Influence of State War Board Felt
in Keeping Prices Down to
Reason

The reading public Of the state has
no doubt followed closely the course
of events in the investigation Of prices
of milk, bread and foodstuffs as in
istituted by the Public Safety Com
mission according to a resolution of
fered by Vice Chairman G. H. March
and adopted at its meeting July 3,
1917.
Ever since that time the special
food committee consisting of Col C..
II. March, G. E. Lawson and w. s..
Moscrip have been busy with exhaus-
tive investigation and public hear
ings. The net result has been the
fixing of prices of milk, which for a
time threatened to soar we'll up to-
wards the 15-cent mark or higher,
the reduction in bread prices and a
salutary effect in the prices of many
other food commodities which would
have undoubtedly gone to prohibitive
prices but for the fact that this reso-
luton had served notice to specula-
The Redwood gazette., 1917-12-26

tors that nothing of that sort of
"profteering" would be permitted in
Minnesota.
The food investigation activities of
the Commission have had splendid re-
suits and the fact that all parties
were given an opportunity to present
their side of the matter has inspired
confidence in the patriotism and fair
dealing of the Commission and its H.
G. L. committee.
This has proven most important
and valuable feature of the Commits
sion's. work and surely resulted in
keeping hardship and actual want
from the homes of large class of
people of small means, as we'll as
making it possible for the large ma
jority to exercise economy and fru-
gality in their living expenses. The
producers and dealers have also thus
been able to adjust themselves with
intelligence and security to depend
able market conditions, preventing
loss and uncertainty by reason of
fuctuating and unreliable market
conditions.
These facts are worth considera-
tion by the public and when the read
er pauses to contemplate the possible
condition of affairs, had matters been
allowed to go on without hindrance
or restraint, he begins to realize the
value of the work done by the food
investigation committee, backed by
the powers of the Commission of
Public Safety.

FOUND NEAR WILLMAR.
An Unidentified Man Discovered Near
City Frozen to Death

The body of a dead man, whose
identity is as yet unknown, was found
yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon on the
Crasswell farm west Of the city linn
its by Ed. Anderson. the farmer who
rents the place. Mr.. Anderson was
going after a load Of hay when he
made the gruesome find on the hay
meadow west of his place.
He called coroner B. j. Branton,
who on examination of the body and
circumstances, decided that the man
had probably frozen to death.
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken Andrew Peterson, at
whose undertaking rooms it is yet
lying, pending possible Identification.
The poor man evidently had strayed
from the road and maybe was max
ing for hay stack which stood not
so very far from where he was found.
He had evidently fallen forward, for
he lay on his knees with his face on
the ground. There were no letters
or other writing in his pockets by
which he might have been identified.
The only thing found was some fifty
dollars in money and an advertising
card Of some saloon at Green Isle,
MINI. "A large number of people
have been viewing the remains, but
no one has been able to identify the
same at this writing. Many believe
| they have seen the man on our streets
| lately, but he was unknown to all.
He was a man Of about so years
of age, feet inches in height, black
hair tinged with gray, weighed 160
pounds, has thick lips but no beard OF
mustache. He wore red mackinaw
coat and new overalls. His shoes
rubbers and cap were new and slight

One of the other boys and | pinned
our cards together and were invited
to the same place. Well we. found
the place which looked ike 4 big
park, surrounded by stone wall. We
mustered up our courage, approached
the home and rang the bell. The maid
met us at the door and we learned
that they were expecting US for din
ner. Inside the door the butler met
us and relieved US of our coats and
hats and then announced us to the
family after which formality we were
ushered into the living room.
We found ourselves in the home
of a millionaire. Mrs. j. Hood Wright
was our host. She had three mar
ried daughters and their husbands
present and one Of them has son
in the engineer corps at Washington,
ID. e., and he was also there. Ore of
her daughters was a Mrs. Markile
and the other Mrs. Conyngham. The
latter has a submarine boat named
after her (the U-58). They are peo-
pie who have travelled all through
Europe and Mr.. Markile knows the
Kaiser and all the prominent people
of Europe and is very much against
the Germans in the present war.
Well when it came time for dinner
which was served at 1880 in the even
ing, Mrs. Markile took my arm and
we lead the procession into the din
ing room. The table was elaborately
decorated with flowers and fruit and
everything was served to perfection
by two buffers. First we had high
ball, then soup and salted nuts which
was served in small individual con-
tainers, made Of silver and shaped
like a turkey. Next came olives, eel
cry and radishes. Then something
else which resembled a rarebit. This
was followed by turkey, dressing,
cranberry jell and baked potatoes
which were all cut into small cylinder
shapes about v inches long and
inch in diameter. Then came hot
mince pie and cheese which was fol
lowed up with ice cream. The ice
cream was served in ball about the
size Of baseball. The dish that
they were held in was a pumpkin
neatly decorated and cut. Candy anc
the finger bowls finished the meal
After the meal the women folks re.
tired to the living room and we mer
folks stayed for coffee and smokes
The coffee was served in small cups
about the size Of whisky glass.
Well, strange to say we enjoyed i
very much. They made US feel righ1

IMMIGRATION
BILL NOW LAW

On Monday, January 20, President
Wilson vetoed the Burnett immigra-
ton restriction bill.
On February 1, the House rejected
the veto by vote of 287 to LOG, or
20 more than the necessary two-thirds
vote.
In his message to the House, where
the bill originated, President Wilson
objected to the literacy test section
because at constitutes a radical
change in the policy of the nation
which is not justified in principle"
The veto was passed upon by the
Senate on February 5. That body
approved the bill December Id last
by a vote of 81 to Z. 1t passed the
House March 80 by vote of BOT to
I87.
On Monday the 9Th the Senate
adopted the bill by overriding the
Presidents veto by vote of 81 to 10.
During the last two decades the
Senate and House, by overwhelming
majorities, have voted for literacy
test at every opportunity. In 1907
Congress created a federal immigra-
ton commission to study this question
and after thorough investigation
eight of the nine members of the COM
mission recommended the adoption Of
the literacy test as the most practical
means for restricting, limiting anc
better regulating immigration.
On three other occasions this bill
has been vetoed by chief executives

THOUGHTFUL REVIEW
OF INTERNATIONAL
LABEL LEAGUE WORK

The Woman's International Union
Label League accomplished much dur
ing the year 1916 and starts the new
year with hope of advancement. The
Woman's Label League Journal says:
We are just entering new year, a
year full of promise for our organiza-
ton and for the entire labor move
ment.
AS we look back over the year 1916
let us take an inventory, as it were,
of our MISTAKES and our achieve
ments. And not by resolution alone,
but with determination that 1917
shall be void of mistakes, and full of
achievements, let US forge ahead.
The workers are fast beginning to
understand the great social and econ
omic value inherent in the union label.
The increasing agitation and result
ant demand for union label products
are evidences Of the workers growing
conception of the great social and
commercial values of their purchas-
ing power, when organized in a sys-
tematic and organized fashion.
That the work of our organization
is of special value in this field must
be admitted by all. The magnitude
of this field extends to every home,
where hearts beat in sympathy for
humanity. Not that soothing SYM
pathy of pity, but practical SYM
pathy, an honest sympathy.
The labor movement has been rather
slow to realize its purchasing power
and has been busy with every other
phase of the great industrial question,
and still there are those who are SEEM
ingly blind to their duties when spend
ing the money they earn under union
conditions.
There is general awakening, and
to day many of our international I'M
ions are giving much of their time
and energy to keeping their label in
the minds of the people.
When organized labor failed to see
the need of organizing and directing
its purchasing power, the value of
this work was not overlooked by
others. Numerous attempts and many
experiments have been made in this
direction in the past. Cooperative
movements, consumers leagues and
associated efforts of a like nature
have been primarily inspired by the
desire to socialize and commercialize
