NONPARTISAN ORGAN SLAMS ITS SENATORS Will Publish Names of, Sen-| Charge ators Voting Against - Child Labor Bill ASSAILS HARMONY | Declares That Harmony Pro- gram of the Legislature Has Got League Nothing Vigorous denunciation of any Non- partisan Senators against ratification of the feueral child labor amendment and another —_ slam at the harmony program of the state legislature by the North Dakota Nonpartisan, official organ of the Nonpartisan League, today fea- tured political gossip in the state capital. In an editorial written before the state senate yesterday afternoon de- feated the child labor amendment, the newspaper say “The editor of the Nonpartisan is d that some Nonpartisans are ad oppo: and, are going to vote against this bill. He does not be-| lieve there is a Nonpartisan who! would so basely betray little children as to do that, but he can promise all that as long as he runs this paper, whether a few days or weeks, with each issue that appears the name of every Nonpartisan voting against the little boys and girls will be published under the heading: “These are the men and women who ran on a platform pledged to sup- port, the child labor law, but who in- stead voted with the slave-drivers and exploiters of child labor. Re- member them as long as you live.” Nine Nonpartisan Senators yoted against the measure. The paper al- so prints a statement from Senator |, Lynn Fragier in favor of it. The legislature is criticized again in the newspaper, which gays: “The third week of the North Da- kota legislature has come and gone forever. The outstanding accom- plishment so far lies in the I. V. A. getting everything they want—which is to leave things just as they are. Another ten days of this beautiful ‘harmony’ will fix things so the Nonpartisang can finish the session by butting their braing against a stone wall for all the good it will do them. After that we will have to listen, whether we like it or not, to the several kinds of star spangled asses parading around with Nonpar- tisan halters on that wouldn't hold a nanny goat.” Gloria Swanson Is Wed Again Paris,, Jan, 28.—Gloria Swan- son, American moving picture actress who for some weeks has been making a production in France, was married at noon to- day to the Marquis de LaFalaise De LaCoudray.

TRIBUNE | ano | PRICE FIVE CENTS $2.00 IN CHICAGO |INDEPENDENTS SEE POLITICAL TALK IN PROBE Nonpartisans With Political Investigation and Flaunting Governor TO NAME COMMITTEE Immediate Investigation of State‘ Highway Commis- sion ‘To Be Undertaken MILL BILL. REPORTED Another measure on which Political lines will be drawn is expected to.be reported in the state house of representatives this afternoon. The industries committee. has voted to report favorably on a bill to repeal the law providing for .a board of managers of the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks. The measure was slightly amended in committee, so that it will go into general orders this after- noon and be fought out in com- mittee of the whole tomorrow. A political issue which will, be the subject of future de- bate may have arisen out of the action of the state house} ~ of representatives late yes- terday afternoon in voting to accept a majority committee report recommending the ap- pointment of a cormnmittee of five to conduct an investiga- tion of the Highway Commis- | sion, The committee would be empowered to hire attor- neys and take other neces- ary steps in the probe. + The charges of the Inde- pendents are that the investi- gation is purely political, that it is being held in spite oi Governor Sorlie’s injunction against political investiga- tions, and that by their action the Nonpartisans have taken the first step in breaking the harmony that has existed in the North Dakota legislature. Speaker B. C. Larkin said that he probably would be ready to name the investigat- ing committee sometime to- day. The resolution is ex- pected to be finally passed this afternoon. The test came yesterday afternoon when the House by a vote of 57 to 54, with two Nonparti- sans absent, voted to accept the report recommending the probe. One Nonpartisan, Representative Helbling of Morton county, voted against the investigation. “We held a meeting of the state affairs committee this morning to hear any charges against the High- way Commission,” said Rep. Twichell, Cass county, “They've had three or four days to bring in charges against the Highway Commission. Not a single bit of evidence tending ‘ to show dishonesty, nonfeasance or mal- feasance was brought before the committee. “It must be apparent to everyone that any investigation ordered here will be purely political,” continued Mr. Twichell. “Things have been going along in this house harmoni- ously. This matter would throw things back to thé bitterness of two years ago. I want to see harmony continue, and see this body enact the laws the people need. “Aren’t we here to do the best thing for the state of North Da- kota?” asked Rep. Twichell. “Rep. Vogel, McLean county, Non- partisan league leader,” answered Mr. Twichell. Refers to 1921 “I can remember in. 1921 when an investigation was pulled off that was nothing but a political investiga- tion,” said Mr. Vogel. “The gentle- man from Cass voted to pay $14,000 for a political audit. MI want to say this is not a poli- tical matter in any sense of the word. You have a department here spending over $2,000,000 and the people want to know how and where it is spent. This resolution pro- vides thag a committee of five shall determine how it shall proceed with regard to this investigation, how much money shall be spent in it. “Arguments for an investigation were not presented before the state affairs committee because it was not an investigating committee. I am not saying there is wrong-doing in the highway commission. It may receive a clean bill of health.” Rep. Twichell, again declaring the investigation was purely political, said that the fact that the state affairs committee lined up political- (Continued on page three) e ' IN TRAINING C.

When the North Dakota State Senate late yesterday voted, 82 to 17, against ratification, many Nonpartisans vo- ted to kill the amendment, in spite of the fact that it is a plank in the League platform. Many Senators, it became known, became convinced they should act against the measure in the last two weeks, following in- tensive study and public hearings.

Highway Body - Is Commented A communication received by the House of Representatives from Tim Running Post, American Legion, Devils -Lake, endorsed a policy it said had been adopted by the State Highway Commission of giving pref- ence in employment to service men, where consistent with efficiency, and urged other departments of the state government do the same. Governor Signs Two Measures / Governor Sorlie has signed the first two bills to be passed in the present session of the legislature. They are senate bill No. 10, ap: propriating $4,027.76 to meet a def- icit in the legislative expense of two years ago and senate bill No. 11 appropriating $1,000 to meet the per diem and expense of the state board of pardons. is jae Party Lines Broken Voting to kill the amendment were 23 Independents and nine Nonparti- sans, while two Independents and 15 Nonpartisans voted for ratification. There was a plank in the league platform calling for ratification. While the vote destroys any possi- bility of the passage of the amend- ment at the present legislative ses- sion, there is nothing to prevent its being taken up at the next session if it has not yet been ratified by two-thirds of the states by! “hat time, On account of the long debate which took place over the child la- bor question no other measures were acted on by the senate at yesterday afternoon’s session, the two ciga- rette bills, and the banking bills which had, been expected to take a prominent ‘place in deliberations be- ing put over until today. Preliminary Battle There was some jockeying over the parliamentary situation after the reading @f the report of the commit- tee on public health, which had been agreed upon by the committee Mon- day ‘night was read. Then the debate began. Senator Lynch was the first speak- er in the formal discussion of the measure. He declared himself to be unalterably opposed to it, s: that ag the father of two sons he objected. to the proposal that the government should come between him and his boys.

HIGHEST PRICE IN MANY YEARS IS REGISTERED General Buying by Commis- sion Houses Soon Absorbs Profit Taking Sales REMARKABLE RISE May Wheat Now Highest It Has Been Since 1868, Ex- cepting the War Period Chicago, Jan. 28.—(By the A. P.)—May wheat today went above the $2.00 mark shortly after the opening of the board of trade session. General buying by commis- sion houses took place after the opening and absorbed profit-taking sales which sent initial values upward. Initial quotations on May were $1.9914 to $2.00 or a gain of 14. to % cents over 1 yesterday’s finish. European news continued bullish today, and with indreased buying May went fractionally above the $2.00 mark, the outside figure made during the Hutchinson deal of 1888. With the exception of 1916- 21 the price attained during the early dealings today was the highest since 1868, when wheat for immediate delivery sold at $2.20 in November. Immense trading in wheat con- tinued with the same consistent run of buying orders which have been so much in evidence since the open- ing. An hour and a half after the market opened, May was up around 5 cents over yesterday’s finish. Pro- fit-taking on a big scale was ab- sorbed readily. Wheat continued its upward trend with persistent buying on all dips below $2.04%, which tended to re- strict fluctuation to some extent. May touched $2.05%, a new high price record, the market slightly eased off with the close showing an advance of 2% cents to 5% cents with May to $2.05 and July at $1.73 CANADA Winnipeg, Manitoba, Jan. 28.—The sensational rise in the price of wheat continued on the Winnipeg grain exchange today, the May fu- °l ture advancing to $2.16 3-4, July at $2.13 1-2 had gained three and three- quarters cents over yesterday's close. EXPRESS RATE FIGHT FAILS Court Refuses to Issue Pre- liminary Injunction St. Paul, Jan. 28.—Western and southern railroads are denied a temporary injunction to restrain en- forcement of lower express rates in their territory in a decision of United, States District court filed today. Chicago, Jan. 28.—A preliminary injunction to restrain enforcement of lower express rates in the west- ern district has been denied by the United States at St. Louis, according to railroad attorneys here. The lower rates, ordered sometime ago by the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, were opposed by the west- ern and southern railroads in a bill for injunction filed a month ago at » Paul and heard at St. Louis by Federal Judges Booth, Sanborn, and Collett. With the question of the preliminary injunction removed, the issue is expected to go to further hearings on its merits, according to railway counsel.
