4 RY SEVEN KI _ REVIEWS RISING COSTS ces THE WEATHER ° Generally'Falr ~ HE BISMARC LAST EDITION THIRTY-NINTH YEAR. PRICE FIVE CENTS t BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1920 TELLS EDITORS. THEY MUST NOT, SHIRK DUTIES In Face of Oppressive Laws Mr. Forkner Points Inde- pendent Path : North Dakota New spapers Should Advance Advertising and Circulation Rates (Special to The Tribune.) Fargo, N. D., Aug. 6.—The handi- caps under which independent news- papers in North Dakota labor with oppressive legislation and_ rising costs will not keep independent edi- tors from doing their duty toward their communities and the state at large, M. I. Forkner, of the Cavalier county ‘Republican, president of the ‘North Dakota Press Association, told the assembled editors here today. He urge closer co-operation be- tween members of the press associa tion and an extension of its activ- ities. 2 he “If we had understood one another and understood one another's prob- lems, and duties to society a few years ago, as we. understand them to- day, we might have prevented just | the condition in North Dakota that} we now are trying to remedy,” he| said. “If we had always fought 15 zealously for the right and stood to- gether for it as we did in the recent primaries, without allowing our knees to weaken, it might never have been netessary for the people to pass a law to’ keep the red flag out of the state.” The editors were welcomed by Mayor Stern, of Fargo, and the res Pponse was made by \G. W. Stewart, of Wilton, which were followed by the addresses of Mr. Forkner and Mr. Harrington. Others on the program for this af ternoon were George Farries, Willis- “ton; C. D. Stiles, McKenzie; James Rockwell, ‘Fargo; v. P. Anderson, Hatton; ~H. ©. Hotaling, St. Paul. This evening the past officers of. the association will be guests of Past President Norman Black, of the Far- go Forum, at dinner. An address by James Schermerhorn, editor of‘ the Detroit Times, is the feature of the night’s meeting. News Print Shortage. Mr. Forkner predicted that “we are about through with socialism as a controlling force in ‘North Dakota’s government. We are going to ‘drive the ‘money changers, from the| tem- ple’ at the November election and our action is going to have a won- derful effect’ in the retarding of the provrese of radicalism in America.” Mr. Forkner discussed the news Print Shorcage atid other rising costs facing newspapers. ‘A questionnaire sert out early this year/and from the replies it was learned that the pub. lishers needed five times, as mucno print as they had on hand to meet the current year’s \ requirements; that very little had been ‘ordered without, being delivered and very lit- tle was in transit, he said. The price ranged from § to 13 cents. Advertising too, Low. “We found that the advertising, in the state jis altogether too loW, con- sidering the present cost of produc, tion,”, - he said, He urged all news- papers in the state to immédiately adopt*the rate suggested by the na- .tional association, figured out by ex- perts and based upon exhaustive in- vestigation. He recommended that no weekly newspaper sell subscrip- tions at less than $2.00 a year. Mr. Forkner reviewed the paksage of the Brinton newspaper grab Dill and the fight made on the bill. It is doubtful if the bill is operative in North Dakota, he said, ‘referfing to the printed opinion of J. F. Sullivan, of Mandan. 4 : “In many counties the boards ot subdivisions have accepted Mr. Sul livan’s opinion and are awarding their printing to independent news- papers,” he said. “At least a few, subsidized newspapers haye been compelled to share with legitimate newspapers the patronage that was at one time legislated from them.” Against Free Publicity. ~ -The president urged the employ- ment of a paid secretary. ‘“There are so many activities that a fieli secretary could direct, and there are so many ways in which he could be of assistance to memoers’ of this as- sociation that it is almost, impos- sible to enumerate them,” he said. He suggested that a paid secretary could aid in promoting. efficiency ‘within plants, offer cost suggestions, -and generally look after the inter ests of all. the publishers. “We are falling for altogether too much free publicity these days, when the world reeds more good ‘whole: | some news and editorials of the ample, stéadying kind,” he“said, say | ing that a paid secretary copld save his salary if he cowld-prevail upon all editors and ,ipublishers to turn down “space spongers,” District meetings ought to be held by the association, ayd, the president suggested that “if cohditions ever become normal in North wakota, and the wheels of goyernment run with less friction. we must start at once the institution of a school Of prac- tical printing at one or more places, | and in each of our shops institute some practical scheme of making our work, more attractive to appren- tices.

O. Kameness’ statement declares the Soviet government never desired to combine the negotiations for ‘an armis- ice with negotiations for peace but that a demand of terms for armistice zontajn reasonable guarantees, which would prevent on the part of Poland ‘o use the period of the armistice for 1 renewal of hostile acts. The sole obstacle in the way of be- zinning of negotiations says the note *s the absence of the Polish delegation whose return is being awaited by the emissaries of the Soviet government in order that negotiations may be im- mediately opened.” ' EXPECT AID OF TAFT IN LEAGUE - ERFORTS OF COX Democratic Presidential Candi- date Plans to Make Sev- ‘eral Speeches Dayton, Aug. 6.—Hope that former President Taft would aid toward elect: ing a senate favoring the league, of nations was, expressed in a, statement by. Governor Cox, Democratic presi- dential nominee. , “We have every expectation,” said the statement, “that Judge Taft will urge Republicans in any state where a primary contest is’,on for the nomination of a\ candidate for the United States senate, to support the ™man or men, who are in favor, of the league of nations. By so doing, he can consistently remain a Repub- lican in the face of his statement that the position of his presidential candidate on this question is wrong.” PI Speaks in New Hampshire Governor (Cox's statement was prompted by reports, of success’ in the Missouri and Oklahoma Demo eratic senatorial. primaries of pro- league candidates and by assurances of Democratic victory in New Hampshire, where he ‘plans to make’ at least one speech late in August. ‘ASK PRESSURE , BE REMOVED Nashville. Aig. 6.— The Tennessee Constitutional League with’ board of directors consisting of three Demo- crats and three Republicans today ' sent requests to Governor Cox «andi Senator Harding that political press- ure on the Tennessee legislature bé | removed.| The letter to Governor Cox! was written by Judge Joseph C.

Tillamn, who. in 1896, polled the highest vote ever given a Republican candidate for gov- ernor of Tennessee. POLES TIGHTEN | LINES, RUSSIAN =| \ Miltary Observers Think Bol- sheviki May. Have Stopped for, Supplies AMERICAN AIRMEN MOVED t ts \ Koscjusko-Squadron to Be Sent Into Most Critical Po- sitions a Paris, Aug. ussian Bolsheviki forces which have been attacking the Vo.es northeast of Warsaw to cut com- munication between that city and Danzig seem to have been ‘checked for the time being by the desperate . defense of-the Polish army. Dispatches here seem to indicate an improvement of the military situ- ation in that sector of the front, Ob- servers however, are inclined to look on the fighting near Brest-Litovsk with apprehension asthe Bolsheviki have massed larger forces in an ef- fort to break there. It is felt that the outcome of the battle now being waged in that reason may decide the fate of Poland. ‘ It is possible the apparent slow- ing down of the ‘Soviet attack in the north however may be due to difficul- ties encountered in bringing food aud supplies to the front! over country roads believed to have been thorough- ly wrecked by the Poles. If this is thé case the Poles may be given only a brief breathing spell before another drive ts started. More Air Squadrons ‘ Warsaw, Aug. 6.—Qwing to the desperate situation on the front near- est Warsaw the’ Kosciuscko, the air force composed for the most part of Americans attached to the Polish ar- my, is being transferred from the southérn front. The squadron will aid in,the defense of the. Polish capi- tal. The American consulate in War- saw will be closed Friday and Con- sul Rankin “is making preparations to depart Friday night, Most of the | records already have been shipped away. > t The American legation here’ also is prepared to close within a very few days. The legation employes have phipped their. baggage to Camp Grappe; the emergency headquarters ‘of the American typhus expedition. PIERCE LINES f Warsaw, Aug. 6. (By Associated Press)—The defensive line east of Warsaw has been pierced in several places according to word from the front, Preparationsvhave been made for moving the government if «the advance cantinues.. ‘The officials however still hope the Soviet forces will’ be checked. No announcement has been. made as to what place the government would move to but it is reported it would be Posen, or nearer the Silesian fron- tier. ‘ Of the developments along the east- ern defense line word' from the front shows that after a halt of several days while reinforcements were rought up and the Bolsheviki forced crossings of the Bug at a number of places, Last night’s announcement, ‘said that the Russians had forced the Bug about 70: miles east of the ca- oital, this being, a part of the Soviet movement to outflank the defenders of ‘Warsaw and, push on toward the Vistula. The Poles* counter-attacked and fierce fighting. is continuing. The ‘Soviet forces have been chick- ed in their western push along the Prussian frontier. pei ae SOVIET CLAIMS SUCCESS London, Aug. 6.—The forcing 0: the western Bug, the occupation of Kovel and Lutsk, in Volhynia, an‘ other advances by the Russian So- | viet forces are anngunced in Thurs: ‘day's official statement from; Mos- cow received today.

With Governor Cox’s acceptance ad- dress in type for tomorrow afternoon's newspapers, speculation increased to- day regarding the brief_but important insert he has announced ‘would be forthcoming tomorrow. .The Governor continued to hold it a secret.

ANTI - AMBRIGAN FEELING GROWS AMONG JAPANESE Democratic Nominee Withholds “Important Insert” From Printed Address Tokio, Aug. 6.— The statement of Congressman Albert Johnson at Ta- coma, Washington, August 2 that thousands of Japanese are smuggled into the United States from Japan yearly is giving evidences of a tend- ency to increase the feeling\with re- gard to the United States created by the arrival of the recent American note and subsequent newspaper at- tacks. “The Japanese government would gladly co-operate with the American government in exposing any such illicit and underhand system as outlined by Congressman Johnson,” a statement issued by. the foreign office today. “It is hoped that Mr. Johnson will give the names of the bond associa- tions or individuals concerned. All such information must be in the hands of Mr.-Johnson who otherwise would not have made the statement.” WIRELESS TELEPHONES WILL BE D ON PACIFIC COAST Pacific Coast representative of the wireless company, “Similar apparatus will be placed aboard the vessels of the China Mail and Admiral Line at once.” The Radio Corporation’s announce- ment means, it is said, that persons living within reasonable distance of the Pacific seaboard can, through their local telephone operator, be connected with the nearest Radio sta- tion-which in turn can get in com- munication with any ship carrying the Corporation’s apparatus and hold tele- phonic conversation.

The above communica- tion answers this’ question and shows that the railroads. are going to start to collect the full new rate, which is approximately 20 per cent higher than the present, immediately after it goes into effect Aug. 26. HARVESTER MEN HERE 10 SHARE FIRM EARNINGS $60,000,000 Voted for Distribu- tion: Among International Employees STOCK GIVEN TO WORKERS Employes of the Bismarck branch of the International Harvester Co, from the manager down to office boy, will in the future, have a share iu the profits of the company, accord- ing to the decision of the stockiiold- ers. They voted to distribute 60 per cent of the net earnings, less 7 per cent on the capital invested, and set aside $60,000,000 in stock to be divid- ed among employes under an extra compensation plan open to all work ers in this country and: Canada. About 35 to 40 men in this city will be benefited by. this plan, which is without parallel| in the annals of Am- erican business.

At. the end of 1919, however, total assets amounted $188,869,500 which may be considered an approximate value of working capital, plant. investment, in- ventories, etc. In that year net prof- its amounted to $21,011,761, ‘Seven per cent of the aggregate assets would be $13,220,865. Deducting this from the profits and taking 60 per cent of the proceeds there would be approximately $4,675,000 to b divided among employes,on the basis of 191 income. The company employs about 40,000 workers when operating on a full schedule. The stock reserve for the “purpose consists of $20,000,000 common and $40,000,000 preferred. In order to provide for the compensation plan and for other puposes the stockhold- ers increased the authorized prefer- red stock from $60,000,000 to $100, 000,000 and the common from 384,- 000,000 to 130,000,000. The direc- tors today will vote on a proposal to distribute $10,000,000 common stock as a 12 1-2 per cent stock divi- dend. The management ‘proposes to pay out $20,000,000 of the new com- mon later on in semi-annaul stock dividends of 2 per ‘cent. According to the plan the employes will be divided into two groups, those who are in executive and man: agerical positions and those who are not. ‘The former will re¢eive one- third of the extra compeysation fund and the latter will receive two-thirds part in the cofhpany’s 7 per cent pre- ferred stock and part in cash. The funds will be distributed’ in propor- tion to the Sctual earnings of each employe for the year and the rela- tion it bears to the aggregate earn- ings of other employes in each group. Common stock will be distributed in stead of preferred to the employes in the first group.
