MINNESOTA WAGE LAW Is
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 23.-Judge Cat
lin today pronounced the state mini
mum wage law unconstitutional. Ap-
peal will be taken to the state supreme
court. He enjoined the state mini
mum wage commission from spending
further money in the work of the COM
mission. THE actual working of the
law would be apt to increase immor-
ality if morals depend on wages" said
the judge. The law is unconstitu-
tional because it gave legislative pow
ers to an appointive commission and
gave that commission discretion as to
minimum wages"

TO INQUIRE COST
OF ARMOR PLATE
Commission Leaves Washington
to Visit Several of the
Large Steel Plants.
ARSENAL AS LOCATION
Congressman TaVe7rer Urging Rock
Island as Site of Factory That
May Be Established.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The agitation
for a government-owned and operated
armor plate factory is revived by the
departure from Washington of spe-
cial government commission to inves-
tigate the actual cost of manufacture
of armor plate and expenditure neces-
sary to create a factory.
The commission, authorized by the
house of representatives consists of
Chairman Padgett, of the house COM
mittee on naval affairs; Chairman
TiIlman of the senate committee on
naval affairs, and Admiral Strauss,
chief of the bureau of the ordnance
of the navy department
Inspection will be made of the
plants of the Carnegie company, Pitts
burgh, the Midvale Steel company at
Philadelphia, and of the Bethlehem
Steel company at Bethlehem, Pa The
armor plate used by the navy on its
battleships is made at these plants.
The commission will not consider
the question of location for the pro-
posed armor plate factory. This duty
is not included in the house authorize
ton under which it is working. 1t is
to report to the congress only on the
first cost of armor plate and of a
plant large enough TO enable the gov
tor with private concerns in the man
ufacture of armor plate to the extent
of supplying a considerable part of
the necessary plates.
Many locations hare been proposed
in bills presented to congress at the
last session, and the advocates of each
of these sites will work hard for their
selection during the coming session.
The Rock Island arsenal location is
being urged by Congressman Taven-
ner of Illinois; sites at Pottsville and
by Congressman Lee and
Edmonds of Pennsylvania, and sites
at Pittsburgh, Norfolk and Birming-
ham, Ala, by other statesmen.
Interest is keen in the work of the
leaving here. II is hoped
that its report will be favorable to the
of a government armor plate
factory and that its estimates of the
cost will present so modest a sum as
not TO scare the economists of con-
gress and prevent the granting of the
necessary appropriation
Secretary Daniels of the navy has
been persistent in his demands for
lower priced armor plate and has
urged the government plant in order |
20 force the private manufacturers TO J
4 lower price. He has argued that as
The government powder plants have
the prices of powder, so the
armor plate factory will reduce the |
price of armor plate, and the govern
nent plant. no matter what its first !
cost, would prove a great money saver
% the government in ten years or less
through forced price reductions. The
is behind the present In
restigation, and is expected to urge !
he appropriation for purchase of the
lite and building of the plant by con-
,ress at the coming session.

also continues south of Plock, in the
vicinity of LODI, and near Green
stochau. Operations in Poland are
considered favorable
London, Nov. 23-There has been
desperate fighting in Russian Poland,
but without details as to the outcome,
and resumption of activity in west
Flanders, are features of the situa-
ton in the war zone. Violent bonn
bardments have destroyed the town
hall and central market at Ypres, and
this may herald an attempt by the
Germans to break the center, now
held by the English. Both sides are
reticent concerning progress Of the
battle in Poland, but Berlin Is conf
dent Won Kindenburg will justify his
fame as the greatest German general.
Petrograd is silent about the strategy
of the present campaign, but Berlin
seems to regard the Polish operations
as decisive in the Russian campaign,
if not on the outcome of the entire
war.

Berlin, Nov. 23.-Baron Won Hoet-

Impressive funeral services were
held for Miss Miller Sunday afternoon
in Healy's chapel. Rev. David D.

hundred persons followed the body to

ment took place.
Out of a multiplicity of clews detec-
tives are devoting attention to the few
words Miss Miller was able to say be-
anxious to decipher the significance of
several numbers she muttered while
in a semi-conscious condition.
While there is still a chance that
the mistaken jealous husband"
theory may be substantiated, the po-
lice are satisfied it is about to be ex-
ploded Several married couples whose

Despite the new turn of affairs, de-
tectives are continuing their search
for the mysterious 'J. E. Shobles,'' -
who disappeared from the rooming-
house of Mrs Ben Edgar about the
time Miss Miller was struck down.
Many Aurora clergymen used the
killing of Miss Miller as the text for
their Sunday night sermons.

The War Today
CeY ASSOCIATED PREss)

At two points in the battle line
across France and Belgium the Ger
mans are making efforts to break
through. and a critical struggle is also
on in Russian-Poland. The French
statement says that at Ypres, Belgium,
a point selected for a new German
attempt to force a way TO the Eng
lish channel. artillery fire was violent
Sunday. and many buildings were
fired. In the Argonne forest region,
near the end of the eastern battle
lines, fighting Sunday was very hot,
but the German onslaughters were
repulsed.
The effect of the bombardment o;
Rheims and scissors is not disclosed.
The German official statement says
the English squadron's attempt to
lombard Nieuport twice was re-
pulsed. The Germans claim to be
gaining ground slowly in the Argonne
region. Efforts of the Germans in
the west continue in spite of cold
weather.
The struggle between the Russian
and Austro-German forces in the east,
however, is rated as of greater gen.
eraI Importance, because it is consid-
cred it will have a direct bearing on
the future of the war. From this
quarter no news came. The Turks
are said to have reached the Suez
canal after defeating the British.
