Cc THE BOULDER DAM FIVE GOOD WORKERS WHEN DICTATORS MEET IF CROMWELL WERE HERE By Arthur Brisbane (Copyright, 1926) President Coolidge should be sup- ported by congress in his effort to make the great Boulder Canyon dam ‘of ‘the Colorado a reality, without un- necessary delay. The bill to carry out that magnif- icent wealth-producing enterprise has heen called hitherto the “Swing-John- ison bill,” but while Senator Johnson continues to work earnestly for the bill, it is reported that Congressman Swing has suddenly lost interest, or gone to sleep. However, the “swing” can easily be left out. The dam will be the work of President Coolidge, Secretary Work, Hiram Johnson ‘and Herbert Hoover. It is reported that Mr, Swing show- ed indifferenee concerning the meet- ing called by the ident for a discussion at the Wi House with a delegation from the house committee in charge of the bill. That Mr. Swing thad actually to be dragooned into at- ‘tending a meeting of such vitel im- portance tto this state, his constituents and the whole nation, is inconceivable. It will not edd greatly to Mr. Swing’s next electoral majority if he gets one.

DEBATE ON THE FARM BILLS IS ‘NBAR THE END House Members Have Night Session—Another Indi- cated For Tonight THREE BILLS PRESENTED Little Indication Has Yet Been Given Ay to the Trend of Sentiment hington, 7—(AP)—The house today ‘swung into the home stretch of the four-day period set aside for debate on the Haugen, Tin- cher, and Curtis-Aswell farm relief bills, The halfway post was rounded at a session ast night and indica- tions pointed to members again sit- ting till well after dark. So far only a handful have spoken and little positive indication has been given as to the trend of sentiment, although friends of each proposal hold ‘the drift to be their w: Each has been explained by its au- thor, Representative Tincher, Repub- lican, Kansas, completing the trio by taking the floor in behalf of his last night. As yet, ‘however, no party leaders have spoken and their pater- nal voices are awaited’ to give the first definite clue to prospective line- ups. Prohibition Mentioned Prohibition, meanwhile, has bobbed up anew in the situation, with Repre- sentative Black, Democrat, of New York, contending in a statement that it is the reason farm relief needed and asserting that “the an r to the farm problem is light wine and beer.” An attempt was made three years ago to amend the McNary-Haugen bill, which was based on principles similar ito those in the pending Haugen meas- ure, to permit use of corn, wheat, barley and rye in the manufacture of 2.75 per cent alcoholic beverages. Predictions have been maée that Democrats will support the Haugen bill with its plan for price stabiliza- ‘tion in the hope that the measure, as some have expressed it, can be left on the White House steps for the pres- ident either to approve or ‘reject. These, however, have not been borne out by the applause Democras have been giving to speakers endorsing the Tincher credit ‘proposal and the Curtis-Aswell national commodity marketing plan. Close Attention Given That members are closely following discussion has been apparent from the start by a large number in at- tendance on the floor, usually a sign that nvinds have not been made up. jon Jast night was spiri pled frequently during his attack on the Haugen bill, Represent- ative Tincher at times brought both members and the crowd that. packed ithe gallery into roars of laughter, as he shook his massive fist at an op- ponent while panting for breath with which to reply. He denounced the Haugen plan as a “direct subsidy,” and urged mem- bers to look to England in the midst lof a general strike, to learn the ef- fects of a subsidy policy. He de- seribed the corn belt delegation sup- porting i as “lobbyists who have no principles. and declared they had changed their position rogarding its WESTERN PART | OF STATE GETS. HEAVIEST FALL {Bismarck Has Had Approx- imately Half an Inch of Rain Since Yesterday CROPS ARE BENEFITED i Yesterday's Shower Broke State’s. Unprecedented Period. of Drought Millions of dollars were added to the crop prospects of western North Dakota farmers by rain which visited this section yesterday afternoon and tthe steady drizzle which has ¢ontin- ued through the greater part of to day. One-third of an‘ inch of precipit tion was registered by the weather bureau here up to 7 a.m. today and 0. W. Roberts, veteran forecaster, said the downfall ‘was substantial enough to do h “world of good” to ‘crops already in the ground. Addi- ‘tional rainfall up to press time today totaled .17 inch, giving Bismarck ap- proximately half an inch of rainfall since yesterday noon, Yesterday's rainfall was heaviest in the western part of the state, official reports to the weather bureau here this morning indicate. Dunn Center reported .50 of an inch up to 7 a. m. today and Dickinson reported .49. Bismarck was third with .33 of an inch, while Williston and Minot re- ported .20 of an inch. No rainfall was reported from Jamestown, Valley City, Devils Lake, Grand Forks and other points to the cast. Rain Where Most Needed “The much needed rain of yester- day, last night and today broke the most protracted period of drought in the climatological history of North Dakota,” said Mr. Roberts today. “While the rain did not extend east of the James river-to any great ex- tent, rain occurred at points where most needed, the central and weste portions of the state. More rain expected late this atfernoon and t night, to be followed by partly cloudy weather Saturday, with not much change in temperatu The total precipitation from Sep. ember 1, 1925, to May 7, 1926, w: 21 inches, as compared with 4¥ inches for the period from September 1, 1914, to May 7, 1915, Mr. Roberts id, buinging up to date a compar: tive statement which recently w published in the Tribune, showing the amounts of precipitation during the fall, winter and spring of 1914-1915 and those of the fall, winter and spring of 1925-1926. “The greatest benefit derived from ithe rain of yesterday will be to pas- tures and ranges, especially those burned over sections of which there are a great many in central and west- ern North Dakota,” Mr. Roberts said. “Late sown grain will also be greatly helped. In some part of the Slope the soil was becoming mostly too dry for plowing for corn and this work will be greatly lightened. Penetrates Two Inches As a rule the ratio between precip- ‘itation and soil penetration one to 10; in other words, under ordi y circumstances one inch of rail will penetrate to a depth of 10 inches. However, owing to the extreme dry- ness of the soil in.central and west- ern North Daokta, the penetration was much less, the .33 of an inch of iprecipitation at Bismarck during yes- terday afternoon and last night. pene- ‘rating to a depth of only two inches on cultivated fields. “More rain is needed in the imme- diate future for best results, but the cloudiness at present tegds to con- serve the soil moisture to the great- est extent. It is also a well establish- ed fact that once a drought is broken rain is far more frequent thereatfer.” The rainfall, in addition to being direct benefit to the crops and pas tures, has done much toward restor- (Continued on page five.) provisions ugtil it has beeome a mon- strosity.” Hall Supports Haugen Bill Frank 0. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, Representative Tincher charged, has shifted- to the Haugen camp under the influence of the corn belt group. This brought Represent- ative Williams, Republican, Illinois, ‘to his feet, contending that Lowden’s recent pronouncement in favor of the principles embodied in the Haugen Dill was in line with his testimony be- ffore the agricultural committee, but Kansan would not agree that this was true. Representative Hall, Re- publican of North Daokta, said farm relief should come only through an equalization fee as proposed in the Haugen bill, while Representative McKeewen, Democrat, of Oklahoms, -lasserted that reference to the Eng- lish strike and “subsidy” were at- fempts “to scare” members away from the Haugen measure.

Premier Baldwin and J. H. Thomas, labor leader, have been in conference. An international aspect was given to the strike when the executive com- mittee of the Danish trades union at Copenhagen gave preliminary notice of a walkout in support of the British workers. The communist international in Moscow seeks to bring together rep- resentatives of French, Belgi: Czecho Slovakian, Dutch and Ger: mun labor organizations to frame measures aiding the British strikers, Contributions Received Méney is being sent to the British workers by Mexican and Argentine labor bodies, and American labor has been asked to contribute. There was little disorder up to noon today, although disturbances oc- curred in Edinburgh last night and at Middlesborough, where the freight station was wrecked and an alleged attempt was made to wreck a passenger train. The Welsh coal fields are quiet but the attitude of the strikers in Cardiff has become menacing. The government claims the workers are trickling back to their jobs or making overtures for protection if they should return. Conditions Improve , Volunteers for necessary" service are increasing and many more busses and trains were available today, The London subway has posted “no help wanted” signs, While the trade*.union congress is” deliberating whether to call out the electrical workers, strikes have heen declared at the New Castle and News port power plants. Shipping conditions are almost nor- mal at Liverpool and are improving at Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin. _ The telephone and mail sevice are improving. UNOFFICIAL PEACEMAKERS ARE WORKING FOR SOLUTION London, May —-The guarded prediction was made this morning by influential labor quarters that the strike crisis might be settled carly next week. This is the most optimistic si eS= tion thus far emanating from a high source. Upon what it is based was not divulged, Unofficial peacemakers are stead- ily working for a solution, and the pressure of the churches and other bodies as well as prominent individ- uals is being brought to bear to end the trouble. It is understood that Premier Bald- win and J. H. Thomas, one of the labor leaders, were closeted at a late hour last night, but what took place is unknown, Officially both the trades ui congress and the government standing pat and both claim things are going well in their respectiye camps. Conditions Improving The government at noon today stat- ed that conditions were improving throughout the country with only minor disorders. Traffic conditions were easier, with many more trains and other transportation facilities available. The British public entered upon the fourth day of the general strike heartened by the fact that there would be more newspapers published, If the strike continues, the irre- sponsible sections of the public probably will become more trouble- some as the days pass. There have been numerous di turbantes already. The worst trou- ble has occurred in Glasgow, which a notoriously radical population, ecially in the adjoining ship- building and mining districts, There was fierce rioting in the east side of the city yesterday when the police broke many heads and themselves suffered a bombardment of stones and other missiles. The constabulary got the upper hand. Sixty persons were arrested. _ Police Kept Busy There was some looting in Edin- burgh and some of the big English towns also witnessed lively scenes, while in southeast London tumult kept the police busy a long time. The rioting in no case was on such a large scale as to compe! the police to call for the aid of troops. The strike leaders continue to deprecate violence, and the disturbances appar- ently have been due to bad elements over which they have no control. Traffic movements generally show- ed improvement yesterday. Cross channel communication between Dub- lin and Holyhead is to be restored and if plans are carried out the slight service be- tween Belfast and Great Britain is to be increased.
