D, LABOR LEADER SCORES “OUTSIDERS IN LATHER’S FIGHT Enters Quarrel on Side of State Workmen; Raps Visiting Organizer “SMACKS OF RACKETEERING’ Asserts Moore Would Exclude State Citizens to Give His Own Men Jobs ‘The question of who shall do the lathing on the new capitol building had new complications Wednesday. Disclosure that North Dakota labor leaders are at odds with George T. Moore, vice president of the interna- tional lathers union, and with a group of outside lathers who now control the work, was made by Roy Arntson, state labor commissioner and presi- dent of the state federation of labor. The matter was discussed at a meet- ing of the Bismarck Trades and La- bor ceuncil Monday night but no de- cision was reached. As outlined by Arntson, the ques- tion is whether outside workmen, by reason of the fact that they control the lather’s union, will dominate the work to the disadvantage of North Dakota men. The job now has been unionized at 8 wage of $1 an hour with the secre- tary of the Billings, Mont., lather’s union acting as steward on the job. This means he represents union in- terests in dealing with the contractor. Four North Dakota men have been given permits to work and were em- Wednesday but Arntson is fearful that they will be later re- moved from the job in order to make room for the outsiders who, he says, have Moore’s backing. Paying Union Fees North Dakotans are paying §2 lay to the union arid will continue to do so until they get their initiation fee paid up or are ordered off the work. Arntson said the outsiders contend that North Dakotans are not suffic- fently skilled to meet the union re- quirements. He fears they will be ruled out on that ground, pointing out that it would be easy for the outsiders to so arrange the work that the na- tive workmen would have difficulty in making good. At the same time Arntson disclosed that Moore, representing the inter- national union, had refused to assist in organizing a North Dakota local union which would clarify the status of the state lathers. Instead, Arnt- son charged, he is trying to get all the work for the men from Billings by use of union influence. Arntson said the whole business “smacks of racketeering” and is unfair to North Dakotans. He further charged that the men who ostensibly are from Bil- lings are not originally from that place but are largely from the east, having merely transferred to Billings. Hurts Labor Movement Arntson was particularly bitter be- cause of the possible effect of the dis- pute on organized labor in North Da- kota. This job offered splendid op- portunity to expand organized labor in the state, he said, by the organiza- tion of a new. union,. but the oppor- tunity was rejected in order to favor outside workmen over’ citizens of North Dakota. In effect, he said, Moore is preventing the advancement. of union interests in this state for the benefit of outsiders, : The “outsiders” were said Wednes- day to be Bitter against the provision in the capitol:buildmg law which re- quires preference for North Dakota labor and fearful of its possible ap- Plication.

AGNES MURPHY BEATS NADINE O’LEARY IN STATE GOLF TOURNEY Playing Brilliant Game James- town Girl Establishes New Course Record Minot, N. D., July 26.—(?)—Playing what veterans declare was the most brilliant golf ever displayed in North Dakota womens tournament, Miss Agnes Murphy of Jamestown, Wed- nesday morning eliminated Nadine O'Leary, Bismarck, thrice state champion, 2 up in 18 holes in the’ semi-finals of the championship flight. Playing a 44 and 42, Miss Mur- phy established a women’s course rec- ord for 18 holes on the Minot country club course. Incidentally, Miss O'- Leary, away to a bad start on the first nine, staged a comeback that thrilled @ large gallery. Four down at the turn, the girl who relinquishes the title shot a 40 on the last nine. It was the last nine which was the most interesting, in that both young women played championship golf on the way home. The 10th hole was halved with sevens. Miss O'Leary took the 11th with a four to Miss Murphy’s five. On the 12th, Miss O'Leary made the green in two and one-putted for a woman's eagle while Miss Murphy scored a birdie. The 13th hole was halved with fours while Miss O'Leary took the 14th with a four to the Jamestown girl's five. ‘The 15th was halyed with fives and the match was even on the 16th when Miss O'Leary scored a three to Miss Murphy’s four. It was on the 17th that the James- town lass staged # comeback which gave her the match. Her drive fad- ed in to the rough while the de- fending champion sent a ball straight down the fairway, both about 200 yards. Miss Murphy recovered and her third shot left her on the green which she one-putted for an eagle four while Miss O'Leary went down in five. On the final hole they were down the dog leg in fine shape. Miss O'Leary was short on her approach while the Jamestown girl made & wonderful shot to the green, going down in four to Miss O'Leary's five. As a result of her victory, Miss Murphy will meet.

Ray and Tioga Will Get Artificial Lakes Williston, N.

W. Rob- erts, federal meteorologist here, SCRIP WILL NOT BE ISSUED TO STATE EMPLOYEES FOR JULY Certificates and Stamps Will Be Available Soon For All Subdivisions Employes of the state of North Da- kota will not have to accept scrip for their July salaries, according to State Auditor Berta E. Baker. The condition of the general fund is such that the state will not be lcompelled to resort to the issuance of the so-called self-liquidating tax cer- tificates and revenue stamps for the present. Whether it will be necessary in the future depends on the tax col- lections, Mrs. Baker said. At present there is no immediate prospect that the employes will be asked to accept 15 per cent of their salaries in scrip as is now provided by law. ‘The certificates and revenue stamps are being ordered, however, and will be available if needed. Counties, cities and school districts may avail themselves of the privilege of issuing the certificates and stamps. Counties ‘and townships may give the scrip in payment for poor relief, though the amount of certificates Jssued shall not exceed the total amount of unpaid taxes and special assessments delin- quent in the various counties and taxing subdivisions, less the amount of other outstanding warrants and certificates of indebtedness issued inst delinquent taxes. | The certificates and stamps may be obtained from the state treasurer, North Dakota. They will be sold at par or face value to any merchant, person or corporation desiring to pur- chase them. ‘The certificates will be issued in de- {nominations of one dollar and five dollars and the stamps to be placed jon them will be for two cents and 10 jeents respectively. The certificates will be payable on demand when they contain stamps on the back equal in value to the face of the scrip. In other words there must be one dollar in stamps on the back of the one dol- lar certificate and five dollars in stamps on the back of the five dollar ceftificates. The law makes it unlawful for any person, corporation or association to discount the certificates and provides that if such certificates are accepted in exchange for goods or services or in payment of indebtedness of any na- ture they must be accepted at their face value. Any person violating any of the provisions of the act shall be guilty of @ felony and upon conviction shall be sentenced to the penitentiary for one year, and any person counterfeit- ing the certificates or stamps is guilty of a felony and if convicted shall be sentenced to the penitentiary for not Jess than five years. county treasurers or the Bank of|/ Will Help in Administration of Federal Wheat Plan in Burleigh TOWNSHIPS REPRESENTED Are Called to Meeting Here Fri- day Night With County Committee Forty-seven Burleigh county farm- ers have been named to assist the general county committee in admin- istration of the federal wheat allot- ment plan, according to H.

Murphy of Wheaton, named Tuesday by President Roosevelt as one of 10 regional advisors to the public works administration, long has been a Prominent figure in state and na- tional agricultural circles. Murphy first came into national Prominence in 1919 when he was made chairman of the resolutions committee of the National Farm Bu- reau federation at its organization meeting in Chicago that year. The following year he began his fight for farm relief along the lines of the McNary-Haugen bill and has carried on a personal campaign for this legislation ever since. While Murphy has been for 30 years @ leading figyre in Minnesota agri- culture, he never has held any public Office. In 1920 he was forva time considered a candidate for an agri- cultural post in the Harding cabinet, and more recently was mentioned as ® possible selection as secretary of agriculture in the Roosevelt cabinet. At present Murphy is chairman of the committee in charge of the Min- nesota exhibit at the Chicago Cen- tury of Progress exposition. NORTH DAKOTANS GET PUBLIC WORKS POSTS Fargo, N.

PRICE FIVE CENTS ALSO IS OPPOSED | 10 FIRING BUTLER FROM STATE BANK Opposes Gronna and Husby in Efforts to Revamp Indus- trial Enterprises DECLARES MOTIONS LOST. Warehouse Situation At Grand Forks Unsatisfactory Say ‘Minority’ Proposals to make three changes in the conduct of the state mill and ele- vator and one at the Bank of North Dakota were vetoed by Governor William Langer at a meeting of the rated industial commission Wednes- ay. In vetoing the four motions he overrode the opinions of A. J. Grone na, Jr. attorney general, and John Husby, commissioner of argiculture and labor and his fellow members of the board. The veto power was given the gov- ernor last winter by the legislature, which changed an initiated law, enacted in 1919, in order to do so. First on the list of motions vetoed was one by Gronna, seconded by Husby, to discharge O. L. Spencer as manager of the state mill and eleva- tor, along with H. A. Bronson as at~- torney for the mill and A. J. Scott, filling a newly-created position. The governor voted against the motion and declared it lost. The second motion was one by Husby, seconded by Gronna, to “ac- cept the resignation” of P. H. Butler as assistant manager of the Bank of North Dakota. Butler hasn’t offered his resignation and the effect of the motion would be to demand it. Gov- ernor Langer voted “no” and declared the motion lost by reason of his veto. Accepts No Dummies The federal government has served notice on the state that the man des- ignated to manage the elevator at Grand Forks must really do so if the institution is to retain a federal warehouse license. In view of this fact, Gronna moved that the two businesses be segregated for the pure [pose of finance and accounting. The governor's veto killed the proposal. Gronna then moved to re-enact @ resolution of last April to continue the elevator as a federal warehouse and this was vetoed. Husby said that Spencer, the mifl manager, now is handling the funds of the elevator and writing the checks, ‘whereas C. L. Bell, elevator manager, is under bond to have charge of that angle of the business. The intention, in the case of each motion vetoed by the governor, Husby said, was to change control of the elevator’s fiscal affairs from Spencer to Bell. He indicated that, as a result of the governor's veto of the proposal to conform to federal warehouse regula- tions, the Grand Forks elevator soon may be without a federal license. Husby voted with Governor Langer on one proposal, that the Bank of North Dakota loan $100,000 to the state highway department for 90 days. The money will be used to finance work until funds alloted by the fed- eral government actually are received. Gronna voted against the motion, made by Governor Langer. It was the only one of the five offered which ‘was declared carried. SEVEN MEN DIE AS ARMY PLANE FALLS Wing Breaks From Amphibian Craft While Flying Over California City Oceanside, Calif.
