DESPITE LAWS
In many cities efforts are
being made to reduce the
wages of workers in the build-
ing industry. As a rule the
propaganda for these reduc-
tions comes from the contrac-
tors, who want to make it ap-
pear that the high cost of
building is due to the wages of
the workers.
The manufacturers of build-
ing material also aid in this

"No Longer Will Miners Be
Content With the Crumbs
From Operators'Tables."
Alexander Howat, fighting leader |
of the expelled Kansas miners, was i
in Oklahoma City Friday morning on
his way to Coalgate where he will i
reply to John Wilkinson's defense of
the national administration on the
I Kansas situation.
Regardless of the fact that the
! present strike, whether it be won or j
lost, will make no change in the
1 status of llowat and his followers j
j unless they are reinstated by the ex-
i ecuttve board, there is no attempt on
Howat's part to retaliate on the or-
! ganizatlon from which he and thou- :
sands of miners were unconstitu- !
tionally ousted. Knowing he was ex-
pelled against the protest of the ma- j
jority of the rank and file Howat is ,
putting forth every effort in their
defense, looking to them to keep up
the fight for their starving comrades
in Kansas. Following is Howat's
statement to the miners of America
on the strike situation:
"The coal corporations of America
are today organized in all parts of
the country, and are making another
attempt to crush the miners' union.

The state association, under the

in which the cotton produced by the
members during the term of five
years must be sold through the as-

! today, German and French delegates
were engaged In a virtual battle of
diplomacy, over the question of
whether reparations should be dis-

The German reply to the allied
financial recommendations was de*
ctared by many to be entirely satis*
factory to the majority, displeasing
only the French, because of Its flat
contention that any coneration of na-
tional budgets must take cognizance
of the reparations problem.

which will protect the farmers of
Oklahoma from thc unjust discrim-

"A law whereby the farmers'
wheat could he tested upon its com-

instead of upon the weight of the
grain will be enacted in this state
provided the league candidates con-

Under the United States grain
standard act it is provided that in
any state where a grain inspection
department is established, "the secre-
tary of agriculture shall Issue li-
censes to the person or persons duly
authorized to inspect and grade
grain under the laws of said state."
Those connected with the grain in-
spection department in North Da-
kota have been provided with fed-
eral licenses and it is vital that such
license be retained in that state,
otherwise, it is claimed, any person
wanting his grain inspected would
have to send it to tbe inspection de-
partment at Minneapolis causing
untold delay aud dissatisfaction
Farmers of North Dakota want the
Inspection department maintained in I
their own state and according to the j
best authority, all that is necessary
to continue the work is to have the

grain may then be sent to the de-
