WEA Fair tonight. THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NO. 217. BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA MONDAY, SEPT. 22, 191 9. PRICE FIVE CENTS STEEL WORKERS OF NATION STRIKE MILLIONS SPENT BY TOURISTS ON PARKS HIGHWAY Field Secretary of the Associa- tion Announces That Travel Is Heaviest in History More than $9,000,000 was spent by motor tournists in cities and towns along the national parks highway this year, It has beén the greatest tour- ing year in the hitsory of the country, according to Fred. A. Adams, field sec- retary of the National Parks Highway association. “Tourists from every state jin the union, with travel almost equally divided between east and west bound cars, have rubbed licenses plates along 3000 miles of highway from Chicago to the Pacific coast and from Puget Sound to Lake Michigan,” says Mr. Adams. Adams bases the value of motor travel on an estimate of 30,000 cars; that occupants of each car spent at least $15 a day while on the road; and that each of the 80,000 cars was on the highway a minimum of 20 days. “TI consider the estimate a very con- servative one,” he says, “This traffic was interstate and does not take into consideration the greatly increased volume of intrastate motor travel. Ex- penditures by occupants of all cars has been so large that its value to all communities in dollars and cents would read like a promoter’s pros- pectus.” All Towns Benefitted Although every city and town along} the highway has benefitted greatly in a financial way, those towns, he declares, which have established free camp ‘sites for tourists and provided! accomodations for their comfort have! reaped the greatest financial harvest. “Towns like Davenport, Wash., For- sythe and Bozeman, Mont., Mandan, N. D., and others have increased their revenues largely by the esttablishment and proper maintenance of such camp sites. . “With the betterment of road condi- tions and a realization of the wonder- ful scenic and commercial opportuni- ties in the middle west and_ pacific northwest properly placed before the people greatly increased — tourists; travel from east and south will follow quickly. More Next Year The thousands..of.. cars... which have traveled the highway. this. sum- mer are only forerunners of an ever increasing number in the future. .The countries of Europe are’ planning ex- tensively to regain the transoceanic American travel lost during the war. Europe, however, has nothing to offer comparable with the scenic and recre- | ational possibilities of the west andi the pacific northwest.” By a proper educational campaign Mr. Adams declares, the former tide, of European travel from America| will be turned from oceanic to trans-| continental touring. Another Arrest Is. | Made in Elevator, Competition Fight Attorney General Langer’s As- sistant Makes Charges Against Occident Company Agent Cando, N. D., Sept. 20.—(Special.) — Another step in’ the campaign of At- torney General William Langer to fight unfair discrimination by elevator com- panies against the farmers of this state was taken here last night when M. M. Roach, agent for the Occident Elevator Co.,’at Rocklake, was ar-| rested on a charge of unfair dis- crimination. He was arraigned before Judge McIntosh and bound over to the district court for trial under $1,000; bond, The arrest was made under the dt. rection of Albert ©, Sheets, assistant attorney general who has had chargé of this work for Mr. Langer. Sheet: alleges that Roach; acting for the Oc- _cident company, paid a higher price for grain at Rocklake for the purpose of crushing the farmers’ elevator there. Sheets! claims that Roach pail more for this grain than was paid on! the same day at other stations by the same company for the same grain. This is the second invasion of At+ torney General Langer’s crusade in arresting grain men on charge of un- fair discrimination for the) purpose of crushing farmer elevators by paying different prices for, the same grain at different places, the price being ad- vanced ‘wherever farmer elevators operate, he claims, so as to put those elevators out of business. Governor Says He Doesn’t Know When Session Will Meet “How about these rumors that the special session of the legislature would be held November 1,” Governor Frazier was asked today. “Hayen’t called any yet,” was the short, snappy, peppery remark, “Will you call the session November 1?” he was asked in an equally short,, snappy, peppery manner. “Haven't decided yet,” was the an- swer which ended the short, snappy, peppery interview, { TOBACCO PAYS TURKS Constantinople.—The Turkish trea- sury is empty and the government is selling tobacco to pay salaries.

Captain Cole, Well Known Dentist, Is Back From France Was in Service Two Years and Had Important Work in Army Hospital in New York: Capt. W. E.

Gary Refuses to Issue Statement. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) The preliminary skirmish in the great industrial struggle which opened today between the labor unions and the United States Steel corporation which directly or indirectly affects a half million wage earners, produced the usual conflicting claims by the generals on both sides. In the great centers of the struggle, the Chicago and Pitts- burgh districts, many thousands of workers obeyed the strike order but early reports stated that comparatively few plants had been compelled to close. Ata large number of the outlying points, officials of smaller plants reported they were operating as usual. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the steel corporation, refused to make any comment. Secretary Foster of the steel workers union, issued a state- ment expressing satisfaction with the outlook and claiming that reports from outside the Pittsburgh district showed the shut down was general. Some of the blast furnaces in the Pittsburgh district were banked but the majority of the plants were operating although admittedly with forces reduced from 15 to 66 percent. In the Chicago district, including Gary and Hammond, where 90,000 steel workers are employed, similar conditions were reported. At Cleveland the union leaders claim that 15,000 men were out and that 16 mills of the American Steel & Wire company, employing 9,000 men, were closed down. At Ohio’s second greatest steel center, Youngstown, the strike leaders also claimed that the great majority of the workers had struck and at Steubenville, where three plants of the Carnegie Steel company are located, it was asserted that all three had been forced to suspend operations. At the less important points in Ohio and Pennsylvania, in- cluding Portsmouth, Warren, Canton, Toledo, Columbus, Lorraine, Pottsville, Reading and Harrisburg, officials of the various plants announced their men had remained loyal and that operations were in full swing. One notable exception was Johnstown, Pa., where 12,000 men were reported to have struck. Outside the great pivotal states of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl- vania, conditions were reported nearly normal. with a few, impor- tant exceptions. : Pittsburgh, Sept. 22—“We got away in good shape at most of our plants in and about Pittsburgh this morning,” said a repre- sentative of the Carnegie Steel company when asked for a state- ment on the effect of the steel workers strike which went into effect today. i “We were agreeably surprised at the showing made,” was the announcement by William B. Foster, secretary of the national committee for organized iron and steel workers, who is in charge of the Pittsburgh district. The struggle between organized labor and the employers in the steel industry was in full swing today. In the Pittsburgh and nearby districts many thousands of men failed to report for work this morning. : Dawn found mill guards, borough and city police, the mounted Pennsylvania state police, mounted volunteer guards, deputy sheriffs, detectives and other guardians of the law on duty for every emergency. Full protection as far as could be made was given to those determined to go to work. The streets and roads leading to the mills in every community in the Monongahela, Alleghany and Ohio valleys being patrolled by armed guards. The state police had their first clash with crowds Sunday afternoon in North Clartown and near McKeesport, where they broke up mass meetings at the request of local police officials. Strike leaders charge that a number of persons in the North Clartown crowd were severely hurt in the clash. Several men suffered from clubbed heads and twenty arrests were made in Clartown when the Pennsylvania state police clashed with crowds that refused to disperse. Several shots were fired by each side, according to Clartown police headquarters, ‘ 90,000 QUIT WORK Chicago, Sept. 22.—Members of workers in plants of the United States Steel corporation at Gary, South Chicago, Joliet and Indiana Harbor, all in the Chicago district, at midnight joined the nationwide strike of steel workers called for this morning, but early this morning neither representatives of the men nor officials of the company were prepared to give exact figures as to the number of employes who had left their work. It was admitted by company officials that others would fail to report for work at 8 o’clock, the hour for changing shift. i The number of steel workers employed in the Chicago district ig estimated at 90,000 and representatives of the union held to their previous claims that at least 85 percent of these workers would strike. Company officials said the number of men who would quit work would not exceed 20 percent of the total and might not go above 15 percent. 15,000 WALK OUT y Cleveland, Sept. 22.—Union leaders claimed that at least 15,000 steel workers are on strike this morning and that plants of some of the independent mills were closed. Company officials would make no statements. SOUTH CHICAGO MILLS CLOSED Chicago, Sept. 22.—The steel mills at South Chicago of the Illinois Steel company, closed this morning, only a few foremen remaining to draw the fires in the furnaces. It was estimated by union officials that 95 percent of the 4,000 men on the day shift in the plant failed to report for work. No official figures: were given out by the company. % COMPLETE SUCCES: Youngstown, O., Sept. 22.—Early reports from the various Steel mill centers this morning indicated that the men had obeyed the strike orders generally and practically all mills in the Mahoning valley either were badly crippled or may be forced to suspend oper- ations altogether. At union headquartres it was declared that the strike is a complete success and thai every mill is closed. © NONE STRIKE AT BIRMINGHAM ,.
