GERMANY AWAY SHORT
ON FOOD PRODUCTION

Z Berlin, July a. CCorrespon-
dence of The Associated Press) The
German deficit in food, the differ
ence between the amount produced
in Germany and Germany's normal
needs, amounts to S,6OO.OOO tons of
wheat, sne million tons of meat and
one million tons of fats. says the
Imperial Food Ministry.
Immediate payment for these nee
essary foodstufts with inland resour-
ces is unthinkable, the ministry as
serts. Only long term credits can
help and the acceptance of such
credits is only possible if Germany
works, for only then can the credi-
tors have confidence in paying abili-

They Better Not.
This is to serve notice on the edi-

Greenway- hidden Arizona, and that

throughout this state that it will be
heard from He'll to Wall street.
1t is too late in the day to monkey
with the labor buzz-saw. The
American Federation of Labor is not
putting in on this matter. It is going
to the Mesaba range at the urgent re-
quest of the Miners It is going there
to save it from it's fool friends. If
labor on the Mesaba range is work
ing under better conditions and at
higher wages than anywhere else in
the world" as the Tribune-Herald
asserts, then there is all the more rea-
son why the miners should organize
to save that which they have.
For >LabOr's Freedom.
This movement for organization on

ing and the right of the miners to
have voice in determining under
what conditions they shall work. It
is an American right. and every work.
ingman in this state will stand be-
hind them to see that it is granted.
The movement is not one to start

will be made by it's open enemies. and
even by it's luke warm friends on the
grounds that this is no time to pur-
chase on account of the high value
that will be put on steel rails. cars
and other equipment. But in the opin-
ion of The Labor World this is just
the hour to get busy The owners of
the company will not make the fight
upon the physical value of their plants
that they will make for good will,
and for the franchise which has II
years yet ITO run. The corporation is
considerably oVer-capitalized and
over-bonded. They will want to get
all this back, if they can. Ittis merely
question of driving a bargain and in
the last analysis the smallest feature
of the whole transaction will be the
item of physical valuation.
The'people can make up their minds
to this fact. that the longer the mat
ter is permitted to run and the larger
the city grows. the cost of acquiring
the property of the Duluth Street
Railway company will be more than
it is worth today; and. not less.
Mayor Magney has struck popu-
lar note. The people care with him,
and it is hoped that his fellow COM
n1issioners will back him. to the limit,
and that the legal department will
tackle the problem in earnest. and
with an energy that will make the
city's position in the matter clear, de-
finite and pregnate with purpose.
