MMM THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1917. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE The report made for the fiscal year | ending June 14, of the Bismarck pub- lic schools, at the regular meeting last evening, shows a balance of $49,- 5 in the treasury. Of this, $29,- 946.56 is of the. general fund; $14,- 126 in the sinking fund; $5,763.40, in- terest on bonds, and $18 remaining of the teachers’ insurance fund. Members of the board were greatly pleased with the report and discuss- ed the practicability of building the new south side school while funds | permitted without. having to bond the city for same. It was thought that enough funds would be available with the balance of the next levy. The resignation of Capt. A. A. Jones was accepted and the vacancy was filled by the appointment of D. T. Owens for the unexpired term. George Will was re-elected member of the library board fora term of three years. A resolution presented by the city com! igsion. asking that the board as- sume expense of paving in Special School District No. 1, in paving dis-/ trict known as No, 2, was passed. Miss Agnes Boyle was appointed as an additional teacher for the sum- mer school during the falance of the term. ePter Schantz was appointed assistant janitor of the new high school building, under Mr. Couch. ‘Board members gave much of the credit of the fine financial standing of the schools to H. W. Richholt and G. C. Wachter, who retire ‘after serv- ing a number of years. Mr. Richholt has been president of the board most of his twelve years of service. G.C. Wachter, who has been a member of the board for the last eight years, alee. retires. The two new members, A. Lenhart and Ceci] Burton as- Same office in July. An adjourned meeting of the board | will be held Friday, July 6. TOWNLEY KEEPS CONTRACT WITH 1.W.W. (Continnea trom | from Page une) Continuing in-similar vein, the “In- dustrial Worker” says: “Today, the farmer gets $2.75 a bushel for his wheat. If the price of labor were to be raised to corre- spond with the raised price of this commodity, the farmer would be pay- Ing $11.45 a day for harvest hands this year without any more grumbling than when he previously paid $2.50. “Today, we find that the farmers are adverse to paying even $5 during the harvest. In other words, the farmer wants $6.45 more profit out of his worker than when grain was worth 60 cents a bushel. . “In addition to this, the harvest hand does not’ enjoy the conveniences and conditions of former times, de- spite the fact that he does far more, owing to the improved modern ma chinery used in the harvest fields. “Machinery cannot alone harvest the wheat. “Wheat cannot harvest itself. “Human labor must be applied to the wheat before it is worth any-! thing to society. “Then why should not the harvest hand be entitled t oa raise in wages proportionate to the increased price of wheat? “The farmer dodges this issue by saying—‘there is~more help than for- merly’—but if such is the case, why is the farmer so strenuously advocat- ing the employment of school boys in the -harvest fields and for general farm work? “So'Much Graft.” “The farmer's cultivation, per acre, costs him less than formerly. “Beds for the harvest hands would not ‘cost: much more than in former the harvest field the difference be- tween what the farmers will be forced to pay by the workers organized inj the Agricultural Workers’ organiza- tion and $11.45 will be so much graft for the farmer. “Only by the workers organizing. | to place a high value on the one commodity which they have to sell— their lives and labor—can they get for themselves those better condi- tions which the agricultural industry of America is able to pay.” ————— DUNN ADMITS HE GAVE MEN HUSH WONEY (Continued “from page one} Dunn, said he was taken by Mike Moore for the purpose of identifying her.

In telling of his’ transaction with Brown and Ferdig, Dunn declared the Montanans had pointed out to him that they were four to one against him—that they and their wives would testify against him unless he paid them the money they demanded.

Dunn émphatically denied having any dealings with Joseph Redenbaugh, Frank McCool ‘and Johnny Doyle through Mike Moore. He admitted that he had met ‘Moore at a saloon, but denied that he ever had men- tioned a proposition for the slaying of Mrs. Dunn. Dunn broke down and sobbed on the witness stand as he detailed the events following the murder of his wife on the morning of April 26. Cross examination of Dunn was not concluded when court adjourned for the day. ORECON TOWN OFF THE MAP!
