PARIS, Feb. 21.-By a unanimous
vote, with only two extreme radicals
abstaining, the Confederation Gen.
erale du Travail (The French Fedora
ton of Labor) adopted resolutions
urging a concrete statement of war
aims by the government, and de-
nouncing all secret agreements for an
nexation of territory. The confer
ence listened to repeated indictments
of the government because Of the &C.
cret treaty made with England and
Russia, giving France all German
territory on the left bank Of the
Rhine.
The resolution received 161 votes.
None were recorded against it. The
text is as follows:

STATE CONTROL OF ROADS

LONDON, Feb. 21.-British rail-
ways which have been under state
control since the beginning of the war
have been operated through an exec
utive committee Of general managers
Of railways. The working under one
control has resulted in many econo-
mics and proved of great advantage to
the state. Under the original agree
ment made with the companies. they
are guaranteed the same net surplus
as for 1913. .Afterward the compan-
les were given allowances in: prospect of
new capital employed. Irish railways
did not come under state control till

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Feb 21.-The
first step to merge organized labor
OF Minnesota with the Nonpartisan
league in an effort to "clean house at
the state capitol and to get repre-
sentation in the next legislature for
the workingman and farmer was taken
Tuesday afternoon when a. delegation
OF farmers, headed by Magnus John
son of Litchfield. Nonpartisan league
member, met with union men at the
Trades Union hall.
The farming delegation in the morn
ing appeared before Governor Burn
quist and demanded equal rights and
protection for all citizens" Not sat-
1sfied with the attitude of the cover
nor, the farmers went to the office of
United States District Attorney Alfred
Jaques to lay before the federal gov
eminent representative evidence that
the rights of citizens to assemble for
public meetings had been violated.
The farmers ask that the federal gov
eminent take some action to guaran-
tee them protection.
Failing to see Mr.. Jacques the dele
cation left the evidence with William
Anderson, assistant. The farmers will
see the district attorney next week
when they return to receive an an
swer from Governor Burnquist.

Following speeches by Nonpartisan
league and organized labor represent

which Governor Burnquist and the
public safety commission were severe

rotary Of War Baker, and Secretary
Of Labor Wilson, informing them Of
the failure of the street car company

Will PROVIDE
RECREATION FOR
SHIP WORKERS
Shipping Board Considers Wei.
fare Of Such Men Similar
to National Army.

WASHINGTON, Feb: 21.-The Uni
ted States hipping board, recognizing
the Importance Of keeping the morale
of the men employed in the shipbuild-
ing plants at ashigh standard in order
to facilitate work, is making com pre-
hensive plans to provide recreation
and amusement for those SO engaged
1T is pointed out that this is just as
necessary for the ship workers as it
has been found to be for the welfare
of the men in the National army.
The Shipping board recently made
the following statement:
''Fully realizing that many Of the
shipyards plants are new, and that in
other plants the number Of workmen
has been and will be greatly Increased,
that the accommodations and sur
roundings are not what they will be
at later date, the United States
Shipping board is making a compre-
hensive plan to provide means for
recreation and amusement for the men
who will be performing the necessary
and patriotic work in the yards.
1T is planned to work this out so
that the men themselves will have the
strongest voice in determining the
kinds and character of amusement
most suitable, and also as to how the
same shall be conducted; but Of ne
cessity, under all the conditions sur
rounding, it will be necessary t. ask
the aid Of various agencies already
organized that may be of definite as
Enthusiastically at the inception Of
the plan.
I'm this connection it is expected to
call upon the state councils of defense
in the various shipbuilding states, the
woman's committee, the Y. M. c. A.,
Red Cross, Knights Of Columbus, Y.
M. II. A., and others. IT,
1.-The fact that recreation has been
shown as a necessity for men in the
National army has made It evident
that the welfare Of shfpyard workers
must be taken care Of in a similar
way, as the work they ars now per-
forming is as essential, necessary, and
patriotic as can: be performed.

~. Uncorrected evils are the
greatest provocative to extremist pro-
paganda: There has been too little
publicity of an educatove sort in re-
gard to labor's relation to the war.
The purposes of the government and
the methods by which it is pursuing
them should be brought home to the
fuller understanding of labor. Labor
has most at stake in this war, and it
will eagerly devote it's all if only it be
treated with confidence and UNDER
standing, subject neither to indul-
gence nor neglect but dealt with as a
part Of the citizenship of the state"

PERSISTENCY Of
HUNS IN RUSSIA
BRINGS RE WARD

PARIS, Jan. 81 (by maiD Count
Nesselrode. one of the first Russians
to respond to the peoples demands
for a better share of the worlds goods
by distributing among them all of his
property except what he required for
his own living, says the growing dis
lance between the people of Russia
and those of Western Europe is due to
the neglect by the French and other
leading nations, except Germany, to
cultivate relations with the Russian
people.
He was exiled in 1905 by the govern
ment because of the bad example he
set to the nobility in giving his prop
erty to peasants. Since then he has
resided in France and become a natur,
allied citizen of the republic. A per
sonal friend of Kerensky, Count Mes
selrode was a fervent adherent to the
revolution and gave to the provisional
government what aid he could from
this end.
THE French are astonished at the
progress made by German influence in
Russia" he says, but they forget that
the Germans are simply reaping the
reward of persistent efforts that date
back to remote period" AS an ex-
ample Count Nesselrode points to the
great number of Russian students in
German universities where they were
aided, encouraged and cultivated in
every way, He puts the number just
before the war at $4,000.
Count Nesselrode has now been com
pletely ruined by the revolution, the
little property he had retained having
been sacked, devastated and appro-
priated, yet he keeps his faith in
final outcome of the revolution and
he considers it a great fault for the
nations of the entente to base their at
titude toward Russia on any other by
pOthesis.
