The Work or Fight order now
includes every man of whatever
age. We must each find some
thing to do. All of us cannot han
die pick or shovel, but we can
and must do something. And it is
a dandy good order as well. Why
should one eat who has meyer pro-
duced anything, but, instead has
slid along the lines of least resist
ance all his life? The new order
is not asking impossibilities. 1t is
not required of us that each shall
raise crop of wheat or an acre of
corn. But each must do some
thing besides waste the precious
hours in purely idle existence. 1t
will ruake a better old world for all
of us to live in if we cheerfu1ly
conform to the order of the Safety
Commission.

the employed. This board will
have jurisdiction over recruiting
and distributing labor in it's To-
cality.
A survey of the labor require,
ments is being made, and in order
that each community may be
fully protected, rulings have been
issued that no labor shall be
transported out of any commun-
ity by the U. S. Employment
Service without the approval Of
the State Director; nor shall any
labor be removed by the Service
from one state to another with
out the approval of the U. S.
Employment Service at Wash
ington. Every effort will be
made to discourage any move
ments from community to COM
munity or state to state by any
other service.
This labor program has the ap-
proval of all producing Depart
ments Of the Government, through
the War Labor Policies Board.
1t must be understood that
farm labor will be protected, for

Ely is one big garden spot. Go
where you will and the 'taters and
the cabbages arc coming right
along. A little thirsty perhaps
but still doing fine. Could the
Beast of Berlin see Minnesota to-
day he would ditch any ideas he
might have on starving America
out. And there are war gardens
from Ely to New Orleans, two
thousand miles away, and from
coast to coast for five thousand
miles more. On every side the eats
are growing and coming on fine
and so far we have not come to a
substitute for a substitute. The
pie is just as thick as those that
mother used to make, and the jam
is just as sweet. The Berlin papers
will not copy this item.

1t looks now as if Ely would be
located on the Minnesota Scenic
highway system of auto roads. The
highway commission will meet on
August 2, at Cass Lake and dis
cuss the above proposition. And
why not Ely? Ely can deliver the
goods. Where can more beauti-
full drive be taken than from Du-
luth to Ely, or vice-a-versa? And
where can more wonderful lakes be
found, or wooded drives to excel
ours? There are none. Elyans
should see to it that we are clearly
marked in red on the maps of this
commission.

Judge Moylan, of Eveleth, went
out to Finnish dance which was
being held near his city and put
up flag on the Socialist hall
where the dance was being held
And he told the young people to
go home and tell their parents that
this was America and that after
the war was over the finger of
scorn would be pointed at them
and that invitations would be
offered them to go home where
they came from unless more pat
riotism toward the country that
was feeding them was shown. And
that is just what must come when
this war is over. Every American
must go personally to his senator
or representative and say to them
that laws must be enacted whereby
a foreigner will be compelled to
show his hand. He must be for
us, or against US. If against us,
then send him back to his beloved
country. Offer him citizenship.
Give him a reasonable time to ac-
cept. Then if he fails ship him
back. And ship him back. We
have been too blamed easy in the
past. Make this America for Am
ericans. Cut out the foreign Ian
guages and make the American
language THE language of Ameri-
ca.

Forest rangers report the wanton
destruction of moose in the waters
north of here. Three carcasses of
slaughtered animals were found in
Bass Lake this week. Only one
hind quarter had been removed
from a cow moose found while a
big bull and calf were untouched.
This is vandalism pure and simple
and there is no excuse for it. Par
ties making a practice of shooting
at everything that moves should
be taken out of circulation. Had
the animals been killed for food,
would have been bad enough, but
to deliberately waste this muchly
needed meat is crime.

Governor Burnquist did not
mince matters in the Blooming

action simply goes to show that he
is not afraid of his horses, state

blooming idiots in Blooming Prai-
RE to think they could bluff the
chief executive of the state and the
people behind him. Constant in

the farmer supplied with labor.
The requirement that unskilled
labor must be recruited through
the sole agency of the u. S. EN-
ployment Service does not at
present apply in the following
five cases:
l. Labor which is not directly or
indirectly solicited.
2. Labor for the railroads.
3. Farm labor-to be recruited in
accordance with existing ar
rangement with Department
of Agriculture.
4. Labor for non-war work.
5. La BOZ for establishments
whose maximum force does
not exceed one hundred.
When the survey Of labor re-
quirements has been. made and
the aggregate demand for un-
skilled labor in war work is
found, each State will be as
signed a quota, representing the
common labor to be drawn from
among men engaged in non-es-
sential industries in that State.
These State quotas will in turn
be distributed among localities
Within each locality, employers
in non-war work, including those
who are only partially in war
work, will be asked to distribute
the local quotas from time to
time amongst themselves. Quotas
by localities and individuals are
to be accepted as readily as they
are for Liberty Loan and Red
Cross campaigns. This plan Of
labor quotas is a protection for
all communities.
The object is to keep any COM
munity from being drained of la
Dor, and to use local supply, as
far as possible, for local demand
The situation, however, is such
that in certain cases some men
may have to be transported over
long distances.
From the above outline it will
be noted that this is probably the
most drastic action that the Gov
ernment has taken since putting
the National Army draft into ef-
feet. The absolute necessity for
this program can be seen when it
is realized that in Pittsburgh, for
instance, there are advertise
ments calling for men to go to
Detroit; while in Detroit street
cars there are posters asking men
to GO to Pittsburgh. This same
condition is apparent all over
the United States and in the con-
sequent shifting Of labor great
part of our war effort is dissi-
pated.

DRAFT LABOR
Government Taking Drastic Step
to Relieve Shortage.

| On August l, the supplying Of
war industries with common Ia
Dor will be centralized in the U.
S. Employment Service of the De
partment of Labor, and all indie
pendent recruiting Of common Ia
Dor by manufacturers having a
payroll Of more than 100 men will
be diverted to the u. S. Employ
ment Service. This is in accord
ance with the decision Of the War
Labor Policies Board and ap-
proved by the President on June
IL. (The War Labor Policies
Board is composed of representa-
tive of the War, Navy, and Agri-
cultural Departments, the Ship
ping Board and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, the War In
dustries Board, and the Food,
Fuel, and Railroad Administra-
tions. It's chairman is Felix
Frankfurter, Assistant to the Sec
retary Of Labor.)
The above action was found
necessary to overcome a perilous
shortage Of unskilled labor in war
industries. This shortage was
aggravated by an almost univer-
sal practice of labor stealing and
poaching.
While the restrictions against
the private employment of labor
apply only to common labor at
the present time, these restric-
tions will, as soon as possible, be
extended to include skilled labor
for war production will be sub
ject to federal regulations now
being prepared.
This drastic change in the Ma
tion's labor program has been
found necessary in order to pro-
tect the employer and the en-
ployed, to conserve the labor sup
ply Of the communities and to cut
down unnecessary and expensive
labor turnover (which, in some
cases, is as high as 100 per cent

While non-essential industries
will be drawn upon to supply the
necessary labor for war work,
the withdrawal will be conducted
on an equitable basis in order to
protect the individual employer

Under the operating methods
adopted, the country has been di-
vided into thirteen federal dis
tricts, each district in charge of
superintendent of the u. S. En-

within each district are in turn
in charge of a State Director,

InlS means an average saving
of 3.4 lbs. of wheat per week by
each family. This is practical
