WILL Be FACTOR
IN BIC CONFERENCE
James Duncan Urged by Gompers
to COOPERATE With Russian
Workers Council.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-James
Duncan, first vice-president of the
American Federation of Labor, will
nave a hand in the conference called
by the Russian council of Workmen's
and Sellers Delegates, in Petrograd,
to consider the calling Of a worldwide
congress of the socialist bodies and
The labor declarations. A cablegram
urging him to take part was sent by
President Gompers the other day. In
this message Mr.. Gompers made clear
his view that while conference was
worth while, no. discussion of terms
of peace could be tolerated by the
American labor movement so long as
the military autocracy of the Central
PoWers@w not destroyed. He said
that the American workers stand for
the establishment and maintenance of
democracy throughout the world, and
will not agree to peace with any des-
potism.
This message brings the American
labor movement into the scale of in
ternational working-c1ass politics,
which recently have ben greatly in
fluenced by the Russian workers. Mr..
Duncan, who had so lively a clash
with the French delegates at the in
ternational labor congress at Buda-
pest before the war, will probably
now find himself engaged in warm
debate with Russian and. Finnish
radicals, and possibly with some of
the Swedes and Dutch who are anx-
ious to end the war. He will demand
that the labor movement Of Europe
put itself behind the allies, for the i'm
mediate overthrow of the kaiser, as
the only safe method Of improving
the position of the wage-earners in all
countries. He will make plea for
democracy as the basis of all working
class security, and will ask the Rus
slams to show the Americans how
they can ever feel secure while the
German junker class retains its hold
on central Europe.
This conference will be quite as In
teresting as the one which the Rus
sian high commission, now In this
country, will have with our officials
in Washington when it offers the pro-
posals Of Kerensky for the future CO.
operation Of the two great republics.

EARLY CLOS|NC| IS
DEMANDED BY TWO
HARBORS CLERKS
Council Threatens to Pass Ordin-
ance Unless Merchants Live
Up to Agreement.

Word comes from Two Harbors
that the Retail Clerks union has Pc
t1tioned the city council to enact an
ordinance requiring the merchants of
that city to close at uniform hour.
Union representatives asserted that
previously no ordinance was neces-
sary because of the fact that all
merchants were living up to a mere
request Of the union, until one man
"bucked" and kept his store open
after hours Then other merchants
began to break away from the agree
ment.
The clerks petition was referred to
the city attorney, who was instructed
to draft an ordinance covering the
cubject-ma Of tn clerks request.

MAKING IDLENESS
CRIMINAL

West Virginia has just adopted "a
law which requires that every able
bodied man work at least sc hours a
week. The penalty for violation is
either Jail or Punishment from the
state.
It may seem at first glance to some,
that this law is beneficent one,
which will rid the state of worthless
idle characters. But or closer inspec-
ton it may appear otherwise.
Let it be noted that the law penal
ICES none but the idle man. It does
not affect the man who witholds an
opportunity from the willing worker.
So it really puts the man out of jot
more than ever at the mercy Of the
opportunity holder. IF enforced, the
law will take from workers the right
to hold out for better terms, should
they feel THAT may be offered them
to be unjust.
Let us suppose there should be Il
strike or a lockout in West Virginia. s
coal fields The owners Of the co Il
deposits would violate no law, no mat
ter how long they might within I'D
them from use. But the workers could
be jailed for idleness within a week.
The unfairness of such a situation is
obvious.
If West Virginia would legislate so
as to penalize withholding of oppor
tunities from labor, there would be
little trouble concerning idle men. Nor
would it be necessary to enact a GRIM
inal law for idle opportunity holders.
All that would be necessary would be
to resort to the taxing power of the
state. A heavy tax on land values
would necessitate use of land to make
ownership profita BILE. That would
open opportunities to labor. Then
will be time enough to consider need
Of legislating against idle men.

LOSE POPULAR GIRL
Who BECOMES BRIDE

Miss Christina Davidson of Sutton
N. Oak. Miss Marguerite Rudiselle
and Theodore Rudiselle, sister and
brother of the groom, acted as brides
maid and best man, and, Josephine
youngest sister Of the groom, was the
dainty ring bearer. Relatives and q
few intimate friends only witnessed
the ceremony. The brides parents
were detained at home by sickness in
the family.
The bride was very dainty and
sweet in her going away gown, q
suit of snuff colored wool velour with
purple trimmings, the suit waist being
of Georgette of a lighter contrasting
shade, embroidered in silver beads.
She wore a becoming large hat of
silver lace and purple velvet and car
ried bouquet Of pink rosebuds. Her
bridesmaid, Miss Rudiselle, wore a
handsome gown of dark blue satin and
a white picture hat, and her flowers
were also pink rosebuds. Little jose
phine was all in white with white
moline hair bow, and she bore a
basket of lovely pink rose buds, one
of which held in its heart the wedding
ring.
Following the beautiful and impress
sive ceremony, the bridal party re-
paired to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. II. Rudiselle, parents of the groom,
on Fourth Avenue West, where sew
eral course wedding breakfast was
served. The table decorations were
beautiful white chrysanthemums.
Covers were laid for twelve.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Rudiselle
slipped away on No. 4 for short
honeymoon trip, which will include St.
Paul and Minneapolis, a visit to the
brides aunt at Eau Claire, Wis.,, and
stops in Fargo and Mandan en- route
home. At Fargo they will meet her
parents.

ways lived in Dickinson. Here he was

a position with the N. P. since which
time promotions have come to him
frequently. Here he enjoys the con-
fidence and esteem of a large circle
of friends.

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Davidson Of

Cooperstown, this state, and came to
Dickinson nearly three years ago,
when for two years she held a re-
sponsible position in G. T. Langley's
office, resigning in May to accept
place on the Golden Rule force. Her
winning personality and sweet dispo
sition, coupled with efficiency in what
ever she undertakes, have won her a
large place among the people of the
city of her adoption, and many are the
friends who are glad her future home
will be here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudiselle have one of
the Parker flats cozily furnished and
upon their return, about Thanksgiving
time, will begin housekeeping there.
Their friends generously remem-
bered them with many valuable
