relatives say. He took no precaution
when crossing busy thoroughfares
and passed in front of motor vehicles

long walks about the city that he
met his death. He attempted to
cross the Northwestern tracks at the
foot of South First avenue, Thought
less of danger, and stepped directly
in the path of the oncoming train.
Conductor Jack O'Neill and other
members of a train crew on North

aged man walk on the track but were
powerless to save. him. One or two

UNCLE SAM RUNS
W0MEN'S HOTEL
Success Of Public Ownership
StrikingIy Demonstrated
in Washington.

North Dakota is no longer the only
spot i'm America where there are i'm
portant public industries. Uncle Sam
himself erected almost in the shadow
of the capitol a group of hotels for
his women employees in Washington
during the war; and now that the war
Is over this important public enter
prise is not only persisting but it is
actually thriving and exposing the out
rageous profiteering that is going on
in the private housing and feeding of
the people.
At cost of s2,9Oo,ooo the govern
ment was forced by war conditions to
erect a group of hotel buildings in
Washington for it's women workers
that now house 1000 pleased and sat
isfied women. There are 1850 living
rooms in this group of buildings and
I'm some of them more than one woman
is living. The popularity of this pub
lie domicile is indicated by the fact
that every room is taken all the time
and there are now more than 200
women on the waiting list for rooms
as fast as they are vacated.
Several excellent features of this
government hotel life account Tor it's
unusual popularity. Chief among them
is the unusual prices charged by Uncle
Sam This big hotel keeper aims to
charge whatever the cost of the serv-
ice itnounts to and the result is that
these lucky women workers are being
mr. Tod
1t would cost them anywhere else. An
other drawing card is the infirmary
nurse and the lnfirmary which provide
ut cost for the guests when they are
! sick or injured Another feature is
the laundry in the basement where the
women can save expenses if they. de-
sire by doing their own washing ut a
ritiiculously small charge for the use
of the machinery and water and soap

In all history, the ruling class have
never ruled because they were the
majority, but because they keep the
majority divided. Caesars method
was divide and conquer The old sea-
pirates made their crews up of men
of different nationalities and religi
GUS beliefs.
In several of the states in which
the League was organizing, another
NOnpartisan League YVES started, to
divide the farmers. To divide the
country town and the farm they
have tried-and succeeded in some
cases-to make the local merchant
believe the Nonpartisan League farm
ers were going to put him out Of bust
ness. And now since organized labor
and the organized farmers are getting
together they are trying to divide
them.
They started out by deciding that
the farmer was a capitalist, because
he employed labor, but forgot to tell
US 1t was mostly his own, his wife and
children's labor. Then to cinch the
argument that I'll e farmers and the
lab0rer's interests were different,
they told us that the farmer was in
terested in high prices for food stuff,
while the laborer was after cheap
goods. But, again they forgot that the
laborer employed on farm. which
makes the farmer capitalist, gets
board thrown in, so is not interested
! in cheap food. Then to make 1t real
funny they tell US labor should never
strike because the interests Il capital
and labor are identical.

copied by most Of the country week:
