Message to President

After the resolution had passed by the federation of labor a message was wired to President Wilson as follows:
 Phoenix, AriZ., April P, 191S To His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States,
 Washington, D. c.
 The executive board of the Arizona State Federation of Labor unanimously endorses the action of the Pacific coast unions and urges all workers in Ari- zona to cease work for twenty four hours on May first unless favorable action is granted in Mooney case. La bor cannot longer remain passive and witness the sacrifice of our brother on cross of legal technicalities, support ed by the hate of organized wealth True democracy. for the realization of which organized labor is cooperating with you to obtain for the people of the world, should not countenance the judicial rape that deprives Mooney of an untainted trial-the heritage from our fathers who founded this republic. ARIZONA STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR.
 By Geo. D. Smith, Secretary.
Arizona republican., 1918-04-23

and his special commission that in vestigated the Mooney case in San Francisco, tow-wit, that2 Thomas J. Mooney be freed of the first count and tried on another of the several re- turned by the grand jury, the Arizona state Federation of Labor yesterday passed a resolution calling for a strike of protest for A hours on May l. The resolution was passed unani- mously after receiving favorable voice from the various organizations af- filiated with the Arizona State Feder- alton of Labor, said Thomas J. Croaff, president of the organization, last night.
 ''All labor unions in the state, except the railroad brotherhoods and the I. w. w. are affected" said MT. Croaff. These, if they act, will act of their own accord. The state federation takes this action believing that the majority of union men affected arc in sympathy.
 MT. Croaff's Statement
 Labor does not believe that in win ming the war it is necessary for society to sacrifice Mooney. The policy of the government has been to discourage strikes until the agents of the federal government had opportunity to inves- tigate and act. The department of la Dor and the president investigated and acted. The presidents mediation con- mission, headed by the secretary of | labor, two representatives of labor, two representatives of capital, and the as- sistant secretary of war as counsel and secretary of the presidents commis- sion, after Investigating the copper i rouble in Arizona several months age went to San Francisco from here and investigated the Mooney case. The commission acted by reporting tc President Wilson in substance that Mooney had not received a fair trial | President Wilson then requested Gov ernor Stephens of California to extend executive clemency to Mooney. Cover nor Stephens still has the matter under Il advisement.
 The case went to the supreme court but was turned back through a techni. cality which made it impossible for tho supreme court to grant a new trial Mooney in consequence is to be re. sentenced April 27.
 "Labor's only method Of obtainin. justice in methods of this kind is b, folding it's arms in silent protest: anC it will thus hold them in protest tt the crime being committed in Califor. mia.
 'The position of labor is this: Tn, president and his agents have acted We act in support of his position il the natter

Flee tricity has been added to the one public utility which remained in continued service-water-and there were pros poets that gas soon would be turned on again. Meanwhile residents resurrect- ed old coaloil stoves or coal burning ranges and fired them with bits of wreckage where other fuel was not available. A meat market and a gro- cery store were open in each town and other stores plan to reopen tomorrow.

A few of the braver residents moved their beds back into their houses to- night, but others continued to sleep on improvised couches in their front yards or in beds moved out yesterday.
 Another personal injury due to the earthquake came to light today. John Shaver, one of the supervisors of Riv- erside county, was sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of his house when the shocks began. After the first tremor had subsided he found himself in the middle of his front yard. Today he declared two ribs were broken dur ing his transit from one location to the other.

a nationwide campaign to gather

garments, but they want to turn
them over to the Red Cross for dis
tribution as was done for Belgium.

plan and report on it to the national

Study Of German Dropped From
Fargo High School Courses; Is
Elective Study in Fargo Colleges

The position Of the German Ian
guage in the colleges and secondary
schools Of Fargo Is not what ii was,
although the local colleges, like the
majority Of colleges throughout
America, continue to offer German
as an elective study. 1t is not a.
required subject in any of the To-
cal schools.
The study OF the language of the
enemy has been dropped entirely
from the curriculum Of the Fargo
high schools, on action by the board
of education, the members of which
reached a decision about dropping
the language from the course OF
study before the close Of school in
the summer. The languages that
are available for study to the largo
high school students are Latin,
French and Spanish.
The Agricultural college has taken
similar action, the German language
no longer being offered to the pupils
of the high school department Of the
college but remaining an elective
study with the college students.
At Fargo college and at Concordia
college German will continue TO be
a subject whose study the pupil may
choose, while at the Moorhead Nor
NAL school no change has taken
guage never having been part Of
the course of study offered there.
The action Of the local schools and
colleges is in line with that fol-
lowed by the majority of the schools
