FOOD BOARD FINDS
NO CLASS IN BREAD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The ma
tional food administration reprints a
statement by the Indiana state coun-
Gil of defense that almost without ex-
ception the authorities have been I'M
able to. verify the rumors of glass in
Bread" which were given such wide
circulation a few months ago.
The Indiana state council of de-
Tense gives this reason for the ex-
element:
Corn flour under the microscope
shows many hard, flinty pieces of en-
dosperm (germ), which have a very
CLASSY appearance. When baked in
a quick oven some of these particles
retain their glass-like appearance,
though in the ordinary process of
baking this appearance is lost This
is the explanation given by experts
employed by the International Union
of Bakers and Confectionery Work
ers.
I'm bran flours a nervous person
might easily fancy that particles of
the hard outer husk were glass. And
dextrine sometimes solidifies into a
hard, transparent mass which might
be mistaken for glass;
'"The natural conclusion is that
most of the people who reported hav-
ing found glass in their bread were
deceived by the appearance of the
new materials.".

MINERS WRONGED, But
REFUSE TO STRIKE

Officers Of District No. Is, United
Mine Workers Of America, Of Mis-
souri,, protest against the profiteering
methods and violation of contracts
by southwestern coal operators, who
are charged with not being satisfied
with making fabulous fortunes at this
time and who seek to destroy condi-
tons secured by the United Mine
Workers.
1T seems to u.s. say these union
lists, that the operators are desir-
Gus of taking advantage of the mine
workers on account of our loyalty
and devotion to our country. They
know that it would place US in an
embarrassing position to do anything
at this time that would disturb or
hamper in the least the production Of
coal, and it is our opinion that the
operators are seeking to take advan-
tage of this situation"
The miners announce that they will
not call a strike, but they make the
significant statement that some day
in the future they (they operators)
will be compelled to respect the con-
tract that they now seek to ignore

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
TO PAY ala PER CENT

Secretary McAdoo has definitely an
nounced that the fourth Liberty loan
bonds will bear ~ per cent interest
The secretary has been insistent
that the government interest rate
should be stabilized at AZ per cent.
He points out that a raise in the rate
Of interest of only one-fourth of / per
cent on $10,000,000,000 of government
bonds would mean an annual increase
of $25,00O,000 in interest charges, and
that this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation and paid
by the people of the country. It would
not be paid by one class only, because
there are consumption as we'll as other
kinds Of taxes, and the consumption
taxes reach every class of people.
"As an intelligent GLASS;" said
Secretary McAdoo during the third
Liberty loan campaign, 1--WE should
now make a stand for the financing
of our government during the period
of this war at a stabilized rate of inter-
est, say at ~ per cent per annum, so
that all business and all investments
may be adjusted to that basis, and
so that we ourselves may protect our
selves against successfully increased
, rates of interest on government
loans"'
Neither our patriotism nor our sup
port of the Liberty loans are meas
ured in fraction of per cent.

TRANSPORTING TROOPS
ASTONISHES THE WORLD

The world has been astonished at
the great number of American SOL
diers transported to Europe in the
last half year. The number now ap-
proximates 100000, and the loss of
life in transporting them has been al
most infinitessimal.
The success with which we have
moved our troops from the scattered
camps in this country and across 5000
great evidence of American efficiency.
We have not only surprised our enc
mics; we have surprised our friends
and ourselves.
The British controller of shipping,
Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this
movement across the sea as "A trans
port miracle" We have been inclined
to attribute this achievement solely
to our navy and our shipping, but the
British controller speaks in high
praise of the share Che American rail-
roads had in the work. He says:
IF the American railroads had not
been operated with success the whole
transport movement might have
failed, because it was essential to
quick transportation that the troops
should be ready for the ships.'
Director General McAdoo seems
justified in his statement that while
the development of the policy of the
railroad administration requires time,
progress has been made toward the
goal.

ASKS UNIONS TO HELP
AMER|CAN|zE ALIENS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-In let
ter to officers Of International unions
and central labor bodies,> United
States Commissioner Of Education
Claxton calls attention to the Amer
icanizlng policy of his department.
These startling figures are submit
ted to impress upon trade unionists
the necessity for education and agi-
tation of this subject
I'm 1910 there were in the United
States approximately 100000 for
eign- born persons and about 20,00O,-
900 more with one or more parents
born in foreign countries. About
100000 of the foreign-born over 10
years of age could not speak English
and about 1,650,0O0 could not read or
per cent of the foreign-born popula-
ton were males of voting age, but
only four in every 1000 attended
school to learn our language and cit
izenship. Over 100000 additional
aliens were admitted between 1910
and 1915. About 1900 foreign Ian
guage newspapers, with an approxi-
mate total circulation of 10000 900
are printed in the United States"
Attention is called to the thousands
of men of foreign countries who are
enrolled in Americas fighting forces,
and trade unionists are asked to as
sist the foreign born in industry to
better understand American ideals.

GARFIELD DECLARES
BONUS SYSTEM WRONG

Fuel Administrator Garfield has no.
titled the coal operators that they
must abandon their bonus system as
it causes unrest and labor shifts and
does not increase the coal output.
Maximum production" he says, sis
essential to the successful conduct of
the war and for the welfare of the
boys in the trenches. The democracy
we are seeking to establish at home
and abroad demands that maximum
production be based on an arrange
ment fair to all concerned-to all
mine workers, all operators and all
the public.
The payment of bonuses in any
form is contrary to the spirit of the
wage agreements made by operators
and mine workers with the President
Of the United States last November
These agreements covered the period
of the war. With full confidence,
therefore, that the fuel administration
will have the support of all associa-
tions and individuals in curbing vio-
lations of that agreement, I hereby
announce that if any operator here
after undertakes to pay a bonus In
any form in violation of the terms or
spirit of the agree inents above re-
ferred to, I shall assume that the
mine price of coal allowed that oper-
ator is too high and I shall accord
ingly order a reduction thereof
ALSO, I am directing investigation
of alleged payments of bonuses now
or since the November agreement,
and shall make such further orders
and regulations as the facts may JUS
tify."

GERMAN THOUGHT IS
AGAINST CHRISTIANITY

Frederick William Nietxche was one
of the most noted of modern German
philosophers. How much has his
philosophy affected the views and
character Of the Germans of today?
Is not the answer written in the blood
of the women and children, the old
men Of occupied France and Belgium?
Are not the Lusitania victims wit
nesses to German adoption of Metz
che's faith?
Here is his indictment of Chris.
tianityT
with this I conclude. and pro-
nounce my sentence: condemn Chris
tianity. To me it is the greatest Of
all imaginable corruptions. The
church is the great parasite; with its
anemic idea of holiness it drains life
of all its strength, its love, and its
hope. The other world is the motive
for the denial of every reality. I call
Christianity the one great curse, the
one great intrinsic depravity, the one
great instinct OF revenge, for which
no expedient is sufficiently poisonous,
secret. undsrhand. to gain it, ends. /
call It tho one Immortal shame and
blamiSh upon tho human race. =

LABOR TURNOVER IS
COSTLY TO UNCLE SAM

In an address to newspaper men in
Washington. Secretary of Labor VIII
son said that the individualistic
strike-the turnover Of labor-brinss
US greater loss than all Of the collect
i've strikes and lockouts that occur
in the country, and anything that we
can do to reduce that turnover Of la
Dor will assist in maintaining eff
cheney"
The cabinet official indicated that
the present high wages have not
placed workers in the profiteering
class, and one of the reasons for the
big inflow Of labor to large cities has
been the inability OF the average la
borer to grasp real money value. o.
real wage values.
'They figure It'll purely upon mon
etary basis rather than upon; real
basis. the basis of purchasing power"
he said. And 80 the wage that is
held up to the rural worker as being
paid in New York, for instance. or in
Boston, or in Philadelphia, seems to
him to be a tremendous wage rate,
and it is lure to him to come to our
cities'

pei him to do so. The country comes
first. Unless every workingman fully
understands this fact and responds to
it, the government will be forced to
do by compulsion that which it has
right to expect from patriotic,
voluntary cooperation.
American labor is fundamentally
opposed to industrial CONSUMPTION.
American trade unionism trusts
that the patriotism of workingmen
will make it unnecessary. 1t only
requires a few workingmen, scat
tered here and there throughout the
country to spill the beans. It is
therefore up to all loyal workingmen
to pin the tag of Stacker on every
fellow worker who does not tote
square and deliver the goods at his
work.
Laborers can do more with their
fellows than the law can do. If one
is lazy or is given to change employ
ment frequently, losing time between
jobs, simply ostracize and treat him
as you would "scab." This will
cure him quicker than anything else
we know Of, and by doing so work
ingmen will be rendering themselves
and their country great service.
If this war is lost to the United
States and her allies the clock of
time will be pushed back a hundred
years. Everything that labor has
striven for and has gained will be
lost and it's future will be shrouded
in gloom. The senate is now consid-
ering bill providing for the con-
scription of labor. Nothing will stop
it's passage but 100 per cent activity
on the part of all workingmen. Prod
up the few workingmen here and
there who are not doing their best
and there will be no necessity for
compulsion on the part of the gov
eminent

SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

The United States, by virtue of it's
manifested greatness and power, oc-
cupies the commanding place in the
world today. Never before was it
so respected and gPdmired for it's
power and might, and never before
has it so commanded the confidence
and hope of the world by reason of
it's stand for freedom and justice and
right
President Wilson has a command
ing, political and moral influence
in the world outside of those ma
tions with which we are at war, and
even among their peoples there are
millions who look to him for deliver
ance from war and famine and from
oppression and misgovernment.
1t can have no other effect than to
hurt and lessen President Wilson's
prestige and influence With the for
eign world for his party to meet de-
feat this fall. It cannot but weaken
his power for good, for victory and
peace, should his party be repudiated
at the polls by the American people.
How greatly can Democratic de-
feat be used by his enemies who are
the enemies of the United States, and
the enemies of our soldiers in France
and the enemies of peace and free
dom everywhere to discount his abil-
ity to accomplish that which all free
people wish accomplished How pow
erfully can his party's defeat be
used to disparage and belittle his
| own standing and influence in his
own nation, and how convincing can
they make it appear to their own
people and others that the people of
the United States do not approve of,
do not stand for, and will not carry
out those great principles which
President Wilson has made the car
dinal principles, for which we and
our allies fight, which he has made
the passion and hope of Belgium and
France and Serbia and the war-worn
peoples Of all Europe.
1t matters not how we'll we at
| home may understand that the nation
stands by the President regardless of
the result Of the congressional cleo
ton. Our politics this year is, not a
national affair, but an international,
worldwide, OF tremendous interest
| to all nations and of supreme and
vital Importance to our allies, to
Russia and the oppressed rationale
ties of Austria, to the people of all
Europe
In the true analysis there is but
one way fully to support our coun-
try and our soldiers at this time, and
that is by full and unreserved sup
port of the President. The election
of a Republican congress would be
construed by large portion of the
world and particularly by those over
whom the Presidents influence is
most Important as a reputation of
him and of - the principles he has
made, the principles of the free peo-
pies of the world. No qualified sup
port, no halfway support, no divided
allegiance, will serve. L..

NORTH DAKOTA BAR
ASSN MEANS WELL

The North Dakota Bar association
is willing to take over the legislative
functions of this state and suggests
that all proposed laws be submitted to
it's committee for inspection and crit
icism. The committee will oppose
or aid in the passage of such laws so
submitted or proposed"
The association believes that this
will result in Legislation that will
stand judicial scrutiny.
Trade unionists ask how this plan
would work in the case of the Keat-
ing child-hbor law, which was ap-
proved by congress and it's many law
yer members. When the law reached
the United States supreme court it
was declared void by the closest pos
sible vote-5 to 4.
