The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1918-08-21

In this issue we publish the "Work or Fight resolution passed
bv the State Council of Defense. Read it over carefully and more
especially the parts which are capitalized, and you will see just
what it amounts to. Notice this: The provisions OF TINS act
differences with their employers" Under that provision sion woa1d It
not be easy enough for a crew of men to strike, and then say that
they are not working simply because they have had "dltIerences
with their employers?" Then it asks our sheriff to "dlhgenty
report to the states attorney and the council OF defense the names
OF idlers, loafers OF Migrants within their respective jurisdiction.
But do you notice that this order does not give our sheriff any au-
tho1ity to pick up and hold any such characters, and by the time
he notifies the states attorney and council OF defense the parh S
complained Of may be in Grand Forks, Minot, or in some other
state. What a joke.

The Cando Record says: Secretary Of State Hall mailed t.
one newspaper in each Of the So counties a list of the seven consti-
tutional amendments to be voted upon by the people at the fall
election. They are to be published as legal advertisements once In
August, once in September and four times in October"
Yes, and those amendments are published in So Of Townley's
subsidized newspapers, and the Cando Record and Devils Lake
Journal are among the bunch. 1t is plain to see why ToW1aey
wanted to own and control a newspaper in each county in the state.
He wanted to get a cnch on this line of legal state printing The
cost of these publications will be in the neighborhood of $4,000
which is divided up equally among the So papers that represent
Townleyism. Then you wonder why these newspapers are howl
ing for Townley. 1t is simply because the Townly outfit keeps
them well creased, :. -. f. ~ @-.:,~x..,,.
