FALSE STORIES
OF WEALTnLURE
LABOR TO STATE
Laborers Told Farmers In

Them At Trains
THREE HUNDRED
ARE GIVEN WORK
True Situation Sees Coun-
ties Being Bonded For
Seed and Feed

A prosperous northwest with farm
ers driving to the stations in automo-
/ biles and meeting farm help and Of
fering SIS to $50 a month wages,
| mirrored to laborers by Chicago and
! twin city labor agencies. has resulted
in a surplus Of help for North Dakota
! lish, examiner for the government
| labor Office in Fargo.
"A good conscientious class of
working people has been lured to the
northwest by these tales Of fortune
making and prosperity Of the farm
/ ers by labor agencies seeking q rail-
| road commission on each head sent
] into the west when in fact counties
are bonding for seed and feed. These
/ laborers have come into my Office
with their wives and even their chill
North Dakota farm, said the examin-
er. THE truth of it all is that there
is a surplus Of labor in the state
right now"
Wages being paid for farm help in
the state are about 81 day or $50
month with room and board. Opera
tors Of farm tractors can get from
$40 to $50 with room and board, and
married couples may find employ
ment at wages of $40 and $50 per
month. According to Mr.. English
season jobs go begging. The labor
ers want to take work by the day or
the month, so very few season con-
tracts are signed.
The surplus Of help is not
confned TO the state of North Dako-
Ia, but to South Dakota as well, ac-
cprding to reports reaching the Far
go government office from labor
bureaus in that state. According to
Mr.. English 1t is a farmers own fault
IL he is having trouble in obtaining
help during the spring operations
which are now general through the
state, because the farmer Is not TAX
ing advantages Of the government
labor bureau which is open to him.
On the other hand, the Iaborer is not
asked to pay fee for being sent to
a North Dakota farm as the gov
eminent station is operated in the
interest of the farmer and the labor
err.
The Fargo government bureau
opened for business just two weeks
ago last Monday and within that
time has supplied North Dakota with
more than 500 laborers. The bureau
now has on file applications from
several married couples who have
been attracted to the state by the
prosperous tales. and would like
to procure work together. The bureau
Is very anxious TO place this kind
Of help for 1T usually is permanent
and in the end means that the hus-
band and wife finally spot a choice
piece of land and later become good
resident farmers of the state.
Railroads are reporting a scarcity
Of labor in the state of Montana for
construction work. which they say
will seriously handicap railroad
maintenance and betterment work so
vitality essential to the successful
prosecution Of the war. This short
age OF railroad help is said to range
from 10 to so per cent.

Ferocity of Fighting on Front
Above Quentin Unprecedented

B BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, October / (Reuter's).-The
battle along the St. Quentin-Camb
front was resumed this morning on
scale of ferocity unequaled in the
present war. The Germans have
brought up large reserves and are re-
sisting and countering with desperate
determination. The Canadians north
Of Cambria are engaged against at
least eight German divisions. nearly
one hundred thousand men.

ians are working up the trenches of
the Hindenburg system in the direc-
tion of Gouy and have taken Estrees
and maintained their ground. Last
evening the allied forces reached the
high ground southeast of Levergies
and were along the line of the jon

five miles north of st. Quentin, marks
the point of the wedge driven far into
the German line in this sector.)
Pinching Out Cambria.
North of Cambria the British are
again progressing, but bodies of the
enemy continue to hold out in the city
itself. The British therefore are con-
tinuing their pinching out plan.

Elsewhere along the front strong
battle patrols were pushed out to
probe the enemy's defenses, and great
accommodating activity is proceeding
which should largely clear the sltua-
ton.
In general, the British armies are
eating their way through the Hin
denburg defenses, beyond which lie
the possibilities of completely open
warfare.
Some particularly valuable terri
tory was won by the British first and
thirty-second divisions on the front
between ST. Quentin and LIE Catelet
This included the whole of LIE Iron
uuoy and it's formidable tunnel sys-
TEN, with more than 500 prisoners.
Slowness Of Progress.
The comparative slowness of the
progress in the last twenty-four
hours is accounted for no less by the
wild weather than by the stern enc
my resistance. The advance has been
sure, however, even if it lacked speed,
and in the face of the conditions 1t
may be considered remarkable that
the attacking forces should have got
ten on through the Hindenburg net
work as far as they have.
There was hard fighting for Pro-
Vile, west of Cambria. before it fin
ally fell. The British lines have been
drawn still closer at Cambria, and
the British hold the junction of the
Cambrai-Arras and Cambria apaume
roads.

German influence is alleged. One
official is accused of general mis-

The charges are of such a serious
