“PAGE EIGHT THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1928 MANY CONVICTS _ SBEK PAROLES 125 Inmates of Prison to Ask Clemency at State Pardon Board Meeting | Members of the state board of pardons have a “heavy” job cut out} for them when they meet here De-) cember 3 for their regular semi-an- | nual meeting. Approximately 125 inmates of the state penitentiary have made appli- zation for clemency, in the form of parole, pardon or the restoration of | citizenship. | Although only two meetings of | the board are scheduled for each year, eight emergency meetings have been called since June by the president of the board, who is the governor of the state. It has been the custom of the board to have emergency or special meetings as| soon as several persons have made application for clemency. Other members of the board be- sides the governor are Chief Justice Nuessle of the supreme court; At- torney General Shafer; John L. Hulting of Grand For! . Robertson, Fargo; Mis: Budge, the governor's secretary the secretary of the board. ARRESTS PEND IN 8-HOUR LAW Supreme Court Decision to Be Used as Basis for Women Working-Day Action Enforcement of the eight-hour working day for women in North Dakota will hereafter be more strin- gent, according to Miss Alice Angus, secretary of the minimum wage de- partment of the state workmen's compensation bureau. Several arrests for violation of the law are expected to result from the recent decision of the supreme court in the case of Ed Ehr, manager of @ Minot cafe, Miss Angus said. She said that up to this time there had been some doubt as to the constitu- Husband Dies, Dog Is Saved With her dog in Earle F.

She pointed out that warrants had been sworn out against oper- ators of the seven largest cafes’ in Minot and that the case against Ehr had been merely to test the law. The case was the first to come up fn supreme court regarding the pro- tective law for women in this state. The secretary of the department makes two inspection trips yearly, visiting all towns and cities of 1,500 or more persons, and going through all places of business where women form the largest part of the force. She does not, however, visit any offices. Although only nine persons were arrested and fined on the last in- spection trip, due to the fact that the Ehr case had been pending in supreme court for more than a year, arrests for violation of the law are expected to be more numerous in the future. BUILDING TREND INCREASE SEEN North Dakota was one of the states in the northwest that enjoyed a substantial increase in contracts let for new buildings and engineer- ing work during the month of Octo-| ber, according to the Commercial West, banker’s publication. “Minnesota, the Dakotas and northern Michigan had $9,555,800 in contracts for new buildings and engineering work during the past month, the magazine said. “The above figure was 40 per cent ahead of the total for September of this year and it was 35 per cent in excess of October, 1927, total. In- cluded in last month’s building rec- ord were the following items of im- portance: $4,474,700, or 47 per cent of all construction, for residen- tial buildings; $3,171,200, or 33 per cent for public works and utilities; $744,300, or eight per cent, for com- mercial buildings; and $360,500, or four per cent for educational proj- ects. “New construction started in the Northwest during the first 10 months of this year has reached a total of $70,598,700, which was a loss of 7 per cent from the amount started during the first 10 months of 1927. “Contemplated projects as report- ed last month in this district amounted to $9,855,500. This figure was 56 per cent ahead of the amount reported in September of this year and it was thirty per cent above the amount reported in October of last year.

As a result of publicity given the methods used by the swindlers, Con- gressman Walter Newton of Min- nesota has devised a bill which he hopes will end the operations of the “tipster service” companies over the telephone systems of the country. Proponents of the bill will get the full cooperation of the North Dakota state banking department, officials at the department said, in an effort to halt the theft of huge sums of money throughout North Dakota each year. “It is a crying shame that this class of swindiers can go about their work of mulcting innocent and un- advised men and women out of their earnings without some sort of con- trol,” Newton said in a bankers as- sociation publication. “IT know that they make liberal use of the telephone systems, even in the face of efforts of the tele- phone companies to prevent them from using their lines where they are quite certain that they are be- ing used for such a purpose. The telephone companies, of course, can- not do much to stop such practices. They cannot, obviously, know all who are using their lines, and I think they would welcome some means of putting a stop to the work of these swindlers, “TI am not in position at this time to state just what can be done. I am satisfied, however, that some method can be devised that will put a stop in a large degree to the em- ployment of the telephone for such purposes. Possibly some method of control can be worked out through the Interstate Commerce commis- sion in which the telephone compan- ies, I am sure, will be glad to co- operate, District Court Opens at Washburn Tuesday Washburn, N.

The Italians, flying the ;reat Savoia Marchetti plane which later carried them from Rome to Brazil, set a new mark of 58 hours and 34 minutes at Casale Del Prete, Italy, May 31, June 1 and 2. Germany again came back to her position of supremacy in the race when Johann Risztics and Wilhelm Zimmerman, flying a sister-ship to the transatlantic Bremen, set the present world duration mark of 65 hours and 25 minutes over Dessau, Germany, early in July. Italy-Germany Compete William Brock and Edward Schlee, who first sprung into the limelight through their spectacular flight from Detroit to see made a val- iant attempt to bring the duration honors back to America, but were forced to descend on October 1 af- ter setting a new American record of 59 hours, 19 minutes and 16 sec- onds at San Diego, Cal. A faulty gas line forced descent after the plane appeared to be droning. its way to a new world mark. While the season for record-shat- tering attempts in Germany is prac- tically at a close, Italy, favored with a warm climate, is continuing her trials to break the German rec- ord, while the United States must rely upon the several projected flights beneath California’s sunny skies.
