REMEDY FOR IDLENESS
National Conference On Unemployed
In session-Speakers Declare Ger
many Has Solved Problem
STATE EXCHANGES URGED

New York, Feb. 2S.-Delegates to
the national conference on unemploy-
ment gathered in the city hall to find
a remedy for irregularity of employ
ment, to hit upon practicable meth
cd of bringing together the jobless
man and the manless job" and to Or
ganize the labor market so there may
be a permanent thinning in the swol-
len ranks Of the unemployed.
According to the census bureau rs
per cent of the entire number of work
ing persons in New York are without
employment for from one to three
months during the year.
Mayor John Purrow Mitchell opened
the conference with an address on
Public Responsibility
The delegates brought to the con-
ference special home problems from
every large city in the country and
from an exposition of these special
conditions a general paacea is being
formulated.
Andrews, secretary Of the American
Association for Labor Legislation,
will sift down to this: How are EN-.
ployers to employ constant staff of
men and keep them busy in slack
seasons? Germany has done it and
certain manufacturing concerns and
railroads in this country have shown
that this can be done by shifting men
| engaged in construction work from
one part of the country to another as
the slack season in any given locality
leaves surplus of labor
"The definite constructive result OF
this conference" he concluded, will
be the establishment of a great many
employment exchanges, which ought
to be run by the state"
Already, according to Dr. Andrews
eight cities have established free EN-
ployment exchanges.

PETERSON GETS DAMAGES
Jury Decides He Is Entitled To
$2,296 For Injuries Done To His
Business, Character end Feelings
AGAINST BAUDETTE COUNCIL

: .Et > - 4 ~. 81 t. Z.
That Emil Peterson, a contractor
and builder of Baudette, is entitled
to $2,296 for damages done to his
business, character and feelings, is
the contents of the verdict return
ed last night shortly after o'clock.
In 1911 Peterson was given a con-
tract by the Baudette council to erect
a bridge. 1t being the belief of
the council that Misrepresentation
had been made, G. R. Middleton, then
city attorney, was instructed to
cause Peterson's arrest for Larceny,
in connection with the issuing of
several liens. ~.
The arrest was made and Peter
son kept in jail for three days before
he was given his release by a Justice
of the peace who believed the evil
dence insufficient to hold him. Be-
cause of this Peterson started suit
for $24,690, claiming that damages
to that extent had been done to his
feelings, character and business by
the arrest. ....~.-.--7 ~
Judge Stanton's charge to the jury
was completed shortly before 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and the
verdict was received by Judge
Wright at p. m :. The verdict was
itemized allowing the plaintiff
$1,000 for damages done to his busi
ness, $1,000 for damages done to his
character and feelings and 1926 fol
expenses in fighting the criminal
charge at the preliminary hearing.
According to several Bemidji law
yers the verdict of the jury, I'm thai
| it was itemized, lis a rare occurrence
in lay procedure. The verdict viii
probably be appealed.
The lawyers in the case were E
O.. Hagen of Crookston and e. e. Nc
Donald of Bemidji for the plaintiff
while G. r. Middleton of Baudettt
and Graham M. Torrance of Bemidj
appeared for j. U. Williams, Georg,
Partridge, George Arnold, Elecy Ri
ley and J. A. Lin dsay, village council
at the time of the arrest, which il

New York, Feb. 2S.-William Lori
mer of Chicago returned on the
Olympic from a three months Eu-
ropean tour. When asked whether
he was still in politics Lorimer said:
"Why, Of course, I'm still in politics.
Why shouldn't I be-? l always have
been in the game ever since I was old
enough to have a mans thoughts and
l intend staying in it as long as I live.
Any reports that I have left politics
are simply ridiculous.
zone of the principal objects of
my trip was to make a first hand
study of currency conditions abroad.
l found there is much more confidence
in American securities since the pas
sage of the new currency law. You
know I am president Of a Chicago
bank and the financial situation in this
country has been so muddled in re-
cent months that the directors of the
institution declared it would be good

PINDELL. AN "AUSTRIAN JEW
Grotesque Story Published in st
Petersburg Paper. 49,.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 2S-The lead
ing monarchist organ, the Zemstchina,
which by order of the car is studied
by all officers, gives the following
grotesque version of the recent pro-
posed nomination of Henry M. Pindell
to be American ambassador to Rus
STA.
The Zemstchina declares the Rus
sian government learned Mr.. Pindell
was the son of Josiah Pindell, an Aus
TRAN Jew, and owed his nomination
to the "Hon. Jacob Lewis" of Illinois,
president of the League of American
Jews. The paper proceeds:
"The Russian embassy at Washing
ton confirmed the foregoing Informal
ton. In a delicate manner the prest-
dent was given to understand. Pindell
scarcely would be acceptable to the
Russian government"

In Eastern classification territory
where the proposed advance of 5 per

It is the desire of the commission,
through the hearings resumed, to de-
termine two things:
First, the prOpriety of a charge by
the railroads, in addition to the regu-
lar freight rate to a given destina-
ton, for the spotting and ferry car
service; and, second, the amount of
the charge and the manner in which
it should be assessed.
Free Service" Costly.
Witnesses before the commission
have asserted that free service" per-
formed by the railroads for certain
large shippers is so costly that if the
practice were eliminated it would
substantially affect the revenues Of
the roads and possibly make unneces-
sary an increase in freight rates.
No testimony is being taken affect
