TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20_ : is‘) THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SEES U. §, LABOR BOARD SHORN OF ALL TTS POWERS Frank P. Walsh Prote Protests Against | Proposed Change Regarding Shoperaft Workers OUTLINES UNION POSITION Chicago, Dec. the most important of the employes, the integrity of the labor bodrd and the public, that have ever been sub Satecccasesce'ce [IN OOAL FIELDS counsel for the shop crafts organiza- tion in a statement said that if the’ railroads are successful in their ‘con- tention, it will mean the destruction | of the railroad labor board. “The railroads are in a nationwide | conspirdcy to avoid.the provisions of the transportation act-so far as it safe- guards the rights of the railway em pioyes and the ‘public, by pretending | passed * that they are contracting and leasing cut to sub-contractors and’ padrones the most jmportant functions in the operation of the railroads,” Mr. Walsh said. ‘The employes claim; that the alleged private contracts are crooked devices t» dodge the’ clear provisions | ot the transportation act. “The so-called private contractors are pretending not only to actually maintain the rights of way of the rail- roads, but independent of railroad control, to have charge if the repairs and maintenance of equipment of the railroads, including the safety devices. upon which the lives and limbs of the traveling public must depend for safety, “In order to avoid the provisions of the transportation act favorable to) their employes and the public, the railroads boldly assert that thay have surrendered a great part of the duties and functions imposed upon them by their charters. They claim that they} have turned these duties over to the; myriad of. private contractors, indi- viduals and corporations—the major- ity perhaps, ‘being without financial! responsibility, andi many of them shown to have had no previous rail- road experience. “The railroad companies have suc: ceeded in covering their tracks‘ in many parts of the country, but this hearing should rip the lid off of the entire conspiracy. Unless the law reaches in with a strong hand, the gen- eral public will be left open to explol- tation in a manner unparalled in the worst days of railroad abuse and graft. “The railroads -are attempting, un- der the scheme, a device of private; contracts, to farm. out to alleged pri- vate contractors the work hitherto performed by approximately 1,000,000 of the railway employes of the country in their shops and maintenance of way departments. If they succeed in this adventure it will mean the abso- | 5. lute destruction of the railroad labor | board and expose the already. ‘over- burdened public to the. unchecked tapagity of the railroads and their confederates in the advancing army of private cohtractorey! os CONTEMPT CASE STILL PENDING Attorney General Says Matter Is Up To The Court The. contempt case against R. R. MecCliptock, who resigned as editor) of the Fargo Courier-News after was filed, rests entirely with the sy-| preme court, Attorney General Svein- | 4 bijorn Johnson sald today.

Pittsburgh, Kan., Dec. 20.—Sunday quietly in the Kansas coa) fields where national guardsmen were called last week after demonstrations by women in support of striking min- ers. The men on strike are followers of Alexander. Howat, deposed 'presi- dent of the district union, who is serv- ing a term in jail for violation of the criminal provisions of the Kansas in- dustrial court law. They--refused to go back to work when ordered to do, so by the International unign. Adjutant General Charles I. Martin, who came ‘to Pittsburg last night, made a thorough, inspection of tho trouble zone, inspecting the camps of troops and looking the situation over generally. Henry Endicott, city marshal of Mulberry, and a constable from Mul- ‘berry, were called before Sheriff Miit Gould, and General Martin reports that the marshal had permitted’ riot- to attack working miners in Mui- berry without interference caused the calling in of the marshal; The mar- shal said that he had been held in Pittsburg in a murder case for the trouble occurred. He said that he would do all in his power to maintain law and order. Arrest of several persons charged with the rioting of last week will probably occur tomorrow, it was stat- ed by officials this afternoon. Many miners were in Pittsburg to- day giving evidence for use of the of- ficials in the. prosecution of the riot- ing women, ‘One delegation of the min- ers called on General Martin late this afternoon and asked that full protec tion of the troops be given to the workers. General Martin told the men that the troops were in the field to as- sist the sheriff in maintaining order, and that they would be used for that purpose. MANDAN NOTES * AGED WOMAN IS SENTENCED Juliana Roll, ¢ ged 61 years, was sentenced to the state penitentiary for one year by Judgo Frank T. Lembke following her trial in dis-| trict court at Mott. Mrs. Roll was convicted of “assault with a danger ous weapon with tntent to commit great ‘bodily harm.” An_ altercation hetween the Roll family aitd that of £. Meier reached a climax when Meier and his sons started cutting wheat \in | a field which both parties claimed. Mrs. Roll is said to have productd a jrevolved and shot Meier, the bullet entering his head near the right eye. ‘He recovered. ! > Boys Get Vacation’ Tw enty of the boys and girls in the {state training school, perhaps more, | will be permitted to return to their | question of whether the alleged of- fense is an extraditable offense, so} that McClintock could be brought | back here for trial if ordered by the} court. ‘He said that he thought the} letter of McOlintock “is adding insu! to injury by indicating he knew in advance what the court would-do.” No announcement of when any ac-| tion-may be taken by the court has been made. It is thought that no ac- tion may be taken until , after opinions are handed down in the| election nullification suit, which was; the basis of the communication and | editorial in the Courier-News which | resulted in the contempt charge ‘being | brought. ‘R. R. MeClint ‘k, editor of the Far- go Courier-News, has resigned, ac-| cording to a statement printed in that paper Sunday. Mr. McClintock was charged with contempt of supreme court recently by Attorney General Johnson but the court has taken’ no action. A letter from Mr. McClintock |“ is published, as follows :: “Mr. A.

In analysing this idea he said: | * “There is#fogic back iof this course, | but in the general prosperity of pasi! years whenséelling conditions were easy; a careful study of markets was not always made. In these days, how- ever, advertising must be . wedded more closely to the efforts of the per: sonal salesman: than ever before. In| many cases today the chjice of ad- vertising media is determined by this) consideration alone. I might mention |” the daily newspapers by way of illus. tration. If an important news mes-; sage relating to price or policy changes is to bo gotten over quickly to a large field, not even the mails can match the newspapers for speed and thoroughness, | “Mr. Fletcher also brings up anoth.| er interesting point. He says ‘The drop in commpdity prices is bringing! back into the buying fleld the thought- | ful, reading, diseriminating people of} fixed income who have al aay been the. back-bone of the markét for qual- ity goods at fair prices. Advertising has always played its important part ithe cultivation of this market and it will play an ittereasingly important part in the.futurc for reasons which} are obvious’to the serious student of) business conditions.’ ” “ONLY 16,000 IDLE IN FRANCE Paris, Dec. 20.—They are only 16,- .| 400 persons officially recorded as out! of employment in France.
