ASKS MODIFICATION
PETITION IN SPEECH
OVER THE AIR HERE
DanieIson Declares More Names
Must Be Presented to State
Secretary by Wednesday

An appeal for signers to a petition
to initiate a measure to memorial
lie congress to modify the prohibition
laws was broadcast here last night in a
radio address by J.. A. Danielson. Mi
not, representative of the supporters
of the proposal.
Danielson said that approximately
5000 of the 10000 names required fol
the petition had been obtained, but
that the remaining signatures must
be filed with the secretary of state
Wednesday afternoon.
I'VE have done everything in our
power - without organization and
without -ubstantial campaign funds
to secure the necessary signatures for
these petitions" Danielson told the
radio audience. IF we do not have
the required 10000 signatures by
Wednesday, 1t is because too many
rely upon others to send them in. 1t
isn't because the people of North Da-
kota are satisfied with the prohibition
law and do not want this work done,
"Ten years ago prohibition rode IN
on the crest Of an enraged public
opinion against a system of liquor
control that was admittedly wrong
the old saloon system. That system
represented the extreme in one direc-
ton. But we went too far. W. went
to the other extreme - prohibition.
Both are wrong. These ten years
have demonstrated 1t, and prohibi-
ton Is about to ride out on an equally
enraged public opinion.
THE activity in North Dakota at
this time is a part of a nationwide
movement. that unquestionably Is 60
ing to destroy the prohibition law In
our country as this law has been de-
stroyed in every country IN which 1t
has, been tried"
Danielson called to the attention
Of the radio audience the petition for
repeal of the states prohibition laws
Although more than the required
twenty thousand signatures were
submitted, the secretary Of state re-
jected the petition on the grounds
that they were defective. Mandamus
proceedings have been instituted In
the state supreme court in an effort
to compel the secretary of state to ac-
cept the petition.

WAGES ARE Low AND.
HELP IS PLENTIFUL
FOR WHEAT HARVEST
Farm Labor Director Says There
Are More Than Sufficient
Men for the Work
AGENTS DIRECT WORKERS
Farmers Paying $3.50 per Day
for Harvest and So for
Threshing Help

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 5-tF-The farm
labor outlook for North Dakota during
harvest and threshing Is favorable,
according to George e. Tucker, direc-
tor of the farm labor division Of the
U. 8. department Of labor, who Is
making his headquarters here during
the rush season.
At present supply and demand of
laborers IS about equal, Tucker said,
and no surplus or shortage of work.
ers Is anticipated at this time.
Farmers r paying $3.50 for harvest
tftands and 50 a day for threshing, the
wage scale being lower than usual.
Despite lower wages, there have been
plenty of men to supply the demand
for harvest, Tucker said. This lower
wage scale and the extremely hot
weather, however, has caused an un-
usual condition in this vicinity, he
said. The men are shifting from one
locality to another more than usual
and this has caused a slight surplus
OF help In some areas while other
areas have reported a shortage.
This condition has existed for only
a day or so, however, and Is not con-
sidered serious.
The heat has made many replace
ments Of. men necessary this year.
Many farm hands who are not used
to the climate and the strenuous Ia
Dor have been compelled to quit and
return to their homes.
Harvest is just getting under way
In the northern part of the state,
Tucker says, and reports from there
indicate the labor situation Is good.
The department Of labor has agents
at Fargo, Valley City, jamestown, Bis
marck, Dickinson, Grand Forks, La
kota, Cando, Minot, and Williston this
year. There is an agent working at
large south of Devils Lake directing
laborers to points where they are
needed.
The Fargo federal employment Of
flee placed approximately 100 men
last week. according to s. r. st.
Pierre, manager, and with threshing
beginning in general this week. the
number of placements is expected to
be much larger this week.

ZONE CHANGES ASKED
IN PRINCE GEORGES
County Commissioners to Hear Two
Applications at Date to
Be Determined.

~ STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. April A.
Two requests for coming changes in
Prince Georges County have been re-
ceived by the county commissioners and
will be given public hearing at date to
be determined later.
One of them, request of Robert S.
McCready, for Redistribution Of a strip
of land on Ardwick road near Ardwick
Station, from residential to commercial
has been disapproved by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
In explaining this action, Irwin Ow-
kilgs, chairman, declared that the ap-
plicant desires to zone a long strip of
more than 600 feet for commercial
purposes in a sparsely settled section
were there seems to be little If any de-
mand for business locations.
However, Chairman OwingS adds, II
McCready actually wishes to construct
one or two business properties, the park
commission would favorably recommend
at this time the rezoning of the amount
of land involved.
An application of Max Hoffman for
Redistribution of lot 81, block 81,
brentwood, from residential to CONNER
cial. was approved by the commission.
