3-Way Compromise
Pressed in Effort
To Free Price Bill
Conferees Want Senute,
House and President
To Yield Some Points
i, the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
A three-way compromise was
pressed by Senator'S today In an ef-
fort to break the legislative log jan,
on wartime price controls.
The compromise admittedly In
volved some concessions by the
House, by the Senate and by Fresi-
dent Roosevelt as the Joint congress
sional committee trying to adjust
conflicting interests resumed closed
sessions.
Senators walked out Of the joint
conference yesterday explaining that
they hoped the five House conferees
would agree among themselves on
the compromise proposal.
Members Of the Senate delegation
said they would be willing to drop
the controversial attempt to tie farm
prices to urban wage levels. as pro-
vided in an amendment sponsored by
Senator OMahoney. Democrat, Of
Wyoming. which the Senate ap-
proved, IS to 80.
Ask House Acceptance.
They asked the House conferees to
accept Senate provisions for licensing
Of business, a single price admin
istrator, and granting the Govern
ment broad powers to buy and sell
commodities as a factor for controll-
ing their prices.
President Roosevelt was expected
TO withdraw his outspoken objections
to giving Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard a virtual veto power over
any farm price ceilings fixed by
Leon Henderson, acting price admin
istrator.
Although the Chief Executive
asked for a single responsible ad-
ministrator," Senators pointed out
that the President could end
promptly anv dispute between two
appointed subordinates.
Leaders Back Provision.
Poth Senator Brown, Democrat,
Of Michigan, chairman Of the Sem
ate conferees, and Senate Majority
Leader Barkley were reported back
ing this provision written into the
Senate bill under sponsorship OF
Senator Bankhead. Democrat, OF
Alabama and the White House was
expected to- 60 along.
One Of The five House conferees
said they had been unable to reach
an agreement on the compromise at
their session yesterday. He reported
that q majority of the House spokes-
men opposed licensing Of business,
the broad buying and selling pro-
visions, and elimination Of a special
review board voted by the House.
That board would have power to
override orders Of the administra-
tor.
Both House and Senate conferees
were reported in agreement on the
farm price provisions. These would
bar any price controls until farm
products rose above average farm
prices on October / or December Is

period 1890. or ITO per cent OF

Detroit Employees
Threaten 10 Tie Up
City With Strike
Union Prepares Answer
To Flat RefusoI Of l5%
Wage Increase
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 22.-Labor crisis,
the first in five months, was at hand
again today for the city of Detroit.
Only hours distant was Anal ver-
dict by a union Of city employees
whether or not to go out on its an
nounced strike at am. tomorrow, a
move which might cripple Detroit's
productive capacities.
Faced with the City Councils nat
rejection of its wage increase de-
mand, the City Employees Union CA.
F. L. intended to meet tonight to
frame its answer.
Demand Is Per Cent Boost.
Leaders of the union, which has
asked a Is per cent fiat wage in
crease, claimed that a strike would
pull out $4,000 Of the city's $1,000
employees. and tie-up Of the city's
transportation system was feared.
Donald v. Addy. city budget di-
rector, said wages ranged from 5000
for messengers to $1,000 for head
clerks among salaried employees and
that hourly pay rates for unskilled
labor ranged from IS cents to 80
cents.
The highest paid city executive is
the Mayor, who receives SIS 900 q
year. Most department heads are
paid $4,000. Junior executives earn
upwards from $500.
A second A. F. L. union, the Anal
gamated Association Of Street, Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach EN-
ployes of America, took a stand that
if picket lines we're thrown around
transportation system property they
would be respected. This union also
has been seeking a wage boost.
Last August a strike crippled the
transportation system for five days.
Now, since the rationing Of tires and
war orders halting automobile pro-
ducticn February /. many workers
h-ve put away their own cars end

cars.
Mayor Is Hopeful.
Mayor Edward j. Je1rleS, now
ever. held out hope that there would
be no strike.
II won't believe" he said. that q
handful of people can make such .
serious mistake until I see It,"
The City Council. by an 8-to-1
vote, turned down the unions wage
demands. The union claimed that
the raise was necessary, particularly
for employees paid less than $4,000
a year, in order to meet rising living
costs.
The council decided that there
would be no wage increases for the
rest of the fiscal year. in effect
freezing present pay scales until

Senators estimated that these re-
strictions would permit . general
rise OF about 10 per cent for agri-
cultural commodities before controls
could apply. A few products, such
as wool and beef, which have risen
above so-called parity levels recent
ly, could face immediate controls.
After the conference committee
reaches an agreement, its report
must 90 back to the Senate and

now embraced by Prairie county was
first visited by white men the first
actual settler began small scale farm
ing operations near the present site
OF Terry. The early visitors we're mem
bers of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton, under Captain Clark, who passed
through in July. 1906, on the way to
join Lewis at the mouth Of the yell
lowstone river.
This first settler was ). w. Mon
tague. who located on the Yellowstone
In 1877 and raised hay which found
Miles City and Bismarck, N. d.
Except for Montague and the oc-
casional freighter. Prairie remained
practically as Clark found it until 1881,
when the westward march of the
Northern Pacific railroad brought an
influx Of homeseekers who established
themselves along the Yellowstone and
streams tributary to transform the
great pasture north and south Of the
river into noted stockraising district.
Terry, named for Gen. Alfred H.
Terry, and located May z, 1888, at the
only crossing Of the river between
Glendive and Miles City, became and
remained for a number Of years the
largest stock shipping point in the
northwest.
Among early business enterprises in
the town were Flanagan's boarding
house, Cole and Kenys restaurant,
Sam Hilburn's store and two saloons.
B. A. Bowen was postmaster, justice
of the peace and agent for the North
ern Pacific and Western Union.
The homestead era began in 1905
and most Of the public land had been
taken up by 1912. Stockgrowing con-
tinued to dominate industrially, but
large herds bearing single brand had
been replaced by small herds owned
by many homesteaders. About this
time a new county with Terry as the
center began to be discussed and plans
we're realized when parts Of Custer,
Dawson and F'allon were formed into
Prairie by petition and election effec-
tive Feb. S, 1915.
The new subdivision comprised a
tract about rs miles long, northeast to
northwest, with an average width Of
Is miles. Boundaries were altered

ADDED ACREAGE
Is NOT ADVISED
URGED TO PAY DEBTS
RATHER THAN PURCHASE
MORE LAND

BY staying out of the land market
If values rise In their own localities,
Montana farmers can contribute much
to the control of initiation, the main
.tenance of sound credit policies, and
to longtime stability of farm oper-
alton, says H. E. Bolster, extension
land economist at Montana State col
lege.
During periods of high farm income
such as the present there Is a tendency
to put increased income into land with
the result that values are bid up ex-
cessively, Bolster explains. Because
this artificial value Of the land Is not
based on longtime productive ca
pacity the resulting increase in fixed
charges such as interest and taxes can
cause hardship and possibly loss Of
the land during periods Of low farm
income.
Right now, he said, Montana farm
ers and ranchers are in a particularly
favorable position for successful OPP
Grafton during the years Immediately
ahead. This Is due largely to q COM
bination Of favorable crop years and
rising prices coupled with the fact
that Montana land values have leveled
off on basis of longtime production
capacity. Land values in the state now
average less than two-thirds Of their
1912-1914 average, he. said.
Farmers individually can help to
maintain this stabilized condition, he
said, by using extra income to pay
off debts and to purchase war bonds.

If we lose, we lose all. But, with Gods

Heroism was the usual thing rather
than the exception in the old 9lst.
Mai o. F. Miller, near Gesnes, France,
in September, 1918, continued to lead
battalion after shot in right leg, then
shot in right arm; continued to ad-
vance with battalion until shot in
stomach. He urged the battalion to
advance and leave him, though the
wound in his stomach proved fatal.
Serg. P. @. Katz crossed 200 yards
in face Of heavy machine gun fire
to rescue a wounded comrade near
Eclisfontaine in September.
Serg. L M Seibert, near Epinon-
vile, led his platoon, although sick,
and with two men captured an enemy
machine gun. He was wounded but
continued In action until the platoon
was withdrawn. He then assisted In
carrying In wounded until he tainted
from exhaustion.
Serg. Chester n. West, in the Bois
de Cheppy in September, killed two

enemy machine gun single-handed
when it held up the advance Of his
platoon.
The fir tree is the symbol Of the
old 91st, and it Is the symbol Of the
new 01st. AS orders read In the last
war: The distinctive divisional de-
sign, green fir tree, adopted as a
personal badge, to be worn by each
soldier and man Is emblematic
not only Of the foliage found in each
state from which the personnel Of the
division was selected but the ever
green and ever useful character OF
this foliage is emblematic also Of the
state Of readiness and the degree Of
usefulness which has characterized
and should continue to be the aim
Of each unit OF the division"
