War Organization Makes
Kr1Own Objects and Stand
On Loyal Service Issue

Resolutions adopted by the Fargo
war Organization, at a meeting held
Tuesday evening attended by about
500 members, define that body's posi-
ton on the question Of loyalty, and
are in the nature Of an answer to at
tacks that have been made on the or
ganization recently.
During the session, which was most
enthusiastic and over which President
V. r. Lowell presided, it was brought
to light that Judge w. II. Barnett and
Morton Page are the donors Of the
beautiful service flag presented to the
Fargo War Organization Sunday
evening, and the organization adopted
a resolution expressing its apprecia-
ton Of the gift.
The Fargo War Organization also
proposes to become an effective
agency in dealing with the Industrial
Workers of the World menace, in the
event the "wobblers" become active in
the northwest again, while attention
also will be given to followers Of the
Socialist doctrine as expressed in that
party's notorious st. Louis platform.
John Hogan was made chairman of
the I. w. w. committee, and 3. T.
SpaIding, the Socialist committee.
Committees on both propositions
were authorized.
Appropriate functions are to be given
at the departure OF men into the ma
TONS service, similar to that staged
last Saturday evening, and John
Hogan was made chairman Of the
committee in charge.
Allen w. Woods motion that ap-
propriate memorials be drawn to
Fargo men who have died in tine SER
vice, was adopted and Mr.. Wood was
made chairman of the committee.
The resolution expressing the atti-
tude of the Fargo War Organization
as to loyal service follows:
Whereas, question has been raised
through tho press Of the state as to
the purposes Of this organization, and
it has been stated by uniformed writ
ers that such purposes are political;
And whereas, we believe the pub
lie is entitled to an authentic ana
declaration Of the aims
and purposes of any organization that
holds itself forth as standing for 10y
atty, patriotism and the country s
welfare Now, therefore,
BE 1t resolved, by the Fargo War
in general meeting as
sembied: The purpose Of this organ
ization is the promotion Of loyalty and
patriotism, and the support of all in
situations and aims Of our country in
the carrying out Of its war program,
as is fully set forth in the declaFa-
ton of purposes, embodied in the ar
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-05-29

, ticles of association, subscribed by
every member, to-wit:
The purpose of the organization
is, to unite the loyal people Of Fargo
ana vicinity for service ini supporting
our soldiers and sailors and men In
all branches OF the oountry's war
service; to promote active patriotism
and genuine unreserved Americanism ;
to suppress and eXterminate disloyal-
ty, sedition and treason; to maintain
the principles upon which our gov
eminent is founded and support 1t and
it's allies in the all-important task Of
BE It further resolved: This or
gantzation has no other purpose or
program and the sole end OF its eX-
istence and endeavors is the carrying
out of the purposes set forth in the
articles so subscribed by the mem
bers, to the carrying out of which
to the exclusion Of all others we
pledge ourselves anew.
And whereas, in the furtherance of
the purpose and enieavor to encour-
age loyalty and patriotism and prompt
all loyal people to the full perform
ance OF their duty to the country the
go on record by passing the follow
ing resolution, to-wit:
Whereas, the entire civilized
world is at this time united for the
Prussian barbarism abroad and all
loyal Americans, both native and for
eign born, are standing shoulder to
shoulder in the patriotic attempt to
discourage questionable public senti-
ment and wipe out hostile propagan-
da, at home now, therefore,
BE 1t resolved, that Fargo's War
organization resents the apparent
support and encouragement extended
by certain local advertisers to news
papers of questionable character and
uncertain public convictions and
hereby. serves notice on such LEGAL
advertisers that the members Of this
association will during the continu-
ance Of the war refrain from patron
icing any person or persons that
continue to advertise in such news
"Be it further resolved, that the in
tent of such resolution was to point
out the duty Of loyal citizens in their
attitude toward newspapers of dis
loyal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. whose edi-
torial policies are dictated by men
whose public attitude and utterances
are inimical to the government. 1t is
the belief Of this organization that no
one who Is prompted by. an unQuali-
fed sense Of loyalty will have any
difficulty in determining. for himself
whether q, given publication is of that
character that merits its support.
BE it further resolved, that this
organization expresses it's policies
and purposes only through the medi-
UNI Of resolutions adopted at it's meet
ings ana does not accord the right to
any member to speak in that regard"

That there Is likely 20 be a serious
shortage of hard coal IN she north
west next fall and winter is the opln-
ion of Fargo coal dealers, who met
with the executive committee Of the
Fargo Commercial club yesterday
afternoon for an informal discussion
of the matter.
In this case North Dakota and the
rest OF the northwest states would
have to fall back to large extent on
Ignite coal for its supply, hard coal
being sold only to those with hasa
burners and small stoves.
Fargo dealers say that there has
been practically no hard coal shipped
into the state for some tina and upon
inquiry at the docks they have been
unable to obtain any definite replies
relative to the situation.
In case the state Is forced to use
Ignite coal next winter another diff
fculty may arise-that of getting a
sufficient number of cars for haul
ing the coal. Fargo dealers said they
expected to have more definite infor-
nation on the question soon.
