(By Charles Mc- Cann.)-—“Unless negotiations to end the coal strike are instituted within 24 hours, the issue will be between the government and the working classes,” Secretary Robert Willliams of the Transportation Workers sald today. Williams made the statement fol- lowing the morning session of the i Transportation Workers delegation. He is recognized as one of the radi- cal leaders. The attitude of the Transportation Workers. was more belligerent than that of the railroad workers, who adjourned their morn- ing meeting without a decision. The railroad workers were said to be avoiding a vote on the' question Luntil every new plan toward settle- ment has been exacted. Failure of the government and the miners to agree will mean a strike, it was saild. William’s statement was taken to mean that his organization is inclined to force action. (By United Press) London, Oct. 21. (By Charles Mec- Cann.)—Orders_have been issued by British railroadmen to strike.on Sun- day at midnight in sympathy with the coal miners. The order went out to railroadmen thruout the United Kingdom and they will walk out Sun- day at midnight unless specifie in- structions to the contrary are ifsued in the meantime. N The. announcement - of -the Ktrike order followed the statement of J. H. Thomas, secretary of the railroad workers, to a number of members of parliament that an ultimatum will be served on Premier Lloyd George to- day. The ultimatum will demand im- mediate granting of the miners’ wage demands with the alternative of a sympathetic strike. If Lloyd George capitulates ‘the railroad strike will be called off. The Transportation Workers, one of the other defenders of the triple alliance announced thru their secre- tary, Robert Williams, that unless negotiations were resorted to within 24 hours the issue ‘would be greatly and the workers. williams is a radi- cal and is credited with being the real head of the organization. London, Oct. 21, (By Webb Mill- er.)—The British cabinet went into session_late today following the an- nouncement that the railroad work- ers have voted a sympathetic strike with.the coal miners. The vote of the railroad delegates was received while the house of commons was in session. The cabinet left immedi- ately.

HARDING TODAY ' 1S CONSISTENT Offers Reward to Anyone Who Can Point Out Any Changes in His Position STRONGLY OBJECTS TO COVENANT BY WILSON If Elected Will Consult With Leading Minds Regardless of Sex, He Says (By United Press) Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 21. (By Ray- mond Clapper.)—Senator Warren G. Harding today challenged anyone to deliver a compiled column of his ut- terances on the League of Nations. Speaking at Convention hall here, the republican candidate asserted that he has held to one position thruout his campaign and again refused to out- line in detail hia conception of~-the association of nations. Criticism from democratic leaders who clfirged Senator Harding with shifting his League of Nations posi- tion several times during the cam- paign, brought this statement from the republican candidate. - “I have said from the beginning that we wonit have a Wilson coven- ant and 1 say so again ndw.” He said, “I have said repeatedly that America will gladly‘play her part in a suit- able association of nations which does not invblve the surrender of Am- erican sovereignty and which is built on the ideals of justice rather than force. I say that again. 1 do not be- lieve in very much of the president’s league.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WANTS FRANCHISE RIGHT Bills Will Be Introduced December 'to Grant Local Self Government Washington, D. C., Oct. 21.—Few people outside of Washington, the nation’s capital, know that the Dis- trict of Columbia, legislative and executive center of the United States, is the only capital of any nation in the world without representative gov- ernment. o The ' District of Columbia, with nearly 500,000 people, larger in population than seven of the states —Idaho, New Mexico, Vermont, Arizona, Delaware, Wyoming and Nevada, is the only completely dis- franchised community under the American flag. People in the District of Columbia have no representation in congress, no voice in the selection of their municipal officers, cannot vote for a president gnless they hold citizenships in one of the states, and cannot even choose their own school board by popular vote. In 1874 the district had a terri- torial form of government. It was then small in pepulation and weak in resources. This territorial govern- ment was surrendered to congress in retutn for congress agreeing to pay half of the expenses of conducting the District of Columbia. The people of that day who thus surrendered the birthright of every free born Amer- ican have since bitterly regretted their action and have been for many years agitating to recover their suf- frage which is guaranteed under the Constitution Bills will be introduced in the De- cember session of congress to grant local self government to the district —that is giving the disfranchised half million in_this creat city at (Continuec from page 6.)

Herds Since County Fairs Started This Fall St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 21.—The sharp slump in prices for grain and stock may have an important effect upon the development of Minnesota farm lands, judging from various re- ports received during the past week from bankers thruout Minnesota for the weekly review prepared by The Merchants National Bank of St. Paul. Farmers from Iowa, Ilinois, Wis- consin, Kansas, Nebraska and: other states have made one or more visits (o Minnesota since September first Several have been quoted as declaring that they are considering purchase of Minnesota farms for several reasons. They hope to dispose of their highly developed farms at top prices and buy land in this state at considerably lower figures. Development of Min- nesota’s road system, convenience of satistactory markets, fertility of lands, and other favorable reasons were touched upon. Farmers Watch Minnesota. Ilinofs, Wisconsin and lowa farm- crs have been obgerving the progress which is being made along pure bred tile and hog lines. While' it Is a that tight money conditions thruout the state have caused breed- ers to be conservative in their pur- chases they have improved their herds since the county fairs started. Auction sules have started. Sales have beeri numerous at what buyers termed “reasonable prices.”, Many interesting notes regarding Minnesota actiyitjes were contajned in the bankers’ reports. Strious for- est fires In northern counties were extinguished by two heavy rains. A gilver fox farm, said to represent an investment of $50,000, has Dbeen started in Goodhue county. Many farmers had bumper apple yields and they disposed of the windfalls for about 2 cents a bushel, on the av- erage, to automobile “bargain seek- ors. A Blue Earth farmer who pur- chased a tract of land last year sold It for $230 an acre, which meant a profit of $7.700. Some banks in southern Minnesota have increased interest rate on tim deposits to five per cent. Grain Is Being Held. Money continues to be extremely tight with farmers holding their grain. A number of stock breeders have shipped cattle and hogs. Pool- ing of wool has been resumed. A recent offer for the Minnesota wool in storage was declined. Several counties have organized poultry asso- ciations and a score of county shows are planned for mid-winter. Several cities have included appropriations for parks in thelr 1921 budgets. Com- munity market sales proved a popular innovation in smaller cities. Merch- ants have had bargain days at the same i The car situation seemed to be generally satistactory. Duluth reported improvement in the coal sit- ation and transportation facilities. Farmers who had bumper potato arops are storing them or selling them at the roadside. A number of citiex spent considerable money for 1z this summer, have collected part of their investment from reck- less drivers.
