BALTIC FLEET
and ARMY READY
FOR Big BATTLE
No Disorganization Among
Defenders of "Free
Russia"
GERMANS PREPARE
GREAT ATTACK
Land and Sea Attack For
Purpose Of Cutting Off
Petrograd.
(Ry Associated Press. J

London, April 25!-A Helsingfors
dispatch says that the council of army
and navy delegates at Sveaborg has
decided to send a wireless message to
the allied feet saying that the Baltic
fleet and the army defending its base
is in complete readiness to fight to
the last in defense of free Russia.
The message will add that the SOL
diers and sailors are in perfect union
with their officers. This action was
decided upon at a meeting attended
by a delegate from the French navy
and is intended as a reply to reports
circulated by German agents that the
Baltic fleet was absolutely disorganized
and incapable OF fighting.
Dispatches from Petrograd during
the last few days have reported great
activity on the part Of the German
fleet in the Baltic. A Monday dispatch
adds that German transports have left
Libau for an unknown destination.
Other reports declared that the Ger
mans were planning a land and sea
attack on the rear of the Russian line
at Riga, with the hope of isolating
and capturing Petrograd. Sveaborg is
the great Russian fortress defending
the Gulf of Finland. Prior to the war
it ranked with Cronstadt as sup
posedly impregnable stronghold. Pc
trograd dispatches received here yes
terday reported an exodus Of civilians
from the Russian capital under pres
sure of fear OF German attack. Since
the outbreak of the war Germany has
made several attempts to force her
way into the North Baltic but each
time has met defeat. -...

Equity Declares Food Speculation @ .
Adjustment Necessary War Movement

i That by reason of the unlimited
manipulation which has heretofore OBJ
tanned in the socalled regular grain
exchanges of the country which prac-
tices are now immeasurably fncreas-
ed by reason Of the abnormal and un-
precedented conditions enforced by the
war-the entire business of grain pro-
duction has become mere gamble,
the outcome OF which Is determined by
the riot of gambling and speculative
transactions which daily and hourly
raises and lowers the prices of COM
modities grown; which destroys all
stability Of price and lends itself to
dishonest and selfish manipulation to
the detriment and injury Of loyal
workers in the field.
Be 1t further resolved that we call
upon the federal government, as war
measure and for the protection of
workers everywhere engaged in pro-
duction:
First, to abolish forthwith, the prac-
tice Of price manipulation in grain ex-
changes together with the instrument
tality through which this is accom-
plished, namely, future trading in
grain and grain products.
Second. to fix and determine, with
careful regard for present disorgani-
zation Of industry and the immensely
increased actual and prospective cost
Of production q schedule OF minimum
prices for farm products sufficient to
guarantee to the producer a reason

the unnecessary gambling hazards Of
the present system. We call attention

Resolutions adopted at the Equity
Cooperative exchange conference, un-
der way in Fargo yesterday and this
morning, declare for the elimination
OF speculation and the fixing OF prices
for food products. as q Necessary war
movement for the protection Of the
people against excessive prices.
That the federal and state agencies
be combined for the purpose of finan-
cling the farmers is also declared abso-
lutely necessary IL food production is
to be placed on a proper basis.
Adoption by the government Of a
''pay as you go" policy in prosecuting
the war is also insisted upon, with an
income tax on all incomes OF 81, 800 or
more, and with q $4,000 income the
maximum permitted any person-alI
in excess of that sum to be used by
the government.
The conference was placed under
way yesterday afternoon, being con-
cluded at noon today.
Loyalty.
Whereas with war has come the SUI
preme test OF the nation, necessitating
vast economical and scientific produc-
tion of foodstuffs upon scale hereto
fore undreamed Of:
Be It resolved by the members of
the Equity Cooperative exchange in
special convention assembled, that we
pledge anew our loyalty TO the nation,
our faith in her democratic ideals, and
our answering effort to omit no step
which will make for increased produc-
tion and the most effectual co-opera-
tion in the sale and distribution Of
farm products.

to the fact that practically all of the
warning nations have already adopted
this course and that the resultant
stimulus to agriculture has been
incalculable.
Farm Labor, Seed. Feed, and Money.
And whereas an assured and COM
petent supply of labor. seed for plant
ing, and feed for farm animals is
absolutely essential to proper produc-
tions. and whereas to our knowledge
competent farm labor has been in
creasingly difficult to obtain in past
years; good seed is scarce and its
price almost prohibitive: and many
producers in the northwest are liter
ally without food for necessary farm
animals and without money to obtain
or pay for same.
Therefore. be II resolved: We call
upon the government both state and
federal-and all the agencies of each
as well as upon the banks and all
patriotic individuals with means, to
assist the producers everywhere in OBJ
tanning necessary labor. seeds, and
feed and we further soIemnly warn
the country that unless cooperation
and assistance is advanced. the farm
ers of the northwest cannot hope to
produce to the full limit of their
CAPACITY. and that assistance IL render
ed at ALL must be rendered within a
few weeks and before the planting sea-
son Is over.
We earnestly suggest that the gov
ernment take immediate steps to pro-
vide for the free. or practically free,

MAINTAIN LABOR

Need Of Adjustment
(Ry Associated Press. }

Washington, April 25.-In q state
ment amplifying its recent appeal to
employers and workers not TO change
labor standards at this time, the coun-
recognizes hat afs slstmert may be-
come necessary and suggests that the
council itself may fnd tt advisable 20

It Is not the purpose Of the council

standards of living. That should be re-
ferred to the mediation agencies OF the
government or to such other consti-
tuted agencies as may exist to the end
that such questions may be adjusted
in an orderly and equitable manner to
avoid the stoppage Of industries which
are go vital to the interests OF the
nation at this critical time"
IL is the Judgment of the council.
says the statement that the federal,
state and municipal governments
should continue to maintain the usual
hoI a. abor and standards Of safety,
sanitation and inspection. The council
further asks that no wage changes be
sought at this time by strikes or lock-
outs without at least giving establish
ed agencies an opportunity to adjust
difficulties.
In explanation or its statement That
the council may find it necessary to
make adjustments the council says:
while the council does not mean to
intimate that under ordinary circum-
stances the efficiency of workers is
the only element that should be taken
into consideration in fixing the hours
of labor, safety, sanitation, women's
work and child labor standards, 1t is
the object that must be attained dur,
ing the period when the nations safety
is involved.

Fargo by the Equity Cooperative ex-
change-but so far. the gathering has

however, I'll. L. Halvorson. Sheyenne,
moved that an afternoon executive
session be held for the purpose OF
talking matters over"
That meeting was scheduled for 2
o'clock at the auditorium. but during
the noon hour word was passed among
the Equity visitors that the audi
torium wasn't available, and that the
meeting would be held at the Equity
Co-operators' Herald building, on
Roberts street.
Equity forces are divided in the sup-
port OF the Nonpartisan league. The
recent attack by The Co-operators
Herald on the league leaders action
in forcing the veto OF the terminal
elevator bill raised the issue on which
Equity people are dividing their
support and antagonism to the league.

Entente Allies Convinced Of

Common End"
BALFOUR MAKES
VITAL STATEMENT
Would Not Think of Asking
this Country to Enter
Formal Alliance.
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, April 25.-Arthur James
Balfour, British foreign secretary,
stated today that the allied govern
ments, completely convinced of Amer
ica's wholehearted conservation to-
ward the common - end of destroying
Prussian militarism, would not think
of asking this country to depart from
it's traditional policies or enter into
any formal alliance which might prove
embarrassing.
Our confidence in the alliance and
assurances OF this government" Mr..
Balfour said. ''is not based on such
shallow considerations as arise from
treaties. No treaty would increase our
unbounded confidence that the United
States, having come into the war, will
see 1t through to the great end we all
hope for"
Mr.. Balfour after his first two days
in the American capital consented to
an interview to express his deep gra-
titude for the warmth Of his reception
and his conviction that Americas SER
vices in the war could not be exagger-
ated. He spoke with deepest feeling Of
the losses already experienced in
France and England and of the graft
tude felt in both countries at the de-
cision of the United States to enter
the war. -E
