SENATOR GRONNA URGES EMBARGO ON WHEAT INFLUX Bankers” Astodiition Also Asks Wilson to Stop Flooding of Country Fargo, Oct. 9.—Senator A. J. Gron- na, the Fargo Commer club and the state bankers’ association \have wired President Wiison urging an im- mediate“embargo on the shipment of Canadian. wheat into the \United States, which had depressed the mar- ket. Senator Gronna’s message said. | Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, WasPington, D. C. If it is true that the reduction “in the price of wheat fs caused by the dumping of Canadian grain into our markets, then I believe that without delay the anti-dumping clause of the present tariff law should be put into operation by placing an embargo against the importation of wheat and flour from Canada. If present pricés continue very long it will ruin the farmers who h paid 70 cents an hour for labor in producing this year’s crop. It will also cause innumerable failures among business. Kindly give this your careful attention. A, J. GRONNA. /ELKS DEPUTY FOR N. D. NAMED D., Oct. 9.--John J.

COAL PRIORITY RULE EXTENDED BY CONMISSION Railroads Required to Furnish Cars to Mines in Preference to Others’. MOVE TO LAKE PORTS Result in Satisfaction of Domestic Dentands Washington, Oct. 9-—Action to satis-| fy demands for! domestic coal in vari- ous states was taken Ihst night by the Interstate Commerce commission in an order requiring railroads east of Montana, Wyoming, ‘Colorado and New Mexico to: furnish coal cars to mines in preference to any other use. Former orders of this character applied only to the east of the :Mis-| sissippi river. The present.order, the! commission, sajd would run until fur-} ther notice, but would be relaxed as the situation' warranted. The commission also ordered all outstanding, permits for use of ¢oal cars for other ireight cancelled but announced that: arrangements to con- tinue the movement of certain essen- tials. such as sugar’ beets to. factory, would be made. ® ’ 2,190 Cars Dally Working | in conjunction with cogl operators and railroads, a program ‘has been formulated. the committee said, which is expected substantially | ¢——— to meet domestic coal needs. It is! planned to transport approximately | 2,100 cars daily for purpose, in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, — eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennegsec, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Attention is also being given to needs of domestic cunsumers in other states, the commission added. As public utilities and institutions have accumulated some stocks of coal under the commission’s priority or-- der, that order has been superceded by a new regulation ‘which, the cont- mission announced, will care for spe- cial cases of real emergency. | After Oct. 14 the preferential car supply for public institutions will be affected only upon‘approval of the commis- sion. Lake Order Kemains Despite an increase in coal produc- tion which up to Sept. 25 -exceeded that of last year by 51,000,000 tons, the commission said “thyre has not been a suffictent ‘produéiion ‘of ‘the sizes of coal for domestic purposes to sat- isfy all present demands.” The existing order for the preferen- tial movement of 4,000 cars of coal daily for the northwest was not changed. A statement issued by the Nation-| al Coal association said the increased ‘ar movement has’ already started and would meet immediate ‘needs. After the lake movement was com- pleted the statement said,there wpuld pe available ample coal for domestic winter storage. HIGH PRICES UNJUSTIFIED Washington, Oct. 9.—High bitumin- ous coal prices are unjustified. and eastern consumers who have as much as a_month’s supply on hand should buy only for immediate need, the American Wholesale Coal association There is no danger of a bituminous coal shortage, the association said, and indicated by holding off buying tonsumers can cut. prices. The atement of the association was pre- ‘spared by the executive committee. 3ISED MORE The board of oners announced Jast night they had received reperts that the United States. authori! had completed arrangements to in- crease the coal tonnage destined for Canada by way of lake ports before navigation closes, and that every effort would be made to keep coal cars moving between the lake ports and the mines.

Last week Patterson found it advantageous to loan a county road engine, which had been plac- ed ynder the direction of Com- missioner Birlea Ward to do voad work, to. the penitentiary to thrash Patterson's grain. Ward sought a restraining order. Judge Nuessle held that the manner of doing it was perfectly legal. He suggested that it was in bad taste for any commissioner to use county property in a way that would benefit himself, directly or indirectly, but held there was not sufficient grounds for granting a restraining order wien the coun- “ty loaned an engine to the peni- | tentiary. He suggested that Ward of which was duly chronicled in The Tribune. Praise Me, Please But “Whistling Eddie” wanted a regular advertisement for him- self. So he introduced a resolu- ~ tion in the board of county com- | missioners to have printed a long resolution, which bore the ear- marks of having been prepared by the faithful followers, FE) Al- len, and Commissioners Swanson and Palms, with Patterson, voted to have it printed in Brinton’s paper, Also in the other Nonpar- ; tisan league paper, And, on Ward's motion, on which, Patter- son did not vote “aye,” to have it printed in) The Tribune. Makes Precedent The resolution defends “Whistling Eddie” and refers to The Trib- whe’s editorial which said that the county commissioners should not delay in passing a rule that the road machinery is to be. used latter provisi come in handd solely for road work and not for private enterprises. The resolution further states “that the citizens aud other public bodies should receive the benefit of the use of county property when not in the use by the coun- ty.” The latter provision may come in handy for Patterson if he wants to loan some county prop- erty to some faithful voter to do rc who said he wanted the engine for road work, might bring an action in claim and delivery, -All | YOU * YoU FIGURE 0 our { THE RELATIONSHIP | — JEFFERSON, Ind. —- —When Mrs. Eliza J.
