(By United Press)

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE labor
situation is causing governmental
alarm. War work is threatened to
such an extent that concerted cam
paign has been started to dispel the
unrest among the workers. The war.

"'VAG" NUISANCE TO -:

AWARD CONTRACT

bemlUJ1 now Has q VdSTduCy Or
sdinance similar to what is in vogue
in many cities and towns through
out Minnesota and sponsored by the
Public Safety Commission of the
state. The ordinance was passed
last evening by the city council, the
vote on its final passage being un-
animous.
Bills for several special police
whose time was turned in at So per
day were presented and the question
arose as to whether or not the coun-
Gil had the power to pay So day
for special police duty when the city
charter designates 81 as the maxi
mum wage for that work. However,
after little discussion it was decided
that it was impossible to hire men
at this time for less than SO per day
and the bills were allowed. The
mayor at this time requested that
the council give him their advice and
aid in every possible way in keep
ing the special police expense down.
On the advice of the street COM
mittee a motion was made and car
ried to have the sidewalk bridge at
the entrance to the Fifth ward re-
moved. The report of the light COM
mittee was read and on being accept
ed was put on file.

Goodman & Loitved was the only
one presented and it was accepted.
A blue print showing the posi-

south end of Mill Park to the Fifth
ward was presented to the council
by City Engineer Thomas Swinson
and on his suggestion the street
committee was requested to accom-
pany him to the place and more thor
oughly investigate the matter.
Conveyance for Police.
Mayor Vandersluis told the ,cOun-
Gil Of the excessive work before the
police department at this time and
suggested that an automobile OF
some kind be purchased for the use
of the department. The mayor stated
that Chief Ripple had calls to rush
from one end of the city to the other
many times daily and that in time
of a crisis a car would be of grest
aid to the department. 1t was point
ed out that the city covered an ex-
tensive area for it's population, the
city being six and half miles long.
A motion made by Alderman Smart
and seconded by Alderman Moberg
was carried instructing the city clerk
to advertise for bids for a car. The
bids will be opened at the next meet
ing and if any are acceptable the
council will very likely purchase
car.
The street committee was instruct
ed to investigate and report -on the
condition of Oak street and Missls-

Big PEACE MOVE
BY GERMANY THIS

(By United Press)

Washington, Aug. 7.-Germany
will make big peace move this fall,
officials believe, but they caution
that it will be as usual, a German
made proposal.
1t is admitted that the United
States will listen to a bona fide pro-
posal for peace now or any time but
from information here Germany has
no intention of making any such Of
fer and any she makes will probably
have a joker in it.
President Wilson discourages peace
talk at this time. He has let it be
known that we are in war and peace
talk would only becloud the issue.

JOIN THE RED CROSS.

A formal petition has been
sent to National Headquarters
for authority TO form Red Cross
Chapter to be known as the Full
on County Chapter of the Amer
lean National Red Cross. We are
not in a position to organize I'M
til this charter has been grant
ed but there is nothing to pre-
vent any person from becoming
a member of the Red Gross at
anytime By paying the annual
membership dues of $l.0O, one
becomes member at large or he
may be affiliated with some spe-
eific chapter.
The nation has been asked for
81 GOO, 100000 TO be subscribed
during the present Red Cross
Week, Louisville is proposing
10 raise at least $250,000. How
much can Fulton county raise
Surely we can contribute $1,000.
"A Thousand members of the Red
Cross would mean something and
that is a conservative number
for the entire county. Fulton is
already at work and has prom
ised cooperation
Membership in the Red Gross
does not obligate service of any
sort. As is known to most OF
us, there is a great deal of work
done through the executive
board of each chapter through
the two main divisions of Civilian
and Military Relief. Hickman
has had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve the splendid work done by
the Civilian branch.
Please remember that you are
asked to become a member and
that the service rests with you,
according to your individual in
clination and aptitude. No ser
vice is required according to the
by laws, but must be voluntary
if at all.
In other words, if you car
neither knit nor nurse, You car
do your bit-a tiny bit-by pay
ing a dollar.
At least 80 cents out of ev
cry dollar given the Red Gross
for relief work is spent for re
lief work. All accounts of the
Red Cross are audited by thu
