BUSINESS MEN OF GRAND FORKS
READY TO ORGANIZE FOR HOME
DEFENSE; CALL MEETING SOON

With the departure Of Company ri
and the Machine Gun company prob
ABLY within a weeks time, residents
OF Grand Forks have turned their at
tention to home defense, and although
no definite action has been taken to
start an organization, the sentiment
mas become so strong that it appears
ilmlnary meeting will be called.
Grand Forks business and profess
sional men have signifed their will
ngness to aid in p~erfecting a home
guard contingent to take the place Of
the military companies. No danger
a been f~orecasted, but emergencies
may arise, with which the police off,
Gals and sheriffs would be unable to
COPE, which would necessitate the CO.
operation Of an organized force to
protect the morals of the city, and
possibly lives Of residents Of the
county.
Should Organize Soon.
Several prominent residents were
interviewed this morning to tap the
sentiment Of those who would be x
pected to volunteer their services.
United In the one belief that Grand
Forks should be given adequate pro-
lection through q home defense So
ciety, the business men declared to a
iiA4I tAAdI lll0f 6tCp W OTRaHlZ0 COulQ
not be taken too soon.
That there will be an I. w. W. dis
tufbance in this district this fall Is
not given credence, but in case labor
troubles did arise the business men
believe h a a strong organization
would be a means for bringing about
a speedy and amicable settlement.
The fact that some drilling would
be necessary, is also looked upon by
the hylaSnnco man 40 q on01 th{~or
Those interviewed did not fear a little
hard work, and some even hailed the
venture as a lark in which consider
able superf1uous avoirdupofs might be
lost.
Mayor in Favor.
Mayor James A. Dinnie when in
terviewed said: "Of course Grand
FORKS should have a home guard con-
tingent. Cur militia boys will be
!e1vlng in a short time and the city
will be left entirely without protec-
.'on as far as an organization is con-
cerned. We should have taken ac-
q some time ago but it is not too
late yet. I certainly will support any
movement to organize and will be
among the members If they will let
me join.
81. w. W. members may cause some
trouble for which we should be pre-
pared, but the disturbance from this
source is not all. We can never tell
just what will turn up at any time
and we should be prepared for any
emergency"
Hunter for 1t.
A. I. Hunter, president Of the First
National bank: Il have MOI given tho
subject much thought but I do believe
that we should be protected by such
an organization I do not anticipate
any trouble but I am willing TO Join
any organization to protect the city
after the departure Of the militia
boys. I don't think that Grand Forks
will be troubled by any I. w. w. out
breaks but other things may arise,
and it appears probable that disturb
ances may develop"
Wineman vii Join.
Attorney j. B. Wineman: Ger
tainly we should have a home guard
organization for the protection of
Grand Forks and I will help all 7 can
to make it a success. Our soldier
boys are leaving soon and we will be
left without any Means Of protection

FOOD BILL NOW
UP TO SENATE
Conference Report Approx
ed by House May
Hold up Upper Branch.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Conference
reports on both the administration
food control and food survey bills
were adopted virtually without oppo-
sition yesterday by the house. They
were taken up In the senate today, but
probably will be adopted before
Tuesday. Opposition by Senator Gore,
Democrat, chairman Of the agricul-
tIre committee, who may file a MINOR
ity report, now appears to be the only
dangerous stumbling block for them.
No Opposition.
Not a vote va recorded in the
house against the long disputed con-
ference report on the control bill. On
the survey measure the vote was vi
va voce, with only a few scattering
noes"
A patriotic appeal by Representa-
tive Kahn Of California, a Republican,
born IN Germany, was a feature Of the
debate. Amid applause from both
ides he urged united support of Pres
ident Wilson. He emphatically en-
dorsed the conferences action in elm
mating the senate war expenditures
committee amendment, opposed by
the president but favored by some
Republican house leaders.
II want to congratulate the house
conferees particularly for knocking
from this bill the provision for a
"snooping committee" said Mr.. Kahn.
The duty Of congress at present rs
to present a solid front in standing
behind the president. He will have
to give an account Of his stewardship
later. Let us not hamper him now"
Contrary to expectations, neither
the changes in the prohibition Sec
ton, nor the elimination Of the war
expenditures committee provision
caused much discussion, Representa-
tive Barley Of Kentucky, one Of the
dry leaders, declared his satisfaction
with the revised prohibition section,
which would prohibit manufacture of
distilled liquors and give the president
power to commander liquor and to
prohibit the making of beer and wines.
