SAVING is CERTAIN

After an auto ride over the paved
highway from Faribault to the Twin
Cities and return trip over the
graveled trunk highway No. 5 from
the Twin Cities to Mankato, the
Standard editor is convinced that No.
s should be paved as quickly as pos
sible. There was sure lot of differ
ence in the comfort experienced in
riding on the two roads. On the
graveled road there was continual
cloud of dust while there was no
dust at all riding on the paving. 1t
convinced the writer also that the
paved road greatly reduces the chan
ces of accidents. And there is no
question of saving of consumption OF
gasoline on a paved urface.-Lake-
field Standard.

PETTY THIEVERY

The citizens residing in the south
part of the city are victims of petty
tfievery from time. to time. James
Flynn is the latest victim reported to
the Herald. Some time during
Wednesday night the lock on his barn
was forced and a bushel of navy
beans taken. Only a few days age
Mr.. Flynn spent considerable time
threshing these beans and getting
them ready for market. A petty
thief is a decided menace to any
community and it is to be hoped they
can be located.

DOCUMENTS LISTED MONTHLY
The publication of monthly check
list of Minnesota public documents
has been begun by the Minnesota
Historical society as an add to all
those who wish to kpow-what bulle-
tins, reports, pamphlets, and other
materials are being issued by the
state government.
The first number, which appeared
in September, lists fifty-five items
published in July, ranging from an
address by the governor to bulletins
and reports from boards, bureaus,
commissions, and departments, and
publications by the university and
other state institutions.
ssThe check list not only will facili-
tate the work Of librarians" said Miss
Gertrude Krausnick, librarian of the
Historical society, "but also will help
officials and others who desire to be
well informed on state activities. The
list, furthermore, will draw attention
to the wide range and great i'm
portance of the work being done by
the state and its Nvarious institutions.
A similar guide to current state docu-

Farming Conditions Are
Showing Improvement
September Is Banner. Period for All
Agriculture Excepting in Wheat
Belt, Investigation Shows

Washington, Oct. Agriculture
showed continued Improvement in
September except in the wheat belt
the Department of Agriculture an
nounced today in it's monthly agri-
cultural review.
"a significant development is the
strengthened demand for cotton and
pork" the review says. "Consump-
ton of cotton in American mills and
export movement both have increas-
ed, although the South has had to
scale down its expectations on the
size of the new crop. The domestic
and export demand for pork has alb
sorbed a record run of hogs at better
prices than were prophesized by the
most optimistic earlier in the season.
''In the wheat belt, the situation is
different. More than 100000 homes
in the wheat country are in distress.
Debts which have been accommodating
for five years now are coming due and
farmers are unable to meet their OBJ
legations. This has been one of the
main factors that have brought to a
head the acute situation in the
farming, banking and business COM
munity. l- =
"a serious phase of the situation is
that exports of wheat have fallen off
36,000,000 bushels in the first eight
months of 1923 compared with the
same period in 1922. Exports in the
1923 period were los, 664,OO0 bush
els compared with 141, $3.50 bushels in
1922.

NEWYEAR MESSAGE JOAMERICAN LABOR

(By ROBERT NJ La F0LLBTTEs T. from
in The American FederatiOnist.O
Before offering my good wishes for the New Year
wish to present to the members of the American Fedora
on of Labor through the medium of their official journal
hearty congratulations upon the ortude with which
they have wthstood the colossal assault of their enemies
who had intended during the year which just closed
to crush organized labor and render helpless The
and women who thus attacked have demonstrated
that they could not be ntmaed ready to stand
firmly for principle when the great powers of the
federal government unjnsty turned against them
In the political field also the American workers dur
ing the past demonstrated their intelligence and their
answering purpose that the of the United
States shall be devoted to the service of all the people and
not to special interests In my opinion the congressional
elections of this in many respects the most i'm
portant since those which occurred than half
tury in which the tide turned against further
tension of human slavery The great drive create
condition of industrial serfdom in the United States has
in my opinion been halted both in the industrial and
political fields The enemies of progress have been
completely defeated it is true but they have at least been
called to halt.
believe therefore, that with this New Year we are
entering upon period in which we shall move forward
slowly perhaps but trust the less surely toward the
attainment of higher standards regards only the
ditons of living and employment of all the people, but also
the conduct of the public business 1t is with this
vcton that at the threshold of this period of
progress and true prosperity that offer you my best
wishes for the New Year.

GENERAL
IS WHITENASHEB

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. BY a
vote OF IL to 2 the house judiciary
committee voted that Attorney Gen.
eral Daughterty is guilty OF no act
that calls for his impeachment. Con-
gressmen Thomas of Kentucky and
Summers of Texas voted against the
resolution proposing dismissal of the
impeachment charges. The major
ity Of the committee also voted to call
the attention Of the house to Con-
gresham Keller's ignoring of a sub
popena by the committee.
The reason why Congressman Kel-
Ter withdrew from the committee can
be imagined from this reference to
the proceedings by President Com
pers in the American Federationist,
current issue:
Witnesses were browbeaten, an
tagonized, and wherever possible hui
inflated. If there remained anything
which could be more indicative OF a
lack of judicial pose it was the an
nouncement by Chairman VoIstead,
after witnesses had been heard on
only one out of IA counts. to the effect

COUNCIL
ELECTS OFFICERS,
VERY FEW CHANGES

The regular session of the Aber-
deem Central Labor Council last Fri
day was a busy one from the time
President Johnson until it adjourned
that body was called to order BY
at late hour. At the previous meet
ing it was announced that the election
of officers would be held at this ses-
sion. This announcement brought
out quite a number Of delegates that
had been irregular in attending the
meetings.
Credentials received from the
Painters for Brothers Curtis, Flynn
and Cyrus; Culinary Workers for Le-
nora Lee and Joe Fan; Teamsters for
@. Cotton. Credentials accepted and
the delegates obligated and seated.
The grievance committee which has
been working on the men employed
by the Johnson Transfer company re-
ported that the men were now MAX
ing an attempt to square themselves
with the Teamsters' Union.
The election Of officers was the
next order of business. Mrs. Johnson
has served the council so faithfully
the last term that there was not a
dissenting vote when she was nomi-
mated and reelected for another term.
Mrs. Johnson has earned another term
and had the result of the election
turned out differently, it would have
been a surprise. Mrs. johnson is
also secretary of the Laundry Work
ers' Union.
Brother Dethlefson was nominated
for another term as vice president,
but declined. Brothers Flynn and
Curtis were then nominated. Brother
Flynn was elected by close mar
gin.
Brothers Brackinreed and Winberg
were again reelected secretary and
treasurer by unanimous vote. This
is the twentieth time that Brother
Brackinreed has been elected to this
office. Brother Winberg is serving
his third term. Brother Kay was nom
mated for secretary. but withdrew IN
favor of Brackinreed.
Brothers zan, Kay, McLain and
Dethlefson were nominated for direct
ors Of the Labor Press. Brother Zan
withdrew, and Kay, McLain and Deth-
lefsOn were elected unanimously.
The newly elected officers were
duly installed by Brother Hinman.

LABOR LEGISLATION
IN FOREFRONT AT
OLYMPIA SESSION
Estate Federation sulletln.)


SEATTLE, Jan. 17-The state leg.
islature was in session all OF last
week, and while the legislative agent
of the federation was confined to his
home due to a severe attack OF grippe,
nevertheless prior preparations made
brought some of labor's planks to the
forefront during the early days of the
legislative session.
In a recent conference held be-
tween Governor Hart and the presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor
several important questions were
discussed, and in the governors ad-
dress delivered on the third day of
the session it was recommended that
the legislature memorable congress
to enact an adequate child labor law,
also that the Legislature revise up
wards the awards under the state
workmen's compensation law, and
the declaration made on behalf of the
state administration that they were op-
posed to the manufacture of any COM
m0dities at the state prison that
could possibly enter the open market
In competition with the products of
free labor. These three measures
constituted an important part of the
governors message to the Legislature
and cover three OF the important
planks laid down in the State Fedora.
tion of Labor's legislative program.
The question of increasing the
awards under the workmen's compen-
sation act bids fair to become the
biggest issue before the state legisla-
ture with labor marshalling its
forces for an effective fight on behalf
of the widow and orphans and the
manned and injured workmen of the
state. The Federated Industries OF
the state, which takes the place of
the former employers association,
held a meeting in the Frye hotel at
Seattle last week an d selected a
large lobby of employers to go to
Olympia to combat any attempt to In
crease in any way the awards for in
jured workmen or widows and chill
dren. The employers lobby includes
some of the notorious labor haters In

Reynolds of Spokane, and many 9th.
ers of a like character.
The proponents for substantial in.
creases In all awards under the law
have many friends in both houses,
and bitter fight is in prospect with
the odds favoring the labor and lib
eral forces.
A large number Of labor measures,
including the bill for providing a
mine examining board, an anti-in-
junction bill, the daylight kitchen
measure, and the measure aiming to
abolish night work in bakeries. may
all be introduced during the next
week or ten days, and before the leg
islature adjourns the entire legisla-
tive program of the State Federation
of Labor will be submitted to the leg
islature
The president Of the State Fedora
tion has recovered from his illness,

declared that "the condition OF the

Replying to opponents Of the bill,
who assert that it is @socialistic" in
that it puts the government into the
buying and selling business, H. F. Ba-
ker, president Of the Farmers Ma
