LARGEST LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION IN 10
YEARS DESPITE RAIN

I, rains alike upon the Just and un-

had q great deal TO do with keeping
t,,,n the attendance at Labor's parade
and picnic. it also had aimilar effect
,,on the counter attractions.

n,s ears parade was the largest and
tss, beld in the past ten years. and
,.,ssibly within the history of the or
l,,izod labor movement in the Twin
Ci.ies Between 1900 and 1900 men
ard women were In line. Threaten
i,e weather undoubtedly reduced the
length of the parade very materially.
From the police squadron at the
bead of the parade to the beautiful
foat of the Painters union at the ex-
treme rear. the parade was great
credit TO the unions OF the Twin Cities.
Interspersed at intervals were a dog
on or more beautiful floats, prominent

which brought forcibly to the atten-
tion of the general public for the first
time the fact that these women are
taking very i've part in the pro
gram of organ. ed labor. They de.
serve especial mention for the pains
and time spent in their contribution 10
the parade.
While there were no prizes offered
for the most beautiful float, II seems
to be the opinion that honor should

float of much originality was that
of the butchers. A nicely decorated
truck containing pure-white sheep at
tracted favorable attention. The
men. dressed in white, enhanced the
beauty of the float.
The Teamsters' and Chauffeurs
float. built upon one of the largest
trucks in town and drawn by four
horses. was thing Of beauty. A
shetland pony, all trapped for
ride, occupied prominent position
on the float.
A handsome float typifying the han
diwork of the craft, represented the
Carpenters. Erected in the shape of
an open-structure building and paint
cd pure white, it was indeed notable
additiun TO the parade, and was fois
lowed by about 200 proud members
Of the union.
The float of the Plasterers and Ce'
ment Finishers received its share OF
applause. Followed by members of the
union dressed in white, it presented
q beautiful appearance.
The Stage Hands float, decorated

beautifully decorated cars represent
ed much study and thought on the

Congressional fights which assumed at
times a partisan character, there are
grounds to believe that the house may
not adopt the majority report.
The findings in the majority report.
as summarized, are:
Samuel T. Ansell, who as an attor-
ney obtained the War Departments
permission for the release of Bergdoll
from prison so that he might dig up
an alleged pot of gold, should be de-
barred from practice before any de-
partments, any court-martial and in
any court Of the nation"
Colonel John e. Hunt, who. the re-
port alleged, allowed Bergdoll to leave
prison without proper guard, shoult.
be discharged from the retired list of
the army.
Earl 3. Wood, of the Department of
Justice, should be removed from the
federal service because he failed to
warn the War Department that Berg.
doll was planning to escape. Informa.
ton to this effect came to Wood
month before Bersdoll made his "get.
away" the report alleges.
Colonel G. G. Cresson is sharply crit
cized on the ground That he made
weak prosecution of Colonel Hunt in
n court-martial after the escape.
Major Bruce Campbell, military
counsel for the Stacker, who. Mrs.
Bergdoll charges, asked for 100000
from her and obtained $1,000 "to fix
So that her son might he
released, was exonerated completely.
The Alien Property Custodian was
commended for his seizure of the BERG
l0ll property, and he is urged to take
steps to force Mrs. Bergdoll to pro
luce the 100000 in gold which she
says she buried.

In his behalf by Samuel T. Ansell, for
tnerly acting judge advocate general OF
the United States Army, that he bc
permitted to go on the nOw-fainous
"p6t-of-gold" expedition.
As attorney for Bergdoll while lie
was a military prisoner at Governors
Island, New York, Mr.. Ansell made
that request of Brigadier General Pc
ter c. Harris, Adjutant general of the
army. In as far as General Harris
granted the request, as shown by the
testimony, the majority report charges
him with "the primary responsibility
for the situation which made possible
the escape"
After the two reports, covering to-
gether fifty-fiye pages, were presented
to the house, Mr.. Ansell made Il pub
lie statement bitterly attacking those
who signed the majority report. His
statement was supplemented by AT
other from George Chamberlain, for
merly senator from Oregon, now a
member Of the United States Shipping
Board, who expressed regret at the
majority report of the Investigating
Committee and defended "the high
character of General Ansell.''
The action of the house on the re-
ports admits Of complications because
the majority report was prepared by
Representative Johnson, Democrat, of
Kentucky, and signed not only by Rep
resentative Flood of Virginia the other +
Democratic member of the committee, !
but also by Representative tuhring of !

committee. The minority report, pre-.

CLAIMED BY
DEFEATED CHURCHMEN
Hottest Game of Church Baseball
Series Goes to Methodists, 8 to z
Forrest in Bad

Coercion, intimidation and really
inside" baseball are alleged to have
played a prominent part in the to
Z victory of the Methodist church
nine over the Presbyterian team
Monday evening, and the alleged un-
sportsmanlike conduct of members of
the winning team is being investi-
gated by the police department, with
every prospect that the findings will
rival, in sensationalism, the develop
ments in the recent national case in
which the members Of the Chicago
Americans were found guilty of VIC
latiOn of practically every item of
baseball etiquette. After piling up
an apparently safe to lead in the
regulation five innings of play the
Presbyterians, with Thompson pitch
ing masterful ball, had the situation
we'll in hand and victory seemed i'm
minent. At this juncture Cashier
Forrest of the First National bank,
one of the mainstays Of the Metho-
dist aggregation, was, observed to call
Assistant Cashier Thompson, pitch
er for the Presbyterians to the side
and admonish him in an undertone.
When the sixth inning opened the
Methodists raped the ball at will,
Thompson apparently having lost or
east aside all control over the sphere
When the smoke cleared away the
Methodists had sent seven men across
the pan and the Presbyterians were
unable to overcome the lead in their
half of the sixth.
At once the charge was made that
Cashier Forrest had intimidated
Pitcher Thompson, some going so far
as to claim that Forrest had threat
ened to fire his understudy unless
he eased up on his curves and in
shoots. An investigation of the
charges is now under way and the
developments will be watched with
much interest by hundreds of local
fanS VINO nave followed the battle
royal in the church league. Lovers
of clean baseball are loud in their
demands that Forrest be suspended
from the league and assessed a heavy
fine, and that the game be forfeited
to the Presbyterians, with the score
standing as it appeared on the score
book at the close of the regulation
five innings of play.
Others insist that the Presbyter-
ians bide their time and challenge
the Methodists to another conflict, to
be played the first day that Cashier
Forrest is out of town.
The serious charges against an
erstwhile reputable citizen have
shocked the community, but at the
same time have created wider inter
est in the church league games, with
the result that the side hill bleachers
will be crowded to capacity for the
remainder of the contests on the

Department of Agri.
culture Makes
Report.

Washington, Jan. 2e. - Wage
rates for farm labor reached Their
highest point in the history Of The
country in 1920. as national aver
ages, according to figures gather
ed BY the department OF agriculture
and made public today. The aver
age wage rate for labor hired by
the month, it was shown, was
1858. with board, and $64.95 with
out board; for day labor at harvest,
$3.50 with board, and $4.36 without
board. For day labor other than
at harvest, the scale averaged
$2.S6 with board, and $3.50 without
board.
War conditions, it was found, had
greatly accelerated an upward
movement of farm wage rates that
began after 1885. The rate of thai
year for hirings by the month with.
out board was $17.69 as an average
for the United States, and no other
year in the record of the bureau
extending back to 1866 had a lower
rate, except 1879 with $16.42.
From 1915 to 1890 farm labor
working by the month without
board received gain in wage rate
as high as lis percent. This was
given by the department as ont
cause Of the greatly increased cost
Of producing things on the farm
which has forced the farmer more
generally to depend exclusively or
themselves and members of theil
families for labor, in addition tt
extending the use Of labor savin.
