M. ‘Jewell of the Railroad Shopmen’s organiza- tion was preparing a statement for publication at 2:15 this aft- ernoon which it was said at labor board headquarters probably would announce the determina- tion of the shopmen’s leaders not to appear at thé conference fixed for this afternoon at the labor board between the board, the executives and the national officers of the shopmen. (By the Associated Press) Chicago, June 30.—B. M. Jewell, head of the six™ shop crafts unions, was today subpoenaed by the United States railroad labor board to appear before the board for official investigation into the threatened railway strike of 400,- 000 railway shopmen, Timothy Healy, president of the stationary firemen and oilers, was also subpoenaed before the hoard. Neither of the two union leaders appeared today for the official investigation into a threatened railroad tie-up. The labor board convened’ the session with only three of the ten union leaders summoned yes- terday to the hearing present. Neither. Pfesident. Jewell’ nor any of the six international shop union heads. appeared for the board’s inquiry. _ President Healy, whose orgahization is tak- ing a strike yote, returnable July 10,, was also .present. All of the 23 railroads, who were also summoned to the in- quiry had representatives pres, ent. The three union heads who ap- peared before the board were E. ‘ HL. Fitzgerald, head of the clerks’ union; E. F. Grable, president of the maintenance of way men, and D. W. Helt, chief of the signal men. Jewell May Defy Board. “If the telegram of the railroad labor board of June 29 (summoning the shopmen’s leaders to the confer- ence), means that the board is ise suing an order to the shopmen that! the situation remain in status quo until a settlement is reached,” said the letter of B. M. Jewell, shopmens’ leader, to the labor board, “then the shopmen regard it as void because it forces them into non-acceptable em- ployment.” The letter referred to the United States circuit court ruling in the Pennsylvania railroad case holding that the decisions of the railroad la- bor board are only advisory. / “Being an administrative arm 01} the government,” the letter said, “the, board cannot coerce railroad em- ployes into, unacceptable employment The transportation act did not and cannot grant the labor board author- ity to coerce railroad employes into unacceptable employment.” . Jewell Had Not Appeared. ‘At 2 o'clock, the time set for the} conference at the labor board, B. M.| Jewell had not appeared, nor had any other of the leaders of the six shop crafts and at the headquarters of the shopmen on the north side it was said'that Mr. Jewell was not in the city. Hope of recalling the shopmen’s strike sanction waned rapidly as time passed and the chairs of the union leaders remained vacant, only two members of the board, A.-O. Whar- ton and Albert Phillips, both the la- % ‘Williamson 'county, Il. TWO CONTRACT ON NEW ROAD ‘Two Bids on Road to } Bridge ARE UNDER.

Chairman Hooper was in confer- ence with other members of the board and E. F. Grable, head of the main- tenance of way brotherhood, the third union head to arrive at the board's offices. ‘ Not All to Respond Reports from some centers today were that not all shopmen planned to respond to the strike call. -_ Some rail officials contended still that a shopmen’s strike would not tie up transportation, at least for some considerable time. Train service employes—the “Big Four” brother- hoods—and the telegrayfhers are en- gaged” in no controversy with the r@ads. Their only statement was that they would perform only their regu- lar duties and would decline to do any work usually performed by oth- er classes of employes.

COMMUNISTS ACTIVE, (By tha Associated Press) London, June 30.—The seige of the Four Courts is remarked as beins only a single phase, of the civil strife, and perhaps in nowise the chief one. A point much stressed is the in- creasing activity of Communists in support of the Republicans. These according to some reports, are acting under the instigation and guidance of a member of the I. W. W. from America, who, rumors say, are receiv- ing financial help from Moscow. The dangers threatening Michael Collins ‘and the treaty party are gravely remarked in quarters al- though friendly to them, and the pos- sibility of an attempt to bring about a Republican revolution with the help of the lowest section pf the populace is seriously discussed. ‘gues BETTER SITUATION.

McCurdy and Allen ‘Joseph Kelly and Albin Hedstrom will battle in the fall for the posi- tion of sheriff of Burleigh county. Returns fyom a majority of the pre- cincts of the county on the race for sheriff, in which there were 11 parti- cipants showed Kelly and Hedstrom running considerably stronger than the rest of the field. The city of Bismarck vote put Kelly far in the lead and in many of the county pre- cinets he also showed up strong. It appeared that Kelly and Hedstrom would run avclose race for the top- most position. * With 14 precincts the vote for legislature in Burleigh county, in- cluding returns in addition to those to the county auditor was: Harring- ton 2,383; Heaton 2,354; Anderson Vold 1,984; Jennings 1,883; Voight 1,801.

Vote Incomplete The Burleigh ‘county complete vote ‘will, not be -known until the canvassing,‘board meets. Officials in at least two voting precincts in the city of Bismarck either made errors in returns to the county auditor or sealedi the returns with the poll books in the ballot boxes. With 39 out of 59 of the precincts of the county tabulated on state offices the Nestos vote stood 74 above that of McCumber while the Frazier vote was 272 above that of Baker for Gov- nor. Obert A. Olson was leading and it appeared he would cary the county. Poindexter also was ahead of John- son for the nomination for auditor by 94 votes. Congresman Young had a lead of about’600 over John Sher- man. red The majority for Governor Nestos of around 500 in the county still ap- peared to be today a conservative estimate, Figures for 39 out of 59 precincts not including four pre- cingts in Bismarék gave the follow- ing} McCumber 1842, Frazier 1438, Mc- Harg 53.

MKENZIE HAD SECOND WIFE, FILING SHOWS Will Discloses that Second Wife Died in New York Last May 23 PROVISIONS OF WILL St. Paul, June 30.—Filing for pro- bate here of the will of Alexander McKenzie, one-time “political boss” of North Dakota, disclosed for the first time even to many of his inti- mate friends that he had married a second time and had a family of’ two sons and a daughter in’ Yonkers, N.Y, ¥ It developed that his second wife, Mrs. Elva McKenzie, died in Yonk- ers, last May 23, and that not even close friends here knew that he went to her funeral when he made a trip east at that time. McKenzie died here last week, closing an adventur- ous career. “Over $500,000” Left A personal estate of “over $500,- is noted in the (petition, for proving of the will on which a hearing was set for July 25. Specific requests to- talling $265,000 are made, and the residue is left to two daughters by his first wife, Mrs. Anna McKenzie McDonald of Regaud, Quebec, and Mary B, McKenzie Foster, West- mount Quebec, who filed the peti- tion. Bequests of $58,0tu are made to Mrs. Elva McKenzie, now deceased, his second wife, and like amounts to Jeanette Alpha McKenzie, an un- married daughter; Alexander J. Mc- Kenzie, and Thomas Oakes McKen- zie sons, all of. Yonkers. ' First Wife Dead 30 Years The first wife of Mr. McKenzie died in St. Paul 30 years ago, A 9 year old son, Alexander, died at Bismarck, N. D., several years be- fore and the two daughters of the first marriage, now Mrs. Foster and Mrs. McDonald, were educated in a convent: .in St. Paul. These ‘daughters learned of their father’s second marriage only when the’ will was read to them last weck, according to word received from Canada. The existence of the two daughters of the first was not im- parted to the three children of the second Mrs. McKenzie until shortly before her death last month, it was said. Will by Own Hand The will was written by his own hand, and even Former Judge G. P. Flannery, president of the North- western Trust company of St. Paul one of his cloest friends, was named executor without knowing that a will had been made. No contest over the distribution of the estate under the will is expected. STOWAWAY WAS WISE 10 PLOT Hoboken, N.

TOS WIN R BOARD TRIES TO PREVENT RAIL STRIKE LEAGUE SPOKESMAN DEFEATS WCUMBER THROUGH DEFECTION “INSTATE REPUBLICAN FORCES Governor Nestos Holds Big Lead Over Baker.—Makes Big Inroads Upon Rural League Strongholds in Northwestern Section of State—Frazier Takes Lead in Senatorial Race as Country Vote Reports.—Nestos May Carry James- town, Ticket With Him LATEST RETURNS Latest. figures compiled from 1,741 precincts out of a total of 2,134 precincts give Frazier 76,398 and McCumber 74,932. Frazier’s lead, 1,466. In 1,748 precincts Nestos has 85,828 and Baker 69,270 or a lead for Nestos of 16,558. Senator Porter J. McCumber has been defeated by former Governor Lynn J. Frazier forthe Republican nomina- tion for United States senator. Early today Frazier swung into the lead when returns from 1,515 precincts gave Frazier 67,541 and McCumber 65,890, while 1,507 precincts in the gubernatorial race gave Nestos 78,089 and Baker 60,104. Nestos’ nomination by about 10,000 over Baker is generally predicted although his lead which reached its peak yesterday at 24,000, has been cut to 18,000, with considerable League territory to be heard from. Party Defection Evident The outstanding feature of Nestos’ run is the strength he showed in rural communities and the weakness Baker re- vealed in old-time League strongholds. That McCumber was opposed by many independents because of party defection and the I. V. A. claim that on past occasions the senior senator has flirted with the League is apparent.in a comparison of the McCumber and Nestos vote. McCumber failed in strong in- dependent Republican districts to poll the normal anti-League vote while Nestos dipped strongly into some of the well- known bulwarks of Townley’s machine, RRR eee LEGISLATURE IS IN DOUBT Independenis Face with Big Problem to Control It Independents are faced with big problems if they hope to win control of the house of representatives ‘in thd next election. They lost two me: in the Golden Valley district, they lost one in Sargent, one in Dickey, one in western Walsh and they have not made offsetting gains so far as returns now available are concerned. Senator Fred Mees in Mgrton coun- ty, was beaten by former Senator W. E. Martin by 164 votes, while Bor. linger, Independent member at last legislative session holds his seat, the other two seats going to league can. didates. Leaguers were defeated for the state senate in Traill and Pierce, where league members have hercto- fore occupied the seats. A hot fight was waged in Logan and McIntosh counties for joint sen- ator, The vote stood this afternoon, Logan county, 23 out of 27 precincts; Kretsmeyer, 598; Wishck, 336; Web- er, 573. McIntosh county, 12 out of 14 precincts, Kretchmar, 717; Wis- hek, 603; Weber, 295. Total, Kretch- mar, 1,315; Wishek, 939; Weber, 868. TROOPS SENT. Y MORGAN Reports Had Been Received Miners Were on March “(By the Associated Press) Charleston, W. Va., June 30.—Two companies of the national guard were sent into the Cabin Creek and Paint Creek districts early today to break up an incipient march against mines on Cabin Creek which had been oper- ating on an open shop basis. The troops were mobilized and dispatched on order of Governor Morgan after he received reports that bodies of men were gathering on Paint Creek and marching toward Dry Branch, Cabin Creek. FARGO MAN IS BADLY INJURED Fargo; N. D, June 30—Charles Eggert, prominently known Fargo meat market prorietor, probably was fatally injured yesterday afternoon when the truck he was driving was hit and crushed by a Northern Pa- cific train two miles east of De- troit, Minnesota. Eggert is in a De- troit’ hospital, one leg is severed above the ankle, the other is broken between the knee and the hip, and many of his ribs have been frac- tured. Stores to Close Although there will be no big cele- bration in Bismarck on July 4th, it js stated that most of the stores in Bismarck will be closed. ere are more than a thousand ies of rubber trees. Fate of Ticket. Whether Governor Nestos would carry his entire Jamestown ‘ticket with him was a matter of doubt, since little ‘tabulation has been done on any offices other than governor and senator. Poindexter, in scattered re- ports had run considerably ahead of his ticket and Olness and Olson also have run ahead in places. In the three-cornered race for attorney gen- eral, with Shafer, Garberg and Wehe in it, Shafer ‘was showing a lead iv suflicient* proportion in many coun- ties to insure his nomination if the Nestos majority is iarge enough. The same appeared to be true of Kitchen's vote. Reports on the supreme court race thus far were such 43 to indicate tic pre-election prediction that Richard- son and Judge Englert, the’ two Non- partisan indorsees, would be nomi- nated. Judge Birdzell was polling a strong vote in many sections and At- torney General Johnson's vote was such as to indicate he would be among the leaders. Judge Robinson is showing considerable strength in many communities. Judge Nueéssic will receive a big vote in the central part of the state. He received 1,078 votes in Sheridan county to 629 for Richardson, his nearest rival in that county. Senator Ladd, Nonpartisan Repub- liean, North Dakota, in. a statement today at Washington, commenting on the North Dakota primary stated thal “in the passing of Senator: McCumber the Northwest loses an ardent’prote tionist and a staunch uncompromis- ing Republican of the old school,” while in the “coming of Lynn J. Frazier, North Dakota sends to the senate a thoroughly progressive Re- publican of the modern school.” * Ladd’s Statement Senator Ladd mentioned that Sen- ator McCumber’s defeat would lose the finance chairmanship to the northwest. He added that Governor Frazier had “gained and holds the confidence of the common. people of the state as few men can do,” and predicted that he would be “a strong influence for good __ legislation through the agricultural bloc.” Peculiar Paradox. . North Dakota Republicans have en- dorsed former Governor Lynn J. Frazier for the United States senats and as his running mate this fall have selected Governor R, A. Nestos, the man who turned him out of of- fice last fall on a reform wave. The state has never been confront- ed with a more absorbing politica paradox, Leaders of the Nonpartisan League are’ pointing to Frazier’s victory as a vindication of his regime while the forces behind the I. V. A. machine are seeking to read a vindication of their viewpoint in the wonderfpl ma- jority piled up for Nestos. To the disinterested student of po- litical affairs, it is apparent that the results merely show how voters often reverse themselves in the same pri- maries. The Politician’s Diagnosis. Politicians who know the moves 0» the political checkerboard and can analyze votes and detect motives readily deduct the fact. that the I A. machine threw its support to Fra- zier and Nestos because it would not support Senator McCumber. ‘The I. V. A. grievance against Sen- ator McCumber is manifold. Six years ago they charge that he went into a deal with A. C, Townley tu (Continued on Page $)
