EMPLOYMENT SERVICE QUIZ
ASKED By METAL TRADES
Misuse Of Governmental Authority by
the Department Of Labor 10
Alleged.

New Orleans, May ga resolution
protesting against the rehabilitation of
the United States Employment service
and urging a congressional investiga-
ton Of its operations was adopted by
the Southern Metal Trades association
In session here. The resolution, copies
Of which were ordered sent to mem
bers, of Congress, charges misuse Of
governmental authority by the Depart
ment Of Labor in the operation of the
employment service, and says in part:
1T has been clearly established that
the employment service has been domi-
mated by agents Of labor unions and
the said service conducted in the sole
interests Of unionism, forming less
than 8 per cent of the population Of
the United States, and to the detri-
ment Of other interests"

WoRLD,s dREAtrEsT MINE FIELD,
Bit by BIT the story Of the wonder
full part the. American navy played in
winning. the war is being unfolded. Is
sample Of the assistance the navySgave
the Allies in bringing about the down
fall Of the Central Powers is seen IN the
laying of the world 9 greatest mine
field, now being swept, accomplished by
the division Of the American fleet under
Rear Admiral Strauss. ss ~ as
"A little more than a year ago the
Americans laid a mine barrier that ex-
tended from Bergen, Norway, to the
Orkney Islands, north Of Scotland, eff
fectually closing the North Sea to navi-
CATION except through the narrow lane
along the coast Of Norway and. the out
let between the Orkneys and Scotland.
The barrier made practically impos.
ible the escape from the North Seq Of
any enemy raider or worship. Fifty
seven thousand Of these mines, every
one made in America, formed this bar
rier to German sea operations, and but
one mishap occurred during their lay
ing, the sinking Of one ship laden with
mines from being torpedoed.
Not even yet does the world realize
the immensely of the task assigned to
American ingenuity and industrial en-
terprise, and which was accomplished
when we had been in the war but little
more than a year.

The welcome of the 151st artillery
included good will for every Minnesota
man who was in the service, whether he
went abroad or not. Those who went
abroad did their duty well, whether
they got to the front line or not, and
those who were here and did not 60
through no fault Of their own, are en-
titled to consideration also. There is
glory and good will enough for all, and
IF some were more fortunate than 9th
ers in getting actual service, that was
their opportunity and they made good,
as is the habit of American soldiers.

New York, May 8.---The treaty OF

duces German military impotence, de.
prives her of her colonies, restores
Alsace and Lorraine to France, and
Provides for reparation to the nations

This was made known in an official
summary Of the treaty, cabled from
the American Peace commission to
the Committee on Public Information
in New York. Official announcement
also was made that President Wilson
had pledged himself to propose to the
senate an agreement that the United
States, in conjunction with Great
Britain, would go to the assistance of
France In case OF an attack by Ger.

posal was made in a statement suppleJ

Business is turning quickly and pros
perously from the conditions of war to
the status Of peace. All the signs are
for a complete revival and period of
activity without precedent. Employ
ment 10 increasing, wages are stable,
new enterprises are arising in all parts
of the country. Prospects for good har-
vests are encouraging. All this has
come about without an extra session Of
Congress and in spite Of the hurtfu1 fl
ibuster by which Republicans defeated
important legislation at the very outset
of Reconstruction.
If the Republican leaders Of the next
Congress attempt to hamper President
Wilson, instead Of going about the bus
mess Of passing the measures which q
Democratic Administration framed and
would have enacted but for their OBJ
struction, they will halt the recovery Of
industry and invite trouble. Not Pres
ident Wilson, but the people 7at large
WILDE the sufferers.
It begins to appear, however, that dis
cord and factionalism will prevent the
Republican majority from adopting end
pursuing an affirmative, constructive
course Of legislation in the sixty-slxth
Congress. They were almost unanimous
in their opposition to. the Democratic
program, but they give signs Of being
hopelessly lacking in unity a. to any
other policy. But there Is something
worse than Republican inability to
agree on plan Of obstruction-bad
though that be. That 10, they might
combine to undo the good work which
the Democrats have accomplished in the
last six years Of their ascendancy. And
they have threatened to do that very
thing.
