WASHINGTON, Feb 22-American
labor's Endorsement of war aims as
stated by President Wilson and recog
milton that the war against Prussian-
ism is workingman's war is recorded
in a declaration issued tonight by the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor at the close of a
seven-day session at headquarters
here.
The declaration says the peace par
leys between Russia and Germany
have shown the futility of diplomatic
negotiations until the German militar-
lists are convinced they can not super
impose their will on the rest of the
world, and that spontaneous uprisings
in Germany have demonstrated that
the militarist government still is
stronger than the movement there for
emancipation.
A gigantic struggle lies ahead and
now is the time when all workers must
soberly face the grave Importance of
their daily work, says the declaration,
and it adds:
Give workers decent place to live,
protect them against conditions to
take all their wages for bare existence,
give them agencies whereby grievan-
ces can be adjusted and Industrial JUS
tice assured, make it plain that their
labor counts in the winning of war
for greater freedom-not for private
profiteering and workers can conf
IDENTIFY be expected to do their part.
Workers are loyal They want to do
their share for the republic and for
winning the war"
Only Two Paths Ahead.
Following is a text of the declara-
tion
1--WE are face to face with a world
crisis. We are in world struggle
which will determine for the immedi-
ate future whether principles of dem
ocratic freedom or principles of force
shall dominate. The decision will de-
termine not only the destiny of nations
but of every community and of every
individual. No life will be untouched.
Either the principles of free democ-
racy or of Prussian militaristic autoc-
racy will prevail. There can be no
compromises. So there can be nc neu-
trality among nations or Individuals

Must Buy Real Estate In
Order TO Get Work.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Tom Barker,
secretary of the Los Angeles county
building trades council, has presented
government officials with evidence that
workers must buy real estate before they
can secure employment at the Los An
geles Ship Building and Dry Dock COM
pany's plant.
The real estate is handled by VIM. I.
Hollingsworth, member of the ship
company.
Barker's evidence is supported by afi-
davits which show that workers were as
sured employ ment if they bought lot of
the so-called Harder City tract" Ray

chased 5000 lot with the understanding

aligned against US in this world war
for freedom, but we hope they viii
sweep away the barriers which they
have raised between US. Freedom and
the downfall of autocracy must come
in middle Europe We doubly well
come the change if it comes thru the
workers of those countries.
while this war shall last, we shall
be working and fighting shoulder to
shoulder with fellow workers of Great
Britain, France and Italy. We ask
the workers of Russia to make COM
mon cause with US, for our purpose is
their purpose, that finally the freedom
lovers of all countries may make the
world safe for all peoples to live in
freedom and safety"

The instincts of woman and the in
terest of labor are conjoined in the
union label. Both stand for cleanli-
ness, morality, the care of the young,
the sanctity of the home; both stand
against strife and force. The union
label makes woman the strongest, as
she is the gentlest of Gods creatures.

The mistress of the household repre-
sents the purchasing power" She
cannot 60 on strike, but she can obvi-
ate the necessity of striking by de-
manding the union label.

BAND PLANS RECITAL
FOR UNIFORM FUND

The Bemidji band has set a date,
January 80, for giving concert and
special musical program at the
Grand theater, the proceeds to 60. TO-
wards q FUND With which to purs
chase uniforms for the organization.
The band members have been
donating their services In most
liberal manner as a part of Be-
midji's patriotic celebrations and In
other ways without one cent of COM
pensation, and in some instances
great sacrifices to some of the mem
bers. The band needs uniforms bad
ly, and to be frank about 1t the band
boys are ashamed to appear In pub
lie wearing the nondiscript uniforms
A portion of the uniforms are yet
serviceable with some attention, but
the rest of them are moth eaten and
down and out. That's why of late
the band has not worn uniforms in
several instances.
AS the big feature Of the concert,
one of the rising pianists of the
country has been engaged to pre-
sent part Of the program. He is
John Jacob Beck Of Minneapolis, a
graduate of Northwestern cOnserva-
tory, and a pupil of the Klinworth
Scharwenka conservatory in Berlin.
Wherever he has appeared, press no.
tices have been flattering, and he re-
Gently refused long engagement
with a prominent chautauqua COM
pany.
There will also be band selections,
readings and also musical numbers
by band members. The detailed pro-
gram has not been perfected but will
be we'll worth hearing.

efficiency Week" Named
Second Week In January

"The experience of these various
bodies during the past year will un-
doubtedly be of much help for the
planning of the work which must be
done during 1918. The months that
have just passed have taught us that
we cannot begin too early the sys-
tematization of our endeavors for the
new year.
minnesota is one of the most i'm
portant subdivisions of the United
States. Its great milling, transporta-
tion and many other industries are
necessary to an efficient prosecution
of the war. It's immense iron and
timber resources are essential to the
successful termination Of the conflict:
Its millions of acres of agricultural
land must be utilized to the fullest
possible extent in the raising OF such
crops and livestock as are most need
ed for the feeding and clothing of our
soldiers and sailors, for the mainte-
nance of the citizens of our own
country and for the support of the
starving peoples Of other lands
