than capital. We are realizing the
truth now as never before that CAPT.
tai and labor are not two but one.
Their problems present merely two
aspects of the same vital question.
The unselfish and patriotic impulses
and the calm look ahead will lead the
country to approve of the order now
in force.
Industry Unbalanced.
Industry is in an unbalanced con-
dition.. We lack many essentials
food, clothing, fuel. We have piled
up enormous stores of things not es-
sential to life, but very essential to
war We have piled them up so high
on our docks and in our s%t0reh0uses
that the ships available cannot carry
them away as fast as they pile up. For
lack of bunker coal held back by trf-
&c congestion, the number of ships
in our harbors increases menacingly,
The food supply is threatened to
an even greater degree than the fuel
! supply. This condition is in large
part due to the congestion that at
many points holds the loaded cars in
its grip.

Washington, Jan. 19:-Thc nations manufacturing industry

ally suspended yesterday in obedience to the governments order

Most Of the plants engaged Gu war contracts were exempted
from the ORDERS operation in kilograms sent out last night, but few
of them learned Of it in time and a great majority Of them closed
down with the other factories.
The country at large knew nothing OF exemptions except the
few announced last night and it was late this afternoon that the
fuel administrator admitted that important war work was not al
fcctcd by the order and gave cut a list Of hundreds of factories that
may continue work on government contracts only on the five day S
closing period.

To require all industries, except a
comparatively small part, to cease for
a few days, quickly accomplishes the
desired result and permanently in
jures one The order as it stands
puts all industry on an equal footing,
competition, but this reason alone Is
not sufficient. This reason, plus the
fact that the order will put coal in
the empty bins of the people, will save
coal, and will aid in breaking up con-
gestion of traffic and in furnishing an
adequate supply of coal to the people
who need it, and to the ships which
cannot sail without it-these are sui
ficient reasons and justify the order.

j. T. Nelson of Glen UlIin comes from a sec
ton which was as hard hit as any in North Dakota
by the drouth of 1917, and he says there isn't d
farmer nor a merchant nor a bank in his community
which cannot handle the present situation without
outside assistance. So many similar reports are
coming from "stricken' districts from day to day
that it will be interesting to learn the information
upon which Governor Frazier based his knowledge
of the. need for all expensive extra session to save
the farmer. The average North Dakota farmer
would like to be Saved from extravaganza in the
administration of state affairs and from fast mount
ing state taxes, but we doubt if special sessions are
a move in that direction.

WASHINGTON AGREEMENT
Miners Delegates at indianapolis in
Warm Debate.

Warm Debate.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 19.-There
vas an all day discussion in the min
ers' convention Friday over the rati-
fication of the Washington agreement
negotiated by the soft coal operators
and workers andsapproved by Fuel Adj
ministrator Garfield, opposition to it's
approval being due to the insertion in
the contract Of the automatic penalty
clause.
Bitter speeches were made against
the adoption of the clause, and many
delegates, mostly officers of the un-
ion, urged it's approval as n Of the
best things the miners can do to as
sist in stabilizing the coal industry.
Failure to ratify the agreement, lead
ers said, would bring about chaos and
endanger a maximum output Of bitum-
nous coal: 1t vas the general opinion
of influential officers of the union to-
night that it would be ratified by a
large majority. ,.,.- -.

HOME GUARD LEGISLATION.

II wou]d aDpcar to an innocent bystander that
the North Dakota defense council has enough on
it's shoulders without being asked to assume respon-
sibility for the home guard.
Adjutant General Fraser is the logical head Tor
that organization, should it be established on a state
wide basis.
General Fraser has an abundance Of military cX.
perience and is cminently fitted for the responsible
ity Of directing such an organization. And that
responsibility will be no light one.
The laws of North Dakota at present prohibit
the organizing and arming and drilling Of unauthor'
lied military or scmi-military companies. The pro-
vision is a good one, for, should we have enemies in
our midst, without such a general prohibition there
would be nothing to prevent their organizing and
eouipping an armed force. Soon there would re-
suit a state of anarchy, with opportunity for clashes
between ~''loyal'' and "disIoyal' home guards and
confusion ad infnitum. For this reason it IS ncccs,
sarv that the organization Of home guard com
panies be somewhat restricted and carefully con
trolled by some competent authority. This IS the
only reason that any home guard Legislation is asked
Of the special session.
The home g%uardsmen Of the state, or the com
munities which they are organized to protect, have
patriotically borne the expense OF arms, uniforms
and other equipment. They ask nothing in the way
of an appropriation. They do ask some protection
and some regulation which will give the home guards
which are worthy a legal right to exist.
Comrade Townlcy will make the big glarine
mistake of his meteoric career if he attempts, az
his satellites have indicated, to treat the home guard
as a joke or to enasculate it by hostile legislation
North Dakota has 317 home guard companies which
represent some Of it's best citizenship. In the smaller
communities, especially, the membership is com
posed largely of farmers and farmers sons. These
men, whether they are leaguers or independent OF
the league, are sincere and earnest in their efforts tc
do their patriotic bit by protecting their home com
munity, and Mr.. Townley, however much he may
trust in blind acceptance Of his leadership, would
do well in this instance to keep his hands off.

America has demanded action in war work. 1t
has had that thing from Fuel Administrator II. A.
Garfield. He has proven a man Of decision, OF cour-
age and of initiative. When he ''beat the senate
to it, by 20 minutes in the enforcement Of his fuel
order, he made a hit with a great body of Americans
who admire pluck. North Dakota is not in a posi-
ton to pass on the wisdom of his ruling. Here we
are singularly fortunate in having an abundance Of
coal to burn, and unfortunate in having few indus
tries to burn it.. But, Judging from the %satisfac-
tory manner in which Director Garfield, with the
assistance Of Capt. |. P. Baker, federal fuel admin
istrator for North Dakota, handled the fuel needs of
this state and of the northwest generally, it is safe
to opine that DR.. Garfield is the man for the job.
President Wilson thinks so, and our chief excc1
tive must be admitted to be a fair judge Of men
and measures. Let's give Harry Garfield q chance
and withhold our criticism until we have some
thing that within our personal knowledge warrants
criticism.

Question as to Whether
Regular Eleven Will Be
Formed Still Undecided
BY Charles A. Taylor

The question as to whether Colum-
bia will have regular football eleven
this fall is still unanswered. Hardly
had the picturesque and impressive
ceremonies that opened the now mill
tary college yesterday closed when
those in control of the destinies of
athletics on Morningside Heights
began to wrestle with the problem.
From present indications, 3. solution
will not be reached much before the
end Of the week.
The difficulty confronting the of
ticials, all Of whom, by the way, are
heartily in favor of intercollegiate
athletics. is the necessity Of harmo-
nizing their desires with the course
mapped out for the S. A. I. G.. insti-
tutions by the War Department at
Washington. All realize that the main
task assigned them is to prepare their
charges to deliver knockout punch
on the Kaiser. provided he survives
the blows he is now reeling under.
Athletics, of course, is to form q
big part of the programme being ar
ranged, and already it has been de-
cidad to have tho period between 4
and 5:15 each afternoon set aside for
recreation purposes. This would allow
sufficient time for the training of foot
ball teams, tennis teams, swimming
teams and so on: but then enters the
question of contests with other insti-
tutons. which would naturally take
place on Saturdays. Would such CON
tests interfere with the strict military
discipline SO essential to the success
of the S. A. T. c.?
The strongest argument in behalf
OF athletic competition with other in
stitutions is offered by the experiences
Of West Point and Annapolis, where
the football elevens, for example, have
never received much more than an
hours drilling daily. yet have in
variably developed strong teams, and,
furthermore, do not appear to have
had their high standards of discipline
lowered by contests with outside
rivals.
Colonel John r. Finley, the COM
manding officer at Columbia; lowering

Wci as lOOtDali COaCn, are LNe men
who will decide the fate Of football
and other sports in reference to the
advisability of meeting other institu-
tions in competition. The university
committee on athletics also will take
part in the deliberations, but the
military viewpoint, as represented by
Colonel Finlev, will prevail.
A call for football men to report on
South Field We terday afternoon was
made. and despite the fact that the
institution had not completed its or
ganization seventy-tivc responded. Dou-
Bile this number of candidates will
doubtless appear before the week end.

Major league baseball in so far as
it concerns the National League, will
be officially terminated at the annual
meeting Of the association to be held
in this city Sn December 10. At the
gathering the senior organization will
formally wind up the business affairs
of the season just closed and enter
upon A hiatus, which will remain un-
disturbed until such time as interna-
tonal affairs appear to warrant
revival of the professional end of the
national game.
This, at least, is the intention of the
nothing short of most sensational
change in the war status within the
next two months will cause any shift
in the plans of the league. 1t re-
quires a long period Of preparation
and much detail work, prior to the
opening of each pennant race, and it
is recognized that in the present un-
settled state Of baseball affairs it
would be Impossible 10 renew the
operation of the circuit without ample
time in which to formulate arrange
ments A declaration of peace coming
late next spring would prove Of little
value to the big league clubs, accord
ing to the opinion of prominent mag
mates
It has been pointed out that the
players of the various teams would be
scattered to the four points Of the
compass: that some of thu. baseball
parks will have been adapted to other
forms of business; that problems
would arise during the readjustment
period which have never confronted
baseball managements and that the
best policy will be to make haste
slowly. General opinion appears to
support the idea that new and better
order of professional baseball will
come forth at the proper time. but that

the following cable from Johnny
Evers, now In France. Need 500

Mr.. Edwards is hustlng to make
good, and has already appointed a
large football committee to cooperate
with him throughout the whole coun-
try, and has written letters to the
managers Of the different college foot
ball teams, urging them to cooperate
in this most important collection of
material.
The fact that many colleges are not
to play football this fall will insure
large contributions.
Mr. Edwards desires it to be known
that such donations can be sent by
express prepaid, to him at the Gus
tom House, New York City.
II this sort Of an appeal strikes the
heart of different men throughout the
country who have no football uni
forms to give. Mr.. Edwards desires it
to be known that their checks will be
appreciated, and that he will make as
economical purchases rs possible and
forward same to Mr.. Evers
Mr. Edwards has arranged for the
packing and shipping of such football
In a letter addressed to many of
the oldtime football stars who form a
committee, Mr.. Edwards has included
the following statement: There is
much of the football spirit in this war.
You men know what team work in
football means. The men over
there arc finding that the football
spirit they learned at college is help
ing them very much in this war. If
VIC here at home can help our boys
over there by contributing jerseys,
sweaters, bolts, football trousers,
stockings and shoes, you will be
doing your bit. If the boys 'ove>
there are illing to fight for lis over
here, we are doing very little in
days work if we contribute something
by which they can get little bit Of
sport out Of, and in so doing help to
make them better fighters.
You may not be able to get to
France. but think of the wonderful
privilege you have Of sending your
football clothes across seas. Send your
