Strike IL Out!

The American Farm Bureau Feder-
alton desires the immediate repeal of
the Adamson law. ave have long
been on record favoring its repeal"
declares the president of the organi-
zation. sour executive committee de-
clares it is responsible for the unreas-
enable transportation rates, and if con-
tinued will affect all industries, in
cluding agriculture, toward increasing
the cost of production beyond an eco
nomic basis"
Never was there a truer uterance.
Under the specious purpose of apply
ing the eight-hour day to railroad
workers. the Adameon law in reality
fastened conditions of employment up
on the railroads that had the effect
of a substantial wage increase, while
reducing the amount of work turned
out by each man per hour. The man
ner of its passage was sufficient to
condemn it with all fair-minded men.
The war was on in Europe, and the
danger of our own involvent in the
conflict was imminent. Under those
circumstances the very leaders who
now seek to precipitate a general rail
strike informed the Democratic Con-
gress that the nations transportation
would stop unless the Adamson bill
was enacted at once. The flow of sup
plies to the allies would have been
stopped, and quite likely the Germans
would have won the war in the winter
of 1916-1917 if American rail lines
had been tied up. The bill was passed
end is now on the statute books.
Any law that comes into being un-
der such conditions ought to be repeal
ed, regardless of what its merits are
alleged to be. We want nothing in
our statutes that is not the outcome
of free debate among the representa-
ives of the people in Congress. The
Adamson law is simply the expression
of the minds of the Big Five, upon
which compliant Congress placed its
approval under threat of national de-
struction if it refused to do so. The
manner of its enactment ought to be
sufficient to wipe the obnoxious thing
from the statute books.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Justified, Ii True.

The World Peace Foundation al
tempts to prove that the United states

spent 1our-tItths OIL all It's dlsDurse-
ments eILner Tor war OF Things rela-
ting 10 war. Assuming that TO be
true, how would the Foundation nave
had 1t different. Is the Foundation
prepared TO say that the revolution
should not have been fought, that we
should not have resisted British en-
croachments in 1872, that we should
have mataphorically kissed the South
ern States goodbye, that we should
not have cleaned up Cuba, or that we
should not have taken up arms against
the Germans?
Our people may rest assured that
the war record OF the United States
can compare favorably with that of
any other nation in the world. Meyer
have We undertaken. campaign of
conquest, our wars always having been
inspired by a determination to resist
encroachment on American rights or
to uphold the solidarity of the Union.
The United States will do no less in
the future, regardless of the state OF
world armaments. America is, how
ever, always willing to submit all prop
er questions to arbitration, and the
ultimate purpose of the armaments
conference is to advance the cause of
arbitration as means of settling in
ternational controversies, rather than
a resort to arms.

The Legion's unemployment com

were out of work and many Of that
number in actual need Of food and

Parades and "stunts" to attract at

committees Of the local posts are
asked to bring the needs of the ex-
service men directly to the attention
Of the employers and demand prefer
ence for Americas defenders. The
employer must be convinced that the
restlessness noticeable among some
service men at the close Of the war
has disappeared.

GRAND RAPIDS DEFEATS
BEMIDN HIGH 20 TO ID
Deciding Game of District Il
\ Be Played With St. Cloud
Saturday Night

Bemidji's high school basketball
team suffered defeat last night at the
hands of the Grand Rapids high
school quint by a score of 20 to IA,
although the score at the end of the
first half was tied at II. Coach
Smith of the local team states that
Grand Rapids has a good team and
put up fair exhibition Of basketball.
A small floor, much smaller than the
Bemidji team is used to, had a great
deal to, do with the defeat.
Since this was not a district game,
the locals are still in the race for dis
trict championship and will play the
deciding game Saturday night at
Crosby when they will meet they St.
Cloud high for the third time.
Due to illness of Tommy Simons,
Higbe and Powell played at the for
ward positions, Stechman at center,
and Stapleton and Lord as guards.
Heretofore Simons has played for
ward with Higbe, and Powell has
played guard with Lord, since Staple
toms illness early in the year took
him from the game for several weeks.

Be Well Represented

Northome is Ginning to Bemidji for
the Legion fight to be held at the
new armory Friday night. 20 tickets
have already been reserved for per-
sons attending from that village and
the probability is that several more

have at least twenty representatives,
that number of seats already having
been reserved by fans there. Orders
for reserved seats are coming in from
number Of other towns in this vi
cinity, but International Falls will,
without doubt, be represented
strongest of all, since two OF the
fighters on the. card hail from that
city, and the two nine-year-old boys
from Fort Francis who will stage a
! 1ort preliminary have large num-
z r of followers there.
s Tickets for the fight have been

Harding Decides to Postpone
Withdrawal of u. S. Troops
Until After Crisis
KNOX RESOLUTION FOR
PEACE HITS OBSTACLE
Action on Railroad Problems
Is Deferred Until After
Investigation
(By United Press)

(By United PreSs)
Washington, March 9.-The Har-
ding administration, now on its fifth
! day, is confronted by ten big prob
lens, some of them near solution, the
others being considered today by the
president and his advisors.
Withdrawal Of Troops from Ger
many-The president has decided to
leave this move until after the new
allies German crisis is over. The
withdrawal might be interpreted as
q gesture of friendship to Germany.
Taxation and Tariff-Harding has
asked the congressional committee to
start to work on a taxation program
along with Secretary of Treasury
Mellon, the facts for Harding's con-
| sideration are expected in a few
| days.
Before making any decision in the
railroad problems involving claims of
roads that they are making no profit
and the possibility of higher freight
rates, Harding has determined to
await the result of congressional in
vestigations. This investigation will
be ordered under resolution pre-
pared by Senator Cummings of the
senate interstate commerce commits
sion.
Mexico-Two sets of advices have
been placed before Harding on NMexi-
co. He is considering both of them.
One calls for immediate recognition
Of the Oregon government without
conditions, another the exact prom
Uses and protection of American
rights as condition for recognition.
Knox Resolution-The promise to
have the Knox resolution ending the
war with Germany passed soon after
Harding took. office has hit an OBJ
stacle in the form of difficultiestbe-
tween the allies and Germany on
reparation terms. Harding fears
passage of the measure would be re.
garded as reputation of our late as
sociates of war.
Merchant Misunderstanding wants
a merchant marine and will do every
thing possible to obtain it. Details Of
the program, however, depend IN the
new shipping board, for Harding has
not considered it in any definite way.
Naval-Harding has declared in
favor of an adequate navy. 1t is be-
lieved, therefore, he will approve the
appropriations for battleships as we'll
as for airplanes. He is getting mu-
terial on which to base recommended
tons so congress can get started on
another naval appropriation bill to
replace that which failed to pass last
session.
Disarma ment-Disarmament is the
one big question which Harding has
been loathe to discuss. Congressman
said they had believed that he would
call disarmament conference as
soon as his Inauguration was we'll
over. Today they declared they saw
no reason as yet to change previous
utterances
