¥ 4 " bh EE DICKINSON STOCK - SALE IS SUCCESS} ‘An Even 100 Pure-Bred Sires | Bring Good Prices at Slope Event Dickinson, N. D., May 22.—The first annual sale of pure-bred sires » held here Wednesday by the Mis- souri Slope Livestock association brought together one of the largest crowds ever assembled for a similar event in western North Dakota, and foreshadows what may be expected in the future when the organized live- stock industry gets under full swing in the Missouri Slope country. An even 100 bulls were sold, all Herefords and Shorthorns. The cus- tomers paid spot cash and the prices ranged fairly high. The highest priced animal, a Hereford, went to a Glasgow, Montana, breeder, who has a herd of 700 pure-bred Herefords and grades. The price paid was $285. ‘This prize animal was from the herd of Steve Schnell of Richardton, whose consignment of 12 bulls was believed to be the best at the sale. The aver- age price of all the animals sold was $173.30 a head. The highest priced Shorthorn bull went to Stagelly Bros. of Sanger. A curious fact in connection with the sale was that established stock breeders and farmers came to the sale with money in their pockets, eager to pay reasonable prices for animals. The grain farmers there in large numbers, eager to buy, but they didn’t have the money, and had to be content with the poorer animals, or go away emp- ty-handed. Twenty-five stock breeders and farmers of the Slope and members of the association brought consignments of animals to the sale. The wide- spread interest in the event was in- dicated by the fact that prospective purchasers came from all sections of the Missouri Slope, from South Da- kota and from eastern Montana. Roy Schnell of Dickinson officiated as auctioneer and C, V. Turner of * Glasgow, Montana, as sales manager. They expressed themselves as im- mensely pleased, with the outcome. “It was the snappies event of its kind in 1931,” Schnell said. The members of the association may decide to hold another sale this fall, Schnell stated. Farrell Attacks Steel Heads for Wage Cut (Continued from page one) fording only three-day-a-week em- ployment. “I am not going to give the names of all the companies represenied in this room that have cut wages, be- cause I don’t want to embarrass you, but I think it’s a pretty cheap sort of business.” Contrasts With Schwab Mr. Farrell's remarks were in mark- ed contrast to those ‘of Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel corporation and president of the institute, who presided and who said “we have had a stabilized wage rate since 1923.” He expressed the cpinion that the period of liquidation is “about over.” Ina normal year, he said, the ton- nage necessary to: supply mainten- ance, replacement and general needs is about 51,000,000 tons, and for the first half of 1931 the rate is approxi- mately 30,000,000 tons. “We have been rationing out steel ron @ starvation diet,” he “Before many months elapse nh ituation will be remedied. This conduct cannot subsist for long on a 30,000,000-ton basis.” Mr. Schwab and James A. , president of United States 1 corporation, discussed the unfa- ble price level prevailing. Mr. Farrell said most steel companies would not earn their preferred divi- dends if the situation continued. “We are wasting millions of tons of raw material and getting no re- turn,” he asserted. He thought the industry should “take the risk of closing down” rather than continue to waste materials. “We are no longer selling steel, but are accepting the prices the consum- e re willing to pay,” he said. “We have to set up resistance against this move on the part ofthe buyer to ruin our business. You can’t blame this price cutting on the salesmen, It is the big chiefs in the organization who are doing the cutting. You have to blame the ‘comrades’ and they are sitting here in the front row. It is not honest for us to sell our steel below cost and knock something from our dividend and reduce wages. Says Practice Must Stop “I don’t see any hope of better prices until the presidents of the companies stop the present diabolical situation. “Taking into account our capacity (67,000,000 tons) we ought to be thriv- ing on 50 per cent operation. * * * I think we are not doing a good job and unless we do a better job some- thing is going to happen.” Mr. Farrell referred to discussions on the “interference of the tariff walls” and added that “the stones for that wall have not even been quarried as yet.” Schwab told the institute there was reason to believe liquidation was about over. “There has been so much talk about the future that we have lost sight of the extent to which the deflation has gone,” he said, pointing to the long decline in commodity, security, whole- sale and retail prices. “There are many signs of stirring jn our economic life. The very fact that we have faced this situaticn and adjusted ourselves to it is a prelum- inary to the better times, to the fa- vorable upward reaction. We want to keep pulling for the shore. We must not lose headway by resting on our oars, but we can be cheered by the knowledge that the tide is coming in.” Lack of Fear Encouraging One of the most encouraging facts, he said, was that the country had met this depression “with much less fear, less distress and with much more or- ganized intelligente than in any pre- vious period of hard times.” “I am unable to predict that any | ing’ particular circumstances is going. to bring about the return to good busi- ness. In fact, I believe that specific | ° causes are often over-emphasized. After a period of undue deflation we are ready for normal business again, and that return is manifested in a number of ways, some of which catch the public attention and come to be considered as the major cause. “Possibly air transportation, per- haps electrification, possibly some unforeseen industry will be tae thing tained its wage scale although work- ing hours have been shortened, is erating at the rate of about 30,000,000 tons in the first half of, 1931, Mr. Schwab said. This is less than half of total capacity of 67,000,000 tons, “but a good deal more than 60 per cent of a normal operating basis.” Predictions Were Wrong “There may be some further slow- ing down during the been the case in former years, but we have been holding up better than many have predicted. “This figure of 30,000,000 tozs rep- resents a drastic liquidation cf pro- duction. There are no inventories. Any steel ordered today has to be rolled. The longer we continue to this 30,000,000-ton basis the sooner must we come to a catching up with unsupplied needs.” Maintenance requirements under normal conditions, Mr. Schwab point- ed out, are 51,000,000 tons of steel an- nually in this country, and the reason :for the present slump below this level is because practically all lines of busi- ness are over-liquidated. Stock market securities, in Mr. Schwab's opinion, have “by and large” been “much over-liquidated.” “I am aware that statements of this sort are often greeted the following day by @ movement in the downward direction. The activities of profes- sional traders cannot be predicted from day to day as many people in the United States now realize, but economic law has its way eventually. The securjty prices today are based an part on depleted dividends and earnings, but are further over-liqui- satan by an unreasoning fear of the Blames Fear of Cuts Fear of wage cuts is one of the cur- rent difficulties, and instability of prices is another, in Mr, Schwab's cpinion, Labor costs in the steel in- austry, he asserted, had been liquidat- ed “without taking it out of the wage, tate of the mill employe.” “Preservation of this wage rate, the protection of the worker's pay- 10ll, is a primary obligation of our business. All policies, of course, de- bend ultimately on the balance sheet. No man can guarantee the future of markets, wages, earnings or other fac- tors affecting income. But I do say that we have every intention of main- taining this stable wage rate which Las been so great an asset in our bus- iness. .... our men have stuck by Op | Critics,” of which Spencer was man- summer, as has! | us through thick and thin, and we are going to stick by them.” But losses through part-time em- Floyment in the steel industries Mr. Schwab said, have been offset at least Partially by a lower cost of living. “That I believe to be a very strong note of improvement in the general situation,” he added. Prices, Mr. Schwab said, cannot be jowered to the point where they do not cover a fair return to capital and labor above the cost of plant and ma- terials. “A great excess over that amount is destructive to trade, and a decline under that amount is even more harmful. We are emerging from the decline. In December we were play- jing the role of Santa Claus, but now we are getting back on a business basis. The comment of Schwab upon the remarks of Farrell was: “I really discover no difference be- tween my views and Mr. Farrell's, and T heartily endorse all he said.” 'U. S.

While no official word was per- mitted from the committee’ rooms, the general impression was that the committee was deadlocked on the di- vergent plans suggested by Russia and the United States. The postponement emphasizes the diversity of opinion regarding export quotas and how they shall be calcu- lated. Russia’s proposals were based on pre-war figures as a starting point in fixing the scale for new quotes. The American delegation opposes such a plan and the Russian insist- ence upon the pre-war basis is said to have found little support from the Argentine, Canadian and Australian delegations. M. W.

She told authorities she dismounted and went after the strayed horse tying her horse to a Post. George was said to have cntered the pasture and sought to take the horse tied to the post. His nephew then appeared and with a pocket knife severed the rope with which the horse was tied by his wife to the post. Argument Leads to Blows The two men engaged in an argu- ment and this led to blows. The knife which Fred used to cut the rope fig- ured in the ensuing scuffle and the nephew ultimately was stabbed near the heart. George received several bruises, none serious. The body was taken to the home of the wounded man and he died a few minutes afterward. A coroner's jury will not be held, Whipple said, as the cause of death had been establishéd by admissions made to authorities by the uncle. George was married and the father of one child. Fred is the father of three girls and two boys. GEORGE RUTSCHKE TO BE INTERRED SUNDAY Kulm, N.
