DAKOTA POOL
HALL MEN TO
CLEAN HOUSE
Redemption of Business from
Bad Name Left to State
Organization

The North Dakota Billiard Mems
association Is to be given the priv
lege of doing its own house-clean'
ing, with no aid from DR.. F. l.. Wat
kins, chief OF the North Dakota Law
Enforcement league. The council of
defense so decided in executive SEES
sion this week, when it rejected mo-
ton by Attorney General LANCER that
Mr.. Watkins be made special inspec.
ton. officer to make certain that the
billiard men live up to the law.
The matter Of closing during the
harvest season, all or part time, also
was left up to the billiard men, who
had convinced the council that their
association was anxious to clear the
profession OF the bad odor which has
attached to it as any public body could
be. Just, what will be done about har-
vest time, in order that men necessary
to the business may be released for
work in the fields, will be brought up
at the annual state convention in Mi
not July 10, when every billiard hall
proprietor in North Dakota who is a
member of the association is urged to
attend.
j. e. Regan OF Mandan, president Of
the state association, regards the
council OF defense action victory
for the organization, and he has as
sured the council that the billiard
mems association will religiously live
up to the good works expected from 1t.

attention to the fact that under re.
cent act Of congress now in effect en-.
envy aliens who declared their inten-
ton OF becoming citizens not less than
two and not more than seven years
ago. or who were at that time entitled
to become a citizen without declaring
intention may proceed with their nat
uralization, provided a ninety-days no
ticc is given the commissioner or dep.
uty commissioner Of naturalization.
and providing further that the latter
does not file an objection. The new
act specifically provides that none of
its clauses shall be construed to in
terfere with or prevent the apprehen-
sion and removal, by law, of any alien
encmy at any time previous to the
actual naturalization OF such alien.
The new act does permit enemy aliens
who had declared their intentions and
who have given promise of becoming
good citizens TO embrace the stars and
stripes as thor flag. Formerly no sub
ject Of a country with whom America
was at war could become United
States citizen.

THE strike scheduled for today will
not take place for the present" said
Mr.. konenkamp. 1T is deferred and
I hope it will never be called. We be.
lieve we shall obtain Justice through
the agency of the government, and
iii this belief, not wishing to embar-
rass the government in the war, we
are willing to wait a reasonable time
for adjustment.
The strike call was issued after the
Western Union declined to accept de-
cisions Of the National War Labor
board Of complaints Of employees OF
the company that they had been dis.
charged because OF their utilization
with the union.
Washington, July S.-Thirty-twO
union telegraphers left their keys at

Ohio river and east of the Mississippi
conditions were normal except at
New Orleans. Union operators at
New Orleans were not permitted by
the company to go to work.
