lished on Tote lake to provide labor
for the new road being built into Moose

ing to information received here this
week by Ranger Frank Legat of the
Fernberg district who is supervising the
project.
Work of establishing the camp, was

old Fernberg CCC camp are being used
The crew will include 80 laborers,
two cooks, four truck drivers, clerk
and foreman. The appropriation
which comes from an ERA relief fund
allocated to the forest service, will keep
the camp going until June 80. Whether
or not it will be continued after this
date depends upon the progress OF
work and the availability of additional
funds.
Grading of the road will start as soon
as the spring breakup comes. The road
will probably be graveled.
During the winter 14-man WPA
crew from Lake county has been clear
ing the right-of-way. Ely men will be
used in increasing this number to the
required amount. G. w. Cavanaugh
Aurora, is construction foreman.

C. E. Carlson, president of
the Duluth, Missabe & Nor
thern, hit at "the meddling of
politicians in industrial re-
lations" and said that business
manager can look for no ease
ment of pressure from that
quarter" in speaking to the XII
wants club of Hibbing last
week. There are no OBJ
jections" he said "to labor
unions and collective bargain
ing is alright. Industrial man
ayers are human beings and
want the best in welfare for
their employees and the highest
wages possible" He did not
fall in with the submitting of
disputes to government boards
set up under the National Rail-
way Act as he said in most in
stances the roads were penal
lied inasmuch as the personnel
of the mediation and adjust
ment boards under the federal
law are political appointments.

Duluth, Minneapolis and ST..
Paul have a bill before the

will permit them to exact a
sales tax and "this is the first
sales tax we small town people

for the three cities will undo
much of what the paved high
way has done to hurt the bust
ness of the small town near
these cities by removing the
tendency to go to the city to

Oslo Foreign Office
On City Of Flint Case
Reports on Operations Of
Deutschland and Emden
Are in Conflict

OSLO. Norway. Oct 25-A repre-
sentative of the United States Lega-
ton called at the foreign Office today
to discuss the German seizure of
the American steamer City of Flint
and her call at the Norwegian port
of Tromso in control of German
prize crew.
The nature of the discussion was
not disclosed.
The City of Flint case remained
a puzzle to Scandinavian shipping
circles.
Conflicting Reports on Raiders.
There were conflicting reports of
the roles said to have been played
by the German pocket battleship
Deutschland and the cruiser Emden
in the sinking of two British vessels
whose survivors were aboard the
Flint when she arrived Friday In
Tromso, Norway.
The survivors were creWmen Of
the 5044-ton Stonegate and an un-
identified vessel.
The newspaper Aftenposten said
the Deutschland operated south and
east Of Newfoundland from October
Is. According to the paper, the
Stonegate was sunk October 5 and
the 1,9l8-ton Norwegian steamer
Lorentz w. Hansen on October IA,
both by the Deutschland, which also
halted two other Norwegian ships
but allowed them to proceed.
British consular officials who talked
with the British survivors aboard
the Flint when they were put ashore
at Tromso, and later at Trondheim,
where they paused while en- route
to Bergen, were uncommunicative
Britons Mystified.
Mystiflcation was expressed in
British circles as to why the Flint,
after her arrival in the neutral port
OF Tromso. allowed herself to be
taken to Russia" despite the pres
ence of Norwegian warships in the
harbor.
A Norwegian explanation was
that the German prize crew in COM
mand of the ship had a right to
call at a neutral port for supplies
and resume the journey within "a
hours.
AS far as could be learned the
American skipper of the Flint, Capt.
Joseph A. Gainard. had no oppor-
tunity to communicate with Nor

what else is going on in this silent

now allegedly resting in Murmansk
Is the Bremen, crack German pas
senger liner which left New York
after war began.
Three Factors Cited.
Other Government officials share
the Presidents optimism on the
matter of releasing the City of Flint
ano her crew. They pointed to
three factors in support of their
view:
l. Word from Moscow that Rus
sia had interned the German prize
crew aboard the freighter.
2. A statement at the same time
that the American ship was being
detained only temporarily.
3. The willingness with which the
Russian government promised AM
bassador Steinhardt to get all pos
sible facts from Murmansk port au-
thorities.
The case appeared to some Of
ficials to be a likely means of
clarifying Russia's position either
as neutral or as virtual ally of
Germany in the European war.
The United States contends that
neutral country should not permit
her ports to be used as a repository
for ships taken by belligerent. If
Russia permits her ports to be used
as a refuge for German vessels and
their prizes which are unable to
reach Germany because of the Brit
ish blockade, she, in the American
view, would be going beyond the
limits of neutrality.
Contrabard Admitted.
Secretary of State Hull acknowl-
edged yesterday that more than
half the cargo of the City of Flint
was conditional contraband. and
some of it was absolute contraband
Conditional contraband is mate
rial, such as food and clothing,
which is immune from seizure if
destined for civil populations of
belligerent country but subject to
seizure if destined for the armed
forces. Absolute contraband, such as
steel, is subject to seizure If it is
being shipped to any one in a war
ring nation.
The White House took the po-
sition that if its proposed amend
ments to the Neutrality Act had
been on the statute books the seiz-
ure would not have taken place. The
bill would prevent American ships
from sailing for ports in European
war zones. The City of Flint had
sailed from New York for British
ports, and Stephen Early, presiden-
tial secretary, emphasized that she
was on a perfectly lawful voyage
under existing laws"

O'Conor Acts to Speed
Rood Lond Purchases
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 25.-In an
effort to speed up the purchase of
land needed for roads, the State
Roads Commission plans to stop
lengthy negotiating and substitute
condemnation proceedings.
Gov. O'Conor announced the new
take it or leave it" policy yesterday.
He said Maryland's "antiquated"
condemnation law and the policy of
previous commissions in negotiating
at length for needed property had
resulted in the freezing" of some
$4,000, 900 in Federal funds for roads.
The money was allotted to certain
construction which was held up by
right-of troubles.
Hereafter, Gov. O'Conor said,
commission experts will set a "rea-
sonable" value on the land. If the
owner will not take this price, con-
demnation proceedings will be start
ed at once. He also said he had
asked the legislative council to pre-
pare amendments to the present
condemnation law for submission to
the General Assembly next year.

Civilians Ordered to Quit
New Strip AIonq Rhine

BASEL. Switzerland, Oct. Is R-
French civilians began a complete
withdrawal today from another g.
mile strip along the Rhine River
frontier from Strasbourg south to a
point below the Swiss frontier. When
this move is completed the area
abandoned will extend II miles
back from the Rhine.
Reason for the exodus was not
Immediately learned. Some military
observers associated it with the re-
cent destruction of three Rhine
railroad bridges and the Kembs
Dam foot bridge by the French,
taken as an indication that the
French command was preparing for
a German attack across the river
from Baden.
Others, however said the exodus
was a routine measure, inspired by
the French Army's need of more
quarters for troops moving into the
Rhineland front.
These observers reported a large
contingent of British troops was
moving gradually into the Rhine
land, first adapting themselves to
lie in the third line of Maginot
fortresses at the Vosges Mountains,
then moving forward into the Sec
ond line of defenses on the eastern
slopes of the Vosges.
Farmers have continued to work
IN the fields within the first 6-mile
zone ordered emptied of civilians,
but the latest orders provided that
all persons must leave.
The Rhine front remained quiet.
Despite the rise of the river in re-
cent weeks, neither Germans nor
French were reported to have left
any of their main riverside forts.
