MEW YORK AND CHICAGO ARANCHES (N ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES LA FOLLETTE'S SEAMEN’S LAW. One of the most discussed laws dur- ing the past six months has been the LaFollette seamen’s law. Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin is the author of the law which provides for owners, sailors and public. Much opposition has arisen by the steamship companies who claim that they are unable to operate under this law. They have discharged crews and have cancelled scheduled steam- ship lines, alleging that under the law they have been made to operate the lines at a loss. That the law will be one of the main topies of the next session of congress is almost certain. Here is just what the act provides for the owners, sailors and public, with the United States Department of Commerce’s rulings on certain sec- tions of the law incorporated: Section 1 compels a ship captain, short-handed during a voyage to fill vacancies with men.of the same or higher rating before proceeding. Sec- tion 2 makes nine hours a day’s work in port. Section 3 provides that for every day’s delay in collecting his wages, a man gets double pay. Section 4 provides that in any port a sailor on any ship may collect half his pay or complain to U. and get full pay and the right to quit. Section 5 rules that a majority of the common crew may have the ship examined for seaworthiness, or its supplies for quality, by U. S. agents. Section 6 bids goodby to the fore- castle of fiction. There must be a berth for each man in a clean room drained and ventilated and with shower bath. There must be a ship’s hospital. When a sailor quits, says Section 7, he cannot be imprisoned or forced to work. For insubordination le may be placed in irons and for as- saulting an officer, imprisoned for two days. Section 9 prohibits flogging sail- ors. If the master of a vessel fails to deliver such an offender, he and the vessel owners are liable for dam- ages. Section 10 gives two ounces of ‘butter and five quarts of water to each sailor daily. Section 11 prohibits sailors as- signing wages to employment offices or saloons. Wages can be assigned only to near relatives. Section 12 prohibits garnishment of wages ex- cept by courts acting for near rela- tives. Section 13 requires 75 per cent of each crew to ‘understand officers’ or- ders; but orders is all they need un- derstand. Forty per cent of the crew must be able seamen. This will gradually rise to 65 per cent and in 1920 an able seaman must have hall three years’ service on the seas or ‘Great Lakes. 8. officers|” profitable campaigns this live wire organization ever undertook—a cam- paign no less important than its first great campaign for reapportionment. For at this meeting plans will be made for the first to put over Amend- ment No. 1—the reclamation antend- ment, which was “Amendment No. 3" last year. In this fight is -bound up:thei fu- ture of state development, the future of Northern Minnesota and of every county, township, city- village, ham- let and settlement in it. The reclamation amendment, as put through the last legislature by such'| hustlers for Northern Minnesota:.as Senators McGarry, Nord and Vibert, and Representatives M.lner, Searls, Bessette and Peterson of Coleraine, is a a vastly more important proposal |’ than it was as it came before thel’ people last year. This time, besides providing for setting aside a reclamation revolving fund for making firebreaks and roads in and around state land, the amend- ment provides also for CLEARING state lands. Under it is will be-pos- sible for the state to begin an intel- ligent policy of development by clear- ing a part of each trict offered for sale, adding the cost to the price of ithe land, and thus enormously hast- ‘ening theisalé of lands and the settle- ment and development of the north country. No more vital, no more important, no more profitable an opportunity ever confronted Northern Minnesota, and the N. M. D. A. never had a greater chance to be of high service to the state than it has in this cam- paign for Amendment No. 1. The N. M. D. A. should begin this ‘campaign with every ounce of energy behind it that Northern Minnesota 'possesses. To that end, the Bemidji meeting should be attended by the best hust- lers in every Northern Minnesota county and every Northern Minne- sota community. The job before the N. M. D. A. is a big job, and it needs every hand and brain that can be mustered into the service. To succeed in it means to put ahead the development of Northern Minnesota twenty years. To fail in it means to delay that de- velopment perhaps twenty years. To win the fight for Amendment No. 1 means to begin a new epoch in the fight for settlement and development, an epoch that will enormously profit the state and every man, woman and child in it. Every county, every community, in Northern Minnesota should begin NOW to see to it that the biggest and most earnest meeting the N. M. D. A. ever had is held in Bemidji De- cember 9 and 10. DRINK; BUT DRINK WATER. a strict abstainer from the use of any sort of booze ought to follow the advice. The-circular adds the advice: = “Drink six to eight glasseés of water a day. ‘A glass of cold water taken before meals is the best appetizer.” ——Néw York World. KKK KK KK KK KKK * 'YESTEEDAY’S EVENTS = * * IN EUROPEAN WAR ¥ KEKEK KKK KKK KK XY A Washington report is that Lord Kitchéner’s ultiinate mission during his mysterious absence from the Brit- ish war office is said to be in India, | where, aceor@ing to'the same infor- mation, British rule is confronted with a more serious state of unrest than generally has been known out- side of British official ecircles. Steady advances by the forces of |- ithe Teutonic powers and their Bul- arfan allies invading Serbia are re- iported in today’s German official ‘statement. Ten heavy guns and forty other cannon were captured by the Ger- ‘mans-in'the taking of Krusevac, re- ported yesterday, 7,000 Serbians be- |’ ing made prisoners at the same time. The German advance is continuing south of Krusevac. South' of Kralievo, on the Western Morava, the Teutonic forces are push- ing on and have driven the Serbians out of their main positions there. Field Marshal von Hindenburg re- ports a success for his troops on the heavy fighting near Dvinsk, where the Russians have been maintaining a consistent offénsive although with- out much gain of ground. Infantry activities have been re- newed on the front in France, Paris reports. Artillery actions in Cham- pagne district and in some other sections of the front are recorded. A" hint that Italy may aid Serbia indirectly by sending troops to Al- bania to meet a threatened Bulgarian invésion of that country, is contained , W ,ebsier’s lT IS a big responsi- bility to recommend a facial cream. A pharmacist must know the exact formula of the cream before he can con- -scientiously advise its use. And he mast know that its manufacturers adhere strict- ly to the very highest quality “standards. It is because we do know both these things that we advise the use of Webster's “Drink when you get up.” “Drink before you go to bed.” “Drink half an hour before meals.” This is the advice of the health de- partment contained in a bulletin is- sued yesterday, three days after Dr. Sigmund S. Goldwater, who had con- ducted a crusade against the use of alcoholic liquors, quit the depart- ment to return to Mount Cinai -hos- pital. Dr. C. F. Bouldan, who handed out the circular, gave the additional in- formation that it applied to every- body.
