Retailers, he said, were respons-

warned the labor world, would
only make matters worse and
those who sought to employ
threats or coercion were only
"preparing their own destruction"

Present laws, he said. would be en-

Plumb Warns Com
merce Commission

Washington, August 8.-AH
day long from a witness chair
before the House interstate
commerce committee, Glenn E.
Plumb, counsel for the railroad
brotherhoods and author of or
ganized labor's plan for tri-
partite control of the railroads,
responded today to sharp ques-
tioning from the semi-circle of
committee members who called
on him to explain every phase
of the labor bill.
Through it all. Mr.. Plumb chung stead-
Easily to the assertion, numberless times
repeated, that the railroad unions aim
ed Ito eliminate the motive of operation
for profit, and substitute the motive OF
operation for service" to which he added
the corroIlary that sit means democracy
in industry, without which democracy
in politics is mere shell and sham
Gravely, Plumb talked of revolution as
an alternative in case the adoption OF
'sorne such plan was not obtained by
political action through congress, and
said that was the determination of the
masses of men whom he represents,
though I hope never to live to see the
day"
The income of the Plumb league plan
organized to forward the labor bilFs
passage, he said, was in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 or $t25.0O0 annually now"
though only organized in July. He es-
tinfated that it's income shortly will be
$4,000 and implied that it might run
up to five or six millions All of it, he
said, was coming from brotherhood
members.
1.-The situation is, that our men believe
they have Just come to a new day MIR.
Plumb told the committee. They have
spent their money and their lives TO
secure liberty and have found that with
out liberty and democracy. in industry
they have only the shell of liberty to
1--we. We intend TO get it lawfully, and
through the constitution, by the ballot.
Put if that is not possible, what will
be done?1 Representative Saunders, Re
publican Indiana asked.

Public School News.

The use of the Whittier building for
the lower grades has been discontinued
and now they are very comfortably
housed in the high school building
with the others, and still we have
some room left in the gymnasium. The
district can be congratulated on the
very fine high school building that can
be so easily adapted for the use Of
the grades. When the new grade
building is completed, Princeton will
have very practical, sensible and up
to-date school plant.
The furniture for the gymnasium
auditorium is all on hand except some
seats for the gallery and, if the stage
could be fitted up with good equip
ment of scenery and curtain, we should
have one Of the finest auditoriums of
the kind in the state of Minnesota.
Domestic science equipment has not
been received and so the pupils and
teacher in that department are max
ing the best of it with some old tables
for the time being. The Red Cross
society has kindly consented to loan
some of it's sewing machines for the
present to help out.
The high school enrolment is grow
ing very rapidly. Almost as many en-
rolled now as for the entire last year,
including the normal. The upper
grades are considerably crowded but
otherwise everything is working out
nicely.

One of the most important decisions
made by the local board of health for
some time was reached at today's
meeting in the city hall and concerns
the establishment of a free dispensary
for 'he children of the city.
This action has been expected for
some time by Mae Mccullough, visit

pleasure was expressed when the an

The free dispensary is carrying out
an important part of the program as

At a special meeting Of the Red

Although a suitable location has
not been secured as vet, 1t is supposed

The number Of nurses in the state
is considered inadequate. Important
steps will be taken in the near future
to increase the number Of school
nurses, visiting nurses and COM

The commissioners of the various
counties will find it necessary to ap-
point school nurses If the bill which
is at the present time pending in
mandatory that all counties have at
least n nurse to visit all the schools
in that county.

RURAL TEACHER
SHORTAGE FELT
Fewer Candidates Enroll
During the Past
Year.

There is a general shortage of
teachers in the state of North Dakota,
mostly rural, and the western part of
the state seems to be the, part that is
the most in need. The Red river val
ley district has two vacancies. but
urgent calls are being sent from all
parts of the state for applicants. In
some parts of the state the labor
bureaus have been asked for assist
ance in procuring rural teachers, it
was learned here today.
There is really only one solution to
this which is that many Of the insti-
buttons which have for their object
the training Of teachers are enrolling,
during the present year, many per
cent fewer candidates than they have

In addition to this, there are not SO

part of those who have already had
their training; and many who under

kinds of activity. Grand Forks coun-
ty has been fortunate in procuring

The fact is the Germans expected,
upon signing the armistice. i'm
urdia,ely to find the worlds markets
again al their disposal and many Of
them even believed American and
other charities would rush forward
and send them foods,uiis OF certain
kinds as free giits. They were, and
remain, like children, who, after pun
ishment expect cake.
