N|NE-H0UR DAY:
And 1:5PER CENT
RAISE, AWARD
State Arbitration Board Con.
Cedes Partial Demands Of
MiI|men's Union.

According to the decision of the
State Arbitration board, the employees
of ten local lumber and mill shops
will work nine hours a day instead of
ten, and will receive an increase of S
per cent in wages. The latter stipula-
ton is retroactive to May 10.
The local Cabinet Makers and Mill
mems Union presented demand for
increased wages on May /, which was
refused by the employers. Although
the president of the union was dis
charged because of his activities, the
members decided not to strike, ap-
pealing to the arbitration board.
After some delay, hearing was set
for Monday at st. Paul.
The union ~vas represented by
President Thor Thorsen and Secretary
J. A. Johnson, while several of the
employers were present, in addition
to their attorneys. After listening to
the testimony for about four hours,
the members of the board rendered
their decision after a short delibera-
ton.
The unions demand for recognition
was not conceded, the board holding
that the status quo would be MAIN
tanned. The union had no contracts
with the mill proprietors before the
war. "

5. 5. Mcdonald, Former Duluth.
Ian, Describes Conditions in
FIickertal State.

s. S. Mcdonald Of Grand Forks, N.
D., president of the North Dakota
State Federation Of Labor and one of
the leading trades unionists of the
Northwest, is visiting friends in the
city this week. Mr.. Mcdonald was a
former resident of Duluth, and took
a prominent part in the affairs Of the
local Federated Trades Assembly and
the Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor.
When asked what effect the Non
partisan league activities had had on
the farmers and workers of the Flick
ertail state, Mr.. Mcdonald launched
into an enthusiastic recital of events
since Governor Frazier was elected
governor about two years ago.
Double Rye Acreage.
I'm North Dakota this year the
farmers have planted 100000 more
acres of wheat than last" he said.
There has also been an increase of
100 per cent in the winter rye acre
age, 100000 more acres seeded to oats,
and larger acreages of all crops except
barley, for which the food administra-
ton has made no demand. A tour
throughout the state would impress
one that the farmers are not stacking,
but that they realize the importance
Of an increased production, and each
one is doing his utmost to accomplish
this result
up to the last session of the North
Dakota legislature Mr.. Mcdonald
continued, there had been no labor
legislation enacted, or even considered
by the lawmakers, consequently the
| workers had absolutely no safeguards
or protective standards. At the 1917
session, although we had no labor rep
| resentatives in the legislature, we had
! introduced seven bills of vital import
anee to the working men and women
| of the state.
Senate Reactinoary.
1.-The house was controlled by the
! Nonpartisan league, and it used it's in
fluence in support of these measures,
with the result that they all passed the
lower branch. In the senate, however,
conditions were different. The old po-
liticians were still in the majority,
with 81 votes, while the Nonpartisan
league members controlled 81. All of
our labor bills were defeated by the
senate. and it is significant that the
vote in each case was Fl in favor of
them and ~ against. :'>' "
AT the coming session it is ex-
pected that the bipartisan league
sympathizers will control both houses.
and the North Dakota trades union
lists are sanguine-yes confident-that
many laws long desired by labor will
be- placed upon the statute books"
Mr. Mcdonald has a son 10 years of
age who enlisted and is in training in
one Of the army camps.

Realizing the Importance Of pro-

propositions dealing with the subject.
The Tulsa Aged Painters Home and

II. Harrison, who is we'll known
throughout the membership for his
activities along this line.
In addition to Duluth Painters

Chairman Harrison has made the

YOUTHS STILL HAVE CHANCE
TO PICK BRANCH OF SERVICE

A big drive for recruits for the
United States regular army is being
conducted throughout the state under
the direction Of Major John d. Yost.
recruiting officer for the Minnesota
district. Special efforts are being
exerted by all recruiting officers in
the district to get in as many as pos
sible of the men who will be required
to. register June under the selective
service law. Voluntary enlistment for
men who have attained the age of FL
years since June S, 1917, will be i'm
possible after they register. From
that time on they will be unable to
select the branch of service in which
they wish to go, and will be compelled
to serve where they are sent.

upon.

''That Duluth be. given a square

turing opportunities and in every
thing else, believing that this city is

Mr.. Scribner is not unacquainted
with legislation, and his wide knowl-
edge of public matters, as we'll as
previous connection with the state
administration, are looked upon as
eminently fitting him for the office
for which he has filed. He seeks
the office purely on a patriotic basis,
believing that he can best serve his
people there, for the reason that his
definite ideas ON public matters and
his experience fit him for the place.

Wholesale RobberieS.

Chicken stealing IN Wilmington wa,
curtailed ON saturday Detective Ma
honey arrested two Negroes giving their

sponsiblc in great measure for the whole

carried basket and the detective fol-
lowed them in the house and discovered
that the basket contained dressed chickens
which they were about TO sell, having
scales to weigh the fowls.
The two men were to have been ar
raigned in City Court today, but Cox

Gross, the man will be unable to leave the

attend court, and this request was met
and he was held under $500 bail in each
case. Williams claimed that Cox paid
him for helping sell the chickens.

Victory Bread contains 20 per cent Of
wheat substitute From nov on every
baker, big or little Is required 10 mix 20
per cent Of other cereals with flour N
making bread.
BE sure your baker Is supplying YOU
with Victory Bread If he Is not YOU will
help along the Victory by reporting the
facts TO the Food Administrator az once
Housewives who do their own baking
should use more substitutes than the
baker, as the bakers bread has 70 keep
over 24 hours and stand handling
The real Victory Bread for the house
hold is corn bread, corn cakes and buck
wheat cakes.
People OF this country do not realize
how serious conditions arc abroad The

the French official Ii was this there was
not more than three or four days supply
in the country Ii the supplies Of wheat
from the United States were cut of the

DIR. Coan proved wonderful talker.
Born in the mission lands of the Far

strange religious beliefs, what he had TO
say was nothing new TO hun. 1t was
relation Of daily cXpcriences-his very
life itself.
His description Of the massacres through
which the Armenians and Syrlans have
passed, were astounding, but no more
surprising than his statement OF what
American missionaries had done among
these Eastern people.

the men Of Grace congregation and their
