aes » ’ aa » ’ THE WEATHER PROBABLY SHOWERS ESTABLISHED 1878 BONUS CLAIMS SALE PLAN IS HELD INVALID Supreme Court Decides In- dustrial. Commission Has No Power in Matter MAY YET MAKE DEAL? Attorneys Unwilling to Say Plan Cannot Be Worked Out for Sale of Claims _ Attorneys for ‘the financial houses seeking to purchase the returned sol- diers’ certificates and state officials who had interested themselves in working out a plan of sale which would provide for early payment of the certificates, today were undecidea as to whether the decision of the su- preme court prevented any arrange- ment being made. The high court, in a decision ren- dered late yesterday, held that the contract between the Industrial Com- mission, the Adjutant General and Minnesota Loan and Trust Company and other financial houses was in- valid. Under this contract the finan- cial houses agreed to purchase all unpaid returned soldiers’ certificates, estimated to be about $6,500,000, ar 18 per cent discount, this discount being figured as the average amount of interest upon the full value of the elaims until they would be paid. Th. plan had been approved at the Amer- ican , Legion convention at Devils Lake. The supreme court, affirming Judge Nuessle of district court in, the test case brought to thresh out the legal points involved, decided that the case was not analagous*to the hail warrant case in which a similar pro- cedure was gone through before the sale was consummated. In that‘ case, the court held, there was authority conferred by statute for the making of an agreement while such authority was lacking in the present case. Commission Lacks Power. The case was brough’ by Harvey Bauernfeind of Mandan to restrain the Industrial Commission and Adju tant General from entering into the agreement. Judge Bronson wrote the opinion while Judge Grace did not sit because he has a son eligible to claim the state bonus. The court holds that the Industrial Commission and the Adjutant Gen- eral have no authority: to bargain away:the discretionary.-power lodged by the legislature to advance claims of needy soldiers. ‘ The Industrial Commission, it fur- ther holds, has no power, to pledge the state’s credit in such an agree- ment. The law provides the money shall be disbursed within the state of North Dakota, Judge Bronson held, while under the terms of the con- tract at least 18- per cent of the money would necessarily be paid out- side Af the state, in New York at the place of payment of the certificates the financial houses would issue. The constitutionality of the act was not decided although Justice Robinson in a specially concurring opinion, said that another reason for holding the contract invalid was “that the constitutional validity of such bonus acts is not clear beyond question and some courts hold against such acts on the ground that the legislature may not take the property of one citizen and give it to another person, or class of persons, however deserving they may be.” Future Course Uncertain. — “The purpose of the proposed con- tract may, indeed, be highly laud- able,” said Judge Bronson. \“The at- tempt to secure expeditious payment: of the monies to returned soldiers is deserving of commendation. In: deed, the returned soldiers, each and every one of them, should receive one hundred cents on the dollar awarded by statute to them. Clearly the purposes of the act is to secure compensation and disbursement of on, one hundred cents on The defects existing in the present law, which does provide a ‘method of financing the present pay~ ment of soldiers claims, is a matter addressed .to the legislature. It 1s not a matter wherein the executive quthority may assume a legislative power, nor the courts, by judicial fiat, created a legislative power.” J. F. Sullivan of Mandan, one of the atvrneys who! aided the financial house representatives to devise 2 method of sale of the soldiers bonus claims, said today that until he had had an opportunity to study closely the opinion of the supreme court he could not giye an opinion as to whether some other method could be undertaken to purchase the claims. Two or three methods had been un- der consideration, he said. < a ‘Attorney General Johnson also said ‘ that while he had not had an oppor- tunity to closely study the case the state officials stood ready to aid in any plan of sale approved by the for- . ° compensati! the dollar. mer service men.

SOLUTION RESTS WITH’ FRANCE. |. Washington, July 8—Solution of {the German financial rd industrial ; problem rests ,with France, in the | opinion expressed today by well-in- formed economic experts of the Unit- ed States government. American, par- ticipation in ‘any relief measures for German rehabilitation under present conditions was geBatded by some of- ficials as an economic impossibility. Viewed from ‘the economic angle, the German situatioz was declared solely a- question of, German credit, which rested upon the reparations terms. Unless France is willing to make concessions in the matter ot reparations to enable Germany to carry her burden, Germany, it was asserted, cannot hope to borrow money to continue het rehabilitation and meet reparations payments. The probability of Germany’s fail- ing to make the reparations payment of $50,000,000 gold marks on July 15, was not regarded by officials as fore- shadowing any serious economic con- sequences, as it was explained, it would only be a postponement of pay- ment. Officials added, however, that should the German payment,be mad¢ some disruption of exchanges affect- ing the British pound, Scandinavian currencies and probably the French franc as wel} would result from the purchases of gold by the Germans to meet their obligations, GERMAN EXPERTS ASK MORATORIUM (Ry the Associated Press) | “Berlin, July: 8—It was semi-of- ficially stated this afternoon that two German experts were going to Paris foday to ask the reparations commis- sion for a moratorium in which Ger- many would beenabled to spread her éash payments over a longer period.

PREUS OPENS CAMPAIGN FOR FUEL SUPPLY Minnesota Executive Sces Severe Coal Shortage in Winter WANTS SURVEY MADE If Coal Shipments Do Not Improve State Will Cut Wood St. Paul, Minn, July 8—Governor J. A. O. Preus today opened an act- ive campaign to secure for Minne- sota and the northwest a sufficient coal supply to avert the famine | which thé governor declared appears imminent. At a meeting this morning, the governor pointed out to the heads of the various state depdrtments that} now the situation at the Head of the! Lakes is thé most critical ever re- corded there and that it appears even more serious because of the com- bined coal and railroad strike. The governor directed that an im- mediate survey be made of the state's wood gupply to ascertain the amount of wood that could be cut and ship- | ped to market before the arrival of cold weather. It is the governor's plan that if the coal shipments do not improve greatly within the next thirty days the state will arrange for the cutting of thousands ‘of cords of wood for shipment. to points where the coal supply will be insufficient to meet the needs of the rigorous winter. According to figures announced by the governor only 4,562 tons of hard coal “have been received at the Head of the Lakes up to: June 30, as com- pared with the average shipment up to the same date during the past five years of 445,000 tons. The situation in soft coal is almost equally alarm- ing, there having been received up to June 30, 284,174, as compared with the average shipment up to that date during the past five years of 2,- 773,878 tons. BARNES SEES SHORTAGE Duluth, Minn. July 8.—Pressure must be brought to bear to settle the prolonged coal strike if a seri- ous coal shortage in the northwest js to be averted this fall and win- ter, the local fuel committee, ap- pointed at the request of Julius H. Barnes, presidgnt of the United States chamber. of commerce, today telegraphed President. Harding after a meeting with ‘the board of: direct- ors of the Duluth Chamber of Com- merce. Unofficial figures, but considered fairly accurate, were presented to show that docks at the head of the lakes. had 500,000 tons of bituminous free coal and 200,000 tons of anthra- cite on hand as compared with 4, 300,0000 tons of bituminous and 400,- 000 tons of anthracite at this same period, last year. Little or no coal has been comine up the lakes this season and the supplies on hand are being drained, yegular shipments being made lower lake ports, it was said. The fuel committee pointed out that even if the coal strike is settled during the. summer the supply of railroad cars will be insufficient to; meet the demands from all parts of the northwest. Plenty of lake ton- nage will be available, it is believed,’ and if sufficient railroad cars are found, enough coal can be shipped up the lakes in present days to tide: the northwest over the fall and win- ter months.

Hooper, that the only way the striking shopmen could receive recognition in conciliatory conferences -was to restore themselves to standing before the board by returning to work and then entering into negotiations for a settlement. shop crafts, who held himself open to approach by “any responsible person authorized to vegotiate a settlement,” declined to make the first move, pre- ferring rather to place the blame for a continuance of the strike on the labor board and the railroads. : Mr. Jewell declared the olive branch of peace should be first of- fered to the striking shopmen. The railroads remained immovable in their attitude of considering the strike as against the government ra- ther than against the roads. All Elements Firm The result of this situation was that all elements were in receptive moods but firm in their determina- tion not to weaken their positions by making the first move. Conditions generally, so far as transportation and shop operations were concerned, remained much the same as they had been, for several days, but the beginning of the sec- ond week of the strike brought in- creasing restlessness among strikers and sporadic outbreaks in scattered rail centers, Storm clouds of the strike in their irregular movement over the coun- try apparently centered for the movement over Illinois; and Mis- souri. New disorders broke out in Chicago where mobs of striking shopmen and sympathizers continued terrorism of workers and suspected. strike-breakers. Many Beaten Several,.men,, suspected of being strike. breakers,..were pulled from atreet.cars and beaten, and the homes of workers were besieged and at- tacked, with a hail of sticks and stones.

The strikers in- a telegram to Governor Hyde thanked him for the “fair and impartial po- sition” he had taken in refusing to order troops to strike centers, and assuring him that they would do everything in their power to prevent violence or the destruction of prop- erty. Most railroads reported traffic as usual, Disorders continued in the south where the first outbreaks of the strike occurred, Fred J: White, superintendent of the car department of the Illinois Central railroad at Harahan, a few miles above New Orleans was beaten by two men. Negroes Set On Three negroes, employed in shops of. the company, were set upon by a crowd of white men. After a pistol duel, in which more than 25 shots were fired, all three were wounded, two of them seriously. A man watch- ing the fight was also wounded. Two men working in the Illinois Central yards in New. Orleans were severely beaten by a crowd of men said to be strikers after several shots had been exchanged.
