EMPLOY MENT
SITUATION Is
CALLED GOOD
Heavy Building Program Gives
North Dakota Tradesmcn
Steady Work

A heavy building program this
summer gives North Dakota trades
men assurance of continual employ
ment throughout the building sea-
son, according to a labor conditio.>s
report for April issued today by the
United States Department Of Labor.
There was good demand for
farm labor during the latter part
of April, and this is expected to con-
tinue until all the small grains have
been sown, the report said. =,
"Cold weather interfered with
farm operations to some extent, bu!
as a whole there was good demand
for farm labor during the latter
part of April and this is expected
to be maintained until the later part
of May" the report sad.
"The building program under way
and contemplated for the season
gives assurance Of satisfactory en-
ploymcnt for all local tradesmen
during the spring and summer.
Ignite mining in North Dakota
showed the expected seasonal de-
cline. Other industries are running
about normal.
Conditions Satisfactory
"a lull in the demand for farm
labor in the vicinity Of Fargo was
evident during the last two weeks
Of the month, due to cold weather,
but there were sharp calls for this
class during May. Many unskilled
workers are being shipped from this
city to western points for railroad
construction. Meat packing. rail-
roads and other leading employers
report normal forces at work"
Railroad construction and MAIN
tenance projects are utilizing a
large number Of the unskilled work
ers in Grand Forks, and there is
a brisk call for competent farm
workers, the report said. Normal
employment conditions are reported
in all the Grand Forks factories and
indications point to steady employ
ment for all resident labor during
the building season.
The demand for farm help in
Minnesota is exceptionally brisk,
and the resumption of navigation
was reflected in better employment
conditions for workers in the iron
mines. Road construction and city
improvements are expected to en-
ploy much of the unskilled labor.
Building is active with fair season
in prospect.
The general volume Of unemploy-
ment throughout South Dakota is
smaller than during the previous
month. While the building program
there will not be large, resident
tradesmen are expected to be kept
busy during the summer months.
The western part of the state has a
large construction and maintenance
program that will be launched this
season.

HAMBURG HAS
BATTLE WITH
PH0SGENE GAS
IL Persons Dead at Noon To-
day-9O Victims Treated
in Hospitals

Hamburg, Germany, May 81
(AP)-Faced with all the grin
reality of chemical warfare, the
city of Hamburg today was fight.
ing q deluge Of phosgene gas-a
wartime poison gas-which began
escaping from chemical factory
in the Free Harbor district last
night, overcoming q large number
Of persons.
BY noon today eleven persons,
most Of them firemen and police
men, were dead and ninety victims
were in hospitals under treatment.
The entire city was menaced but
it was hoped that rain which set in
would absorb the gas fumes. A
needed number of gas masks for the
use Of those actively fighting the
menace reached Hamburg from
Berlin after an emergency call had
been sent for them. A northeast
wind also was carrying the fumes
from the city in the direction of the
nearby town Of Williamsburg.
The gas escaped from a tank in
the. chemical factory Of DR.. Hugo
Stolzenburg. Phosgene gas is no
longer manufactured there but
quantities Of it were stated to have
been accumulated and stored for
expectation to the United States.
The first effects of the gas were
felt near the harbor, driving resi-
idents Of the district from their
homes in panic. Troops were called
out and guided men, women and
children to other sections of the
city and the streets in the menaced
district were closed. The cmigra-
ton sheds of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line were pressed into service
to shelter the homeless while the
police requisitioned all available
milk as q gas antidote.
So serious was the menace that
all the ambulances and fire brigades
in Hamburg were modified for
service, the fire brigades DOMINIC
gas masks and fighting off the
fumes with ammonia.

Girl Near Death
from Poison Dose

Chicago, May 81. - (AP) = The
contrary dictates Of her heart and
her ambition led Helen r. Owens,
University of Chicago coed, to take
poison last Tuesday; her unwilling
ness to fight off the effects of the
potion had taken her close to death
today.
The 22-year-old medical student
had been torn between a desire to
become the wife Of John Mayer,
Pittsburgh engineer, and an ambi-
ton, encouraged by her parents, to
finish her studies. Mayer and her
father, Prof. Frederick w. Owens,
dean Of mathematics at Pennsyl-
vania State college, were at her
bedside.
All parental objection to the mar
riage had been swept away. There
never had been any objection to the
girls choice for a husband, said
Prof. Owens, the only expression of
the parents being that Miss Owens
finish her studies in the school of
medicine first.
Doctors said their patients un-
willingness to continue life was
making their task doubly hard.
Nine blood transfusions have been
resorted to, with so students ready
to offer their blood If more trans
fusions are deemed necessary.

GOOD HAY, ALFALFA CROP CERTAIN
IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA

was not planted this spring, espe-
cially Of the spring varieties. The
difference, however, was supple
mented by the use Of durum wheats.
This was due to the cold weather
which made it impossible for farm
.ers to get in the amount Of wheat
planned.
FLAX will be about normal in
acreage, with possible Is or 20
per cent increase over last year. The
increase is credited generally to the
prospect of better price for fl:x
as compared to other crops.
livestock came through the win
ter in fine condition, because Of On
abundance of feed.
1.-THE oats and barley acreage will
be practically the same as in 1927.
The corn acreage is expected to be
increased about five per cent.
Dairying Is on Increase
"There is a noticeable tendency to
increase dairying in the county,
which, an Investigation shows, is
partially due to the activities of the
Agricultural Credit corporation OF
Minneapolis.
Poultry production will be about
normal"
Reports from Mercer. Stark and
Slope counties indicate that the
acreage planted to small grains will
be about normal, while the corn
acreage will be slightly increased.
Each correspondent believed that
dairying and poultry production was
increasing.
Wheat acreage in Adams county
was increased this year, due to a
large available acreage planted last
year to flax, said Ray w. Harding,
Adams county extension agent.
Livestock is in good condition,
Harding said, with a tendency to in
crease dairying and poultry produc-
ton noticeable in this territory.
1.-THE general crop outlook in this
territory for 1923 is believed to be
better than the average" said the
First State bank Of New Leipzig, in
Grant county. winter rye looks
good, and wheat and flax are ex-
pected to show increases in acre
ages. Hog and poultry raising is
expected to increase this year"
