D0RR CARROLL RAN
BLOCKADE ON LAST
CHICAGO TRAIN OUT
President of North Dakota De-
Tense Council Saw Some
Real Stormy Weather.
SEES SEED GRAIN SHORTAGE
Believes Farmer Will Need Help
From Uncle Sam as Well
as From State.

Dorr Fl. Carroll of Minot chairman
of the North Dakota defense council,
was in the city Monday en- route home
from Chicago. Mr.. Carroll left Chica-
60 on the last train before the great
blizzard ''There was three feet of
snow on the level said Mr.. Carroll,
in describing his experience, land it
took us four hours to get out of town.
A brigade of laborers had to go ahead
of the train and literally shoveled us
out, foot by foot
Mr.. Carroll announced while here
that bill financing the state defense
council will be introduced at the spe-
cial session. 1t probably will carry
an appropriation of $4,000, to reim-
burse the directors FOR the personal
loans which they have made since the
organization Of the council. and to
carry on the work until the regular
session of 1919
Organizing Labor.
Chairman Carroll learned during his
recent visit to Washington in the in

already planning to meet the farm la
Dor needs OF the country during 1913.
One thing contemplated is the furnish
ing of farm laborers with transporta-
ton at one cent mile on freight
trains, to Whic. it is planned to at
tach passenger coaches in sufficient
number to accommodate the farm
workers. The government probably
will organize farm labor on semi
military basis, and will supervise its
distribution as the crop season pro-
crosses nOrthWard.
Aid Still Important.
Chairman Carroll is not disposed to
hope for aid from the government in
the purchase of seed. He is of the
opinion that such aid will be needed
in addition to any relief which the leg
islature may be able to afford. Condi
tions in some sections, he reports, are
very bad. The defense council now is
making a seed-grain census OF the
state, which probably will be complet-
ed and ready to submit to the legis.
