Denial that he favors child labor is
made l'by United States Senator Por

reports he was being quoted as favor
ing child labor, Senator McCumbel
has issued the following statement ir
letter form:
Washington, D. c., March 3, 1922
Editor Bismarck Tribune,
Bismarck, N. Oak.
I am in receipt of reports in which
it is being circulated that l am in
favor of child labor.
l cannot imagine any one believing
such nonsense. | have been an earn
est supporter Of every measure de-
signed to eliminate child labor from
our work shops. believe that every
child born into this world is entitled
to a good education. Outside the
home the school room is the only
proper place for child until he has
completed his education; and if ne
receives the education ne ought to
have he will have passed far beyond
the age of childhood when he leayes
the school room.

out the small ones and the sprouts.
ventured the remark that every child
on the farm was taught to work and
that if he never had any work to DO
until he was sixteen or eighteen years
of age he never would acquire the
habit of industry. 'F

who work on the principle that any

JEWISH RELIEF
WORKERS TOLD
OF SUFFERING
Rabbi Matt, of Minneapolis, De-
scribed Terrible Suffering
in Eastern Europe
APPEALS FOR CHILDREN

Terrible conditions existing in
eastern Europe were detailed to men
and women of Bismarck who will par
ticipate in the campaign for the
American Jewish Relief committee in
Bismarck tomorrow at luncheon in
the Mckenzie hotel this afternoon by
Rabbi C. David Matt, Of Minneapolis.
Rabbi Matt made his plea for the
children. "The old men and women
in the Ukraine do not care what be-
comes of them," he said.
Rabbi Matt characterized the Jews
of countries bordering on Europe as
the most helpless, most suffering,
most downtrodden people on the face
of the earth. -..
I'm saying this l am not unmindful
of the terrible sufferings of other peo-
ples," he said. 81 think none can suf-
fer as much as have the Jews in war
stricken countries"
He told of the pogroms raging in
the countries bordering along Rus
sia. During the last few years, es-
pecially in the Ukraine, thousands Of
people have been slaughtered, he said.
Be0Qar Description ~. as-r ls
"COnditiOns have existed which
simply beggar description, he said.
II venture to say that when we come
to learn of what has happened in Rus
sia we will find that the Jews there
have undergone the most terrible
reign of terror in many centuries"
He told Of the visit of Judge Harry
sch ~ II N1t IN hn
countries, and of a pogrom in one city
where 1860 persons were killed and
thrown in a grave IS by 250 feet.
Judge Fisher visited the grave.
This slaughter Of Jews, he said, left
thousands Of orphans, children who
received such poor care in orphan
homes that many Of them 8 and 10
years old had never learned to walk
because they h a not sufficient
strength.
Appeals for Children
The appeal, he said is humanitar-
ian one, without regard to race or
creed. While the Jews of the coun-
try have made the heaviest contribu-
tions, he said, it is estimated that 80
per cent of the funds raised by the
Jews themselves have been expended
without regard to race or creed. He
appealed for help for starving chill
dren.
p. R. Fields, who, with H. J. Dueme-
land, leads the city campaign, opened
the meeting, and following Alex Ro-
sen, county chairman for the CAM
paign, thanked citizens Of Bismarck
in behalf of the American Jewish Re-
lief committee for great help given
in the naSt

LIKELIHOOD OF FLOODS

| Reports that the ice on the Missouri
| river is Of unusual thickness are ex-
aggerated, according to weather bu-
reau reports. The latest tests Of the
weather bureau here have shown the
thickness of the ice to be 81 inches.
The river has at. times in the past
been covered with ice of depth of as
high as 36 inches. The fact that the
ice this year is extremely solid and
there is great deal of snow on the
river, however, makes the likelihood
Of a spring overflow somewhat greater
than usual. Ice in the Missouri at
Pierre, South Dakota, was found by
the weather bureau to be % inches
thick, which was said not to be un-
usual.
In response to an inquiry as to the
danger or probability of flood in
the Missouri river this spring, Mr..
Roberts of the weather bureau, replied
by making his usual annual statement
that "As long as there is ice in the
Missouri River at Bismarck there is
always danger of an overflow" He

Arrangements should be made by

tion as possible regarding river con-
ditions.~ There is an unusually heavy
snow covering over the entire Missouri
Valley, as well as over western North
Dakota and eastern Montana. There
is also more than the usual amount of
snow on the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains. While the thickness

the fact that the snow which has

been made as in the past for distrib"
uting warnings, but all interested o. ar
ties are requested to keep in close
touch with the Weather Bureau until

Since the above statement was is
