ence to Select Candidate

initial steps were taken last Fri
day night by the Federated Trades
Assembly to oppose the reelection Of
Congressman Clarence B. Miller next
November. Although the lawmaker
has no opposition so far, it is planned
to place a candidate in the field by
petition.
Several delegates pointed out Mr..
Miller's vote on important measures,
showing that he had opposed the in
terests Of labor on many occasions,
on one of which he voted to make all
strikes criminal offenses.
AS provided in resolution which
was unanimously adopted, confer
ence Of labor men and trades union
lists from the Eighth congressional dis
trict will soon be called for. the pur-
pose Of selecting candidate upon
whom the labor forces can concen-
trate. The local assembly will be
represented by the following commit
tee: Joel Lichten, J. J. Anderson, G.
A. Peterson, H. NORM, o. H. Tarun,
Langdon and c. o. White
The resolution adopted by the as
sembly follows:
Whereas. The present representative
from the Eighth congressional district.
Clarence B. Miller has, by words and
action. proved very friendly to big
business by voting 20 make strike IS
criminal offenscs, and by supporting
other anti-labor measures, and
Whereas, For the successful prose-
cution Of the war for democracy and
the maintenance of democracy at home,
our president should be surrounded by
lawmakers who are vitality interested
in fundamental democracy. and not by
ths, representatives Of profiteers.
Therefore. Be it resolved by the
Federated Trades Assembly Of Duluth,
in regular meeting assembled, Thai
the president is hereby authorized to
appoint committee Of seven for the
purpose Of calling a conference Of "a.
Dor men and trades unionists from the

FOOD SITUATION
IS CRITICAL: IN
CENTRAL EUROPE
According to Survey Published
By U. 5. Department Of
Labor.

WASHINGTON. June 20.-A de-
tailed survey of the food situation in
Germany, a-Hungary, Bulgaria,
and Turkey during 1917 has just been
published as Bulletin 242 by the Bur-
eau of Labor Statistics Of the U. S.
Department Of Labor. This survey is
based exclusively on laws, DEGREES, or
ders, utterances Of public officials
and civic bodies of the countries COW
cred, and on comments of the daily
press and leading economic and trade
journals of these countries.
In general, the survey shows that
Turkey is actually starving because of
the corruption of her own officials
and the greed of Germany; that Ger
many and Austria are not starving,
but are having a very hard struggle
to feed themselves; that Hungary is
in better shape than either Germany
or Austria, and that Bulgaria so far
as food is concerned, is suffering the
least of all the countries covered. The
survey also shows that Germany has
failed by wide margin to live up to
11cT reputation LOT efficiency III ner
attempts at food administration, hay
ing been obliged to reverse her poll
:cies in an effort to remedy in part the
fatal results of official plumbers. It
shows conclusively that the civil pop
ulations Of Germany and Austria are
suffering permanent physical deteri-
Grafton from lack of proper food, that
the death rate from tuberculosis is
rapidly increasing, that growing boys
and girls are not getting half the
nourishment they should have, and
that manual laborers are being un-
derfed to about the same extent.
Politically, the most interesting
thing revealed by the survey is the
fact that the traditional hatred be-
tween the two parts Of the dual
monarchy Austria-Hungary has be.1
manifesting itself in the refusal CT
Hungary to share her comparative
abundance with Austria and in the OF
fetal and public resentment of that
fact in the latter country.
Profiteering, greed, breakdown of
transportation, and faulty organiza-
ton are big factors in the food situa-
ton Of Germany and her allies.

EAT MORE FISH
AT THE ZELDA, JUNE %, "a, 25.


Fish production suffered when this
country entered the war. This was
not unnatural, because naval opera
tons of necessity diverted from the
fishing industry trawlers, shore YES
sells, and the fisherman who had
manned them. AS a result, custo-
mary peace-time channels of fish sup
ply were somewhat INSTRUCTED. The
shortage Of saltwater fish last win
ter and early this spring was in large
measure due to such causes. Now,
however, such hAndicaps have been
lightened, owing to the bility
of new fishing craft, the free admis
sion of Canadian trawlers to our fish
ing ports and the removal of many
state restrictions upon littoral fish
ing. AS result there is likelihood
of increased supplies of seasonal fish
in public markets during the coming
months.
Such an increase of national food
supplies is especially desirable at
present, for it will assist the public
in increasing it's fish consumption.
Nor should the patriotic citizen, eager
to conserve the nations food supplies,
find such a diet a hard one. In fact,
the protein content Of fish places it
practically on a level with meat, and
for the person of sedentary habits it
is preferable to meat, not imposing so
great a burden upon the kidneys in
the elimination of uric acid from ti'e
system.
Finally, fish is one Of the mos ap-
petizing and delicious of foods, and
one capable Of great variety in PR 49,

such savings thereby effecting CON

In Attempting to Live on
81 Weekly.

LET this world be made safe for
democracy first by giving to it's work
ing women what is theirs by. right
divine-the means to live decently,"
writes Mary O'Sullivan in an article
entitled keeping Decent on 81
Week." in June Life and Labor.
working for less than a minimum
wage is the worst form of industrial
slavery, and it is our imperative duty
to centralize and concentrate our ut
most energies upon the wiping out of
this slavery and the emancipation o.
those it holds in bondage"
Miss OSullivan relates her expert
ence in a department store where size
started to work for s. per week. At
the end of six months she received an
increase of 81. She says she trenltles
when she looks back at the might
mare" time when relatives she had
been living with left the city, and she
had to go to strangers and pay for
everything she needed.
81 Maximum Salary.
1T meant walking home after
hard days work, a matter of 20 blocks
or so,' she says. 1T meant staying
in on the warm summer evenings
when air and recreation would have
been beneficial and very necessary;
it meant very meager service in the
boarding house, and as a combined
result Of all, weary mind and body"
After repeated appeals for another
raise, long consideration on The part
Of her employers and humiliation for
her, Miss O'Sullivan says she was
again raised 81 week. The high in
crease In the cost of living at that
time made her position as hopeless
as before. She secured a room with
board for $50 month, clothes bought
on store "charge" cost her $3.50 a
month, which left her so cents for
life insurance, church collections,
amusements, possible illness, etc.
Philosophy Fails to Comfort.
Needless to say, my affairs were
constantly in the prOverbial state Of

''Who was the philosopher who w:otc
Nothing is bad, but thinking makes
it so?' The principles of neither the
stole nor Christion Scientists can do
much good when person starts a
month with capital Of SO cents as
encoura cement"
The exodus Of store clerks to gov
eminent work because Of higher
wages paid, is resulting in a queel
condition in the stores. Miss Osulli-
van declares.
Applications were few, and induce.
" ments had to be offered (by depart
n1ent stores) to supply the need for
salespeople. The result was that in
experienced help were given position,
in stores at a starting wage of 80 and
upwards, while the help who were,
shall say, faithful anu experienced,
received not a single dollar advance
beyond an occasional bonus to help
them forget the good jobs outside.
This is striking example Of justice
as exemplified by the employers"
