GEORGE WELSH IS DOING MUGH FOR STATE LABOR Wages for Common Laborers Is High Here, From $2 to $2.50 Per Day. George Welsh, commissioner of the State Board of Immigration, is doing considerably, at present, to re- leve the unfilled demands for labor- ingmen in northern Minnesota, and with the limited allowances given him by the legislature is assisting very much in generally bettering conditions hereabouts. Though the medium of Mr. Welsh’s campaign of publicity of conditions relative to farming lands hereabouts and the demand for laborers many land-hungry individ- uals and common-day laborers have come into this section for the pur- pose of buying land and working on the farms and in the mills and other manufacturing industries in this section, Mr. Welsh, during the past two years, has circulated requests among the workmen and farming interests of other states for people who want to rent farms and laborers who desire work in Minnesota, with the result that his office is now receiving many requests for farms to rent and goodly number of experienced farm hands who wart work n this state; and Mr. Welsh is sending out circu- lars giving the names of those who want to rent farms and also those who desire work. There has been a dearth of com- moa laborers In this section since the work of gathering the hay and grain crop commenced over in the Red Ruver Valley section and in the Dakotas, and common laborers are receiving from $2 to $2.50 per day | for working in the mills and on the] railroad lines.

CANADA IS REPRESENTED Northern Neighbor, as Well as All Sections of the United States, Par- ticipating In the Proceedings. Feared Ballinger-Pinchot = Contro- versy May Push Aside Other Im- portant Matters. Seattle, Aug. 27.—The first National Conservation congress met in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition audi- torium with delegates present from all parts of the United States and Can- ada. The session was devoted to speeches of welcome and an address by Joseph N. Teal, chairman of the Oregon conservation commission, on “The Necessity of Conserving Our Resources.” 5 The keynote of Mr. Teal's address was that the natural resources we have are ours but for a time, that ‘while providing for our present needs the right is not ours to exhaust the source of supply. No other theory, he said, is tenable. The inauguration of the conserva- tion movement, the speaker said, is considered by Theodore Roosevelt the greatest act of his administration. Mr. Teal spoke of the great work ac- complished ~by Gifford Pinchot and tcok ocasion to say that President Taft is a supporter of the conserva- tion movement, quoting from- the president’s messagas, speeches and views to show he is in accord with the movement. Promoters of the congress express the hope that thz strife between the followers of Chief Foresier Pinchot and Secretary Ballinger will not at- tract so much attention as to push aside other important matters. Pin- chot will b2 one of the speakers, but Ballinger will nct attend, although he is now in the vicinity.
