LABOR DRIVE
ON NEXT WEEK
United States Farm Help
Specialist: Will III ! be in !,
Charge Of Drive.

Bismarck, N. D., June 1.-North
Dakota's big farm labor drive which
will be relied upon to furnish help for
the harvesting Of the greatest wheat
crop this state. has v . known, will
be launched next week by John b.
Brown, United States farm help spe-
cialist, in the Office Of Commissioner
OF Agriculture and Labor, Hagan.
Mr.. Brown is writing the chairman
Of each county council Of defense ask
ing that he recommend a substantial
farmer to be chairman Of the II. 8
farm labor reserve committee in his
county. Each county reserve chair
man will name his own county COM
mittee, to consist of a banker, a mer-
chant and a farmer, and this COM
mittee in turn will name a sub-com-
mittee In each municipality, to which
will fall the task of actually MOBILIZE
ing farm help.
Signing up for this work will be
entirely voluntary upon the part Of
the city people, but with the spirit
now prevailing In North Dakota no
difficulty in obtaining all the assist
nee necessary is anticipated. It is
Mr.. Browns opinion hat to be pre-
pared for all possible contingencies,
North Dakota must have q farm labor
reserve Of at least SO, 900. These men
will sign an agreement to work a GER
tain number of days in their own To-
calities at going wages. They will be
called upon only If and as needed, and
those in the more non-essential trades
and professions will be given the first
opportunity to help.
Kansas starts out its harvest season
with IS for a ten hour day the pre-
vailing wage. It is predicted that Sc
will be the standard wage for harvest
hands in North Dakota, and this sti-
pend, or whatever the standard may
be. will be paid the volunteer helpers.
1t is expected that there will be more
cooperation among the farmers
themselves than in former years; that
neighbors will pitch in and help one
another with the harvest to a greater
degree than has been customary in
the past. This. can be done. because
as a rule all the fields, even in one
community. do not ripen at the same
time. There is no lack of threshing
rigs and other equipment. Man power
is the big demand and this Farm Help
Specialist Brown hopes to supply
through his federal farm labor re-
serve.

PATRIOTIC WORDS FROM THE
SECRETARY OF LABOR.

Among all the distractions and de-
lays interposed TO harass and handi-
cap the government in its preparation
for war, none has exasperated the pa
triotic public to the extent that have
the numerous strikes and the tend
ency of labor organizations to take
advantage of the government to force
wage increases Private industry as
well as the government has responded
most generously in the matter of ad-
vancing wages to meet the increased
cost of living, but these have not sat
isfied the walking delegates, whose in
cessant demands for further advances
keeping pace with the. urgent necessi-
ties of the government justify CHASING
them with the profiteers who through
corners and combinations are holding
up the people in a manner that would
shame Shylock himself. It. is there
fore most gratifying at this time to
hear these words from Secretary OF
Labor Wilson. a man who has grown
old In the service of organized labor.
His words should be needed by those
radical leaders of labor who seem to
have lost sight of their duty to the
nation in their eagerness to extor,
further compensation to labor already
we'll paid. Here is what Secretary
Wilson says of both employers and
employees who are tying, up Industrial
enterprises and depriving the govern
ment of needed supplies for the men
who are offering their lives In de-
Tense Of the country,
! have three sons and eight neph-
eWs under the colors today. If any
misliap comes to them in the course of
the struggle, where they are supplied
with all munitions, where they are
taken care of as they should be cared
for my grief will be mingled with
spirit of pride. But if injury or loss
OF life comes to them because they,
like the Russians in Galieia, have not |
been supplied with the necessary ma
terlal to properly defend themselves
then my grief will be a feeling of |
shame that my countrymen were not
willing to make the necessary sacri-
ices In order to produce the material
with which the boys could fight. Our
Industrial disputes should be abandon
I'd until the war is over, not by the
3rocess of crushing the worker or
employer into submission. but by the
process OF doing Justice to both par
les and to the public at large"

NAME OF RIVER WASHED AWAY
BY HIGH WATER.

The river that takes its turbulent
course through this city has been
known since the days of Captain John
Mullan as the South Fork of the
Occur d'Alene. The early-day miners
found the name expressive in defining
the geography and drainage of the
district. Subsequent maps prepared
by the government and by private par
ties show the North Fork and the
South Fork and the names have be-
come so thoroughly accepted that the
sections drained by each have for
years become known as the North side
and the South side. Not only has Gus
tom fixed the name of the stream that
flows through this city, but it is inter-
woven in the title to property record
maps showing it, description of prom
erty in deeds use it in defining metes
and bounds, and in various other
forms the South Fork of the Occur
d'Alene river appears in the records
of the county in describing property
rights. But few days of high water
have not only changed the course of
the historic stream, but according to
the enterprising morning paper it's
name has also been lost in the sweep !,
Oh the flood and 1t is now the East
Fork" but the east fork of what doth
not yet appear. In the interest of his

STILL THRILLING IN WAR.
(Boise Statesman)


! Major General william A. Mann has
been returned from France because OF
his inability to command" and a new
general is now at the head of our
Rainbow division. General Mann is
the fourth general to be. relieved with
in two weeks and doubtless Others
will follow.
General Mann was physically unfit
for the strain of the Job. He was sent
abroad merely as formality-sent to
France merely in recognition of his
years Of long service as chief of the
militia division.
How long is this sort of thing to
continue? Our allies have a hard but
efficient system of holding all officers
from captains up rigidly responsible
for the efficiency of their commands
These officers are relieved promptly ii
they are found incapable of handling
their jobs with the highest degree of
efficiency. Our allies realize that dis
cipline does not begin in the ranks.
md that favoritism can not be shown
among the officers. The sooner our
var department realizes this fact the
letter.
And at that, General Mann, after
many Years spent honorably in militia |
ervice, was probably more fit for his
csition Of commander OF the Rain
ow division than the secretary Of war
J fit for the job he holds.

CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION
IS GETTING RESULTS.

Those who have been disposed to
find fault with the senate in undertake
Ing an investigation of the conduct OF
the war should sbe silenced by the as
founding facts that have already been
brought out by the investigation. 1t
was shown that much of the sickness
in the training camps, particularly
pneumonia, was caused by the failure
OF the war department to provide
overcoats and other clothing for the
men, and the secretary of war was
called upon to Immediately determine
the condition at every camp and see
that necessary clothing was provided.
'lf the regulation clothing can not be
obtained from the contractors through
regular channels, then the secretary is
instructed to go into the open market
and buy clothing to protect the men
from the cold to which they are ex-
posed 1t is pleasing to observe that
the secretary has lost no time in com
plying, though his activity at this
time viii not wipe out the grievous
suffering and exposure to which the
men have been subjected through the
ack of efficiency in the war depart
nent.
But worse than the failure to pro-
ide winter clothing was the crowded

a building that was designed to ac-
commodate only 500, and to cap the
climax. the hospital was without sew
erage connection, Think oft, in this
day of advanced sanitary regulations,
particularly in the war department, a
camp established to shelter thousands
OF men without sewerage. This CON
dition can only be accounted for in
gross carelessness and indifference to
the welfare of the men, for no one IN
this enlightened age can be ignorant
of the necessity of such facilities. II
would appear that the commanding Of
flcer was not without blame, for he
should have refused to concentrate
the men until the ordinary sanitary
steps had been taken.
If the investigation accomplishes
nothing more than to secure sufficient
clothing and sanitary conditions for
the men in the training camps, the
result should silence all criticism for
calling II. But 1t will do more, and
let us hope that it will finally impress
the president with the necessity of
placing men at the heads of depart
ments, bureaus and war commissions
for their ability to fill the positions
rather than for political considera-
tons.
