created Pacific fleet now organized
from vessels heretofore forming a part
of the Atlantic forces, will sail from

In Red River Valley.

. Red River valley counties that pre-
viously had polled majorities against
Townley issues, piled up vel greater
%majorities, but the greatest turnover
has come in the counties of Emmons,
Logan, Mcintosh and Morton.
Each of these used to be Townley
strongholds. Yesterday they repud-
lated his leadership and gave major
tiles against his group of socialist
laws
In Emmons, Townley lost 800 votes;
in Mcintosh, he lost 800 and in Lo-
gan 600. Stutsman, which has gone
400 votes against the league, repre-
sents a turnover Of 800 votes. In Nc
Lean, Bowman and Wells counties, all
in the western section, Townley's
strength has dropped a total of 800
more Only in the extreme north
western section of the state had the
Nonpartisan league front been MAIN
tanned intact. There, Williams, Di-
vide, Burke Renville, Ward, Mon
trail, Mckenzie, Bottineau, McHenry,
Pierce, Rolette and Towlier counties
have come in strong for the league.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the socialist vote in the entire district
is naturally heavy.
Significant Changes.
Losses in the Red River valley
counties are most significant. They
show how the better fixed farmers
regard the league propaganda. Here
tofore strongly for the league, the op.

| satisfaction is always a little hard
to pierce, and now, having ended
the war, harder than ever. And
Europe four thousand miles away!
And as to the other idea that Boil
shevism is self-destructive and need
not be feared, let me call your at
tention to the fact that Bolshevism
does not have to be called by that
name
The spirit of the thing, under
many different names is going all
over Europe.
To starving men it is most nat
ural and attractive preachment.
"The present system of civiliza-
ton is responsible for your suffer-
ing" say the Bolshevist apostles.
"Pull it down and erect another
and you will have plenty to eat"
Moreover, think of this: every
starving town swarms with re-
turned soldiers, rnfed. unpaid, with
guns in their hands and Bolshevik
doctrines in their heads.
Some of them will not starve
very long before they will begin to
, shoot as they did at Munich.

but if it is not, the man / quoted at
the beginning of this article is
probably well-grounded in his con-
ception and Europe is camping on
the crust of volcano.
Then the relief should be prompt,
generous and effective. We ought
to get behind the League of Nations
and put that over so the world
may have hope that it is not to go
again through these horrors. Out
of the superabundance of food with
which we are blessed we ought to
save Europe from starving. And do
it now.
And where Europe can't pay for
it, do it without charge.

RE TAIL CLERKS HOLD
ENTHUSIASTIC MEET

Last Friday evening the Ever
EFT Retail Clerks Union completed
its organization in an atmosphere
of enthusiasm.
There was large attendance OF
both men and women and a spirit
of good unionism pervaded the en-
tire proceedings.
President Nash, Vice-President
Little and Secretary Weisfeld of the
Seattle Clerks Union were present
as guests of honor.
Bro. Nash administered the obi.
cation to the membership and in
stalled the charter officers elect
after which he delivered a stirring
address.
He asked the membership to ad-
here to the principles of Trades
Unionism along the lines laid down
by the American Federation of Lab
or. He warned them not to heed
the call of divisionists and sep
aratists--in fact not to wander off
after strange gods"
Bro Nash is a fluent speaker and
a veteran of organization, having
organized the first local of the pres
ent Clerks international at Mime
apolis many years ago.
President Moncur of the Trades
Council made ten minute speech
full of good advice and informa-
ton, after which the union and
it's guests partook of a fine buffet
luncheon.
Good humor pervaded the meet
ing and mock court was convened
which made Bro. Walter Bailey the
goat of its proceedings. He was
charged with having married, a
week ago last Saturday without ask
ing the permission of the union.
The frame-up trial was more giar-
ing than Fickert could invent and
poor Bro. Bailey was convicted and
fined And such a fine He was
ordered to provide a box of union
made cigars for the male members
and a box of union-made candy for
the ladies at their next regular
meeting, which will be held to-
night.

The organized workers of Phil

program of the Chicago Convention
on the Mooney Case, and have start
ed determined campaign in con-
junction with the labor movement
throughout the United States to de-
mand Federal intervention or the
immediate release of Tom Mooney
and Warren X. Billings.
Realizing that more than reso-
lutions are needed to conduct the
battle for Moneys liberation, the
various unions of Philadelphia are
subscribing to the million dollar
fund being raised on behalf of
Mooney by the international Work
ers' Defense League. Among the
locals voting to assess their members
are the Boilermakers, all locals of
the Cloakmakers, Electrical Work.

Knitters, BricklGyers and Plas-

Moulders' Unions. Many other or
CARNATIONS have made substantial
contributions direct from their
treasures.
Under direction of Lucy Robins,
representing the Mooney Case De-
| Tense, a gigantic mass meeting iat
which Frank P. Walsh will be the
principle speaker, is being arranged.
This mass meeting will be held in
the biggest auditorium in Phila-
delphia, and will be the means
whereby the organized workers of
the city OF Brotherly Love will
demonstrate their interest in the eff
fort to obtain justice for the victims
of corporate greed in California.

The Department from its investi-

industry brings happiness to the

Viewed in its broad aspect, Amer

all the interests of the world, look
to her for guidance.
Americans shall rise with their

lease their tremendous industrial
powers.
But hope must supplant misgiv-

AMERICAS BROAD
INDUSTRIAL VIEW

The United States is primarily
an industrial nation. While it's
chief source of wealth is agricul-
ture, the majority of its people de-
rive their living through industry.
The great cities of the country are
built upon manufactures and com
merce, When the factories close and
commerce is stagnant the cities
soon show a pinched face The easy
carefree swing of the people pass
ing to and fro disappears, and in
its stead the parade ambles in
slouchy lines, unkempt, ambition
less, apparently without purpose.
Dogged responses replace cheerful
greetings; sullen silence chides
merry laughter.
The sunlight of nature cannot
penetrate the gloom. Mems souls
are heavy with the burdens of life.
Plans for the future are thrust
aside. Selfishness clutches at the
heart.
The attitude of mind changes.
Men think of themselves and of
their own small interests. Conf
dence is lost Industry has receiv-
ed a severe blow. 1t has cliffs to
scale to reach its normal level
Against this attitude of mind,
against this poison in the blood Of
industry, the T. S. Department OF
Labor raises its voice and bades
men to look forward. upward, be-
yond the scope of their own vision.
The world is passing through the
greatest economic change in its his
tory, and in this change the work
