PIPPIN SUPPORTERS PROTEST 10 BOARD 318 Residents of Slope Area Re- turn to Homes After Special Trip Here Three hundred eighteen residents aren were back home Tuesday satis- fied that they had done their best to indicate the feelings people of their area have toward H. O. Pippin, presi- Gent of the Dickinson State Normal school, whose rumored removal they came to Bismarck Monday by special train to protest. Members of the state board of ad- ministration listened to the protests of the delegates in crowded chambers of the North Dakota house of repre- sentatives. Theodore Kellogg, chair- man of the Dickinson Chamber of Commerce, introduced those who spoke in favor of Pippin. All members of the board were present. Pat Daly, pioneer Dickinson resi- dent, opened the session with a plea for Pippin, saying “the people of the entire Missouri Slope area love and respect their school president.” New England Woman Speaks “There is no better school admin- istrative head in North Dakota,” as- serted Mrs. J. W. McEmytee, member cf the New England school board. “Our community has a healthy regard for H. O. Pippin and we wish that he be retained.” Rev. Levi Williams, Belfield Presby- terian minister, said he was represent- ing five western counties in behalf of parents whose children are at the school. “They insist that Pippin be Rev. Gregory Borski, Lefor, Catholic priest. “We have confidence in his ability &s head of our school,” declared Mrs. H. W. Reid, Dickinson, Parent-Teach- ers’ association. At the close of the meeting, as the delegates were leaving the house chamber, the state bonding depart- ment distributed to them a statement its previous refusal to issue a bond to Pippin and expressing its ess to have the matter of whether it should issue a bond decided ‘in district court as provided by law. Some members of the delegation were incensed that this matter should have been brought up in this way and not opened for discussion before the board and a group of them called at the bonding department offices to discuss the matter. Whether or not the question of a bond will be carried into court was not immediately de- cided.

From here they will be assigned to various sections of the valley country where a heavy harvest is about to be- gin. Wages have not yet been fixed but at Wahpeton $2.50 a day and “found” is being offered. “Found” includes board and room. If a shortage de- velops as some persons expect the wage rate may go higher. Efforts to fix an initial wage scale at Fargo have so far been unavailing, farmers not having made up their minds what they will offer, according to information received here. WPA Projects to Close Recognizing the rapidly developing situation, the WPA state offices here announced that WPA projects in that area will be shut down for from 60 to 90 days, depending upon develop- ments, to release men for the harvest. With the WPA out of the field men who have been in its employment will have either to accept harvest em- ployment or get along as best they can. Alvin Arneson, Bismarck, was sent out to survey the situation last week and s shut down of projects in the working his way west- ward and a report on labor conditions and the prospective need for harvest hands in the central part of the state is Tuesday. ‘The request that the Bismarck of- fice of the re-employment service take steps to supply as many men as pos- sible was received Tuesday by Stuart Walker, in charge of the district offices here in the absenoe of ©.

Can Start at Once Walker said all men wanting to work should report at the World War Memorial building here as soon as possible, ready to leave at once for the harvest fields. They will be immedi- ay assigned to jobs in the valley, he Walker suggested that, where pos- sible, a number of men arrange to go in one car to save traveling expenses. In his call from Fargo Larin said 50 men a day will be needed there for the next five or six days, after which the number needed will jump to 100 2 day. Walker said definitely that the re- employment service is “not ie, as to the prospective demand; that the need exists and that any able- bodied man can have a job. No Needed Previous experience in the harvest fields is not necessary, most of the work being of such nature than it can ‘be done by unskilled hands. Whether or not WPA projects in this area will be shut down to re- lease men for the harvest in the east- ern part of the state had not been de- termined Tuesday. One of the factors entering into the decision will be whether or not married men will find it profitable to accept such employ- ment away from their homes.
