Question of Forcing Walla

AS Yet
CRv Associated Press.l

Bismarck, n. D., Nov. 12.-Little
headway was made in the preliminary
examination of Thomas Hall, secre-
tary of state, charged with the en-
bezzlement of automobile registra-
tion funds, this morning.
Miss Mabel Amiot. who has served
las stenographer and chief clerk to
Mr.. Hall for the last eight years,
while he was secretary to the rail-
way commissioners and later as sec
retary of state, denied that she had
ever loaned Mr.. Hall any money, or
that she had been asked to loan him
money.
DR.. C. C. Hibbs testified he had
learned through the newspapers that
Sir. Hall was in trouble; and quoted
.C. II. Olson as saying, IN a conversa-
tion, that things looked tough and
new things were turning up right
along, and that he, Hibbs, suggested
that 1t was up to the fellows to take
care of Hall''. and that he offered Oh
son $50 for the secretary of state.

Thomas Hall. an invasion of the co.
stitutionaI rights of his client, judge
II. T. Burke advised the court he.
would resort to habeas corpus, If
necessary, to prevent the state from
carrying out the intention of "ob-
tanning indirectly what the attorney
general admitted could not be OBJ.
tained directly"
.Objections overruled.
Police Magistrate Bleckreid, after
overruling Judge Burke's objection,
gave him until today to present fur
ther arguments in support Of his
claims, or TO prepare to rescue his
client from the witness stand through
a writ OF habeas corpus. The. state
insists that Mr.. Walla be called. I'VE
intend to get at the exact truth in
this case, no matter whom it may
hurt in the end" said Brennan.
The state devoted its examination
during Saturday afternoon to lines
by which it sought to offer further
proof that currency was not deposit
ed daily as were checks and drafts
received by the registration depart
ment but was allowed to accumulate
until there was a daily balance on
hand and carried over from month
TO month Of 1900 to $4,000.

state examiner testified he found
there should have been 8 balance on

Annual Report of Execu-

Federation, Submitted
UNION LABOR rs
WITH GOVERNMENT
Discusses the Possibility Of
Conscription of Labor

CIV Associated prassN

Buffalo, n. Y. Nov. IL. - Demand
for. "adequate and direct" representa-
ton OF wage earners at the World
Peace conference is made in the an
nual report OF the executive council
OF the American Federation of Labor,
submitted today to the federation in
convention here. The report
declares that the world war must
wipe out all vestiges of the old COM
ceit that the nation belongs to the
ruler" .. ~
Questions raised by the war occupy
virtually the entire report. No room
is left for doubt that the United
States government has the unani-
nous support Of organized American
labor in the war, and it is asserted
with equal emphasis that the vital
interests OF the average citizen de-
mand that he have a voice in the
readjustments to come with the
dawn OF peace. ts.-
Optimism over labor achievements
in the last year Is tempered with a
warning that benefits obtained from
emergency opportunities must be
based on principles OF human well
fare and not the result OF taking
advantage of the nation's necessity.
Freedom of expression is upheld, but
the report says those who abuse the
freedom OF the press to undermine
the nations free institutions should
be punished as traitors.
Labor and the War.
President Wilson's war address to
congress is included in the report.
with the declaration adopted by a
meeting of union officials last March
when 1t was seen TO be inevitable
that the European c0nfiagration
would spread TO America. Under the
heading Labor and the War, the
report says:
Under all circumstances 1t Is the
duty Of any government to protect
its people against wilful and whole

All Bakeries Must Have
Government License and
Observe Rules
FANCY BREADS
ARE ELIMINATED
Loaves in Four Sizes and all
Ingredients Are Pre-
scribed II
(By Assoeiated Press.l


Washington, Nov. 12.--Steps to
standardize bread and lower its
price were taken today wnen Presi-
dent Wilson issued a proclamation
placing all bakeries under govern
ment license. Dec. 10 and subjecting
them to food administration rules
prescribing ingredients and weights
of loaves. Prices will not be fixed,
but with the standardization ii is
expected that competition and sim
plitication of distribution will force
down prices for pound loaves to z or
cents.
Fancy breads will be eliminated
and the many sizes now produced
will be reduced to four with stand
ard ingredients. The weights will
be one pound, one and half, two
and four pounds. Loaves will have a
crease in the middle to permit their
sale in halves.
In baking, only three pounds of
sugar will be allowed for a barrel Of
-four, instead OF an average of six
pounds now used, and two pounds Of
vegetable oil shortening must be
used instead of six pounds of lard
or oil. The food administration ex-
poets to save I00, 0,000,0e0 bounds of
sugar, and the same amount Of lard
in this way,
Only SKINNED Milk.
Bakers may use only skimme%
milk for bread. and rolls will be per-
mitted only if made in standard
sizes and of regulation bread dough.
Through the cooperation of the
kaking industry and with the back
ing of the licensing system, Food
Administrator Hoover hopes to work
reforms in the present method OF
distribution from wholesale bakeries
to retailers and. from retailers TO
customers. He will urge grocers TO
buy regular quantities, limiting their
purchases to a single bakery IN
stead OF buying from four or hVe,
and to make lower charges to Gus
toners who pay cash and carry their
goods home. Under "the cash and
carry" basis. he says, bread can be
sold at a profit OF one cent loaf.
An attempt will be made TO get
wholesalers. to sell direct TO GUS
toners.
Furthermore, a standard weight
will protect the consumer. The
tendency now is to adjust the weight
to the cost Of the bread in an en-
deavor TO maintain unit Of price. II
the bread in the country is Of fixed
weights, the consumer will be able to
determine at once the cheaper
bread.
The administration considers COM
merciaI bakeries OF three types:
Those selling to retailers, those
baking bread for chain stores OF
their own management and the
small bakers sselling direct to con-
sumers. The greatest reform in dis
tribution probably can be offered in
the first class, Of which the whole I
