The adoption Of a national labor pol
Icy that not only will recognize but will
compel good faith and honor in the con-
tractual relations Of employer and em-
ployee, and in which personal right to
hire and to discharge at will. and to
leave and to strike at will, are subordi-
mated to law, is urged in a letter sent
last night to the members of the Ma
tional Association Of Credit Men by j..
Harry Tregoe. its secretary-treasurer.
In brief. thu association would create a
medium that will require observance Of
contracts and the granting Of conditions
that spell fair play TO all alike.
Incidentally, occasion il taken to
launch another broadside against high
prices, as in the same letter 1t II de-
clared that the remedy to change pres
emit conditions rests In increasing pro-
duction and stimulating personal saw
ings. Extravaganza Is emphasized to
be the greatest economic danger con-
fronting the nation to-day.
In discussing the labor question Mr..
Tregoe said:
1.-THE right to hire and discharge at
will implies the CONVERSE right to
| leave ana TO Strlke at VIII. 6OIu Oh
these rights, at least up to the present
undelegated to Government, are under
| the control of natural laws, and when
| misused carry a moral injury.
I'VE cannot permit in this nation OF
ours, with its ideals and traditions, the
domination OF personal rights over pub
lie welfare and happiness, and therefore
| we must have a labor policy-a policy
/ not only recognizing but compelling good
faith and honor in the contTactual rela-
lions of employer and employee in which
personal right to hire and to discharge
a. will and to leave and to strike at will
arc subordinated to law, the provision
of medium that with fearlessness and
| unprejudice will require the observance
| of contracts and the granting of condi-
lions that spell fair play to all alike
| and give to them all opportunities for
advancement. for comforts and even for
the culture toward which our best az
| pirations should tend.
| I'VE do not want to throttle business
| we do not want TO advocate anything
| but the composed movement of natural
! laws, nor anything but what Is reason
| able under present conditions to remove
the danger to the economic structure and
| the great burden upon the people al
large, but until increased production and
savings become actual facts prices will
not fall. The times surely call for the

italian Merchant. Require Credit

Americans who hope to export goods
TO Italy should understand that little
business with that country is possible
unless they are prepared to grant credits.
according to a report by Consul f. II.
F. Dumont at Florence.
Three months is the customary tims
allowed. he says, but to compete with
European nations the period for Ameri.
can exporters is more likely to be six
months on account of the time required
to get their goods to Italy.
Italy's requirements at present are
said to be extensive. Textiles, raw ma
terals for the cotton, woollen. jute arc
linen industries. hides and leather, dyes
&c, are among the articles in greatest

The city fathers are wrestling with
the problem Of disposing of Minot's
sewage, which has always proved very
obnoxious to the people living below
the city at this time Of the year. The
water is at its lowest stage during
July and August and the slow running
stream fails to carry away all Of the
sewage. City Engineer Thomas ia
vors building a modern sewage dis
posal plant with incinerator. To do
this it would be necessary to vote a
bond issue of something like $3.50, 900,
but Minot would have a sewage dis
posal plant second to none in the west.
Commissioners Shaft and Malm sug-
gest building dam below the city to
raise the water in the river about five
feet, the dam to be provided with q
flushing arrangement so that the
sewage collected might be shot out
into the stream below at intervals
This would be much cheaper and
might work fairly well. There would
sof course, be q period while water is
again collecting above the dam when
the sewage might prove obnoxious
Some definite action will be taken
at an early date and it is hoped that
the trouble will be eliminated before
another year rolls around.

A race war is in progress in Chi
cago. The death list mounted to 26,
including about as many whites as
negroes. The war started over col
ored boy crossing the white line while
in bathing in the lake. He was pelted
with stones by white boys and driven
from raft, drowning. Negroes asked
the arrest Of the white boys and when
the officers refused to arrest them, q
fight started. Several deaths result
ed and the war extended to the negro
district on the south side, where APP
proximately 10000 colored folks live.
The battles have extended to all parts
of the city. Many negroes have been
attracted to Chicago by reason Of the
high wages paid in factories and many
Of them own valuable property IN. the
desirable residence districts. Since
the negroes took part in the war. they
consider that they have more rights
than formerly and we can expect con-
siderable trouble in the future.

Jim Scofeld, in company with gov
eminent Inspector Suratt, has just
completed thorough survey Of crop
conditions thruout this section. In
spector Suratt states chat the rust so
prevalent in the eastern and southern
sections Of the state is fully as general
here. It's effect upon early wheat is very
slight but the late sown grain is badly
infected. In summing up conditions
the inspector staes that five or six
bushels at the most will be the aver
age and even that will be of inferior
quality. While the outlook is quit,
discouraging, let us hope that later
rains may improve the forage crops
to such an extent that we shall be en-
abled to wintcz. our stock in fair
shape.

The government is doing well to in
vestigate the brutal treatment of AM
erican soldiers in certain detention
camps in France. From reports that
have come out in the investigation, it
seems that the Germans could not
have treated the American prisoners
any worse than some of the American
officers treated their men who mad
been arrested for minor offenses. Ev-
idence shows that many of the .Ameri-
can soldiers were logged in the pres
ence Of the higher officers. One Ser
geant says that he took part in the
fogging of approximately one hundred
of these boys. He was compelled to
fog them, he says, because he was
threatened with being turned over to
the prisoners themselves had he not
obeyed the commands. When the men
had been beaten so horribly that the
blood was flowing from their bodies,
the hose would be turned on them.
Many were struck with black jacks.
Others were handcuffed to a wall and
beaten. Many were placed in solitary
confinement for ofenses no worse than
smoking. Lieut.. lizard Boiled" Smith
takes the blame for much of this bru-
tally, but there is disposition to be-
lieve that he is being used as "the
goat" to shield officers higher up.
Much of the responsibility for this
brutality must be laid to Gen. Harris,
the investigation proves. It would
seem that term in Leavenworth
would be altogether too easy for them.
They should be administered dose of
the same medicine they compelled
these poor boys to take.

It has been contended for some time

ahead of Grand Forks for second place
and these figures 60 to prove that this
claim is well founded.

FIGHTING GRASSHOPPERS.
A number of farmers have inquired
at the Agricultural County Agents Of
flee whether or not grasshoppers will
deposit eggs in the stubble fields, and
if fall rye sown on stubble will in
crease the grasshoppers next year.
It has been clearly demonstrated
this year that the female grasshopper
will deposit her eggs in the stubble
fields and large percentage of the
rye fields that were sown on stubble
last fall were badly infested with hop
pers. The increased acreage of fall
rye sown on stubble and favorable
Matching conditions during the last
three years is the cause of the grass
hoppers being here in such large num-
bers this year.
as they are in this state, they will be
found laying eggs in large numbers
along ditch banks, road sides, stubble
fields and vacant lands, and the
chances are good that, with favorable
conditions next spring, great deal Of
damage will be done to the crops next
year. q
# the egg pods are broken open, the
Ilulvluudl eggs QrV out ana 90 not
hatch. Fall or spring blowing is the
most effective means of destroying the
eggs and should be done wherever
possible. If the soil is light, it should
be made firm to prevent.;the young
hoppers from making their way to the
surface. Thoroughly discing the land
is also good method to destroy the
eggs. The land should be disced and
cross disced to the depth of three
inches. This should be done in late
fall or early spring as the eggs are
not all deposited until late fall.
We have seen this year what grass
hoppers will do if their progress is
not checked and it is the duty Of every
farmer to do his part in destroying the
breeding grounds and the eggs this
fall and next spring.
