MITTEE TO VISIT CITY
COUNCIL THIS EVENING
To Request That All Persons
Who Violate Law Be
Prosecuted at Once

Charging that employees of the
Crookston Lumber company have
been active in trying to excite riots
and that no action has been taken by
the police or sheriff'sf. forces Of this
city, the Bemidji Labor League, in
session here yesterday named COM
mittee to appear before the city coun-
Gil at it's meeting tonight and ask
that organization to see that all per-

ganization.
An employee in the office of the
Crookston Lumber company is accus-
ed of standing before a crowd Of
strike breakers and shouting, II dare
any of you to call me scab." Strik-

accused another employee of the same

house which had membership in that

MICHIGAN SENATOR
TO ADDRESS N.M.D.A.
CONVENTION JUNE Is
Roger M. Andrews Advises
President Mcdonald to
This Effect

E. e. Mcdonald, President of the
N. NJ. D. A. is Just in receipt Of a
communication from Roger M. An
drews, President of the Cloverland
Magazine of Michigan, stating that
he will accompany United States
Senator Townsend of Michigan at the
N. M. d. A. meeting here June 18th
and 10Th.
The N. WI. D. A. has accomplished
much in the line Of developing Nor
thern Minnesota. The association
has given it's attention to no subject
so vast and so important to the inter-
est of Northern Minnesota as the
securing of a deep waterway from
Duluth to the Atlantic Ocean.
While the possibilities Of Northern
Minnesota have been shown to be
great, now with deep waterway
from Duluth to the ocean and the
process of handling low grade mag
netic ore profitable and the possible
use of the great peat beds Of North
ern Minnesota for the purpose Of
manufacturing coke to smelt the ore
the fondest dreams of the Develop
ment association will have been real
lied.
With low grade magnetic ore now
made available for use and local fuel
provided and deep waterway to the
ocean, the possibilities OF Northern
Minnesota cannot be over estimated.

Former Captain of Service and
Information Branch to ]
Visit Bemidji i
LOCAL COMMITTEE TO
ASSIST EX-SERVICE MEN
To Act as Clearing House fol
All Important Matters +
Which May Arise

Captain H. r. Packard, of the
service and information branch of thu
war department, has advised the
Ralph Oracle post of the American
Legion that he will be in Bemidji
on Thursday, June 10, for the pur-
pose of promoting the work being
done for all ex-service men and tn
establish a committee which may take
steps whereby every ex-service man
may be located and informed Of his
rights and privileges under the ex.
listing laws"which have been created
for him. e
He has organized like committees
throughout the country and a larger
amount of work has been cleaned up
this way since local committee can
be placed in closer contact with the
ex-service men. I
The service and information branch
is the concrete expression of the wal
departments very earnest desire to
help every ex-service man solve his
own particular problem. Established
primarily for giving assistance in OBJ
tanning employment, as the need fol
ed it's attention more and more ia
the other needs of the men, particu-
larly the disabled.
Experience in this work has shown
that many of the men have little OF
no information as to the relief pro.
vided by the government for disabled
men; or, if they have this infdfassSs-
ton, they do not know how to 60
about getting the relief. These men
are largely of the class who must
be reached by direct contact. The
welfare and other organizations inter
ested in the former service men have
this contact. By bringing them into
touch with the government agencies
charged with soldier relief, the SER
vice and information branch is able
to give them first-hand information
which can be passed on to the men.
This is the main object to be accom-
plished by local central committee,
but it serves other important pur-
poses and acts as clearing house
on all matters concerning the ex-
service man.
The chief object today is the estab-
lishment of such committees through
out the country, which are able to
take up any phase of the work be:
cause. they include delegates from all
the various activities-soldier en-
ployment agencies, war risk officers,
federal vocational experts, public
health surgeons, the Red Cross, and
all the welfare associations.
The entire work Of the service and
information branch is divided into
two main divisions. First, there is
the central office with headquarters in
the Council Of National Defense
building, Washington, D. c. The sec
ond division is the field service, which
covers practically the entire country.
The home office not only supervises
the activities of the field representa-
tives throughout the United States,
but in addition handles the entire
personnel, correspondence and in
formation, and publicity branches,
and employment for high class tech
nical and professional men.

Commerce Body Committee Urges
Expedition in Unloading Cars.

That full use of the rolling stock
available to- manufacturers and ship
pers of this country would have the
effect of Immediately adding 100000
new cars to railroad equipment rs the
statement made by the railroad COM
mittee of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce. in an appeal made today
for co-opera ton in the loading of
freight cars to their maximum ca
pacity. Under the present economic
conditions. the appeal said. the rail-
roads cannot obtain the cars at rea-
sonab1e prices or make terminal i'm
provements that might expedite their
movement.
An average freight car spends 81 per
cent of it's time awaiting loading or
unloading by shippers or receivers. the
committee estimated: 43 per cent NOV
ing through terminals or awaiting
movement; IL per cent in trains NOV
ing between terminals. and per cent
in repair shops. 1t was suggested that
shippers voluntarily reduce the time
cars are kept by them to twenty-four
hours. which practice. if adopted. tho
committee said, would produce the
same improvement in transportation
facilities that an addition of 100000
cars would involve.
