These so-called leaders of the work.
ing class in Germany, barring the
few exceptions I have named, will
perform the most creditable act Of
their lives when they lay down and
die. They have submitted to the
proclamations Of the imperial Ger

ravishing of belgium, the invasion of
France. the bombing of innocent nom
combatant men, and children
in Britain. the humiliation of their
fellow-workers in Serbia. They are
in my opinion worse than their Prus-
sian masters. And they will pay the
price of their monumental ~treachery."
U. S. Labor and the War.
Discussing the the relation of
American organized labor to the war,
Mr.. Lord said:
Labor is meeting and will con
tinue to meet. Its obligation to de-
mocracy. The labor movement Is not
a movement coms2sed of perfect in
dividuals. neither is any movement
within my ken so constructed. But
if all other elements Of our body
polite render service in this crusade
in the same proportion that organ
lied labor does, there can be no
doubt about the outcome. And I be-
lieve society as a whole is going to
render this service. The world is
awake and the awakening spells the
doom of numbering, raping Germany.
1--WE say that Prussianism, the
Kaiser and his six rotten sons and all
are playing their last tune. We say
that W e have no feeling against the
German people that cannot be set
aside when the war is ended. We,
the organized workers of the Allied
countries declare that when the con-
ference of the society of nations Is
held, the representatives of labor
must be on those delegations. We
declare that we will hold a labor con
ference at the same time and place,
We want something to say about the
reshaping of the worlds affairs. We
declare hat this must be the end of
all wars. that the maximum Of good
things existant in any country shall
become the minimum for all coun-
tries, that the trade reuter- Of the
world must be free to all participants
in the society Of nations. When the
world has thus been put on a human
rather than a dollar basis. when mar
is rated above money, a pathway OF
, peace and progress will be opened UP
for all the children Of men, and in
that day we will again extend the
hand of brotherhood to the German
and every other worker.
Let US all carry on, in whatever
way we can.

Dancing Closes Day.
At about $3.50 o'clock. last nigh
street dancing began on Bruce ave.
nue. in front of the Masonic temple;
ample space had been roped off fol
the event, and for nearly four hour:
the Grand Forks Municipal band fur.
nished music which kept hundreds o.
feet in time. During the early par,
OF the open-air ball, a corps of youne
women. wearing Salvation Army bon.
nets and captivating smiles, walked
among the crowds disposing of small
American flags; this sale. it later de.
veloped. Melted the Salvation Arm,
about $500.
A flag pageant formed shortly afte,
3 o'clock, and led by the. flags o,
america and her war associates
dancers and non-dancers marched
through a number Of streets, soon re.
turning to the quare where dancint
was resumed. providing a picturesque
bit Of street life reminiscent of wha
is often seen in southern cities.
While h dance was on, sternl,
uniformed policemen" did a rushing
business "arresting" citizens here ant
there and bringing them into tn,
court house where all kinds of fc
titious charges were brought agains
them; the suspects were hauled be
fore Judge r. ]. Purcell who had i'm
provised a night court for the quicl
disposal of all ~'.cases," and as tn,
fines were extracted from the peck
cts of the culprits with extraordinar
dexterity. the proceedings in court
netted more than SIS for the saliva
ton Army war fund. The fun j,
court" was worth even more thar
that. L4abor's Loyal Legion was re
sponsible for. this successful innova
ton.
Despite the increasing cool thou
sands Of spectators remained stand
ing along the ropes or sitting in thei
automobiles watching the hundreds O
dancing people until midnight.
All In all, the Labor day program o
1918 was considered theN best Of it
!: kind in the history of the two cities.
