D, Demand Regulation of Trade Practices By Larger Firms, However Independent coal mine operators, meeting in Bismarck Monday, in- formed General Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator, that they could not exist under the na- tional recovery plan unless alleged discriminatory practices by the larger mines in the sale of coal are aban- doned. 2 The Independent Coal Operators’ association was made a permanent organization and is preparing a code for the small underground operators which will be sent to General John- son for his approval. The tentative code adopted provided for the fol- Jowing minimum scale of wages: Hand mining or solid shooting in entries, 80 cents per ton. Hand mining in rooms, 60 cents per ton. Machine cut coal in rooms, 40 cents per ton. Machine cut entry coal, 50 cents per ton. Outside labor, 30 cents per hour. Underground labor, 35 cents per hour. The scale, adopted after consider- able discussion, is admitted to be a minimum and it will be necessary to pay a higher scale in some parts of the state. On account of the differ- ing thicknesses of coal seams it was difficult to arrive at a uniform scale for every section of those present at the meeting said.

Spanish War Vets Meeting on Coast Los Angeles, Aug. 22.—(7)—The military orders of the Serpents and Lizards, born years before anyone thought of poking fun at 40 Men and Eight Horses in their relation to French boxcars, were called to meet 3n not-too-solemn council Tuesday as @ part of the Spanish American War ‘Veterans’ annual encampment here. As the Lizards installed their Gaff- ers and the Serpents paraded in the downtown district, the numerous com- ponent parts of the Veterans’ organ- ization—Regimental and Corps Area Associations and the Commanderies— held their own conclaves. Events of the day, however, were not without their more serious as- pects. The Veterans and Auxiliary ‘women attended the first general ses- Bion of the convention. Tariff Is Assailed By Foreign Brewers Washington, Aug. 22. — (P) — Im- porters of foreign brew Tuesday ap- pealed at a hearing before the tariff commission for a 50 per cent slash in the- tariff on beer that would bring the duty from $1 a gallon down to ualf that figure. Coupled with an assertion that the present tariff was “intolerable,” the This “Sup sea eae nA AL RMS THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1933 pressed” Picture Shows Why Cuba Revolted One of the grim reasons Cuba rose in revolt is shown in this newly regeived photo, taken before the downfall of the Machado regime, but suppressed by censorship. Mariato Yutierres, his tortured body dumped from a fruit truck, was one of the last victims of the dread Porra, Machado’s strong-arm squad whose ruthless tactics kindled the spark that flamed into revolution. Tronically, the legend on the back of the truck means, “Products of the Country.” \ commission heard pleas based also upon taste and sentiment. Harry 8S. Radcliffe, representing William Howitz Company of New York, put it this way: “To one who has tasted Pilsen beer in Bohemia, nothing else has the same appeal.” He also described the “sentimental experience” of drinking beer at Hei- delberg. Domestic brands, he added, might well be preferred by those who had not cultivated the “foreign tang.” He contended the two were not in competition, —_—___ Strange But True ‘ News Items of Day | (By The Associated Press) QUESTION OF PATERNITY Chicago— The question was what [the Cook county board should do about @ reported invasion of rattle- snakes into the forest preserve near Wheeling, but their origin bothered the commissioners most.

'22.—(P}—Immediate aid to depression-sticken Austria by lift- ing the restrictions against Austrian and England and probably by Italy, it was learned on high authority Tues- day. France proposes to remove or re- adjust her quotas on goods from Aus- tria pending consideration of a vast economic reorganization of Austria and Hungary and the little entente nations, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania. The French plan, officials said, con- templates prompt aid as essential to remedy Austria's grave situation and rit is believed here that Italy and Eng-} land take the same view. Meantime German threats are to be met by authorizing Austria to increase her armed forces by 8,000 men to the treaty figure of 30,000. These new men; ‘will be used as gendarmes to guard the frontiers against the activities of Ger- man Nazis. i Relations between Austria and Ger- many have been troubled recently be- cause the Austrian government head- ed by Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss has set itself resolutely against the Nazi movement within Austria.

It is specifically pro- vided that this pact applies only to the four participants and it is there- fore unnecéssary to call Chancellor Hitler of Germany into conference in} trying to save Austria. The parties to the four-power pact are Great Brit- ain, France, Italy, and Germany. Louisville, Chicago In Western Tourney Tokepa, Kans.

POSTAL DEPARTMENT MAY INVESTIGATE BOND COMPANY ACTS Secretary of Securities Com- mission Asks Postmaster General For Probe Investigation by the United States Postal authorities of the Bankers Un- ion Life Company of Denver, Colo., has been asked by James Mulloy, secretary of the North Dakota indus- trial commission, In a telegram to Postmaster Gen- eral James A. Farley, Mulloy states that the company was suspended ‘some two months ago for violation of the North Dakota securities act and it is now soliciting the surrender of their bonds from bond holders in this state by use of the mails. “The in- terpretation placed upon the sur- render value of their bonds is a resory to trickery,” he declared in the tele- gram. United States District Attorney P. W. Lanier has asked for data con- cerning the operations of the com- Pany, especially regarding its use of the mails. The company has sold approxi- mately $118,000 worth of five-year Payment, 12-year endowment bonds in the state, the annual payments on which are $150 per year. The bonds are without an insurance benefit. License to sell the bonds was granted to the company July 11, 1930. Nearly a year ago the securities commission discovered that the com- pany was endeavoring to secure sur- render of its bonds on terms that were not to the advantage of the bond holders. The bonds provide that after the second annual payment the surrender value is five shares of stock in the company valued at $50 per share and $63.60 in cash or $313.60. At the end of the third year period, according to the schedule on the bonds, the sur- render value is five shares of stock and $227.60 in cash. Would Pay Less ‘The company attempted to get the bond holders to surrender the bonds after the third payment for five Shares of stock and $63.60 in cash. The commission and the attorney general contend that the value should be $227.60 and upon the refusal of the company to abide by the decision it was suspended on May 15. Roy E. Houghton, salesman for the company who was attempting to se- cure the surrender of the bonds in this state, was arrested in South Da- kota and will be tried in Burleigh county at the next term of court for attempting to defraud the bondhold- ers. Since its suspefision here in May the company has had recourse to the mails and is telling bond holders they ‘voluntarily withdrew from the state, Mulloy said. The company is under fire in Colo- rado, Mulloy said, and a committee has been appointed to protect the interests of bordiholders in that state.
