Earlier 48.feet of wooden bridge trestle east of Gilberts, Ill., had been drenched with gasoline and set afire. ‘The structure was destroyed. A third attempt failed when deputy sheriffs extinguished a fire which had been set to a wooden railroad trestle near Belvidere, Ill, just south of the Wisconsin state . The three acts of violence followed within a few hours of Governor Hor- her's announcement that the repre- sentatives of the striking farmers and of the milk dealers had tentatively agreed to the terms of a 30-day truce. Throughout the strike area es~ day the United Farmers ‘organigat was calling county meetings’ to con- lider the proposal.

In- Britain Ma BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1935 xk *& xk kk $40,000 Warehouse] ‘ACUTE SUFFERING TRAINS POR CHICAGO es rie seacres on ain Avenue That Have History Dating to '70s Excavation of a basement for the new $40,000 addition to the Nash- Finch warehouse was started here Tuesday. Razing of the two buildings which formerly occupied the site of the new structure between Second and Third Sts., on Main Ave., and have a history dating back to the "70's was virtually completed Monday and the digging of the basement begun. The structure when completed will have a 45 foot frontage on Main Ave., and will extend 110 feet back from the sidewalk. The building will be modern in every respect and of fireproof construction. Piain Brick Exterior Steel and concrete will be used in the framework and foundation, and the exterior will be of brick. It will be a one-story building with a full basement, providing. about 10,000 square feet of floor space. A. J. Weinberger, Capital City builder, has the general construction contract, which calls for the building to be completed and ready for occu- pancy some time late in December. A portion of the ground floor, front- ing on Main Ave., will be used for office space. ‘The rest of the build- ing, including $he basement, is to be used as a wafehouse. Parts of the east wall of the present Nash-Finch building will be torn out so that when the new structure is completed the two buildings will be connected. A drive-way for the loading platforms will extend along the east side. Need More Room “New, all modern equipment will be installed to include an entire new set of offices,” orks C.

It employs between 35 and 40 people at all seasons of the year. William H. Schermer ‘is manager of the Bismarck branch. The building which was torn down was among the oldest in Bismarck. In 1877, according to W. A. Fal- coner, pioneer resident, Col. Clement A. Lounsberry, founder of the Bis- marck Tribune, constructed two build- ings facing riorth on Main Ave., just west of the site. One housed The Tribune and the other the postoffice. These buildings subsequently burned and in 1885 Lounsberry leased from Harry F. Douglas, now of Minneapolis, the land on which the newly-razed structure was erected. On this land he built a brick veneer building, the ground floor becoming a new nome for The Tribune and the upper floor being used fore hall in which various organizations held their meetings. SEEK MORE BODIES — IN RUINS OF PLANT Believe at Least 6 More Died in Explosion; 6' Known Dead, 40 Hyrt Chicago, Oct. 8—(#)—Fresh rescue crews replaced those which had la- bored ‘all night and pushed efforts Tuesday to find the bodies of possibly six.more victigs of one of the worst industrial ex, in Chicago's history.

Two ON INDUSTRIAL UNION ISSUE IN CONVENTION Recovery With Fewer Strikes Than Hitherto Forecast by Secretary Perkins Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 8—(P)—A bitter fight at the American Federa- tion of Labor convention on the in- dustrial union issue was assured Tuesday with introduction of 11 res- olutions calling on the federation to keep craft unions out of the mass production industrfes. Five unions proposed labor party resolutions. Others called for freeing Tom Mooney, removal of the supreme court’s power to declare legislation unconstitutional, government owner- ship and operation of banks, a con- demnation of Fascism, a ban on the use of federal firearms by state militia in labor disputes, support of Soviet Russia’s peace policy and a ban on general strikes. Craft unionists answered the in- dustrial union resolutions with one of their own—calling upon the federa- tion to revoke the charter of the Oil Workers unless they gave up the boilermakers in the oil industry to the Boilermakers’ union, Industrial recovery accompanied by far fewer strikes than have at- tended returning prosperity in years gone by was predicted by Secretary Perkins of the labor department. Enactment of the Wagner labor disputes act and the creation of the various -government laber. boards, Miss Perkins "told the convention, mean not merely that strikes will be fewer “but that the fundamental causes of such disorders may be in- telligently diagnosed and remedies quickly provided.” “These agencies will gather author- ity as the years go on and as the spirit of co-operation between em- ployers and employes continues grow, as they become increasingly aware that it is in their interest and the interest of the public as well; we will find the good offices of these boards sought more and more as a voluntary substitute for long and costly strikes and lockouts,” she said.

There was doubt that even the close inspection of the United States de- partment of. commerce would throw clear light upon the. worst of. the ac- cidents, the fall of a United Airlines passenger ship near here that killed 12. The otter fatal accident at Lords- burg, N. M., brought flaming death to Lieut. Col. J. E. Davis of San Diego, marine air force commander, and fatal burns to his mechanic, Ser- geant Q. M. Owens, also of San Owens, who leaped from the plane a living torch, just before it smashed into a railroad embankment after taking off at the local field, died several hours later in a hospital.

Usher L. Burdick, North Da- kota Republican, that “actual starva- tion exists” on the Standing Rock In- dian reservation. Burdick appealed for federal aid Monday in telegrams to Collier, President Roosevelt and Harry L. Hopkins, relief director. - Without Information Collier said he had received Bur- dick’s appeal, but the Indian bureau had no information that such condi- tions prevailed there. “There is no doubt that there will be distress in that region, and in other states, however, unless some federal funds are forthcoming,” he said. “Mr, Burdick worked with us at the last session of congress in an unsuccessful effort to get a deficiency appropriation for relief for all In- dians, and he appears to be antici- pating what may come.” ‘i Collier said there could be no starvation at Standing Rock inas- much’ as four carloads” o0f~ canned meat, aS wall as a shipment of cloth- ing, had been sent there during the last month, Hoped to Get Work Funds Collier said the Indian bueau had hoped to rezeive a substantial amount from the- $4,880,000,000 work relief fund, but thus far had been unsuc- ‘cessful, “I don’t know where we will get it,” he;said, “but we have no doubt the money will be forthcoming. We have to have it. We still have tnemploy- ment among Indians and the old and infirm to care for.” If no governmental source can be found, Collier said, congress would have to rush through a deficiency ap- propriation as soon as it convenes in January, Three Men Held for Seattle Girl’s Death Seattle, Oct. 8—(#)—Three men were held for questioning by police and two others were sought Tuesday as officers hunted the brutal killer of ‘T-year-old Sally Jean Kelley. One of the men in the city jail was @ Negro janitor from an apartment house near where the girl's body was found hanged to a door handle with & man’s handkerchief. Detective Captain Ernest Yoris, convinced the girl was killed by a de- generate after she had been crimin- ally assaulted, ordered officers to roundup for questioning men with de- generacy records.

With Theodore Al- leckson, truck driver, she entered the Office after knocks at the door brought no response and found Poling in the vault. A bullet wound in the right temple from his service revolver caused death. City commissioners said they were at a loss to see any reason for suicide. The body was found about 8p. m.

R. Atkinson and the board of county commissioners in the hope of preventing destruction of the tree. The petition asserts the tree is lo- cated on the right-of-way of a road which has been constructed south from the city baseball park for a dis- tance of two miles arfd one mile west. On the section extending west is the tree, planted 54 years ago by the father of Chris Huber, who now owns the adjoining property. When still @ sapling it was used to support one corner of a cowshed. The petition asserts the tree is ‘a thing of beauty and a landmark which should be pre- served, Is Not Main Highway Pointing out that the road is not @ main highway and serves only seven families, only four of which live be- tween the tree and the end of the road, the petition asks that it be per- mitted to remain. It is further sug- gested .that luminous “slow” signs be placed 300 feet east and 300 feet west of thetreeandthat immediately in front of it further signs be placed advising the motorist to “keep to the right.” It also would be advisable, the petition sets forth, to place an iron or concrete guard around the tree to protect it from damage. The opinion is expressed that this would not only preserve the tree but the road “perfectly. safe - for travel.” . The garden club made an Issue of the matter when it was informed At- kinson had notified Huber to cut the tree down and that, if he failed to do so, he would have the work done by county employes. , Huber Must Cooperate Atkinson said he is willing to co- operate in saving the tree but that Huber would have to co-operate by moving his fence back so that the road could be routed around it. The proposal to leave the tree standing in the middle of the road with one roadway to the right and the other to the left won no support from him. He said he could not agree with that idea. Atkinson said the matter has been under consideration for some time and that he had been ordered by the county commissioners to cut the tree down if the right of way could not be adjusted. The letter which Huber mentioned, he said, was a copy of one which he had written to R. M. Stee, chief en- gineer in the FERA headquarters here and sets forth the official county position on the matter.
