CUMBERLAND
STRIKE PEACE
HOPE GROWS
City Quiet As Farley
Is Begun; Pickets,
Police Withdraw

CUMBERLAND, Md, Nov. 80.
Peace and quiet reigned at the
Celanese Corporation plant here
today as a conference opened
which, it is hoped, will end the
three-week strike and send some
5000 employees back to work.
The conference was held at the
plant, with Vice President Will
liam McC. Cameron representing
the company, and officials of the
United Textile Workers and Col.
Frank Douglas, conciliator of the
Department of Labor, partici-
pating.
Meanwhile, several hundred OF
the striking workers paraded in,
front of the plant, carrying
American flags, but they were
orderly and there was no sign of
trouble.
Agreement Reached
Following the fighting of Friday
and Saturday. in which a number
of strikers and police were in.
jured, an agreement was reached
today under which the picket line
will be withdrawn and all State
police taken away from the plant,
1t was announced.
Major Enoch B. Carey, Superin-
tendent of State police, who was
booed by the strikers yesterday,
was also ordered by Governor Nice
to keep away from the plant.
The order to Major Carey came
after strike leaders had held q
number of conferences yesterday
and communicated with the COVER
nor. More than 40 warrants hava
been issued against participants in
the disorders of Friday and Satul-
day but have not been served.
Federal Quiz Starts
Another Federal probe of the
strike started with the arrival
here of Bennett C. Shauffler, inves-
tigator for the LaFollette sena-
torial c o nm it te e investigating
strikebreaking activities through
out the country.
He came here following reports
that members of a strike breaking
outfit that has been active in the
West Virginia coal fields had been
brought here.

Sportsmen
Hold Meeting
In WhitefjSh
Over 200 Men Discuss Need
of Conservation of
Wild Life.
MANY PRESENT
FROM FOUR COUNTIES

Probably the largest and most en-
thusiastic meeting of northwestern
Montana sportsmen ever gathered to-
gether met and sumptuously dined al
the Masonic temple at Whitefish, on
last Saturday night, Feb. Is. Rep
resentatives from four counties were
present to discuss with the Whitefish
club the present need Of conservation
of wild life.
Owing to the severe cold weather
many who had intended to be present
were absent but wired their regrets
Some had started but became snow
bound and sent in regrets the following
day. kilograms and letters from dis
tant parts of the state were read. One
letter that threw considerable pep into
the meeting and was the high light of
the evening was that received from Ed
Boyes Of Libby, who stressed the fact
that the northwestern game counties
were being converted into sheep
pasture Mr.. Urquahart, supervisor of
the Blackfoot forest, ably defended the
policy of the forest service which is a
square deal for both the sheepmen and
the sportsmen, said square deal being
the elimination of all sheep grazing
from winter game range. 1t was
brought out that state land that is good
winter range for game was being leased
to shey,men but this was unavoidable
owing to the fact that all state lands
must by law be put to use to secure
school revenue. 1t is therefore up to
the sportsmen Of Montana to secure
leases on such lands as soon as can be
arranged for.
Well over 200 people were present.
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
Richard Price, we'll known in Libby,
who certainly made big hit as chair
man. Pete Gutersohn, member Of the
State Game Commission who represents
this portion of the state and who has
been president of the Whitefish Rod
and Gun club for Is years. spoke at
length on game matters and insured US
that our needs would be well guarded
by him at the Helena meeting. Every
one present voiced the sentiment that
our problems were in able hands.
Those attending from Libby were
George Stoltz, associate forester, and
VIM. }. Darlington, game warden.
Elmer DeGolier, game warden OF Pol
son, spoke on the urgent need of feed
for the Chinese pheasants, Hungarian
partridge and the wild ducks. He said
that very conservative estimate was
made on the number Of ducks and he
assured us that $4,000 were being fed
in the vicinity of Poison AT this time
might say that the lovers of pheasant
shooting who care to donate towards
buying feed for these birds should send
their donation to Elmer DeGolier,

Asks Contributions From Sportsmen
To Buy Feed For Starving Wild Life

E. M Boyes is taking up a collection
among Libby sportsmen to go into a
fund for the buying of food for wild
ducks and game birds. The newspapers
have been filled with items lately tell
ing of the terrible loss of life among
the wild ducks and birds caused by the
severe winter. 1t has become necessary
to feed thousands of them and money
is being raised for that purpose.
Boyes has letter from Thomas NJ
Marlowe, president of the Western
Montana Fishs and Game association,
asking for contributions from local
sportsmen for this worthy purpose.
Marlowe writes to Boyes, in part, as
follows from Missoula on last Monday:

No More Suspension In
Mine Assessment Work

There will be no further suspension
of annual assessment work on min
ing claims, according to reports from
Washington this week, where repre-
sentatives of the mining states con-
ferred on the matter and reached a de-
cision to not seek any moratorium for
this year.
BY this action agitation for setting
aside the annual labor law is checked
early in the season and claim owners
are given fair warning to prepare to
get their assessment work done before
July /, the final date for holding claims
unless the 500 per claim labor has
been performed.
No Surprise.
This action does not come as a sur
prise to miners who followed the strug-
gle last year which kept claim own
ers in suspense until it was too late
to perform the work had not the ex-
bill been adopted. That fight
served as notice that another year
would find similar request useless.
With the improvement found in min
ing operations and the stimulus derived
from better metal market features the
task of performing assessment work
does not appear SO worrisome as in the
past years of the depression. Had not
the law been suspended majority of
claim owners would have lost their

Still he Goes Fishing

Some people in this district might
be under the impression that last
Sunday was one Of the coolest days
Of the winter, but that doesn't neces-

to have another mess OF fish, so
while Mrs. Delzer and the children
drove on out to visit with MIR. and
Mrs. Sheffield on Swamp creek, Gus
dropped off to try his luck in the
little stream just above the state fish
hatchery. And he found an open
pool there to be veritable fisher
mans paradise"

as l could throw it in,' said Gus,
