PROF. NILUKOFF
AT CONFERENCE
(By Associated Press. }

Paris, Saturday, Dec. 21:-Profes- :
sor Paul Milukoff, leader of the Rus
sian constitutional Democrats and
foreign minister in the cabinet of
Premier Lvoff, which was formed
after the overthrow of the imperial
dynasty, has arrived in Paris with
Nicholas Schebeko, former Russian
ambassador at Vienna, and four 9TH
er Russians representing the various
political parties exclusive of the Boil
sheviki and the extreme left of the
social reyolutionaries. The Russian
leaders say they have come here for
the purpose of interesting the en-
tente powers in the restoration of
orders in Russia so that a govern
ment may be- formed which will re-
unite. Russia and win recognition
from the world powers.
h The party, left ,KieY. three weeks
ago and travelled to Paris by way of
Odessa. When Professor Milukoff
left Kiev dhe Skoropadski govern
-ment, he said, was hard pressed be-
cause the Germans never. had per-
mitted, General Skoropadski. to or
gafize his own army and the Ukrain-
ian force was small after the Ger
man troops withdrew.
Professor Milukoff said General
Skoropadski never was popular with
the Ukrainians because he advocated
an Independent Ukraine while the
public largely favored aaunited Rus
sia. Extensive Agrarian movements
also have been, directed against
Skeropadski, the constitutional Dem
ocratic leader added, and it is likely
thatfthe general has been overthrown
In the meantime General Denikine,
former chief Of the Russian general
staff, has established a government
at Yekaterinodar which Professor
Mtlukoff and his associates say they
hope to see develop sufficient
strength to unite all the moderates in
the Ukraine and eventually to merge
with the government of General
Kolchak at Omalz, Siberia, into a CEN
trail government pledged to the pre-
seryation of Russian unity.

NeWsboy Act And
Mine inspection Up

Organized labor's legislative pro-
gram was mapped out and approv-
ed at a meeting of the board of di-l
rectors of the North Dakota Fedora
tion of Labor at a meeting held in
Fargo on Sunday afternoon, the
principal point in the program being
workmen's compensation act. drawn
by John, Andrus of the League for
Labor Legislation, Washington, pro-
viding for monopolistic state insur-
ance fund.

completed and is ready for introduc-
tion at the opening Of the coming
session Of the North Dakota legis-
lature. 1t has been framed. it is
understood, by agreement of the
Federation of Labor forces and the
Nonpartisan league, and will become
the administration measure at the
coming session. sts-.
Two years ago state insurance
worknen's compensation act was
before the legislature. but failed of
passage. Roughly. the proposed bill
classifies industries and provides that
the industries of each class must
carry the burden of paying compen-
sation for injuries, etc, sustained by
Thus the printing trades would for
instance, carry the burden of paying
all compensation claims arising in
that trade; packing plants would
pay all compensation claims arising
in that class, etc.
Under the bill as drawn. agricul-
turalJ labor and domestic labor is
not protected.
Other measures approved by the
Federation of Labor board follow:
Minimum wage and hours for
women. 81 Z.
Longer polling hours in cities over
5000 population to permit laborers
to participate in elections more

children. fixing Ia years as the age
limit for newsboys. ~

essary time to the labor interests,

fortunate conditions prevail. There
are families hit by the influenza
epidemic, in which both fathers and
mothers were i'll, with the result thai
they are in bad financial circum-
stances.
Under ordinary conditions these
families would not require aid, but
q bit of Christmas cheer will go a
long way to make Christmas a
happy time for them.
For the Fargo man or woman who
wants to give real aid on Christmas
the way still is open. They may
make contributions of money or ma
terlals to the Public Welfare, the
Glad Tidings, the Salvation Army, or
they may call the Glad Tidings and
get directly in touch with some
needy family and provide for them.
CpIldrer's Clothing Needed.
Superintendent Swanson Of the
Glad Tidings mission said today that
there is a very great need for chill
drens clothing, particularly y shoes
and stockings. and that gifts Of that
nature would be particularly ac-
ceptable.
The Salvation, Army has raised q
fund of over $500 by the use Of the
Christmas kettles Dinners win be
provided for between go and 70 fam
flies.
Presbyterfans Aid.
THE Christmas service of giving
was well named at the First Pres
byterian church yesterday morning
The audience packed the auditorium
and 1t seemed that every one
brought some articles of food for To-
cal relief. The primary department
gave q short program and the pastor
made a few remarks.
AT the statement, ."The primary de-
partment will present their ofIer-
ings," the little children marched
through the side door and filed past
the tables, arranged in front Of the
pulpit, where two young men receiy-
ed the food stuffs and stacked them
UP, The Juniors, intermediates, sem
sors and adults followed, all loaded
with groceries, vegetables, fruits, etc.
The mems class brought up the rear
with 81 sacks of flour and 1S BUSH
els Of potatoes.
In all not less than $3.50 worth OF
/. food stuffs were presented.
Al committee consisting of George
Sweetiand, S. S. Lyon and DR.. Dav-
export was appointed to see to the
disposition OF 1T to the needy.
The cash offering for Armenian re-
lief amounted to sos.
The matter was put up to the
church and Sabbath school and from
the Oldest to the youngest they voted
away their Christmas treat from the
church that others might have
Christmas joy.
1t was the bappiest Christmas ser
vice ever held in the church and leG
an impression on the children which
will be lasting. All joy was happi-
ness.
It will be repeated in other years.

Berlin, Friday. Dec 20.--The rev.

Socialists. The committee is largely
a body with parliamentary functions
on a small scale. 1t can eject OBJ
streperous cabinet members and has
a restricted veto power.
The congress devoted its closing
hours to problems of socialization.
1t approved of state control for such
industries "as are ripe" for the ex-
pertinent and a start will be made
with the coal pits Afterward the
steel and chemical Industries and the
alkali mines will be in line for seiZ-
ure. Although the bulk of sentiment
was for leaving such complex prob
lens to the national assembly, Milo
Barth of the Ebert cabinet, urged
that an immediate start be made
with the coal mines on account of
the economic situation, as indus

chronic unrest in the Silesian and
Rhenisn mining districts.
Herr Rickelt proposed Weimar,
capital of the grand duchy of Sake
Weimar- -Eisenach, as the seat of the
first constituent assembly.
The general makeup OF the con-
gress was pronouncedly mediocre as
the majority of members were from
local soldiers and workmen's coun-
ellis flurriedly organized in the early
days of the revolution. The fact
that the congress convened at Berlin
was responsible for some, embarras-
sing episodes. such as invasion by
soldiers and laborers.
Herr Scheidemann was loudly
cheered by the country member
when, in. the course Of his address,
he declared that Berlin was not.

INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE Il. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or a germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of q pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root OF
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis OF
pneumonia and to control the palns
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The AnurIc tab
lets were first discovered by Dr.. Pierce.
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acld'
