TO UNITE LABOR
UNIONS OF WORLD
'CBy Associated Press.)

St Paul, Mimi, June 11.-A report
emphasizing President Wilson's posi-
ton as world leader in a war, Civ
ing details or the result of its meet
ings with English and French labor
leaders and recommending the es-
tablashment of an international fed
Grafton of trade unons today was
submitted to the annual convention
Of American Federation of Labor, by
the American labor mission which
recently returned from Europe.
James Wilson of Washington, chair
man Of the mission presented the re-
port. The conferences held in var
dous parts Of England and France
extended over to the battlefront
proved Of immense value, according
to the report because of the opport-
unity they gave for an exchange Of
opnons, viewpoints and policies.
''As a result" the report said, cit
was possible to clearly and definitely
state the attitude and policy of the
American Federation Of Labor on
war aims and to give the reasons
which had prompted American trade
unionists to adopt these policies
enced the program Of the movement
in the allied nations.
referring to the respect In which
President Wilson Is held in the al
lied countries, the report said in
part:
mo matter in what differing in
dustrial or political circles, we found
ourselves there was the same pro-
found admiration for him. His ac-
tons and utterances have inmeasur-
ably heartened the people OF the al
he'd countries"

TAX VALUE. OF
FARGO PROPERTY
IS $7,474,27O

The assessed valuation Of real es-
tate and personal property in Fargo
for 1918 Is $7,474 .270, according to a
statement presented the city COM
mission, sitting as a board of equal
ization this morning, by John Vets,
city assessor.
Real estate is assessed at $2,5S7.s
1875, and improvements at $S,115,995.
Personal property is assessed at ST.
770550.
The personal property assessment
does not include automobiles, trucks
or motorcycles, the assessed Valua-
tion in Fargo OF which would be ap-
proximately 100000, which are ex-
empted from general taxation under
the state motor vehicles act. This
leaves the assessed valuation for
1918 approximately 100000 less than
in 1917 when the total was $780,
000
There is, however. excluding motor
vehicles, an increase Of approximate
ly S4O0, 600 in the 1918 assessment,
which cannot be accurately coupled
with the several assessments because
of the action of the state tax COM
mission in raising the assessment on
certain classes of real estate and
lowering it on certain classes of per-
sonal property.
The city commission will continue
to sit as a board of equalization at
10 o'clock each morning. except Sun
day, to hear complaints.
