AUDITORIUM WILL Be
USED FOR THE
SPEECHES
Rain Has Put Damper on the
Big Labor Day Celebration
at Riverside

Threatening weather has put a stop
to q certain extent to the big labor
day celebration planned by the
Trades and Labor council and unless
the weather clears up this afternoon,
there will be small chance of pull
ing off the program of sports at
Riverside park where the picnic and
program was to have been held.
Following the proclamation made
by Mayor Murphy. nearly every store
and business house in the city was
closed this afternoon in observance
Of Labor day. The banks were closed
throughout the day and the city in
general enjoyed the half holiday.
The committee in charge of tho
days program showed foresight by
making arrangements for the use OF
the Grand Forks Oratorio society au-
ditorium in case Of rain and the
speeches by Rev. w. H. Matthews,
Mayor NJ. F. Murphy and j. F. T.
oConnor will be given at that place.
starting at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The Grand Forks Military band will
also be in evidence and will render
a number Of selections at the pro-
gram this afternoon.
That the addresses will prove Of in
terest to the labor union men is an
assured fact. Rev. Matthews, who
spent several weeks in New York city
this summer. spent a large portion Of
his time looking into the labor prob
lem. He spoke at several meetings at
the Brooklyn and New York labor
temples and his talk is sure to prove
interesting as he will deal with i'm
portant labor matters. Mayor MUIR
ply is also q student of labor prob
lens as they effect the city of Grand
Forks and will probably have some
interesting subjects to address the
men OF the city on.
The speaker of the day, ]. F. T.
OConnor. has an enviable reputation
not only as all orator, but as a speak
er who goes into his subject and gets
out all Of the points. He has made
public addresses and has spoken On
the labor problems and matters Of
interest to the laboring men. His adj
dress IS looked forward to with a
great deal Of interest.
The grand ball in the evening,
which will be held at the auditorium,
is expected to prove a fitting climax
for the day. An excellent orchestra
has been secured to furnish the music
and from the number of tickets sold
a record-breaking crowd is assured.
The committee in charge is as fol-
lows: Peter Morgan, Robert Reed,

most intimate friends were kept in
ignorance of his intentions until the
opening Of the Chicago meeting when
the trial fights for receiving licenses

Mr.. Mong made N Of the most
sensational flights eve attempted by
an amateur. The big Wright biplane
was drawn upon the field, everything
was made ready and at a signal from
the judges, Mong was away like a
great bird swooping around the
course while thousands cheered in
the park, and countless thousands
watched from Michigan avenue.
Mong rose rapidly to a heighth of
5000 feet and while at that heighth
encountered what is known among
aviators as a "hole in the air." the
terrific speed which the machine had
attained in climbing to such a great
heighth, caused the machine to
swerve when it struck the hole and
Mong lost control of his engine, a
mighty groan went up from the vast
assemblage as the machine swerved
and underwent to turn turtle and the
plucky aviator was facing certain
death, the machine righted itself,
then swooped downward at terrific
speed. A deathlike silence pervaded
tho countless thousands below, the
aviator was seen to be desperately
working to control his machine;
suddenly the machine righted itself
and Mong quick to grasp the only
chance to save himself swung into a
sensational spiral glide that brought
the vast crowd to its feet with q
mighty cheer that was heard for
miles, and landed the daring aviator
within 100 feet OF his starting point,
and wa the climax of one of the
most sensational flights ever wit
messed in the history of aviation.

FULL WEIGHT MUST
Be GIVEN LARD
CONSUMERS
Attorney General Makes Such
Ruling, on the New State
Law

There is said to be a combination
of the lard manufacturers to fight the
Ladd lard law of this state and 1t is
alleged that they will not send in lard
labeled as required by the law, but
have been sending it in short weight.
At the request of Pure food Com
missioner Ladd, Attorney General Mil
Ter was asked to give his %interpreta-
ton of the law, and the following is
what Attorney General Miller has to
say of it:
Prof. E. F. Laid, Dear Sir: We
! have yours in which you proposed the
following questions, and ask for an
opinion thereon:
Can lard be put up in gross weight
containers and labeled for net weight,
and legally sold?
my answer is nc.
Can lard be legally sold under this
Statute when put up in two and a half
pound containers. and labeled two and
a half pounds?
My answer is no.
Can lard be put up and sold in No.
5 containers, which the public suppose
to mean five pounds net lard, and
W4tSiouI li1iiNSl-OA VI LIZ llSG "clSlll
"My answer t this question is no.
would it be legal to sell lard in a
Pail marked siXty-siX ounces, which
of course would be equivalent to 4.1S
pounds, and intended to take the
place of a five-pound pail or con-
tainer?
MY nswer is that it would not be
legal to do this.
You further ask: Would l be JUS
titled in bringing complaint against
packers or retailers whose lard is la
beled ~sixty-six ounces net weight?
Can lard compound or lard substitutes
be sold in other size containers than
net n pound, or some whole multi
pie thereof, as 3, 5 or 10 pounds?
THE law plainly states that where
lard is put up in containers, or pals.
that 1t shall be put up in one, three
or five pounds net weight, or some
whole multiple of these numbers, and
not in fractions thereof. Sixty-six
nee would not be a whole multiple
thereof, and therefore l think it Is
prohibited by this act. and you would
be justified in bringing action against
the Offenders.
II think the intent of the act is
that lard substitutes shall be subject
to the same rules and regulations as
to weight. ETC., as lard, although the
language is not as direct as might be
desired.
while the act seems particularly
to be aimed at short weights in the
lard trade. | am constrained to hold
that the title is broad enough and GER
tain enough to make the entire act
constitutional, and it is the opinion
Of this Office that chapter 2s36 of the
laws of 1911 is constitutional. Yours
very truly, Andrew Miller. Attorney
General"

Meeting of representatives of capt.
tai and labor periodically would help
to keep a good feeling. The difficulty
has been that capital and labor have
both sought to get all they could with
out regard to the other.
Lastly, We need the word culti-
Walton as a key to the solution of the
problem of capital and labor. We need
to educate our children to see that
the accumulation of money is not the
highest end in life, but the making of
a useful member of society,""
