PAGE EIGHT’ GAMMONS WILL HOLD HIS d0B Salary Will Be Paid From Commission’s Funds, Says Miember of Board Decision by the courts of the fight among members of the state indus- trial commission over the question of the secretaryship appeared inevitabi here today. J. A. Kitchen. one of the two ma- jority members of the board, said that he and Attorney Gener: orge Shafer will unite in refusing to recognize Governor Sorlie’s action in appointing State Bank Examiner Gilbert Semingson to succeed John Gammons, incumbent. a gee ess Gammons will be continued on the pay roll of the industrial commission, he said, and his sa will be paid from the commission's funds. It ubout $10,000 left over from propriations made in 1919 which did wot, under the law, revert to the state treasury at the expiration of | the biennium as is the custom with most other state appropriations. May Force Mandamus Action That the state auditing board will approve a voucher for Gammons' salary drawn on this fund appears unlikely, however, and it may be Necessary to bring action in! mandamus against the tw compel it to pay the bill, Ki said. Regardless of any sion a the executive's authority to appoint. a | secreta’ is expected that the, right of the majority members to use the unexpended appropriation to pay his salary also will be injected into the controversy by the governor. | hope of shutting off Gam-| mons’ salary is believed to lic in that | section of the law commonly refer- | red to as the “veto clause” in the in-| dustrial commission law. The ciause| gets its name from the fact that no| wrder, rule, regulation, by-iaw or| written contract adopted by the com-| mision shall be effective “unless ap- proved and signed” by the executive. | If it requires an order from the commission to permit the state audi- (tor to draw on the unexpended bal-| ance of the industrial commission | ‘there is little doubt that the gover-| nor would refuse to support it. | Kitchen, however, said today that! he understands no such order is needed. de June Construction Breaks All Records | June construction contracts in the | territory east of the Rocky Moun-/ tains broke all previous monthly rec- | ords, according to F. W. Dodge cor- ation. Building and engineering | ‘ontracted for last month in| eastern states (including about 91 per cent of the countrv’s iotal) amounted to $632,478,000. There have been only four previous months that had as much as 600 million dollars in contracts: Augus 1925, August, 1926, March, 1927, and April, 1927. March of this year held the previous high record of $620, 200, The June increase over was 15 per cent; over June, 1 per cent. The June record brought the vol- ume of construction started during the first half of the year up to $2,187,993,300, which is two per cent ahead of the first half of 1926. Up to Tune, this vear had been running a little behind last year. It should | he understood that building construc- tion has run appreciably, though not | seriously, behind last year, and that engineering work has largely in-j creased. Important Items The June contract record included the following important items: $23: 814,100, or 38 per cent of all co! for residential building , or 24 per cent, for pub- $88,122,400, $151,398,5 ‘per lie works and utilities; ings; $42,121,800, or seven per cent, | for educational buildings; and $3: 879,300, or five per cent, for indus- | trial buildings. | Contemplated new work reported in| June amounted to $729,178,900, which ‘was 14 per cent less than the amount reported in May and 10 per cent less than that reported in June of last year, The Northwest The total volume of constructi contracts let in the northwest (Min- nesota, the Dakotas and northern Michigan) during June amounted to $8,343,500. There were decreases of four per cent from May and of 20, per cent from June of last year. In cluded in last ‘month's building ord were’ the following important | items: $3,064,700, or 37 per cent of all construction, for residential build- ingy; $1,941,700, or 23. per cent, for public works and utilities; $1,084,300, or 13 per cent, for educational proj- ects; and $702,000, or 8 per cent, for industrial plants. New construction started in this district during the first six months of this year amounted to $42,084,800, which was 22 per cent under the umount reported in the first six months of last year. Contemplated new work reported in the northwest last month reached a total of $13,298,000, This figure was 20 per cent over the figure for May | of this year and eight per cent under | the total for June, 1926.

Cone, a farmer, and R. C. McFarland, a county ‘udge, both of Jamestown, N. D., said today after a call on President Coolidge. Both Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois and Vice President Dawes would re- ceive good support, they declared, should either run for the Republican nomination, but Mr. Coolidge was held by some to be the strongest candidate, The Jamestown men headed a dele- gation of North Dakota folks who came in a caravan of automobilessto the executive offices to be received by the president. 5 They claimed there was no ill feel- ing in North Dakota against Mr. |Coolidge for his veto of the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill but added that the farmers there were expecting him to snonsor a relief measure to takes its iplace. They added that the farmers were feeling good because of fine crop prospects.

There, it appears, there is a good prospect of much corn matur- ing this year and being available for seed. Because most of North Dakota’s corn is marketed on thevhoof or in the form of iry products, failure of the corn to mature will not be felt severely here as would be the in some other sections. Fear hi been expressed, however, th ure of the crop to mature will re- sult in a scarcity of home-grown seed. next spring. It is possible, however, that with favorable conditions be- tween now and fall enough of the crop will mature to insure plenty of seed. Reporting from Hettinger C. A. mands said that all the feed crops ured and that corn and small ng favorable growth. He expects of the corn to ma- ture before frost. Some hail has the southwe: ern part of the state, he said, r ports of damage coming from Adams and Bowman counties, + Rishworth “said farmers in’ the southeastern part of the state are’ busy with haying and are. plowing corn. The only unfavorable sign with regard to the small grain crop is the appearance of red rust. He aid he.has seen some fields in whic _ it was very bad. Farmers are afraid f black rust, but none has appeared s yet, he said. After a tour through Foster, Eddy, Wells and Benson counties, A. L. Miller estimated that the wheat ac age was reduced 10 per cent while the rye acreage was increased 50 per ent and flax 25 per cent. All seed- g in this area was completed about 0 days later than the average but he crop is not more than a week ater than average now, he said. Conditions are generally favorable, he said, and if they remain so for he next 60 days this section will ave a crop far above the average. Unless the*fall is late and open, how- ever, corn will not be fit for any- thing but feed, he said, Haying is under way-in eastern McLean, Kidder, Sheridan, Burleigh, Morton and Stark counties which he visited last week, according to H. Leutz. Although’ the smail grain crops are making good progress corn | as not done well and many farmers re reseeding their corn ground with millet, he said. He estimates, that, strength among, be due to his “fine showing in the Ford-Sapiro trial,” his opposition to the child labor amendment and League of Nations to the fact that he is a middlewesterner.

M. Erickson, most of \ Ke Ue the farmers now cutting being those who were short of feed, Erickson has revised downward his estimate of the rye yield in his district. A week ago he placed it at. 15. bushels per acre. His" present estimate is 12 to 14 bushels. The rye crop is made, barring frost or hail, he said. General prospects in this,.as in other istriets, continue to be'very prom- ising, _As in previous weeks all of the field men report fine pastures with stock in excelfent condition".
