NATION WIDE PEACEJS NEAR Parties on Both Sides Back Harding Plan to Resume Work, Then Settle. Washington—Nationwide industrial peace is close at hand. Parties to both disputes agreed with President Harding on the main point —work to be resumed at once, upon the old terms, pending final settle ment. Warren S. Stone, spokesman for rail shop workers in the present par ley, accepted this premise. John L. Lewis, miner's chief and S. W. War irner, speaking for the anthracite won ers, also agreed to it. The seniority dispute was in obey ance and apparently unsettled, though it will not stand in the way of peace. The house probably^ will act next week on the president's request for a federal coal commission to make a complete investigation of the mining industry in the hope that a solution for preventing the frequently recur ring coal strikes may be found. The commission would be empowered to uncover the profits of the coal opera tors—a constant cause of dispute in the coal fields. The senate foreign relations com mittee will meet to consider the exec utive's request for legislation giving the federal courts power to protect the treaty rights of aliens, so that the government could step in and punish those responsible for such outbreaks of violence as the Herrin massacre. But the president's plan for prevent ing coal profiteering through the crea tion of a federal agency which would purchase large supplies of coal and distribute it at fair prices to the states continues to face strong opposition. TARIFF BILL PASSES SENATE Message Will Be Returned To The House For a Conference. Washington—After four months of debate the senate has passed the Mc Cumber tariff bill, designed to yield an annual revenue of $400,000,000. This is $50,000,000 greater than customs duties ever produced. The vote on passage of the bill was 48 to 25. Sen ator W. E. Borah of Idaho was-the only republican voting in the negative. Among republicans who voted for the bill were Senators Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin and W. L. Jones of Washington, who served natice that they may vote against the conference report, unless many reductions in du ties are made. Mr. Pordney predicted the confer ences will complete their work in a month and that the bill will be on the statute books before the election. There are many who doubt this, who believe final enactment will be de layed until November or December. The duties in the senate bill are higher in many instances than in the house bill. Particularly is this true in the case of duties on farm pro ducts, boosted by the senate consider ably above the Payne-Aldrich law level, the standard followed fcy the house committee.

OPERATORS RAISE PRICES Hoover Demands Fair Coal Prices of Coal Barons. Washington—Immediate action for the proper protection of the public In the price of coal produced in Ohio was asked of Governor H. L. Davis by Secretary Hoover.

"You will see that in this situation, if we give priorities, it would not be just to the operators or to persons in great need of coal in other states in view of the aditional supplies in Ohio."

WANT TEETH !N RAIL ACT president Places Nation's Industrial His Before C&ongress. Washington—President Harding in bis address to Congress recommended specific legislation designed to cure the nation's industrial ills, declared that the right of employers and em ployes alike to establish their meth ods of conducting business, to choose their employment and to determine tfceir relations with each other must lie recognized. In a.aking for coal legislation the President said thtt the administration had sought earnestly 'to restrain pro fiteering and to secure the right of distribution" of coal but was without legal power to control prices. The President also deplored what he termed "jwarfare on the unions of labor." Asserting that the striking unions in Instances had not held their forces to law observance, Mr. Harding said, •there is a state of lawlessness shock ing to every conception of American law and order," and announced his in tention to invoke laws', civil and crim inal, iorbidding conspiracies In diseasing the coal situation the President referred to the "shocking erime at Herrin, 111., which so recent ly horrified the country," and added the incident was "butchery of human beings wrought in madness."

In declaring positively. for the right Of men to work the president said that In both {he coal and railroad strikes this right had been "denied by asault and violence," in some cases winked at by local authorities.

The Building of the New Hotel Is Being Financed by Messrs. Ran dall & Dunn, of Duluth, by a Bond Issue. The constantly increasing tide of tourist travel along the North Shore of Lake Superior has required the building of a thoroughly modern ho tel at Grand Marais. For -the past two years the hotel accommodations have been taxed to the limit. This yeai4 the volume of travel has already exceeded any former year and the prospects are that the many new de velopments along the Duluth-Port Arthur Highway will bring a, verit able flood of travel next year. In years to come it is certain that the motor traveling public are going to turn to thi& Northern Lake region as never before. This influx of high class travel far exceeds the effort being made to handle it. These people want com fort at the end of the day's jour ney. They want water and plenty of it: they want a bath and a good din ner. Furthermore they are willing to pay for it. There is no class of travel more worth catering to than the summer tourist. He has money and expects to spend it. The better the accommodation offered, the more cheerfully he will pay for it. Andert & Spooner now operate the Tourist Hotel at Grand Marais and have it thoroughly equipped with modejrQ. pluftibing, so£t, ybeds and rec reation rooms. They have teen op erating successfully for three sieasons. However, they need more space, and the $65,000 structure now being erected is the outcome of that need. At present the people to whom ac commodation must be refused are obliged to p^ess along the road to Fort William or Port Arthur (85 miles' east) or to Duluth (127 miles West) if they would be housed in comfort, or they must camp out. That income is lost and no one the gainer by it. For this reason Andert & Spooner have begun one of the finest tourist hotels in the North country. The New ^Grand Marais1 Hotel will contain 80 good sized rooms. Every room will have hot and cold water. Fifteen shower baths are provided and a sufficient number of tubs. Several rooms are furnished with pri vate bath rooms. Every room is an outside room fronting either on the harbor or looking out into the pine woods. A large lobby, comfortably furnished, a spacious dining room and a commodious kitchen make up the balance of the hotel. Dr. Robertson's Dental Office will be open for a few days in the cabin.

THE SUNDAY TEA TX7ITHIN tll£ last few years the custom of tea serving on Sunday afternoon has been growing, especially in the large cities or city suburbs. Usually these teas are informal and there are no special invitations for theiu —perhaps that is why they have proved so popular. "If you are out Sunday afternoon, drop in and have a cup of tea with us the Joneses will probably be around." That is about all there is to the usual invitation. And you go and the Joneses are there and some interesting people whom you have never met and there is perhaps a little music and if it is a warm day all will stroll through the garden and you go home feeling that you are much better off because of this little "tea party." To be sure there are some persons who would feel that this sort of thing was not quite in keeping with the spirit of Sunday and those people you would of course not invite to have tea with you on that afternoon, though the chances are that those very people would accept an invitation to go motoring on that day or would have dinner at a hotel in order to lighten their own household cares. Easter day, like other festive days, is with many .people a day when they like to see their friends and exchange the season's greetings and* for that reason the Easter Sunday afternoon tea is looked upon with favor among such persons. Whatever may be your own attitude toward dancing on Sun day among most Americans there is still a prejudice against it, as there is against the playing of the "noisier" sort of dance music. This is not really so much a matter of religious principle with a good many people but one of respect for time honored cus tom. One thing that especially recom mends these little Sunday social gatherings is that since most American men regarcUit as normal .state of affairs to have to work for six days in the week Sunday is the only time when we can have an afternoon party that is attended by both men and women.

VILLAGE ELECTION NEXT SATURDAY SHALL THE VILLAGE BUY THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT? Next Saturday there will be a spe cial election to decide the question of having a municipally-owned elec tric light plant. The plant is in stalled and being operated so that we know what we are buying. The point to be considered is, "Would it be to the advantage of the average citizen and to the village as an or ganization to own this plant?" To begin with, the plant cost $13, 000.00 and a little over by the time it was installed. There has been add ed over $2,000.00 in extensions and meter boxes. And it has been ap praised by an expert as being worth $17,000.00. So the village would be getting it at cost or a trifle less, and for $2,000.00 less than the appraised valuation. The greater part of the value of a plant such as this is in the poles', wire and meters. That part of the plant is slow to depreciate. The en gines, which are only worth about $3,000.00, would be expected to de preciate more rapidly, and more could be charged off for depreciation each year for that part of the plant. Nevertheless', they will run as long as they are kept in repair and broken parts replaced. To be in private hands, the rate will be kept at the present high mark in definitely the village would reduce the rate as soon as the income would justify it, which ought to be right away, as1 a lowering of the rate would increase the consumption and it costs little more to operate the plant at the peak than at the minimum. And the village has just started to de velop. The people will-have to pay for the plant anyway, and it would be bet ter to own it, than to be compelled to give it back to the present own ers after it is' paid for. The present owners who have tak en the responsibility upon themselves of paying for the plant did so in the "first" place "as a" matter of civi6 pride. They must not be expected to shoul der this extra worry gratis. The plant will pay a dividend and the profit bug will get in his work as the business increases' and the vil lage expands. DO NOT BE LUKEWARM about this matter. You must be either for it or against it. Go to the polls and vote yes or no.
