Washington, July S-Though
the executive offices have been
transferred to Swampscott, the
administrative forces of the vari-
Gus Federal Departments con-
tinue to function from Washing
ton. Perhaps the busiest agency
Of the National Government is
the Labor Department and its
various bureaus. Between regu-
lating the flow of immigration
and then keeping peace among
labor groups and employers, Sec
rotary Davis and his associates
find life anything but dull. AT
present this department is quiet
ly at work in an effort to pre-
vent an empty coal bin for next
winter.
There is little group of men
who are seldom mentioned in
public prints but their activities
may influence your comfort for
several months. They are con-
nected with Federal Board of
Arbitration and Mediation which
is about the last resort when
workers and employers are OBJ
stinate. With prospects for a
strike among anthracite miners
growing. government arbitrators
may eventually settle differences
regarding wages and working
conditions. The coal operators
and union chiefs have reached
the fist shaking stage Of what
may be prolonged controversy
directly affecting coal consumers.
AS the menace of a strike in
creases, questions are asked here
as to the attitude of President
Coolidge in an emergency. Some
predict that he will deal with
problems more directly than did
Roosevelt when a similar situa
ton developed more than two
decades ago. Others say that he
will be inclined to keep free from
the issue until no other course
but Intervention is possible. II
is known that the President is

on his lap. Times have changed
in our economic and political
circles since Colonel Roosevelt
welded the Big Stick" with POI
pular approval. Hence, we find
the Labor Department struggling
manfully for peace among coal
men to prevent a crisis Of nation
al Importance.
The numerous casualties among
men high in congressional life
have renewed interest in politics.
Headquarters Of the two major
parties which would have gone to
seed during the summer have
been busy selling their particular
brands of faith. The spirited
contest for seats in the Senate
and House vacated by the death
of the duly elected representa-
tives makes clear the need Of eff
ficiency in organization. Each
party is making serious attempts
to gain in numerical strength for
obvious reasons. Their idea is
that Every little bit added to
what you've got makes just a
little bit more" besides it keeps
people interested in public men
and that means something.
No bill collector ever "dunned"
a debtor with more irritating
persistancy than the Treasury
Department. Spurred on by talk
from republican and democratic
leaders for another tax reduction,
the Treasury is pressing foreign
nations for settlements. Like
wise. the back taxes Of citizens
are being gathered with equal
earnestness for it is necessary to
provide a surplus before scaling
down Of the tax rates. The
European Governments have
realized that cash and not word,
are required.
Some years ago Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover, a recognized
authority on international af
fairs, stated that debts would no,
be paid until the budgets of the
foreign governments were balanc
ed. He made clear at that time
that they would be obliged t.

EXCHANGE CALLS 8
DISTRICT MEETINGS


Three District meetings to be
attended by county boards and
trustees have been called by the
executive board of the Minnesota
Potato Growers Exchange. They
will meet at Moorhead on July
8, at Brainerd. July 0 and at Cam
bridge, July 10.
At these meetings. board MEM
bers, trustees and the state exc
cutive board will go over the
Exchanges operations last year
and consider plans for the COM
ing season so that a definite
plan can be presented TO the
annual meeting, which will be
held at st. Paul July Il.
The state office last week sent
official ballots to the associations
entire membership. These may
be mailed TO secretaries Of the
various county associations before
July 10 or cast by the member in
person at the designated polling
place between 10 a. m. and 1
p. m, July IA. the day Of the cleo
ton.
Action of certain members of
the Clay county association last
week to withdraw from the Ex-
change is illegal and will be dis
regarded by the organization, ac-
cording to w. z. Rumble, its gem
eral counsel.
The meeting, according TO the
st. Paul Office of the Exchange,
was engineered by a small group
who seek release from their con-
tracts. Mr.. Rumble. with FIVE
members of the state board, at
tended the meeting upon invita-
ton. supposedly for the purpose
of discussing matters of policy
with regard to the Exchange.
When the board appeared. a lot
of prepared questions were sub
mitted, many Of which were so
worded that il was impossible to
make an intelligent reply. The
Board was excused without an
opportunity to make any state
ments or give those present
any information as to the Ex-
change.
Between 800 and 400 of the 900
members in Clay county were
present when the meeting open
ed but by the time the resolution
of withdrawal was presented.
less than $50 remained. more
than half having left the
hall. Many members voiced their
disapproval Of the discourteous
manner in which the executive
board was treated by the leaders
of the withdrawal move.

this type are filling state insti-
tutions and asylums and causing
much public expense.
DR.. Ehmke lauded various lead
ers of liberty and in general
handled his subject well. showing
that he is deep thinker.
His address concluded, the
band played Star Spangled Ban
ner after which the mems glee
club entertained well with sever
al songs.
A tug-of-war between the mar
ried and single men resulted in
victory for the latter. A second
attempt when the benedicts
pulled down hill proved disas-
trous to the single men so honors
are about even according to the
most authentic information.
There were races of various
kinds. Andrew p. lessen, all
winded, clearly showed that he
had labored hard to win in his
division and well deserved the
prize.
A game of kitten-ball also
proved very interesting to both
participants and spectators.

CITIZENSHIP ALSO
CARRIES OBLIGATIONS
DIR. w. G. Ehmke Of Willow
River, Gives Good Talk
at AskOv.

The Fourth of July celebration
in the Askov park Saturday
afternoon was more on the quiet
and neighborly picnic order, but
however, drew a fair sized
crowd and all seemed to enjoy
the day.
The program was opened with
music by the Askov Band after
which Hans Mosbek. president
of the Young Peoples Society,
introduced w. c. Ehmke, M. D.,
of Willow River, speaker of the
day. who spoke for 80 minutes to
an attentive audience that filed
all the available seating places
around the speakers stand.
DIR. Ehmke spoke about the
settling of America after its dis
covery by Christopher Columbus
in 1892, and said that settlers did
not arrive in very large numbers
until after the landing of the
Mayflower in 1920 when the first
permanent settlement was made
by people who loved freedom
and came to American shores
seeking liberty. From then on
immigration increased until it
reached the million mark annh-
ally just before the World War.
Speaking of the obligations
that go with freedom and citi-
zenship the Doctor said il is up
to the individual to acquire know
ledge so that he is fully able to
appreciate liberty and derive its
full benefits. 1t is not enough to
have book knowledge in the
schools but there should at the
same time be taught morals or
ethics so that every American is
clearly able to distinguish be-
tween right and wrong.
The speaker was strong in his
denunciation of alcoholic drinks
and told of the sad consequences
following its uses. Nervous dis
eases may follow in the first,
second and even third generation
after a drunkard, and people Of
