« MONDAY, JUNE 12, 1922 A. F. OF GIN 42ND ANNUAL - CONVENTION Record of Organized Labor’s Achievements Is Given By Executive Council OPPONENTS WERE ACTIVE Cincinnati, Ohio, June 12.—The rec- ord of organized labor’s accomplish- ment in “a year of unusual strife and unusual industrial depression” was laid before the forty-second annual convention of the American Federa- tion of Labor today in the report of the Federation’s executive council. The “open shop” unemployment, wage reductions, recognition of So- viet Russia, the one big union, court decisions and injunction affecting. la- bor and other subjects formed the major issues that confronted the Am- erican Federation of Labor when it opened its, two weeks’ convention here today. The report of the federation’s executive council on many of these issues, was ready for presentation to the delegates. No debate was on the program for the opening sessions because of the preliminary routine and introduction of resolutions some of these possibly resenting new issues. Delegates here for the opening were estimated to number 500, forming what Samuel Gompers, the federation president described as the “parliament of la- bor.” ay “Our consideration of industry and industrial problems,” said a formal statement by Mr. Gompers forecast- ing the convention’s work, “will be from the point of view of service to the masses of our people. Our consid- eration of political problems will be|* from the point of view of freedom and progress for humanity.” The report declared that American labor during the year not only suf- fered from the widespread unemploy- ment that existed but was beset “by opponents more active and determined than ever.” In addition to strictures on the con- duct of employers in numerous cases, the report added explicit and pointed criticism of congress and of some state legislative bodies, declaring such branches of the government to be “succumbing to a wave of reaction. Fault was found with the action of some courts, including the supreme court, and with what was described as President Harding’s “proposal to regulate trade unions.” _“It is with no little satisfaction in view of these circumstances,” the re- port on the other hand declared, “that ‘we are to lay before this convention a report of achievement, a report of solidarity, a report of constructive planning, and a report that only in- adequately... portrays the militant spirit with which our movement has come through the years. The audacity of those who have made it their busi- ness to attack in every ‘possible man- ner the military organizations of the workers has had no parallel’ in our country. What our movement has been compelled to meet has been a condition in which the predatory pow- - ers have sought to break down all re- sistance in every quarter and to en- rich themselves at the expense of the whole people. No experience has tes- tfied as eloquently to the fundamental soundness of our organization and to the manner in which they serve the workers. We shall fight with a greater confidence because of the rec- ord that has been made.” tion cf Work ed that in the di- rect labor field “workers in a number of industries have been compelled to resort to cessation of work,” because “organized employers” were “unwill- ing to meet workers in conference for negotiation.” The most important in- stance of this policy was declared to be the cause of the existing coal mine strike, although troubles in the tex- tile, garment, printing, granite, and packing house industries also were cited. ¥ “The organized mine owners re- pudiated their agreement with the United Mine Workers of America,” the’ report said, “compelling the mine workers to cease work. Packing house employers were likewise guilty of violation of violation of agree- ments. The contest going on among employers and the printing trades union involves a contemptuous disre- gard and flagrant violation of an agreement by employers and their as- sociations. “We have recorded only these viola- tions of agreement by employers which are of national importance. We know of no similar period of time in which there have been so many wanton violations of contract on the part of great organizations of em- ployers. We submit that it is a vital essential that there be a return of good faith in industry, a return to standards of morality which will re- store the pledges of men to their true and proper meaning. If it is impos- sible tp have faith in pledges given, then the entire industrial- structure will be undermined.” TERRIFIC GALE SWEEPING ‘OVER ATLANTIC COAST CITIES (Continued from Page 1) ers engaged in lifting ruins of the wheel. Police reserves numbering 200 were rushed to the qecene and restor- ed order. Sweeps Across New York City. The gale which swept across the Metropolitan district was accompanied by rain. Huge trees in Central Park were uprooted and tossed across the driveways. Five people were hurt when the wind blew out great plate glass fronts of stores along Broadway and scat- tered haberdashery and clothing along the street. (Hundreds of thousands of New York- ers were on the beaches and at vari- ous outlying resorts seeking relief from the heat when the storm broke and it was from these that the storm took its death toll.. Twenty thousand holiday-makers went to City Island yesterday and halt of them went out on the waters. of Pelham Bay. It was jammed with boats of every description when the storm hit. Few had opportunity to or the state administration when I talked to Mr. Reichert and I am not speaking for either now. All I have to do with the Bank of North Dakota is that as manager of the I. V. A. it is my duty to insist that, the bank shall be handled as was promised by the I. V, A’s in the Recall election campaign’ namely on a business basis instead of political and I am sure that it is now generally conceded that it is so handled. I know next to no- thing about who it loans money to or from whom it collects. According to the Sentinel Courier Mr, Reichert charges that I propos- ed that Mr. John Miklethun should be withdrawn from the senatorial race in Griggs county. I did more than that, I suggested that for the good of the packing plant the whole board of directors should get itself out of act- ive political work, loan or no loan; and I have no apology to make for the suggestion. Mr. Miklethun has been one~of Messrs. Townley | and Lemke’s most loyal servants in the legislature during the whole service there. Aside from that he has been almost valueless to his district, even to the Nonpartisan Leaguers who believe that members of the legisla- ture should have some individual in- dependence and initiative. “But when it is charged that I sug- gested that Mr. Miklethun withdraw in favor of Mr. W. H. Butler, some- body put the wrong foot forward. In the 16th legislative district (Griggs and Steele counties) there are two I. V. A. candidates for senator, Mr. Tufte on the Democratic ticket and Mr. Butler on the Republican ticket. My suggestion was that Mr. Mikle- thun should withdraw and then that some I. V. A., either one of these two, or some other be agreed on between the Leaguers and the I. V. A. who would be in favor of continuing. the Farm Loan Department of the Bank of North Dakota; completing and try- ing out the Mill and Elevator project at Grand Forks and _ support in principle the state hail insurance. Must Quit Fighting I. V. A. “J also suggested to Mr. Reichert that not only Mr. Miklethun who ‘is a member of the board of the direct- ors of the Packing Plant, but that, all of the members of the board should get themselves out of active partici- pation in the political contest this summer, because the stockholders con- sist of both Nonpartisans and I. V. A’s and’ it isn’t fair for a Nonparti- san Béard to use the Packing Plant as a political tool for their personal political interests. Two years ago the use of the Packing Plant as a_poli- tical agency in behalf of the Town- leyites became very generally talked about. “As manager for the I. V. A. it is part of my business in behalf of the Independent voters of the state, to try to get elected to the legislature as many people as possible who are op- posed to the preaching and practicing of the Townley-Lemke-Hagan, et al doctrines. So why shouldn’t I try to get such an_ obedient servant of Messrs. Townley and Lemke’s as Mr. Miklethun is out of the race for mem- ber of the state senate.” Governor’s Statement Governor ‘Nestos also issued a statement on the loan in which he said: ‘That Reichert eame to him and talked about a loan. He called atten- tion to the debt of the packing plant co the state amounted to approximate- ty $32,000 and that the security was not adequate. He called attention to the fact that Mr. Altenbrend, to whom the packing plant was indebt- ed to the sum of about $60,000, had started foreclosure and that unless the money could be raised in time to pay this indebtedness, they would tose all their property. The Governor told Mr. Reichert that the Industrial Commission would investigate the matter. “I then stated to Mr. Reichert that if this loan was to be made to them, that those who were opposed to vol- untary cooperation would undoubted- ly severely criticize us for making it, and would contend that’ we should rather have taken the chance of los- ing $16,000.00 on the loan made by the old administration to the pack- ing plant.” i Mr. Greene, manager of the. bank, investigated the notes and other se- curity of the bank and said many. were doubtful. He also said the drafts on funds were so heavy that he did not believe it was safe to make a loan at this time. Gov. Nestos suggested they might sell some more capital stock’ of the bank and use the money thus realized for the purpose of mak- ing this and other loans.” “The Industrial Commission has taken no action disapproving the ap- plication, and until the time that I saw4 this article in the Courier-News, I had assumed that they ‘still desired us to make the loan as soon as it was pos- sible for us to do it,” said Governor Nestos’ statement. MANY INJURED IN STORM AS WIND WORKS HAVOC (Continued from Page 1) get ashore. The known casualties oc- curred off Execution Light, about six miles east of City Island. It wag estimated by Lieutenant Jo- seph Reilly of the City Island detec- tives that no fewer than 10,000 per- sons were fishing off Execution Light, Rat Island and another island nearby when the storm struck. Scene of Pandemonium City Island became a scene of pan- demonium. Many of the men had gone out to fish and left their wives and children there to picnic. As soon as knowledge of the drownings” be- came generally known and heads of families, sons and in some instances daughters failed to return, the sur- vivors became_ hysterical. The storm lashed the waters of Long Island Sound into such a fury that in many instances life savers who ventured out were forced back to shore by huge waves. Police estimated more than 200 small boats had been overturned. In Brooklyn lightning struck a street car and knocked six passengers unconscious. Electric signs along the White Way seemed special targets of the wind.| the virtues of | A huge sign extolling an automobile tire, was torn loose from its moorings, toppled over into a skylight, carried a smaller sign with it in its plunge.and started a fire from disconnected wires. The force of the BANDITS GET. $3,000 FROM OIL STATION Minheapolis, June, 12.—Police to- day were searching for two bandits who yesterday afternoon held up John Himo and robbed him of $3,000 in cash collected from oil filling sta- ‘ions in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Himo had _ completed his collections in St. Paul and was nearing the end ot his rounds when the holdup took place. \ ASK MANIFESTO. __ DENOUNCING UPSTART IN CHINA REPUBLIC (By the Associated Press) London, June 12 dispatch to the Times from Hong Kong says. that the ‘so-called parliament at Canton has re- quested Sun Yat Sen, as president of the Republic to issue a manifesto de. nouncing General Li Yuan Hung, as a traitor to the constitution and protest- ing against his reinstatement as pres- ident, Barron Creamery Gets Big Run of Cream in May (By the Associated Press) Barron, Wis., June 12.—The Bar- ron Cooperative Creamery here, the largest creamery in the world receiv- ed almost a half million pounds of cream during May, according to the report for that month just’ announc- ed.

DRAWS BIG CROWDS OF EAGER KIDDIES People Flock From Surrounding Territory to See Christy Brothers Show It was circus day in Bismarck to- day. This is no news to the kiddies nor to many others. For the circus fans were out bright and early Sunday morning to see the Christy Wild An- imal Shows unload. The circus came to Bismarck from Mandan, where it showed‘ to*two large audiences Sat- urday and indications were that. big crowds would greet the circus here this afternoon and tonight. a With the unloading of the circus came scores of boys and girls eager to see: the big, glittering wagons roll from the cars, watch the elephants, camels, zebras and the horses choose their steps down the incline running from the car door to the ground, ‘When the parade began moving to- day at noon, a great crowd of people had come to the city from surround- ing’ country. The performance this afternoon was well attended and up to the standard (of the parade. The ele- phants were trained to do all kinds of antics, including the Salome and shimmy. The lion act was probably the most sensational ever seen here with any tented aggregation. Prof. Stokes had the jungle beasts well trained although “Babe,” the mean- est..one, gave him lots of trouble~and it was questionable if he, would have been able to leave the arena alive had it not been for his quickness in using the hot iron on “Babe.” The trained horses, dogs and pon- ies all. worked with snap and ginger, were in fine spirits and maintained an apparent desire to pleaso the crowds, Master Harry James, the five-year- old lad and son of Bandmaster James, although just out of a Denver hos- pital after a serious operation, made good his non-de-plume of the young- est drummer boy. A number of clowns of noted ability rounded out an ex- cellent program. The evening performance will be- .| gin at 8:15, and those who anticipate good seats will be on hand at an early hour, although there is com- fortable seating capacity for all fans of the “good old circus days.” MIDDLE WEST UTILITY CONCERN SECURE PLANTS Operating | in, Fifteen States Now Extending General ut Operations (By. the Associated Press) |. Chicago, June 12—The Middle West Utilities Company which oper- ates properties in fifteen states, an- nounced today that).it has acquired the Eastern Wisconsin Electric Com- pany furnishing public utilities ser- vice to. many communities in Wis: consin including local electric rail- way service in the cities of Sheboy- gan, Fond Du Lac and Oshkosh and interurban electric railways leading out of these three cities. Gross annual revenue of the eastern Wisconsin Electric Company is in excess of $1,500,000. ‘Announcement was also made today that the Wisconsin Power, Light and Heat Company would immediately undertake construction of a 66,000 volt high tension tranmission line ex- tending 75 miles from Dane, Wiscon- sin, through Columbus and Beaver Dam to Fond Du Lac. This line will interconnect the Eastern Wisconsin Electric Company’s properties with properties of the Northwest Utilities Compan; ubsidiary of the Middle- west Util Company. ‘According to a statement from the Middle West Utilities Company, this interconnection wil afford the im- portant manufacturing centers of Sheboygan and Fond Du Lac and the territory surrounding these cities the benefit of larger quantities of hydro- electric power generated on the Wis- consin river and will tend greatly to the industrial growth of the entire territory involved. The territory em- braces 90 communities furnished el- ectric service by the Wisconsin Pow- er, Light and Heat Company, the Wisconsin River Power Company, the Southern Wisconsin Power Company, the Janesville Electric Company and the Mineral Point Public Service Company all of, which are subsidiary companies of the Northwest Utilities Company, serving some of the best manufacturing, agricultural. and dairy sections of Wisconsin and also reaching into the iron field and gran- ite quarries of Western and central Wisconsin. : The Eastern. Wisconsin Electric Company will be. operated entirely from its own territory as are the Oilin North Dakota I am an oil man from Kansas. I have been in the oil fields of Kansas, Ok- lahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, California and Old Mexico, and have made a study of the oil business. I think I know oil land when I see it. I have several thousands acres of oil leases in this state, I want many thousands more. ig I want every land owner in this State to write me and give me any in- formation they can. I have at my command men who can geologize and de- velop it. A company is now forming in Bismarck composed ‘of home people, to de- velop N. Dakota oil lands. We want the support of every land owner in North and South Dakota for the interest of the two states are identical. Will you help us? You newspaper men, bankers, lawyers, doctors, merchants and the real producer, Mr. Farmer. Will you help dévelop your state? Will you help bring not millions of dollars but billions of dollars into this state I believe there is more oil and gas in the Dakotas, than in Wyoming, Montana and Oklahoma combined. You may be living over a $10,000,000 pool. You will never know until\ oil men find it for you. The half million people of N. Dakota cannot develop the state alone. They need the cooperation of the other 100,000,000 people of the U. S. A. to help. Outside capital must do it and will do it if given half a chance. But you people must help, you must start it. You do not need drastic laws, to pre- vent you from buying wild cat oil stock, but laws that will permit oil compa- nies to come here and drill and develop your oil lands. Why is it that $10,000,000 worth of the world’s finest pottery clay is not being used? Why is it that a billion dollars’ worth of oil underlying the state is not developed? Why are the town and cities of N. Dakota, not light, fuel, and manufacturing? using Natural Gas, for Why are only a few coal beds being exploited? Why are the Minerals, Alklies, Clays, Coal and other natural resources un- developed. I am the fore-runner, the advance guard of the oil world, Thousands of others will follow with millions, upon millions of dollars, to develop this state, as they did in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma. Will you be a member, a stock- holder of our company. Do not send any money, all we want now is your good will, opinion, 'and cooperation. « I am not in politics. Don’t want in it and will not mix in it, and do not care who is in power, But if I was a land owner in N. Dak., I sure would find out how my party stood on “Developing the Natural Resources of the State.” Write me today. Do you want oil wells in this State? Do you want Natural Gas? Do you want to see villages grow into cities over night? Do you want millions of dollars brought into your state to build schools, churches, and homes? Wil] you help? , Will you join our oil company? Write today, we want to be drilling in two/weeks. Call and have a talk. _E. H. ANKERSON McKenzie Hotel. —— other Wisconsin subsidiaries of the HEAVY QUAKE NOTED Middle West Utilities Company.
