, shorter hours
and higher wages. The union lead
ers, by accepting compulsory arbi-
tration, went counter to the mill
fancy displayed by the strikers
and the sympathetic workers who
by their mass picketing in the face
of terror showed that they wanted
to fight. The union leaders are not
pressing their wage demands, and
made no protest against Governor
Cochran's strikebreaking actions
in protecting scabs and ordering
the outlawing of the strike
through compulsory arbitration.
Five workers were arrested
yesterday and held incommunicado
without charges being placed a.
gainst them. This is apparently an
attempt to frame up workers for
the fatal shooting by police of two
strikers last Friday.
