ig 1 " q TROOPS MOBILIZED “4,500 Union Men Leave Jobs Animal Stars at Elks Circus AS GENERAL STRIKE THREATENS PEKIN in Protest Over Distillery Situation Pekin, IL, Feb. 4.—(#)—Illinois Na- tional Guard troops were ordered to be in readiness to move on this city ‘Tuesday as @ general strike, called by. the trades and labor assembly, took more than 1,500 union men from their jobs Tuesday morning. The strike was labor’s at- tempt to force a strike settlement at the American Distilling company, where for more than a week pickets have prevented workers from carry- ing on their labors. ‘The general strike threatened to stop all commercial and industrial ac- tivity by union workers and crafts- men in this city of 17,000. It would affect some 3,000 union members, in- cluding motion picture operators, bar- bers, truck drivers, bartenders, car- Ppenters and others. Vital services, aside from the de- livery of fuel, were not affected by the strike call. Utility employes, street car men and bus drivers are not organized. But with the drivers of coal and oil companies on strike, indications were that a fuel shortage possibly might ensue in the face of a zero weather forecast for Wednesday. Although Adjutant Carlos E. Black said in Springfield no National Guard troops had. been ordered into Pekin, he announced preparations were being made for such action in “event of trouble.” The distillery has been shut down since Jan. 24. There were frequent clashes on streets leading to the plant Monday. No one was injured. Reopening of the plant followed re- peated efforts to bring about a settle- ment of labor difficulties current since the discharge of three work- men last summer.

Judge Lowe Gives Both Sides Until Feb. 15 to Tabulate Information Hettinger, N. D., Feb. 4.—(?)—Com- pleting hearing of the local utilities controversy in which an attempt is being’ made to unseat the city coun- cilmen, District Judge John C. Lowe Tuesday gave both sides until Feb. 15 to file ‘additional briefs. The hearing was on a writ of quo warranto issued by District Judge F. 'T. Lembke, ordering Councilmen J. 8, Graham, M. T. Quickstad and Ed C. Arnold to show cause why they should not be removed from office. After afer becoming delinquent, were due the county and not the city. J. K, Murray of Mott, appointed as special assistant attorney general to prosecute the action, appeared in be- half of the petitioners, at the request of Sathre. After briefs have been filed, Judge Lowe is expected to hand down an early decision. The ouster proceedings followed a dispute over a proposed muni power plant, involving the Hettinger Light and Power company. Petitioners asked for a special election to vote on a municipal power plant, but councilmen turned down the petition claiming the city treasury could not stand the expense of an election. Tax- Payers then obtained a temporary re- straining order preventing the coun- cil from renewing or granting a fran- chise at the expiration Dec. 5 of the franchise of the Montana Dakota Power company. District Judge Harvey Miller of Dickinson, howeyer, refused to make the restraining order permanent but granted a 90-day stay of execution for an appeal. Following this came the attempt to unseat the councilmen. Meanwhile no action has been taken on the fran- chise. Wetzstein Becomes Baking Firm Head C. A.

Patterson, Proprietor Frank Hayes, r Joe Anderson, Chief Clerk INCENDIARISM SEEN IN FIRE FATAL 107 21 Men Still Unaccounted for in Dam Construction Dor- mitory Holocaust —Possible incendiarism was consider- ed by officials Tuesday as they hunt- ed for additional bodies in the charred ruins of a Parker dam construction camp dormitory where at least seven men died in a raging fire Monday. Twenty-one of the 140 men housed in the dormitory still were -unac- counted for. Four others were near death from burns suffered when fire ravaged the building while they slept. Officials said it was possible a number of the missing men had es- caped from the burning building and left camp without notifying those in charge. The possibility that a disgruntled workman may have. fired the build- ing w@s investigated by Norman P. Henderson, district attorney’s investi- gator. Pumps were set up Tuesday to drain the dormitory’s flooded base- ment where investigators said several men may have been trapped as they raced through the smoke-choked halls of the building. Apparently the victims suffocated as they lay in bed. ‘Three of the seven bodies recover- ed were so badly burned officials doubted if identification ever could be made positive.

ND, FAMILIES AMONG LARGEST IN COUNTRY Percentage of Illiteracy Low in State Too, Governor Wel- ford Learns North Dakota families are among the largest in the United States, while a larger percentage of this state's population is of school age than in any other state north of the Mason-Dixon line, according to a re- port received Tuesday by Governor ‘Welford. Only 1.5 per cent of the population of the state is illiterate, according to statistics obtained by the state tax commissioner. Nine states have a slightly lower rate of illiteracy, with Towa reporting 8 per cent, the gov- ernor was told. Approximately 114 per cent ,of North Dakota’s population is within the school age of 5 to 19. Only eight states have a higher percentage of population within those ages, all of them in the south. The average per family in North Dakota is 4.62. The only two states that have larger families are North and South Carolina, with 4.85 and ND, PUTS BRAKE ON LAND SPECULATION School Land Board Decides Bor-| rowers Must Be Owner- | Residents of Property Moving to check possibility of land speculation, the state board of uni- versity and school lands Tuesday de- cided applicants for loans must be owner-residents of the farm property on which they are seeking the loan. Ludwig Pederson, manager of the state land department, and secretary of the board, said its members had determined on a three-fold policy. The board decided, Pederson said: | The loan seeker must be a bona fide resident of the state, owner-resident of the land on which he sought the loan, while the land itself must con- tain buildings. The board’s decision came as the department prepared after a lapse of approximately four years to begin loaning money on first farm land mortgages. Approximately $1,000,000 will be in- vested in first farm land mortgages this year, Pederson estimated. He anticipated probably 100 applications for farm loans by April 1, when field men will begin appraisals of land. The rule promulgated by the board, Pederson said was “to help out the actual farmer—the farmer living on the land and working that land—who desires a loan to refinance himself and hold his property.” The board now has invested ap- proximately $10,000,000 in farm lands, with another $11,000,000 in bonds, Pederson said.
