Near the windup of the last session
of the, Minnesota legislature, rule
was invoked in the senate permitting
each senator to call up = bill for con-
sideration. In most cases. each solol
chose, a, measure OF especial Importance
to hi. constituents, with THO evident
object Of gaining the favor>,:ot the
"folks back hops.'' i:
In the upper" house there was strong
opposition to the anti-injunction bill
which had been introduced ut tho be-
hest of the officers Of the Minnesota
State Federation Of Labor, and it
seemed unlikely that any senator;
would have the temerity to push the
passage of the bill in the face Of the
apparent sentiment. All Indications
were that the legislation 80 much de
sired by organized. labor. was doomed
to an igneminous death. -: -.
At this psychological time ap-:
peared stalwart and indomitable
champion OF the cause Of labor. Sen
ator Riehard Jones Of Duluth, who
was willing TO- subserve his personal
interests and make q supreme sacri-
fee, that tho thousands Of organ
lied workers throughout the state
might obtain legal protection against
the vicious workings. Of the in.
junction. /
Senator Jones, who enjoyed un-
usual respect in the senate because
Of his integrity, straightforwardness
and fearlessness, overcame the
strong opposition to the bill and sue
ceeded in mastering enough votes
to enact 1t into law, to the gratifica-
ton Of all those who have the VEL
fare Of labor at heart.
| For some reason or other the
senator failed to receive the thanks
and appreciation Of labor for his
services to the extent which he 80
ably merited. The labor movement
cannot afford to be insracious.
Credit should be given where it is
justly deserved.

THE /. w. w. AND THE
UNSKILLED WORKER.

One of the arguments advanced
by the I. w. W. against the Amer
lean Federation of Labor is that no
attention is paid to the unskilled
workers; that they are permitted to
drift for themselves without being
given any assistance from the organ
lied workers.
This statement is as untrue as
most of the other charges made
against the A. F. of l.. Why, there
is one union in Chicago, the building
laborers, having more paid-up men,
bers than there are paid-up members
Of the Industrial Workers of the
World throughout the country.
The longshore workers, all So
called unskilled workmen, are or
ganized under the American Fedora
ton of Labor on the Great Lakes,
the Atlantic coast, the Cult of Mex
leo and the Pacific coast. In any
instances they have, through iheir
organizations, raised their wages
above and secured conditions better
than many organized skilled work
ers. They have greatly improved
their social status by the adoption
of the sane and sensible policy of
the American trade union move
ment.
A union of so-called unskilled
workmen formed and conducted
along trade union lines has more
stability and is capable of getting
better results for its members than
any other kind Of labor organization
on earth. A striking example of this
is found in the Organization of rail-
road maintenance-of-way employees
on many American, railroads, par
ticularly in Canada. These are in
some respects migratory workers,
but they have shown that by the
application Of practical trade union
methods they can obtain for them
selves every result and every benefit
enjoyed by the organized engine
men, foremen, conductors and brake
men.

Will USE
TRUCKS IN
FUTURE
A. B. Clancy Says Motor
Freight Carriers Will Ex-
coed Pleasure Cars.

prior to the advent Of the automo-
bile there were two or more horse
drawn vehicles carrying freight to
every one used as a pleasure vehicle"
said A. B. Clancy, manager of the
truck department Of the International
Harvester Co., this city, today. THE
breeding and improvement Of draft
horses was one Of the worlds greatest
industries. While the breeding and i'm
provement of fancy driving and race
horses was an industry of no mean
proportions, and while horse racing
was known as the sport of kings still
in point of numbers and amount Of
money invested, it was a mere baga-
telle compared with the total number
and value of draft horses. When, how
ever, the automobile became not only
a success, but ruling passion, the
race horse and fast roadster became
of less importance each year, until
now they have practically disappeared
from the roads and highways, and the
elegant horse drawn equipage that
formerly graced our city parks has
disappeared.
THE automobile industry, however,
has been almost entirely developed
along the lines of pleasure cars. In
seeking a cause for these changes it
may be readily attributable to several
| considerations, one Of the most i'm
portant Of which is the fact Of the
new and delightful experience Of trav-
cling at speed never before equaled
except by an express train. Another
reason was that excursions could be
taken over country roads and high
ways, thereby bringing many other
wise inaccessible and out-of-the-way
places within easy reach of city dwell
ers and tourists. II is immaterial
whether or not the pleasure car BUSH
ness has reached it's zenith and is
now about to decline. or whether the
saturation point has been reached or
is far In the distance.
1.-THE one big fact that is beginning
to awaken unusual interest in the
minds OF manufacturers as well as
dealers Is that the hauling and trans
portation of the entire agricultural
and manufacturing products of 100,-
100000 people In the United States
alone must be provided for. While
there are registered in the state of
North Dakota a large number Of plea
sure vehicles, there are only a small
number of motor trucks registered, and
more than two thirds of the cars
registered, as commercial vehicles are
pleasure cars which are being used
with improvised bodies as motor
trucks.
Unless the entire history of the
Woriu Is 10 % reNeFSeuf the Ilhe 10
not far distant when there will be two
or more motor trucks registered for
every pleasure car registered. This
may be accomplished not by decreas-
ing or retarding the progress Of the
pleasure car business, but by the de-
lvelopment of the motor truck industry,
which will require more and greater
factories to build them. a larger
amount of capital to be invested and
far greater number Of dealers to
distribute them.

To Kill Livestock and Supply
Germany With Meat,
Allies Hear
Sweden Likewise
Considers Reprisal
Plans to Exchange Iron Ore
for Wheat With Teuton
Powers
lsur Corrsspmdsnosl

WASHINGTON, Oct. At was said
day in diplomatic circles that, in an
effort to force England to raise the
embargo. just declared, against the
Scandinavian countries and Holland.
and, moreover, to force America to
raise her embargo against food ship
ments to Holland. the Dutch govern
ment had become bellicose and threat
ened to furnish Germany with a sufh-
cient supply Of meat 70 last her
through the winter. Added to this
threat from the Netherlands was an
other one from Sweden that she would
arrange for plentiful supply Of wheat
from Germany in exchange for iron
ore.
These two countries are the ones
against which both the British and
American embargoes have been chiefly
directed, and the opinion is expressed
here that the British embargo. follow
ing on the practical embargo declared
by this country in July, is now having
the effect Of forcing them to show un-
mistaksbly their true colors.
The threat from Holland comes in
the form Of a statement that that coun-
try will soon be obliged, on account OF
the shortage Of feed for her herds, TO
kill off a large part of the livestock IN
the country. In a roundabout way the
Netherlands Legation let it be known
to-day that the slaughter would ap-
proximate 95 per cent of the sheep,
10 per cent Of the hogs, 20 per cent OF
the young cattle and so per cent OF the
young horses in the country. To this
was added the statement that as Hol-
land does not possess cold storage IA
cilities the meat thus forced on the
Dutch market could not be kept, and
would be sold to the highest bidder.
Germany being the probable purchaser.
The supply OF meat Germany would
thus receive, il was added, would be
more than sufficient to carry her
through the winter.
Having enunciated the threat so un
it is then remarked that the
Dutch government is seeking merely to
maintain it's rights as neutral. and is
not now pursuing, nor ever has pur-
sued, a policy preiudicial to either
group Of belligerents. The final SEN
tence in this interesting declaration is
10 the effect that Holland is ready to
come to terms with the United States
concerning shipping, having a large
amount OF available tonnage"
Sweden lets 1t be known that she has
been offered a large amount of wheat
by Germany. The exchanges in regard
10 the offer have not been concluded,
but it is thought likely that. being cut
off from the American supply, an ar
rangement would be made between
Berlin and Stockholm whereby the Ger
man government would obtain Swedish
iron ore for her wheat.

German Raiders Seize
Ships in South Pacific
Master of Captured Schooner, Escaping From
Island Tells of New Operations of Seeadler's
Crew With Captured Vessel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Operations
of two German raiders in the Southern
Pacific were revealed tonight in a dis
patch to the Navy Department from
Tutuila. Samoan Islands. 1t tells Of
of the arrival there in an open boat
Of Hador Smith, master of the missing
American schooner c. Slade. with a
story Of how the famous Seeadler had
stranded on Mopeha Island after de-
stroying three American schooners
and how members of the German crew
had set out for further depredations
on commerce on other captured yes
sells.
The Navy Department issued this
statement:
"The master Of the American
schooner c. Slade arrived in an open
boat at this island with three other
men from Mopeha Island. which they
left September 10. The master. Hador
Smith. states that his vessel was capt
ured by the German raider Seeadler
on June Il. The schooner was de-
stroyed by burning and the entire crew
was taken aboard the raider.
Smith further states that the See
Adler captured, on June IA, the Amer
lean schooner A. B. Johnson, and on
July the American schooner Manila.
The Manila was destroyed by dynamite,
after which the See Adler proceeded to
Mopena Island, the westward island Of
the Society Group, arriving there July
81. On August 2, the See Adler
stranded. and was abandoned as a total
loss. The commanding officer Of the
See Adler left August u in a motor
sloop. with machine guns. rifles. bombs
and about two months supplies, ac-
companied by three officers and two
men.
ION September 8. the French
schooner Lutece, bound out of Takiti

LONDON, Oct. I--1he British troops
moved forward a. dawn this morning
on the eight-mile front between the
Ypres-Menin road and the Langemarck,
the scene Of the great struggle for su-
premacy during the last three weeks
The Reuter- correspondent at British
headquarters in France telegraphs to-
night:
To-day Is one OF the great days in
army annals. The victory Is being pro-
claimed as one Of the greatest since
the Marne."
Penetrating the German defenees to
the average depth Of mile. Haig's SOL
diers swept over the vital positions on
the crest Of the Zonnebeke Passchen-
daele Ridge, dominating the Flemish
plains and the railroad system linking
Ostend and Lille, and captured more
than 1900 prisoners.
The village Of Broodseinde was over
run and the attackers established them
, selves on the Gravenstafel Ridge. To
the north they reached the outskirts Of
Poelcapelle.
British guns now dominate the rail
roads that supply the submarine bases
at Ostend and Zeebrugge, and the whole
German defensive area in Flanders has
been exposed to such a threat that a
withdrawal seems inevitable.
Field Marshal Haig reports to-nisht:

and positions Of great Importance have
been won"

See Adler's crew, who Immediately
left on the schooner with machine
guns, supplies, rifles and bombs, leav-
ing behind them twenty-seven white
men ana seventeen native prisoners
from the See Adler, marooned on Mo-
peha Island. These men are in great
need Of food and water"
The Seeadler ran the British block
ade early this year with orders, it Is
said, to stay at sea until she was capt
ured or sunk or the war was ended.
She is known to have sunk eleven ships
in the Atlantic before she transferred
her attention to the Pacific.
This famous raider is believed to be
the American bark Pass of Balmaha. a
vessel of 1871 tons gross. which was
taken into Cuxhaven By a Ger nan prize
crew in August, 1915.
First news Of the Seeadler's ac-
tivities was received here when the
French bark Cambronne put into Rio
de Jsneiro late in March with 2s5 men
from the raiders victims and reported d
that eleven or more merchantmen had
been sunk by Count Ukner.
