Pe Bidder on Project West of McKenzie THREE BIDS PRESENTED Action on Second Project De- ferred — Contract May Be Awarded Later At least 10 miles of state highway No. 3, known as the Red Trail, in Burleigh county east of Bismarck will be improved this summeras the re- sult of action taken by the Burleigh county commissioners late yesterday, and there is a probability that con- tracts will be let later for the im- provement of the other 18 mile stretch, thereby making a standard improved road from Bismarck east to the Kidder county line, _The improvement of state highway No. 3 across the entire length of Kid- der county is already under contract for this year's vonstruction and bids will be opened at Jamestown’ tomor- row for the improvement of that part of the highway in Stutsman county which is still unimproved, with all likelihood -of the work being done this summer. Consequently if the second contract for Burleigh county . Work is let later, the close of this year will see a proved highway from Bismarck east to Fargo. Three Bidders _ Bids were opened on the proposed improvements in Burleigh, county at the court house yesterday afternoon, the project being divided into two sections.

DROPS THREE FLAGS London, May 12,—@)—An ex- change telegraph dispatch from Oslo says that when the Amund- sen-Ellsworth dirigible Norge passed over the North Pole she dropped the American, Norwegian and Italian flags. The 2,760 mile route was in the land of the Midnight Sun, making it a daylight trip throughout. After passing the pole the Norge, which started with enough fuel for 3,000 miles, headed for an unexplored area estimated ut 1,000,000 square nyjles, one third as large as contin- ental United States, and the last un- visited by man.

After negotiations on terms sug- gested by Sir Herbert, Samuel, chair- man of the Royal commission, the British trades union congress agreed vo call off the general strike which had resulted in the stoppage of work by millions of men, In some quar- ters the number was estimated as high as five million. , Miners Still Out The 1,120,000 coal miners, in whose London, eral stri j behalf the general strike was called as an expression of sympathy, are still out. Determination of their course will be reached Friday when their national conference is scheduled to meet. Premier Baldwin has an- nounced he will seek to effect re- sumption of negotiations between the coal miners and their employers. The general strike was called off unconditionally but a ‘basis was laid down for resumption of negotiations on the coal dispute.

The populace of London and the large provincial centers greeted news of the settlement with the wildest enthusiasm, although in some er towns workers at first were inclined to doubt their truth of the report. The number of men who responded to the strike call was never definite- ly fixed, either by the government or the trades union congress, but some authorities placed the figure as 5,000,000, including the 1 miners. The Strike’s Effect The first effect of the strike was to tie up transportation, and the rzovernment hurriedly recruited vel- unteer workers. "Measures planned long in advance to cope with any such contingency were put in effect to assure the population’s food sup- ply, and distributing centers were or- ganized in all the large cities. There were minor disorders in var- fous parts of the country. Most of these disturbances which arose through attempts to stop the opem- tion of the volunteer services, were attributed, however, to disorderly cle- ments rather than to the strikers. The termination of the general strike is based on negotiations, con- ducted unofficially by Sir Hétbert Samuel, chairman of the royal coal commission, and Chairman Pugh of the generai- council of the trades union congress, the latter accepting Sir Herbert’s proposals ‘ag a basis for resumption of negotiations. A. P. Conveys News The Associated Press was the first to convey the news to A. J. Cook, the miners’ chief, as he was leaving the headquarters of his union for lunch. When told the strike was called off he stood for a moment in silence and then said he had received no official intimation from Downjng street. Frank Hodges, secretary of the miners’ international federation, tien drove up. Mr! Cook ran to meet him and immediately told him the news. The two men looked at each other for a brief space and then, with « gtim smile and a shrug of his should- ers, Mr. Cook drove off. bd J. H. Thomas, the railwaymen’s secretary, who has had much to do with the peace parleys, was on the verge of tears as We left the confer- ence in Downing street. Some one asked him if he had anything to say. He shook his head and, in w tremu- lous voice, said: “Nothing.” On the. other hand Winston Churchill, chaneellor of the ex- checquer, who is credited with having had much to do with the government's conduct of the situation, appeared with a broad smile. CONDITIONS OF .THE STRIKE SETTLEMENT London, May 12—(AP)—Sir Herbert Samuel, as chairman of the royal com- mission which made the report on the British coal industry about which the conflict centered, was the natural go- between in the settlement of the gen- eral strik. His memorandum, which the general council of the trades unton congress. accepted as basis for calling off the general strike and resuming negotia- tions, contains the following points: First: The coal subsidy to be re- newed for such reasonable time as may be required. kerosene when an explosion occurred.
