Berlinites Having Hard Time, Says
- VIA # I'm m iUpauf 3,e, NJ

Times are very hard in Berlin, and
the people are having hard time to
exist without sugar and other food,
and clothes, according to Mrs: Eliza
beth Pohl, who recently arrived in
Minot from Germany.
She left Hamburg June 26, but was
retained at Ellis island for 13 days.
Mrs. Pohl says she left Berlin be-
cause Of bad conditions there, and
suffering, due to the low wages 'and
the high prices of necessities.
Mrs. Pohl, unaccustomed to Ameri-
can ways, became frightened when a
reporter called, believing that it was
policeman who had come to arrest
her for failing to report that she had
moved, as is the custom in Berlin.
The worst part of her whole trip,
she says, was when she was detained
at Ellis island, for what reason is not
known known. She describes it as a
filthy place, almost unbearable to live

n the pioneer days Of Berthold his

In the pioneer days Of Berthold his
father and mother were in the. very
first meeting to organize a Lutheran
church here and were among the very
first to subscribe money out Of their
scant earnings to build church for
the Christian teaching of their then
ten children and the amelioration Of
their devotions. To such parents may
always be found to their credit ma
tured boys and girls who become the
creditable citizens to their family, to
the community, to the state, and to
the nation. <-rS
When the United States declared
war in the spring of 1917, Leo with
three other brothers, did not wait for
the call Of their country, but offered
their services in defense of their
country. When the war ended, Leo
was among the very first to join the
Legion post at Ryder and was ever
loyal to the colors.

Clyde Nelson, who is in charge of
the federal-state employment office in
this city, visited the sheriff's office
Monday and complained to Sheriff
Sconeld that the city is full of l. w.
WIS who are interfering with harvest
hands whom he had secured to 60 to
worl. on farms out of Minot.
There are scores of l. w. WIS on
the street who will not -work-unless
they receive S. per day and their
board, but the farmers are unable to
pay such high price. They have
agreed to pay $3.50 a day during har-
vest and it is possible that they will
pay up to $500 a day during thresh-
ing, but they simply are not able fl
nancially to pay more. Mr.. Nelson
had d number of men who were being
sent to the country Monday when they
were stopped on the streets by |. w.
WIS and urged to remain off the job
unless they receive $500 per day. AS
q consequence of the work of the I.
w. W., there is a great scarcity of
harvest hands on the farms, tho the
towns are full of men.
Sheriff Scotield informed Mr. Nell
son that the sheriff's office was power
less to do anything without warrant
rant and suggested that he see the
city authorities who might arrest
the men as Vagrants and put them to
work on the streets if they were do
ing anything unlawfully.
Two men visited Mr.. Nelson's office
Monday morning and said they feared
to take the jobs offered them as they
had been threatened by the I. w.

lady had her arm broken, while the
other young man was badly bruised
The remains were taken to Ryder
Saturday to his brothers, Stephen
Olson. A funeral service was held
!, Sunday at 10 a. m. at the Lutheran
church in Ryder, and Immediately
after noon the corpse accompanied
with fifteen cars was taken to Bert
hold where services were held in the
Lutheran church by Rev. Jenson. At
ter the church services, the American
Legion posts of Ryder and Berthold
finished the obsequies in military
style. The remains were laid to rest
by the side of his mother, who pre-
ceded him in 1910, and his brother
William whose remains were brought
from Canada in 1912.
The deceased was % years of age,
and leaves a father, j. S. Olson of
Berthold, four sisters, Mrs. Enright
of Wilton, N. D., Mrs. Hanson of
Roundup, Mont, Mrs. Nelson, and
Miss Mabel Olson of Tacoma, WASH;
five brothers, Stephen, Dewey, Oscar,
Albert of R Ryder, and Clarence of
Roseglen, N. D., all of whom were
present.
It was Alexander in addressing
letter to General Moreau, who so we'll
expressed the sentiments: "There is
but one remedy for the great affIic-
tions of life (meaning death), that Of
seeing them participated" (that is,
friends participating in the last sad
rights of deceased friend). The
many friends to the deceased and
family showed noble spirit in the
very, large attendance and with flow
ers wreathed into EXPIRE ssions Of con-
dolence.
While Leo was born in Wisconsin,
his parents moved to Berthold when
he was at tender age, and here he
was raised, educated, confirmed in the
Lutheran church, and lived a strictly
moral example to his many associates.

Labor Harvest Survey

Special State Labor Agencies oper-
ated by the State Employment Service
under the direction of the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture and Labor, are
in operation at these points for the
harvest season; Bismarck, Fargo,
Oakes, Grand Forks, Devils Lake and
Minot.
The $500 rate will be effective up
to and including August 18th. This
reads from Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Superior and Duluth to any point
within North Dakota. The harvest
rate from Sioux City, Iowa, being
$3.50. The State Employment Service
maintains a temporary Labor Office in
the office Of the Minnesota State En-
ployment Service, at .117 Marquette
Ave-, Minneapolis, to distribute har-
vest help from that point where need
ed in North Dakota.
Some disconcerting publicity was
given the assistance volunteered by
the Federal Employment Bureau in it's
connection with the State Employ
ment Service. The management Of
the Federal Employment Service is
vested in the Commissioner of Agri-
culture and Labor, who accepted an
appointment as Federal Employment
Director for North Dakota. TO secure
recognition, all inquiries and COM
munications, involving the State or
Federal Employment Service for
North Dakota, should be addressed to
Federal-State Employment Director,
Bismarck, N. D.
Labor is drifting to North Dakota
in large numbers from many points.
The North Dakota Minneapolis Tenn
porary Labor Agency can only send
out those applying to that office and
cannot care for the entire labor de-
mand. Orders to that office for har-
vest help must be definite as to num-
ber of men required and wages offer
ed Orders sent by other than the
state labor agencies must be by re-
sponslble persons or organizations.
The wheat harvest is well under
way. There are many threshing rye
in the Red River Valley. Crops thru
out North Dakota, almost without ex-
ception, are exceedingly good. There
is fine type of harvest laborers COM
ing into the State. Treat them right.
