There were .reports that these included James “Red” Forsythe and Simon Gordon, both reputed racketeers. Forsythe once was named as Lin- gle’s slayer.

E. J. Taylor, H. O. Saxvik, and Har- old D. Shaft, Bismarck; H. K. Jensen, Mandan, and Edward Erickson, Grand Forks, make up the commis- sion-membership, while W. E. Parsons, deputy superintendent of public in- struction, is secretary. Mr. Shaft, as- sistant attorney general, acted in an advisory capacity as to the legal prob- lems involved in the commission’s work, and drafted the measures con- tained in the report.

Miss Palmer at the time the ruling was discussed last summer sought to have the board make its action af- fect only new employes, while mar- ried women holding positions would not be affected. This proposal fail~ ed, and she voted with the board to drop all married women on the pay- Tolls of state institutions, unless their husbands were incapable of support- ing a family. Law May Be Enacted Mr. Murphy, in fighting the pro- Posal to rescind action, told the board that unless the ruling is allowed tc remain in effect it would provoke the legislature to enact a statute against the employment of married women generally in state offices and insti- tutions.
