In LaDOr'S
Field.

A study of the labor question in Mime
sofa presents much food for reflection
That the situation is far from satisfac-
tory Is patent to all, but the disturbing
causes seem to be hidden from view
Much is ascribed to politics and to the
trusts, but there are other factors, more
tangible and more Immediately concern
ed, the consideration of which is essential
In order that remedies may be suggested
for evils that are acknowledged but not
understood.
Labor saving machinery and the rapid
ly increasing activity of women in the
field of labor, together with the tendency
to more and more supplant adult labor
with that of minors, affect the situation
perhaps more seriously than trusts and
pOlitics-though the latter are by no
means without their bearing on the SUBJ
ject In the manufacturing trades the
Introduction of labor saving machinery
has perhaps displaced an average Of 50
per cent Of the hand labor that would
otherwise have to be employed The ef-
fects Of this displacement, however, are
more apparent than real, because in the
first place a large percentage of the dis
placed labor is required in producing the
raw material for and the manufacture
of, this vast amount of machinery; and,
in the next, the chcapening Of manufac-
turing processes by means Of labor saw
ing machinery has tended to largely in
crease manufactures The cheapening of
products has also had a cOmpensating eff
feet on labor in this, that less Of the
working mans wages is required to Sc,
cure these manufactured articles than
under the ola system. Nevertheless the
fact remains that a certain amount OF
hand labor has been effectually displaced
by machinery. which labor has been
thrown onto the market so to speak, in
competition with that already employed,
and the effect has been TO weaken the
labor market to just that ~extent-in
other words, TO lower wages in propoi-
tion to the added competition.
The increased employment Of women
and children seems to have followed as
a result of the Introduction of machinery.
Where formerly skilled labor, command
ing good wages, was required, it is now
possible to accomplish the same work by
means of machinery and cheap at,
tendants-that is, machine. with female
or child attendants, at low wages, is now
made to take the place of skilled hand
operators at high wages This, Of course.
has the effect Of weakening the labor
market TO the extent of the difference
between the earnings of the well paid
skilled operator and the cheap machine
attendant
The displacement Of well paid mascu-
line labor by under paid female help is
unQuesuonably one of the most depress-
ing factors In the labor market today.
Recent statistics prove that nearly one
third of the employees of the factories
stores and workshops in the larger cities

NEW RAILWAY INCORPORATED.
To he Opened From Fargo to Du-
luth Through MankatO.


FARGO, N D., March 17-(Special)-
Late this afternoon incorporation papers
were sent to Secretary of State Falley,
by which the Fargo, Duluth North
western railway becomes Incorporated 1t
is proposed by the projectors of the en-
terprise to first build southeast from
Fargo intersecting with various railroads
between Fargo and Mankato. AS soon
as that is completed the road will be eX.
tended in northwesterly direction to
the international boundary, passing
through the counties of Cass, Train,
Steele Nelson, Ramsey and Cavalier,
When that is completed it is proposed
to build from Fargo directly east to Du-
luth, opening new lumber and farming
country tributary to Fargo, and giving
farmers of the Northwest the shortest
route possible to the head of the lakes
for their grain. This will give Fargo s
wholesalers just the road they have beer
wanting for some time and will assure
Fargo becoming the commercial and
financial center Of the Northwest. In

people. He had been eating meat, bread.
etc, right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce the
welght OF a corpulent person with un-
healthy flesh, and viii add to the weight
OF thin person not properly nourished.
There is abundance of evidence to prove
this.
Grape-Nuts balance the body in a con-
dltlon Of true health. Scientific selection
OF food elements makes Grape-Nuts good
and valuable. The foods delicious flavor

made friends that in turn have made
Irape-Nuts famous. Sold by all gFocers.

much nourlshment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from ten

Ten pounds Of meat might contain more
nourishment than one pound of Grape
Nuts, but not in shape that the system

the body can make up from one pound of
Grape-Nuts.

COMMISSION PROBLEM.

NEW YORK, March 17.-General pas
senger agents of the Western Passengers
association, who undertook to carry into
effect the decisions reached at the recent
meeting Of railroad presidents in New
York, in relation to additional rule to
prevent the payment OF commissions, are
understood to have abandoned their ef,
forts to secure the assent of the Ca
madam Pacific to the agreement That
company has Withdrawn it's colonist
rates, but the ticket commission matter
is still unsettled, as far as that company
is concerned, and has been referred back
TO the special presidents committee for
their consideration.
The difficulty is over the request that
it be reimbursed for special commissions
and expenses incurred in the Kootenai
travel last summer, when it was at ODDS
over this business with the American
lines. 1t Is understood that the amount
it asks to be reimbursed is approximate
