_PAGE TWO ~ HERE INSPECTING ~~ CONSIDERING Vice-President, Rapelje As-. serts That Handicaps of Earlier Days of Shopcrafts’ Strike Has Been Overcome, And Says That Adyvertise- ments For Men Have Been Discontinued. | J. M. Rapelje, vice president of e Northern Pacific Railway in charge of operation, H. E. Stevens, chie? engineer, and other St. Paul! officials visited here late yester-| day. They are ona tour over the; company’s lines, inspecting road bed, equipment, construction activ- | ities and proposed improvement | projects. Conferences on railroad ; problems, operations and develop» ment plans are being held with lo- | cal officials and representatives. | The officials came in on No. 7} yesterday afternoon. There were | * about fifteen in the party. i “Handicaps appearing in the earlier days of the shopcrafts’ strike have largely been overcome, the officials report. “The Northern Pacific has, from the first, made every effort to pro- perly serve the public, to operate its trains, and, at the same time, ~ to safeguard, insofar as possible, the interests and the welfare of our old men,” said Mr. Rapelje. ~“We placed over the system a large number of loyal officials and office men to help keep the trains moving, and, virtually, to hold many of the men’s jobs open for our old employees, who had been mislead into leaving their posi- tions. We held these jobs, through these means and others, as.long as could reasonably be done. { “We have, from the first tried: to make our old employees under- stand that we wanted them back, 5 th could be devised to induce them to return. Fortunately these methods met with success and the day. The situation has so improv- ed that we are discontinuing all advertisements for men wanted over the entire system. Handled Heaviest Traffic “Since July 1st, when-the shop- men’s strike began, the railroads : have handled the heaviest traffic, excepting coal, recorded at any period in their history, except in = October 1920. Throughout July car loadings increased rapidly, notwithstanding difficulties attend- ant upon the coal strike. Even when miners returned to work and ~ an exceptionally large volume of . business was turned over to the railroads, the carriers continued: to operate at better than normal cat pacity. Indeed, in the week .end- ing Sept, 2, the second week after the coal strike was called off, the roads moved about 9,500,000 tons of coal. Throughout the strike of shopmen, the number of cars of freight has increased at the .rate} of 15,000 to 35,000 cars per week. = In the week ending August 12, a total of 952,580 cars were loaded and handled compared with 808,- 269 in 1921. In the week endin; Sept. 2nd, the freight car loadings amounted to 931,598 cars, an in- =: erease over the previous week of = 440,760 cars. This was an in- crease over the corresponding week of last year of 100,310 cars. In the week ending Sept. 2, there- fore, freight loadings were equal to 91.5 percent of the highest e loadings ever recorded, which was for the week of Oct. 15, 1920. é “With the rapid return of shop- , men to their places, the ability of - the railroads to properly and quickly handle the record-breaking treight business is improving jaily. Proud of Record “I am proud of the record made . by the Northern Pacific in this * emergency. I am deeply grateful to the loval and efficient men who have made this recor for our com- pany.

Hon, Burt New, Executive Secre- itary, Democratic ‘National Commit, tee, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. New: Answering your letter of July 31, inquiring about the organization in this state, I beg to advise, answering your first inquiry, that the Democratic organization is‘ not in any way affected by the fu- sion arrangement that exists between the two parties. A county and state organization exists and will be per- fected just the same as if such ar- rangements did not exist. There will| be in each county a chairman, a sec- retary, possibly a treasurer, and I believe an executive committee in all the counties. I know in the coun- ties that have reported to me so far they have an executive committee Vhe committeemen elected in the counties, or the legislative districts rather, wig) meet in Bismarck of Sep- tember 6, and organize by selecting a state chairman, a secretary, and a state executive committeeman. I have not been able to give you heretofore the namas of the men, who will con- stitute the county organizations, for the reason, that they have not report- ed to me. I sent out a notice to them before the date fixed for the meeting, and asked them to advise me of the perfecting of the organization by giv- ing me the names. Many have re- ported, but it is not yet complete, and a second notice is being sent out. When I have complete organization, it will be forwarded to you as you request. I shall act as chairman until the State Central Committee meets in September, when my successor will be elected. I shall not, of course, be a candidate for re-election, as I am a candidate for Justice of the Su- preme Court, , While I am not sure that we have yet perfected the final details of the campaign plans, I believe there will be a joing campaign committee con- sisting of the heads of the two par-|§ ties and also the executive secre- tary of the independent oragnization which is an organization that has been composed of members of both | J parties, but independent of both. It|# is really ‘a tri-patty’ arfangement. We have for several years last past had in this state what has been call- ed an Independent Voters Associa- tion, ‘ The members of the Association were Democrats and Republicans ia a proportion of about one Democrat to two Republicans; then, of course, in addition wé have had two reg- ular party organizations, which are recognized by the law. The cant | i paign committee two years ago, and this year, consisted of the chair- manj of the Republican State Central Committee, the chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and ‘the executive secretary of the Independent Voters Association. This joint campaign committee consisted of the fusion campaign committee that had general charge of the political campaign which both parties were in- tercéted in combating the Nonpar' san League in the state. The execu- tive secretary is Mr, Theo. G.
