Umo'lmpaty IS Lacking

The American Federation OF Labor
in convention assembled, unanimously
rejected a recommendation to form a
political party composed OF organized
labor, according to a Geographic report
from Atlantic City, the convention city.
This unanirnity looks strange In the
light of recent developments in the labor
world. Everybody knows that since
the beginning of the year large con-
tingents of workingmen many OF them
belonging to the American Federation of
labor, have formed new independent
political labor organizations. In Mime
sofa, the official body of the State Fedora
ton entered the field of politics during
the last election for governor and only
very recently the North Dakota federa-
ton of Labor, at it's annual convention
at Minot, June Is, took steps to unity
with the political activity OF the farmers
and decided to form political organiza-
ton which will cooperate with the Non
Partisan League. The resolution en-
bodying this decision speaks plainly of
Esthe necessity of political action on the
part of men and women who believe in
industrial, political and social demo-
cracy". Mr.. Gompers' following on this
point does not seem so very strong after
all.

While the federal grain corporation
is chewing over the problem OF prevent
ing congestion in the grain markets next
fall the Mill and Elevator association OF
North Dakota is going ahead with a real
remedy. J. A. McGovern, the recently
appointed head of this new state enter
prise, announces the association Will
push a system of storage units on farms.
The farmers with bins that meet specltl-
cations can notify the grain Inspection
department. A state grain Inspector
will then visit the farm, grade the grain,
seal the bins officially, and issue ware
house receipt. But all this is merely
preliminary. What solves the problem
of grain congestion in the fall is the fact
that this farmer will be able to take his
warehouse receipt to the bank and borrow
on it up to 80 per cent Of the indicated
value.
For the first time in America it is
officially recognized that the farmer puts
his grain on the fall market because he
has to have the money. For the first
time a real solution is found. Simple,
most reasonable, urgently needed these
many years: yet those friends of the
Farmers" who warn him against political
action with all their boosted wisdom
couldn't find it. Direct representation
in legislature and state office scores again.

Probably they knew, too, that the

.RBMPEL BROTHERS
FREED BY COURT
JUSTICE HOMER B. DIBFLL
REVERSED DECISION OF
LOWER COURT
THREE BUTTERFIELD MEN DID
NOT VIOLATE STATE LAW,
SAYS RULING

One by one the Supreme Court Of
| the state reverses the lower courts in
cases where people were found guilty
of violation of the so-called Espionage
Act of the state.
In decision handed down recently
by the Supreme Court the verdicts in
the case of the state of Minnesota VS..
Bernard Rempel and Peter w. Rempel
and also the case against John Rempel
were reversed and the defendants set
at liberty. All these cases were tried
in Watonwan County before Judge
Comstock who after the conviction of
the defendants, imposed county jail
sentence.
Bernard Rempel and Peter w. Rem
pei were separately indicted and con-
victed Of using the following language;
''The Germans are just going back
far enough to get our boys into some trap
to pound He'll out Of them, just what they
deserve" and, ut will be but a few
days and the Germans will be in Paris
and would like to see it," John Rem
pei was indicted for having uttered the
following;
'To He'll with this government.
We will have a government that will
fix you fellows"
In it's decision of the first two cases
the court says that the evidence is not
at all conclusive and in some respects
not very convincing that they made use
of the words ascribed to them. But
conceding that they said precisely what
is alleged, they did not violate the
statute which makes it a crime to teach
or advocate by oral speech that the
citizens of this state should not aid and
assist the U. S. in prosecuting or carry
ing on war with the public enemies OF
the U. S. The statute does not reach
two individuals who get together as
these two men did and express their
views tho they are disloyal and unpa-
triotic. Upon any permissible con-
struction of the statute there was not a
teaching or advocating that citizens
should not support the government with
in the meaning of the statute and
conviction is not sustained.
In the case against John Rempel the
court adds that the war was not under
discussion nor was it mentioned in his
case and that the conviction is without
a basis in the evidence.

ment. Russia, the acid test Of good
will'' for me, as for you, has not ever
been understood. Unjust decisions re-
garding Shantung, Tyrol, Thrace, Hun
gary, East Prussia, Danzig and the Saar
valley, and abandonment Of the principle
Of freedom Of the seas, make new inter
national conflicts certain.
lis my conviction the present league
of nations will be powerless to prevent
these wars, and the United States will
be involved in them by obligations under
taken through the covenant OF the league
and in a special understanding with
France. Therefore the duty OF the
government of the United States to its
own people and to mankind is to refuse
to sign this unjust treaty: refuse to guar
antee it's settlements by entering the
league of nations, and refuse to entangle
the United States further by an under
standing with France.
That you persistently opposed most
of the unjust settlements: that you &C
copied them only under great pressure,
is well known. Nevertheless, it is my
conviction that if you had made your
fight in the open instead Of behind closed
doors you would have carried with you
the public opinion Of the world, which
was yours: you would have been able
to resist the pressure and might nave
established the tsnew international order,
based upon broad universal principles

faith in the millions of men like myself
in every nation who had faith IN YOU

GETTING OUT OF JAIL.

A prominent labor leader upon being
asked by critic what the union members
did at their lodge meetings when they
were not planning strikes or boycotts,
answered that comparatively little time
was devoted to such matters, but that
the chief endeavor of the labor organiza-
ton was to teach it's members that they
were men, to get them into the habit
of thinking of themselves as citizens
and not as labor union men. 1t is thi.
broader view of the organizations tina
almost wholly escapes the general public
