can only be handled by a compact
and smoothly working organization.
Minnesota, in his respect, holds a po-
sition well up in the front in the
ranks of the War Boards that have
been operating during the war
period, in forty-eight states in the
union.
The resolution by the National
Council of Defense which is COM
posed of the secretaries of War,
Navy, interior, Agriculture and Com
merce and Labor, urges that the
Safety Commission or State Council
of Defense, as the case may be,
should be continued in operation as
matter of national interest and for
the purpose of cooperating and
supplementing the Federal agencies
in meeting all exigencies and emer-
gencies that are incident to post
war readjustment. Especially is the
organization necessary for the work
of bringing about a normal de-
mobilization of soldiers, sailors and
war workers, that these people may
be re-absorbed into peace time pur-
suits.
The resolution further recon.
mends to the several Governors, and
Legislatures that the acts creating
the State War Boards should be
amended in order to perform the du'
ties to be laid upon it in prompt
and efficient manner.
This action of the, National Coun.
Gil of Defense is because of the fact
that all conditions and information
indicate that sedition, disloyalty ano
disturbing elements show decided
inclination to take advantage of the
situation for the PRONUNCIATION OF
their destructive policies and dis
turbing agitation.
Until the boys are safely returned
to their homes and conditions are set
tied, it develops more and more eacf
day that there is great deal OF
| work for the statewide organiza
ton of the Public Safety, Com
mission to handle.
The county directors and count!
chairman will be advised from time
to time as to their duties and as fas1
as orders are received from Wash
| ington. 1t is the duty of all loya
| citizens who have at heart the wei
fare of their country and their in
dividual communities to cooperate
and extend to the members of thi'
organization their support and whole
hearted Endorsement.

MUCH TO DO.

By a resolution adopted by the
National Council of Defense at
Washington on December 2, 1918, it
is very evident that there will be a
great deal of work yet to be done by
the State Council of Defense and
Safety Commissions in the various
states.
There has been an impression
among a great many that now that
the armistice is signed the Public
Safety Commission would have little
if anything to do. The law which
created the Public Safety Commits
sion states that it goes out Of bust
ness automatically three months af-
ter the peace treaty has been signed
Indications at this time are that some
months will elapse before the peace
terms are definitely settled. There
are some very important questions
of reconstruction, rehabilitation
and rehabilitation of industries that

provement in the labor situation.
There may or may not be lower
wages, but it is morally certain that
with ample supply of men there will
be greater efficiency. Underground
mines that are now being shut down
will continue idle in all probability,
until around February 1, unless there
is more incentive to resume earlier
than now exists. That there will be
large tonnage of ore shipped next
year is reasonably certain, but the
Independents would like to enjoy
better profits than for the past year.
There is some uncertainty as to
how long the War Industries Board
will undertake control of prices.
There are reports that the board may
dissolve in the immediate future.
The tendency of steel is downward
will be readily understood that
great uncertainty invests the iron
ore situation. =

ORE SITUATION
VERY UNCERTAIN.
INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS ARE
MEETING WITH WAR IN
DUSTRIES BOARD.

Iron mining companies of Lake
Superior have prepared data on mi
ming costs to. be presented through
the Lake Superior Iron Ore Associ-
alton to the committee of the AM
erican Iron & Steel Institute that is
meeting now with the price fixing
committee of the War Industries
Board, says Skillings' Review. AT
such time prices for iron ore will be
considered, and it is expected, fixed
for another period. Present prices
rule until January l. However, 1t
is by no means certain there will be
amy more price fixing, or even sta
bilizing.
The situation is one of uncertainty
With the end of the war has brought
new problems. There is prospect
of some reduction of steel prices and
of wages. Assuming that wages and
the cost of mining supplies, and rates
of transportation, remain as now, the
independent iron ore producer who
depends upon the open market can
not make adequate returns, If any
unless he is operating an open pit
mine. Already the Independent un-
foreground operators are slowed
down, and some of them have ceased
operations temporarily. Those that
shut down feel that this is good
time to make certain repairs, and
make certain improvements under,
ground which are not so easily OF
economically done while operating
They also have in mind that from now
forward there may be expected i'm.

GERMAN WORkMEN
 ARE BLUFFED AGAIN
Coercive Measures Are Expected to End General Strike Today Death is Promised Those Who Remain Out.

New York, Feb. 3.-Under the strong oppressive measures of the military authorities in Germany, the general strike continues to diminish in importance, and according to semi official advices from Berlin the trou- ble is expected to cease early in the week.
 Already, probably spurred by the threats of the military authorities of drastic action against them, many workmen throughout the empire, and especially in the province of Branden- burg, in which Berlin is situated, have returned to their duties, and even the recalcitrant ones are expect ed to start without further loss of time.
 In Brandenburg, the order of the military command telling the dissatis- fled workmen that they must resume their duties was terse ard sharp and evidently was intended to convey to the strikers the intention that the government at the present moment requires the full efforts of workers for the further prosecution of the war
 "Employes failing to resume work" :" said the order, twill be tried by court martial, which is authorized to impose sentence of death, execution to take place within "A hours of the time the sentence is imposed"

 sM|LAGE COMMITTEE
T C. McRae, Jr., Received Mes sage Stating He Has Been Ap- pointed Member of Smilage Committee For This City.

r c. McRae, Jr., today received a message from Washington, stating that he was appointed member of the Smileage Committee for this city.
 There are sixteen National army camps and sixteen National Guard camps in this country. Most of the Guard camps are in the south, while the National army camps are in the northern section.
 In all the National Army camps a large theater is being erected or has been completed. These are perma- nent.
 At each National Guard camp large tents have been put up. The complete plans call for two tents to each camp, one at each end, making thirty-two in all. For some time past, in various camps Lyceum and Chautauqua Bu- reaus have been putting on various kinds of shows to get lines on the types that appeal to most of the men. A complete plan has now been worked out to get good shows into the camps. It has been arranged with Marc Klaw, one of the leading theatrical managers in the country, to start the circuit. He has arranged to have four companies who will tour the National army camps. They will play one week at each. The shows at the start will be "Inside the Lines," Here Comes the Bride" Turn to the Right" and Cheating Cheaters." E. F. Albee, general manager of the Keith Circuit, FNs collected four vaudeville bills which will follow the comedy com- panies Moving picture machines have been purchased and installed in most of the theaters. and the latest releases will be shown.
 To make these shows self-support- ing, admission fees will be charged. These will vary from ten cents to twenty-five cents, depending on the show. They will never be more than twenty-five cents.
 Smileage Books are books of five cent coupons, which may be exchang- ed by man in uniform at the theater ticket office for admission tickets. Books are in two sizes. One contains twenty coupons and costs $1.00. The other contains 100 coupons and costs $500.
