FACULTY DECIDES.
TO CONTINUE WORK
EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE UNI
VERSITY WILL REMAIN
OPEN

At a meeting of the university fac
ulty last night, it was decided that
the commencement plans for the 1917
class be allowed to remain as'they are;
most of the senior men who will not be
here in June have already left school
and since it has been decided that in
all probability the university will re-
main open for the rest of the regular
session, it was thought unwise to al
low any greater disruption in univer-
sity affairs than has already been. suf-
fered Commencement. week will
therefore be the first week in June
as it was originally scheduled
A census of the university men was
taken previous to the meeting of the
faculty, and it was discovered as a ba
sis for faculty action, that over so per
cent of the men wish to remain in col
lege until the close of the semester.
The law school shows the greatest de-
crease in attendance the agricultural
college will doubtless lose over half
of it's enrolment, while in the college
of letters and science less than 20 per
cent of the men wish to leave to go
into military service at this time.

LOSING JOBS
Why do men lsoe jobs?

Why do men lsoe jobs?
 Because they're shiftless, and inefficient" per will reply. But modern inquiry deeper than that and asks why they shftless inefficient The subject is treated in novel way by Dr. Adler Boston specialist in mental diseases in article printed in the magazine Mental Hygiene. He carefully analysed 100 men who chemically unemployed with these suits:

Sooner later he either neglects his or becomes unpopular that he is discharged He on an average about 20 months
 Then come the men with inadequate personalities " constituting about 35 per cent of all They don't the antagOnsm of employers ad fellowworkmen; they're not positive enough that They merely fail to ni- themselves their jobs. They lack energy ap- pication and intelligence They weak futile persons They fired because they're not worth their wages.

 WASHINGTON, Mar. 21. - Presi- dent Gompers and Secretary Morris on of the American Federation of Labor presented to Attorney General Gregory today a protest against the declaration of the supreme court de cision in the Adamson case, in which the right of railroad employees is lim- ited by the public interest. The lab or leaders declared the court had gone out of it's way to inject this re- actionary" assertion into it's opinion. Later the following statement was given out with the approval of MT. GOmpers, at federation headquarters.
 The supreme court, by interpellat- ing into the law an argument before it for consideration, foreign matter, namely, denial to workers of the right 70 quit work in furtherance of their just and necessary rights. pointed out the way to those who wish to tie workers to their work in order to pro- tect the supposed convenience of the public
 MT. Gompers called attention to the splendid progressive and funda- mental declaration in both Mexico and Russia which are going through a period of danger and national stress, assuring 10 the workers of those countries the right to strike
 The opinion of the United States supreme court in connection with the Adamson decision belongs to the re- actionary despotism of Russian and Mexico and is out of harmony with the free institutions of this republic.

As to Fuel.

The coal situation is not any too
bright at this writing and desperate
efforts are being made on the part Of
the Commission Of Public Safety to see
that an adequate supply is sent to Min
nesota and the Northwest. 1t is we'll at
this time to call attention to the ad-
vantage Of laying in an extra supply of
wood to guard against the almost GER
tain coal shortage. Many families in
villages and rural communities can buy
wood nearby at reasonable prices and
instead Of waiting in uncertainty for
coal, every effort should be made to use
wood as far as possible in order to con
serve the coal supply now on hand.
Farmers can easily supply themselves
by shouldering AK and saw and secur-
ing their supply from their own timber
land. The coal question is avital one
to the Northwest and the Commission
of Public Safety urges stringent conser-
vation and the use Of substitutes to a
large degree, wherever possible.
