Majority of Large Employers of Labor Show Few Signs ™ of Letting Down FOREMOST WAR LEADERS ENTER PRIVATE LIFE President Wilson and General Pershing Will Soon Retire From Public Affairs (By United Press.) Chicago, Nov. 11 (by H. L. O’Sul- livan) —Survey of labor in the middle west today shows little noticeable ex- tensive slackening in demand for workers. While industries in some spots have. slowed down, laying off large numbers of men—automobile manufactyrers being the outstanding example—the majority of employers of labor on a large scale showed few signs of letting down. j A survey of labor conditions in the middle west conducted by the United Press showed that while surplus labor is now reported in practically every city, in only one of two places is it at normal as compared with pre-war normal conditions. . This surplus has been created by the slowing up in a few industries only.. Five hundred unemployed are reported by the Okla- homa City employment office. The| great industries of the steel manu- facturers, packers, ete., in. most in- tances have failed as yet to show any alarming slackness in the demand for men. SURPLUS OF LABOR APPEARING IN EAST (By United Press) New York, Nov. 11. (By Wugh Bai- By United Press) i Washington, Nov. 11.—On the sec- ond anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the world war, America’s two foremost leaders in that conflict are making ready to step back into private life. Just two years ago today President Wilson; standing in the House of Rep- resentatives, read to an assemblage of congressmen, cabinet officials and diplomats the terms of the document the Germans had been forced to sign. Today, the president—a white haired invalid—a casualty of the great war he helped end, his friends say—is making ready to leave the White House for some quiet home where he probably will write a history of the great events in which he stood as a leading figure. Gen. John J. Pershing, head of the American Expeditionary force, soon will put aside the khaki. The first tull general since Grant, has finished his reports. His work in connection with the) army reorganization act is practically over. The general ex- pects soon to take a trip to South Am- erica as an official representative of this country. Beygnd that his plans are not KNOWIL oo comovw Along with Président Wilson, there will retire severnl ‘cabinet members who helped carry the burden of Am- erica’s war effort.

Representative MUSKRATS DEC. 1 TO APRIL 1 The Bemidji association luncheon and meeting held yesterday was largely attended and the lunch was specially enjoyed. Swift & Company donated a generous supply of their Cloverland lamb and Koors Bros. treated the members to a delicious dish of their Ice Cream Supreme. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Sanborn read a report of the conventlon which she attended of the Natfonal Asociation of Commercial Secretaries at Chicago and pointed out some of the essentials of success- ful commercial association as they were presented there. The report of the Merchants com- mittee of the association regarding the closing of stores and the arrange- ments for the dinner to be given to the farmers of the community on De- cember 4th, was presented and adopted. Mrs. McMahon presented the matter of securing a suitable place for the poultry show and avail- able places were suggested. A talk full of information and in- terest was given by Mr. Modeer of Swift & Company on the necessity of a greater consumption of lamb and sheep products. He pointed out that lamb was in reality cheaper than pork or beef when considered cut for cut and was a cleaner and more pal- atable product. Less lambs are dis- cased than either cattle or hogs. He impressed upon his hearers the advis- ibility of creating a greater home market for this product. “It is a western product but is being con- sumed mostly in the east,”” he said. This nataraly accounts largely for the fluctuating market. The lambs raised in the Cloverland district in which Bemidji is situated when dressed yield a greater per cent of meat than the lambs raised on the western ranges with which the Clov- erland dlstrict competes. ‘The meeting was turned over to the Beltrami County Fair association for the transaction of their business, (By United Press.) St. Paul, Nov. 11.-—Approximately 100,000 muskrats will be saved from slaughter this winter because of a proclamation issued by Governor Burnquist at the request of Carfos Avery, state game and fish commis- sioner.
