MOODIE ASKS FOR HIGHER WPA WAGE, LESS LABOR HOURS New Rates Expected to Become Effective in North Dakota on Nov. 1 Higher wages and fewer hours of labor per week were recommended to Washington Friday for all. North Da- kota WPA _ unskilled workmen by Thomas H. Moodie, state works prog- ress administrator. In the: adjustments of wages and hours of labor, Moodie recommended a $35 per month wage for all unskilled workmen, instead of the present rate of $32 per-month, and at the same time recommended a six-hour day and a five-day week for this type of labor. At present, regulations call for a seven-hour day and five-day week. Other types of labor will not be af- fected by the recommendation, Moodie said. Become Effective Nov. 1 MAN Moodie.declared he expected the new wage and hour rates would become effective by Nov. 1. The days set for labor are Monday, Tuesday, Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday of each week. Although awaiting final ap- proval from Washington, orders on the new schedule went to each coun- ties are affected by the recommendation.

DAKOTA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1935 BISMARCK HUNTERS READY FOR SEASON - OPENING SATURDAY Sportsmen Form Groups to Drive Birds From Conceal- ment in Dense Cover PHEASANTS ARE PLENTIFUL Majority of Capital City Men Will Head for South Cen- tral Counties An October haze hangs over the valleys and Bismarck sportsmen with guns plugged to conform to the fed- eral government's three-shell regula- tion are anxiously awaiting the open- ing of the upland game bird season Saturday noon. Sportsmen generally are convinced that the only way to hunt the upland birds this year is to band together in parties in order to drive the birds from the excellent cover afforded by the heavy growth of weeds and un- derbrush, As a result, hunting parties of six or more men were being formed in the Capital City Friday. Birds are considered plentiful this year but very difficult to find. Pheas- ants are more bountiful than the ated or sharp tailed grouse (prairie chickens), according to the general concensus of sportsmen’s opihion. Hard to Find Even the pheasants will be hard to get this year as they hide as long as there is cover and take to the wing only when they have been chased into the open. ‘ The largest number of Burleigh county hunters will head for Em- mons, Logan, McIntosh, LaMoure and Dickey counties. where by ‘the governor’s proclamation, five pheas- ants may be taken in one day’s bag ‘mit. |_ In Burleigh, Stutsman, Wells, Eddy, Sheridan and McLean counties, only three pheasants, one grouse and one partridge are included in the bag limit while in the counties west of the Missouri river in the southern half of the state, two grouse, two pheas- ants and one partridge may be shot. 262 Licenses Sold A check of the county auditor's office and business concerns that are selling the licenses revealed Friday that 262 Hcenses have been issued to date. Many hunters have put off buying their licenses until the last minute and their applications are expected to swell the total over 500 before Sun- day. Only six federal duck stamps have been sold, according to post office officials. The water fowl season does not open until Oct. 21.

The full sanctions committee of the assembly of the League of Nations, compromising the membership represented in Geneva minus Italy, Friday adopted the recommendation of a sub-committee that the general arms embargo be placed against Italy and that present embargoes against Ethiopia be lifted. League officials said the next probable step by the com- mittee would be to recommend an embargo on the exportation to Italy of “key products” which are required for the manufac- ture of armaments. It also decided to appoint a special committee to examine the prospects for a financial boycott against Italy. This body will inquire into the possible placing of an em- bargo on all loans and credits made by foreign nations to Italy. The resolution passed by the big committee contains one paragraph designed to block any effort by Mussolini to get war supplies through neighboring anti-sanction states such as Austria. : This paragraph states that the members of the league will “take such steps as may be necessary” to prevent re-export “directly or indirectly” of arms to Italy or its possessions.

His announcement came after a high Ethiopian official declared the envoy must leave of his own volition by 11 a. m., Saturday, or be put out by force. The emperor informed the League of Nations Friday that Ethiopia would never capitulate to Italy’s armed forces—a declaration intended to end rumors that Ethiopia might make peace. The king of kings insisted that he would not put a premium on aggres- ; Sion by agreeing to a peaceful settle- ment of the conflict on the basis that Premier Mussolini retain Ethiopian territory occupied by his troops. To Continue War Diplomats regarded the note as evi- dence of a determination by the em- peror to continue war rather than ac- cept humiliating terms involving loss of valuable territory. The emperor also announced his ratification of the Geneva protocol of “Livestock standards have been ad- |trial. LANIER ANNOUNCES POSTPONEMENT OF TRIAL 10 OCT. 28 Inability. of Judge Wyman to Reach Here Until That ° Date Is Reason Fargo, N. D., Oct. 11—(#)—Trial of former Gov. William Langer and three co-defendants in federal dis- trict court at Bismarck on charges of conspiring to corrupt administration of an act of congress, probably will not get underway until Oct. 28, P. W. Lanier, United States district attor- ney, said Friday. Originally, the trial had been sched- uled for Oct. 22, but Federal Judge A. Lee Wyman of Sioux Falls, 8. D., who will act as trial judge, will be unable to reach Bismarck until the date, Lanier said. * Judge Wyman will replace Judge Andrew Miller, who presided over the first trial of Langer. An affidavit of prejudice was filed against Judge Miller by the defendants, following which Judge*Wyman was assigned. In addition to Langer, Frank Vogel, former state highway cot missioner, R. A. Kinzer, former secre- tary of the relief organization during Langer’s term as governor, will be re-tried, while Oscar E. Erickson, state senator, and chairman of the state Republican central committee, will be tried for the first time. Erick- son was not tried previously because of illness. x Langer, Vogel and Kinzer were con- victed June 17, 1934, appealed the judgment to the federal circuit court of appeals, which ordered the new The court term, however, will op- len Oct, 22, but “about a week's work in other matters will be disposed of” during the interval between the op- ening date and the new time of trial, ‘Lanier explained. Zap Miner Is Victim Of Mystery Shooting Funeral services were held at Zap who was killed [Greater Flexibility Is Feature of Contracts Being Explain- ed in County Greater flexibility and added bene- fits for the farmers have been point- ed out by County Agent Henry O. Putnam as features of the new AAA wheat production control contracts for 1936 being explained at a series of 11 district meetings in Burleigh county. The new contracts are for four years instead of three, reducing the cost of signing up and administration and enabling the farmers to plan operations over a longer period. Provision is made for the voluntary withdrawal from the contract at the end of two years, if the farmer has lived up to the compliance agree- ments. Full Parity Return Producers under the new contracts will have additional assurance of a full parity return on the allotment, through the flexible-payment princi- ple. Two payments will be made each year, the last one fixed at such an amount as will tend to give the producer parity according to what the price of wheat has been during the marketing year. Reductions as high as 25 per cent re provided for in the contract, de- pending upon the national and world wheat situation. Twenty-five per cent is the extreme limit, however, the most called for. under the 1933-35 contracts being 15 per cent in 1934. A feature of the new contract is that producers agree to hold their ereage within the base figure, even if no reduction is asked. Base years for the new contracts are the same as those for the present contracts. U1 der certain conditions, four and five- year base periods may be used, to meet special crop-rotation and sum- mer-fallow practices. ity Defined All wheat producers who can es- tablish a base production and acreage ‘and in some cases farmers who did not grow wheat in all the base years are eligible for the new contracts.

DEADLOCK TIGHTENS IN MILK STRIKE AS COMPROMISE FAILS Two Opponents to Strikers Re- fuse to Deal When Truce Is Suggested Chicago, Oct. 11—(?)—Rejection of @ compromise offer saw the milk strike resoWe itself into a further tightening deadl Friday. Members of the United Farmers of Illinois, the striking group which seeks a higher price for milk, Thurs- day made its first move toward com- promise. They offered a 30-day truce for study and arbitration during which they would be paid a flat rate of $1.75 a hundred pounds for all milk shipped. The Associated Milk Dealers, Inc., and the Pure Milk association, which oppose the strike, declined to deal with the strikers, although the PMA agreed to withdraw its “flying squad- rons” of armed members who at- tempted to convoy milk trucks through the picket lines. PMA officials said they the strike had been broken. After several clashes Thursday night between pickets and “flying squadrons” of PMA, Superintendent of State Police Larry M. Taylor or- dered the “flying squadrons” to with- draw from the strike front, assert- ing that milk shipments would be amply protected by his forces and the squadron’s offices of five northern Mlinois counties. MARKETS CLOSE SATURDAY New York, Oct. 11.—(4#)—All domes- tic financial and commodity markets will be closed Saturday, Oct. 12, in ob- ” believed From other sources, however, Aduwa was reported quiet, and General De Bona was on the way to the city from his Asmara, Eritrea, base to officiate at ceremonies in tribute to the 15,000 Italians slaughtered there in 1896. Report Light Casualties | An official announcement at Rome | tended to bear out the reports of quiet on the northern sector. Light Italian casualties had occurred, said the communique, and many Ethiopian chiefs had surrendered during the advance. There has been no confirmation of the capture of the Holy City of Ak- sum by the Italians. At Geneva the sanctions committee of the League of Nations, intent on framing the penalties to be imposed on Italy for starting an “unprovoked” war, met a rebuff in the announce- ment of Albania that it could not join in the concerted action to pen- alize Italy. Austria and Hungary al- ready had served notice they did not favo- sanctios Ke Nevertheless, under the whip of the British delegation, which fought the sanctions problem through the league council and the general assembly of league members, the sanctions com- mittee drove ahead in the hope of announcing the first series of sanc- tions—probably a simple boycott—by Saturday. Name Sanctions Committee The sanctions committee elected Augusto Vasconcellos.of Portugal as its president, and @ sub-committee of 16 was appointed to consider “im- mediate” measures. While the initial sanctions were ex- pected to be mild, diplomats were al- most confident harsher measures eventually would follow if Rome’s stiff attitude remained unchanged. Rome newspapers bitterly attacked Great Britain for applying “radio sanctions” against Italy Thursday night in re- fusing to permit Baron Pompeo Aloisi, head of the Italian delegation to broadcast a statement of Italy’s case to America through a British radio station. League law would permit even war on an offending member if (Continued on Page Two) 1925, prohibiting use of poison gas and bacteria in warfare. A dozen legation officials are leav- ing Saturday. Ethiopian sources said the emperor probably would insist that all Italian missionaries and sisters also evacuate. The absence of information con- cerning actual fighting was attributed partly to the fact that the Italians appeared to have ceased active hos- tilities in the north and were engaged. in consolidating positions already won. Two Armies Approaching The capital awaited the arrival of two provincial armies from the west. One force of 50,000, led by Ras Guetatchou Abata, governor of Kaff province, and another of 30,000 under Dedjazmatch Apte Marian, governor of Wallega, hastened to the defense of the city. Ras Imru, governor of Gojjam, arrived by plane from the inorth, Italy’s advance out of Somaliland into Ogaden province was described as @ fight for water, rather than terri- tory, with the Ethiopians retreating from one well to another. The Italians supply their parched troops with water in the sandy wastes there by bringing up hundreds of gallons nightly in specially built con tainers carried on trucks and large enough to give every man an adequate water ration for the next 2¢ hours. Food is distributed similarly.
