FARM LABOR is DISCUSSED
Keen Competition for Men Between
Wisconsin Industries Shown at
Meeting of Food Agents.

Madison-Keeping the right balance
between supply and demand of labor
for Wisconsin farmers in the coming
rush of food crop harvests was the
oVershadowing topic of the first gem
eral conference of county emergency
food agents just held here.
1t was plainly brought out at the
meeting, that in at least three distinct
sections of Wisconsin there is at pres
ent keen competition raging be-
tween certain industries in their bid
for available men. This, it is thought,
might tend to reduct the supply of
help which can be furnished to the
farmer during the busy midsummer
season
The mines of the southwestern coun-
ties, the factories of Milwaukee, and
the big special demand for a large
group of laborers and mechanics to
work on the military camp at Sparta.
seemed to present the biggest prob
lens to the farm recruiting officers.
The recommendation of the labor
committee, consisting strictly of active
food agents now in service, embodied
these points: That all agencies en-
gagged in soliciting farm labor should
be familiar with farming conditions;
that all demands for labor should first
come from the farmer themselves,
thus regulating the supply by the ac-
tual demand; that the agencies should
aim to cooperate with the regularly
organized county forces empowered by
the state Council of Defense to carry
on local work

PIESWARN GERMANY
KAISER TOLD U. S. FLEET WAS
ON WAY TO THE
WAR ZONE.
GIVEN TIME TO MINE PORTS
Navy Department Starts Wide investi-
sation--News Believed to Have
Been Sent Through Mexico
or South America.

Washington. May 2S.-The German
spy system Is ia operation within the
United States army and feet Not only
are spies obtaining information they
want In this country, but they are able
to get it to Berlin In time for German
submarines to menace American war
ships and soldiers on the seas.
This was admitted by the navy de-
partment. Secretary Daniels announced
on Friday that word of the sailing II
an American destroyer fiotilla for
Europe had been wired ahead to Ger
many and that German submarines
had succeeded In scattering mines at
the entrance of the harbor for which
the American warships were bound.
The following statement was issued:
'For days before the arrival OF the
American destroyer fleet abroad Ber-
lin knew that the vessels were ON the
way aud to what port they were going,
according to advces from Admiral
Sims.
'He reports that he has positive in
formation that Germany was thus In
in advance that he port of entrance
of the destroyers was mined the day
previous TO their arrival.
THE department calls attention TO
this fact as proof that the German spy
system is still at work In this country,
making imperative the need of Sc
crecy in connection with our naval
operations. The premature publica-
tion of ship movements is particularly
a source of danger.
"The department, while realizing
that the newspapers did not give this
Information. would be pleased II the
fact were brought TO the attention of
editors by way of showing what ex-
treme care is required In shielding
military information from the enemy.
whether it becomes public through the
press or otherwise"
The fact that the information
reached Germany with little or no de-
lay is expected to result In a thorough
investigation of the navy censorship.
1t is quite impossible, in the view
of officials, that the message could
have gone over either the British or
French cables, the only other con-
struction being open that ii went
first to Mexico or South America
and then was t1layed by wireless.
The source of the leak" will cause
the deepest probe. 1t was admitted
shortly after the declaration OF war
that six persons suspected of spying
had been discovered In the state, war
and navy building
AS soon as the first report was re-
weived from Adnsiral Sims showing
German knowledge of American plans
an investigation was instituted by
the several departments of the gov
ernmeBt and the secret service.

COMPROMISE BILL REJECTED
Assembly Refuses to Permit Introdue-
ton of Carpenter War Prohi-
bitten Measure.

Madison-Gov. Philips recUmmen-
dation that the legislature enact a law
to prohibit the sale of liquor, but per
nit the sale of beer and light wines
during the war. was turned down in
the assembly when the house, As to
AZ, declined to admit the introduction
OF the Carpenter bill to carry out the
governors suggestion.
Opponents of the state administra-
tion liquor bill succeeded in preventing
the introduction of the measure in the
senate. The committee on legislative
procedure, with two members dissent
ing, offered the bill for introduction,
and President Pro Tempore Burke,
who was in the chair. announced that
it was received.
A few minutes later Senator Han
son entered the chamber, and learning
that the bill had been received,
charged that the committee on leglsla-
tive procedure had broken faith with
him because he had been told by mem
bers of it that the bill would not be
offered until later And besides it was
a bill that had been given to the com
mittee on state affairs for considers
tion and should by all the rules of the
senate be considered as still being in
the possession of that. commrtae, he
said After some discussion Burke
withdrew the bill.
Senator Bennett then tried to intro
duce a similar bill, but the senate, by
a vote Of 7 to II, refused to suspend
the rules and allow him to present it
for Introduction,
The Bennett bill prohibits the sale
of hard liquor in the state after July
1, next, but permits the manufacture
of it for sale in foreign countries, and
also permits the manufacture and sale
of wines and elders containing not
more than 10 per cent OF alcohol 1t
also provides that a person who loses
his license because Of violation OF law
shall never be granted new one
Bennett said that he would later at
tempt to get permission 10 introduce
the bill The state administration bill
will also be offered later.
