V. A. Republicans, meeting in state convention at Devils Lake Wednesday, have an opportunity to render a signal service to the state in which they have ao long been an important political factor. The idea behind the convention is a desire on the part of the conservative Republicans of the state to maintain their identity and keep their ideals before the public despite the current political up- heaval. This is both natural and praiseworthy, for the conservatives of every political faith are entitled to a vehicle through which they may express their sentiments. If we are to have sound and con- structive government, it is necessary that policies be tried in the crucible of opposing fires and this situation can be had only when rival forces are present to debate them. It 1s axiomatic that all which may be labeled progressive is not sound. Some things offered under the progressive label may not even be progressive. The. real question before the gathering at Devils Lake, there- fore, will be how to preserve the IVA organization and, at the same time, render a service to the state. That either the state or the political faction can benefit by the nomination of a state ticket, either complete or curtailed, seems doubtful. Opposition to the nomination of state candidates, ex- Pressed at the county convention here and by powerful forces else- where in North Dakota, should be conclusive warning on that point. ‘Unless all available indications are awry, the endorsement of a third slate of Republican candidates would only complicate a situa- tion which already is sufficiently perplexing to the average voter. In these times issues should be sharp and well defined and this end could not be served by endorsement of additional candidates. There remains, however, an important field in which Independ- ent Republicans could be of real service without, at the same time, clouding the issues already presented to the electorate. It can take advantage of this opportunity by making sure that candidates for the legislature are advanced in every North Dakota district who will stand for the principles to which the IVA long has adhered. The limitations which political circumstance has placed upon the endorsement of state candidates do not apply to the en- dorsement of candidates for posts in the house and senate and these, after all, are of primary importance, It is the legislature which spends the taxpayers’ money and which fixes the policies which shall govern the operation of the state government. It is the legislature which is really the deciding factor in determining state issues. Elective state officials are, after all, only the means by which legislative mandates are carried out. There are in North Dakota some districts in which no candidates for the legislature have been presented who meet the IVA idea. ‘There are others in which the issues are not clear. Because of this fact the Devils Lake convention can render a service by making sure that it has candidates for the legislature in every district, by seeing to it that voters who support the tenets of their faith have opportunity to express themselves in an effective way. By so doing, they will win the plaudits even of some who are Opposed to thei. “At the-wame ttine they will be able to maintain their status as a faction of the Republican party, keep their organi- zation alive so that it may be in position to take advantage of future Political developments.

Calls were issued Sunday for strikes at the Fisher body factory at Clev-- land, where 7,000 men are employed, and at the Chevrolet motor and Fisher body plants at St. Louis, in- volving 3,100 workers. A hopeful note appeared in the bi- tuminous coal industry with Prest- dent Roosevelt and Hugh 8. Johnson, NRA chief, striving to end labor trou- bles. The president asked striking miners, numbering nearly 50,000, to return to work under a new wage structure announced by Johnson. Both sides in the rail wage con- troversy fired new statements before the public. each blaming the other for the discord. President Roosevelt has suggested that the 10 per cent deduc*ion from basic wages be ex- tended six months longer. The pres- ent agreement expires June 30. In the automobile industry, strikes already were in effect at tool and parts factories at Detroit and Toledo. Favors Permanent Court Forced to personally take over con- ciliation of the railroad labor squab- ble, President Roosevelt let it be known he feels the time has come tor the establishment of a permanent court to settle labor disputes. Acting in advance of most capital expectations, he was disclosed to have @ committee already quietly at work on revision of the Wagner labor board bill. Changes are being made in the setup of the proposed permanent la- bor board. Members of the commit- tee said its powers are being strength- ened, rather than weakened. Attention also is being directed to the “unfair labor practices,” as out- lined in the Wagner measure. These drew most of the criticism aimed at the measure in recent senate hearings. ‘Those appointed by the chief execu- tive to whip the measure into shape acceptable both to the White House and congress include Secretary Per- kins, Hugh 8. Johnson, Relief Ad- ministrator Harry Hopkins, Donald Richberg, NRA counsel, and Senator bia (Dem., N. Y.), author of the Group Works Secretly The group has been working secret- ly on the bill since last Friday when @ White House conference was held on the legislation. The issue was brought to a head by the retirement of Joseph B. Eastman, rail juator, as special umpire in the railroad wage argument. Railway managers and labor lead- ers each accuse the others for fail- ure to reach a decision. Both have placed their cases before the bar of public opinion. Eastman stepped aside definitely when the labor heads refused to ac- cept the president’s proposal for a six months’ extension beyond July 1 of the existing 10-per-cent deduction agreement. 6 The board of mediation of the rail- To Clear Its Decks 5 23.—()—Con- Gress, in a rush of work, began put- ting on its grand finale Monday. rouble Motoring Industry Blind Girl Sees ‘The eye specialists who 16 years ago decided that Gertrudy Museir would be permanently blind as a result of infantile paralysis ap- Darently were a bit short-sighted themselves.

Members of the organization heard the report of Kent Cooper, general manager, outlining the year's endeav- ors, voted on five members of the board of directors, and prepared to hear Cordell Hull, secretary of state, the principal speaker at the annual luncheon. Frank B. Noyes, president, who Presided at the luncheon, and who gave the annual toast to the presi- dent of the United States, also spoke briefly on the freedom of the press. “We believe,” said Noyes’ prepared address, “not only that the constitu- tional right of the free press should be scrupulously guarded, but, beyond scrupulously guarded that it shall not fall into the hands of special inter- ests, whether capitalistic or Commun- istic, but shall remain unbiased. That is our trusteeship, and, God permit- ting, we will honor it.” “In his toast to President Roosevelt, Noyes recalled a phrase from a presi- dential nominating speech which tuck in his memory, and added: Praises ‘Gallant Front’ “The speaker characterized his can- &@ ‘happy warrior,’ and to I can invent no more apt that at one time a staff of 10 or 12 men covered Such a staff, however, he said, could not tell member newspapers through- out the entire country what was go- ing on in their respective state del- egations, “Accordingly, at the national con- Merpraealy eee ee oe management there were 65 men and women to the Job.
