In a few weeks these experts, it id, showed that Grand Secretary- urer George had been negligent in’ permitting Parker to! manipulato the funds.

Charges Made That “spilled the beans.” Barker at once charged that he had not been given a chance to explain | and that his expenditures were prop- er, Seal charged William Dorey, chair- man, and Leo I. Kennedy, a member of the executive board with gross neglect of duty. He says they wouldnt’ let him file charges against them, While Seal won't tell what he charged he hints darkly that Dorey and Ken- nedy know why there was only $70,- 0% in the treasury instead of many times that amount last February when the union wished to strike, he says, and couldn't for lack of funds. Seal says he resigned without a proper “amount of thought.” The prosecuting attorney's office is making an investigation of the charge that Barker misappropriated $217,000 | in funds. So, with two setS of charges pend- ing hearing before the executive board’ anc with auditors rushing the check of the books of the brotherhood the atmosphere is tense at headquarters here. Order Is Protected “Whatever happens the member- ship of the brotherhood is protected,” says U .S. Britten, attorney for the brotherhood, “Barker and Seal were under 4ond of $100,060 each, If there is a shortage of $217,000 we can sue over on the bonds, The in- tion of the books shows that. the approximate total not yet, accounted for, It is absolutely false that the union's industrial ventures are shaky. Our factories have been appraised at more than they cost us. “tut we collected $300,000 in dues last month and the average monthly income is $299,000," says Britten. “At that rate we couldn't be insolvent through a lo of $217,000. We have tangible assets of $1,5000,000, have $500,000 invested in fac- 1,000 in securities and mort- real estate worth $225,000 and a printing plant valued at $50,000. There are other assets also.” FAST TRACK PROMISED FOR RELAY RACES Philadelphia, Pa.

Minot, N. D., May 3. tatement, BE. B. MeCut announced his candida ‘or congress trom the third congressional dist! Mr. McCutcheon is utterly opposed to radicalism in any form and is running on an anti-Nonpartisan league plat- form. His announcement in part is as follows: ’ Statement No man in the state has worked harder against Townleyism than I have. I regard it as a decided menace, but in eliminating Townleyism, let us not build up-a greater cabal. We have merely aping Townley and seeking his shoes, with np more desire to render faithful service to the public than he. I believe that the farmer, the labor- ing man and the public generally, have nothing to gain by becoming a mere cat’s paw for the socialist party, nor will they gain anything by following any of those lesser dignitaries mas querading under the cloak of social- ism, who may tomorrow blossom out into full fledged exponents of socialist doctrines. These men are as danger- ous as Townley and trying to make our people a tail to a socialist kite. Remove Causes Let us remember that the best way to eradicate Townleyism is to remove the causes that create it, which are unrest, unsound economies, paternal- ism and profiteering. I believe that our farmers will be disappointed with the proposed specu- lative industrial experiments in Social- ism which are to be financed with the tax money now in the Bank of North Dakota. ‘In the end this must result in a loss, which will have to be made up by still higher and further increas- ed taxes, which will be an unjust and heavy burden upon the farmer. I be- lieve that much better methods can be worked out by the farmers themselves,’ along lines I have advocated for years, with the co-operation and assistance of the state and federal government, but I am of the firm opinion that if the state continues it present pro- posed policy of socialistic experiments in highly competitive businesses, financed by a state bank filled with tax money, all under the control of and operated by politicians — most likely for political purposes and for political advantages and the building up of a ; Permanent political machine—the end is sure to be swift, certain, extremely disastrous and a collossal failure, from which the state will not recover in many years. Urges Common Sense. Common sense should show our peo- ple that politicians can not run any highly competitive business as eflici- ently or as economically as the farm- ers themselves could, with proper state assistance. I favor a federal appropriation of five million dollars, if necessary, for the aid of the drought stricken farm- ers, to be used for the purpose of seed, feed or labor to plant their crops. I favor the extension of the federal farm loan bank and the establishment of a rural credit bank, in order that the farmers may be able to secure as cheap money as any other person. I approve of farmers’ organizations for economic purposes, and also farm bureaus and better farming associa- tions. I believe in federal assistance in state immigration problems. Soldiers’ Bonus | Believing that the boys who sacri- ficed their time and their fortunes in the defense of civilization in the world's war, have not been sufficient- ly rewarded I favor a national bonus of not less than $25 per month for each month spent in domestic service and a somewhat larger sum for each month spent over seas. with a sub- stantial additional sum for those who are sick, disabled or crippled. In closing will state that it is noth- ing more than fair that the next con- gressman should come from the north half of the district, which has never had a republican representative. The present member is.a Democrat elected by the league on the republican ticket, | but whose record is one of pure social- ism. BREAD MAY GO TO 25 CENTS A LOAF! St. Paul, May 4 —Unless America meets a fast approaching production crisis bread may be 25 cents a loaf next year, Dean R. W. Thatcher of the Agricultural college of the University of Minnesota told editors ef the state, | meeting here. “I would not be surprised to see | wheat at five or six dollars a bushel,” ‘Thatcher declared. “The shortage of farm labor is critical. Many years of intensive agricultural production are worthless in the new crisis, which de- mands extensive agriculture instead. “We must have increased produc- tion per man rather than production per acre. While nations of the world recognizes a standard eight-hour day, America this year possibly faces a! shortage or three-quarters of a billion | bushels of wheat.” Searchlights have recently been made capable of being seen nearly a hundred miles. vyw e BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE a MONDAY, MAY 3, 1920 IF BOB CAN KNOCK ’EM OUT WITH ONE BEND H OUGHT TO GO WITH TWO ee \ By Fred Turbyville. “Bob's 0. k. ag: Jinimy Bronson speaking, and Jim-. my is manager of Bob Ma A.

He cracked the hand on the eye of his debut in the profes- sional ranks. After that he used the left almost exclusively in sending his opponents to the canvas.

Bronson may take him to the coast for bouts in Portland, Seattle | and California, cities: There'll be one or two big shows with Martin the headliner in Ohio this sumimer. It is more than likely that on July 4 Martin will meet Gene Tun- ney of Akron, although a bout with Martin Burke, the big New Orleans boy. is being talked of. If Martin was good enough to knock out 10 or 12 with only one hand work- ing what will be do with both hands? That remains to be seen. Work has piled up since he was incapacitated and Bronson is ‘having no trouble keeping him busy. If he comes through this array of talent unscath- ed, there'll be big bouts ahead and then we'll see how good a champion of the world’s armies is against the best big men in the business, RAR Rn STOP INFLATION ONLY CURE FOR SOARING PRICES: Famous Banker Tells, Why World is in Throes of High Living Costs iNew York, May —The entire | world must tighten its belt if there is to be enough for all and that belt is a strict control of bank credits with- out which the world will continue to! gorge itself and inflate, declared Paul j M.'
