Outcome Of Minneapolis Confer.

CHARLES RUSSELL SCORES
PRO.GERMAN PAClr'lSYS

Minneapolis, Sept. 6.-The Amer
lean Alliance for Labor and Democ'
racy having disposed of their prelim-
mary work of organization today took
up plans for esta olishing local branch
es from coast to coast in the cam
paign to bring organized labor up sol
idly behind the government in the
prosecution of the war, and to stamp
out disloyal German societies.
Charles L. Russell, member Of the
American Mission to Russia and a
delegate to the Loyalty Conference of
the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy in formal statement to
the convention declared today the in
terest of the Russian people in the
war had been undermined by the ac-
tivities of certain members OF Con-
gress and certain pacifists or Organi-
cations.
80 Captured by U. S. Senator's.
"Riga was captured by United
States Senators LaFOllettc, Gronna
and Stone,' Mr. Russell asserted.
when" the kaiser gives out the declar-
alton of victory he should give full
credit to these three men. They and
the Peoples Council of America and
men like Mayor Thompson of Chicago
are doing more to prolong the war
and to slaughter American soldiers
than all the soldiers of the kaiser"
Labor Denounces Pacifists.
The statement followed the reading
of scores of kilograms from labor lead
ers in ell parts Of the country de-
nouncing pacifsts and pledging sup
port to the movement undertaken by
the Alliance to solidify labor in the
successful prosecution of the war.
ut is of the utmost possible import
ance that the Russian line should
hold. It. can be held only by the en-
ergy and interest of the Russian peo-
pie. The Russian army does not fight
because it is the will of the Car, but
because it is the will of the Russian
people. The interest of the Russian
people in this war has been steadily
undermined by certain Senator'S and
Representatives Of the United States.
+ Weakens the Allies.
Every disloyal resolution passed
by combination of German agents
who called themselves "A Peoples
Council of America, everytime the
mayor of the city of Chicago turns
over the city to disloyal meetings, it
is interpreted to the Russian people as
meaning that the United States does
not want to fight. 1t weakens the
faith of the Russian people in the
United States and encourages the feel
ing in Russia that the United States
is getting out of the war, and the
thing for Russia to do is to beat us
to separate peace. These are the
reasons why say that Riga was cap

Governor Frazier to take steps against
States Attorney Herigstad, Assistant

ficient to have him removed.

MISUNDERSTANDING, SAYS LADt


Fargo, N. D., Sept. 6.-"There must
be some misunderstanding on the part
of Congressman YOung,' said DR.. e. L.
Ladd, North Dakota's representative
on the federal wheat price fixing COM
mission, when shown the statement
made by Congressman Young to the
effect that the 1920 price on wheat
was not fixed price and would not
be maintained for the whole of the
1917 wheat crop.
That is absolutely contradictory to
the statement made by Mr.. Hoover" "
said DR.. ,Ladd. my understanding
from the statements of both Mr..
Hoover and Mr.. Barnes was that the
price fixed by the board would be the
one maintained by the government in
all its purchases, for our own use in
the army and the navy and for the
mills for furnishing the -four, and the
price for all the wheat purchased for
the allies which would be handled by
the grain purchasing corporation and
that this would be maintained, until
the price established by the act/itself
for the 1918 crop became effective in
July of that year. w. %@'+# @'
President Wilson gave the commit
tee to understand the same thing. I
can't say exactly what language he
used, but he certainly conveyed the
idea that this would be the establish
ed government price for wheat when
the commission waited on him to in
form him Of the fact that the commits.
sion had fixed the price at $2.2O.
