These aliens slip into this country either from Cuba, and making their way north and west, or they come in over the Canadian or Mexican bor- der. Without an absolutely prohibi- tively expensive border patrol it seems ‘impossible to prevent smug- gling of. either liquor or aliens, but much can be done to prevent the latter, according to- Seeretary Davis, if congress is willing to enact a com- pulsory registration law. Representations' have been made to the Cuban government, with the hope that it can aid in preventing the influx of the forty some thou- sand. Chinese now supposed to be on the island awaiting a chance to en- ter this country. If, however, in- tern_afional agreements prove ineffec- tive in preventing our immigration laws from being violated, Secretary Davis believes that a compulsory reg- istration law for aliéns would make smuggling unprofitable, if not impos- sible.” He ‘is _alse of ‘the opinion that it would srfeedily. rid this country of aigefjnbl‘ aliens, snd| k sils, workhouses - and shouses many a national who has no right here and send him hack to his native land, there to be cared for, not at the expense of the Ameri- can taxpayer. COLLEGE GIRLS WORK FOR ROOM AND BOARD A number of young ladies con- templating . attending the Bemidji State Teachers college this year are desirous _of obtaining . employment for their room and board. Parties having such employment to offer are asked to communicate with Mrs. Grace B. Thacker, dean of women, telephone 154. Much Difficulty Experienced tting Empty Cars; Some Mills Close The.demand for lumber continues heavy and is in excess of current production. Sellers are carefully choosing orders and are not accept- ing any ‘business which does not readily fit their stocks. Naturally orders calling for a large number of items ‘are more expensive to handle and.. less desirable than orders for :|ranged and will proctically straight carloads, and this_ fact is being borne home to many purchaser who at this time are having difficulty in placing- badly mixed orders. The stocks at the mills, are not well assorted and, in view of the transportation situation, very few manufacturers are Willing ‘o commit themselves regarding fut- w.. delivery. Consequently, badly mixed orders are being turned down almost invariably, and buyers are going from mill to mill seeking to place them. . Demand from the industrial trade continues good, despite the troubles resulting from the coal and railroad strikes. Retail lumbermen continue to buy heayily, for, according to the American Lumberman, ~ there is a growing sentiment in the’rural dis- tricts that business will be fairly good this fall, even if it is not rushing. _The car supply is becoming smaller and much dificuhy'is- experienced -in getting empties. As a matter of fact, shipments would be much heavier. if cars could be obtained. The car sit- uation has caused some mills to close down, particularly hardwood mills that secure a large amount of their logs by rail. Other mills have with- drawn from the market temporarily|. and their salesmen are off the road. While prices are firm and have an upward tendency, there is expressed on all sides a desire on the part of lumbermen to prevent a runaway market, BEMIDJI, MINN.,' SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. 2, 1922 % ® MESSAGE SAYS Secretary of Home Missions Board Today Sends Out Labor ‘Day Message RIGHT SPIRIT LACKING IN MODERN INDUSTRY Declares Industry Has Right to Look to the Church for Moral Guidance (By United Press) New York, Sept. 2,—Dr. John Mc- Dowell, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions and sponsor for the industrial and social creed of the . Presbyterian Church, today is- sued a Labor Day message under the title “The Christ Spirit—The Solu- tion of Our Industrail Problems.” Dr. McDowell affirms unhesitat- ingly that the "spirit of Christ is the only solution of the four most urgent industrial problems of today. In his message he said in part: “Whatsoever the present critical industrial situation may mean to the School, to the Court, and to the State, here can be no doubt about what it means tothe Christian Church. It is a direct, definite and iffescapable challenge to the Church of Christ to create and nourish the one thing lacking in modern indus- try—namely the right spirit. ‘Of all the criticisms leveled against modern industrialism,” says Judson G. Rose- bush, president of the Patten Paper company, Appleton, Wis., ‘none is so basic as the allegation that the un- derlying . spirit is - ethically wrong.

Almost unbeliavable to those whose only idea of a flying machine is a whirling propeller and a heavy en- gine, it is pointed out that here the German aeronaut has only done for a short space of time what the al- batross does for weeks, and has but imitated all those birds of great wing spread which soar, circle, rise and fall without any movement of their wings save slgiht flexures for balancing purposes. It has long been known that the power of the air currents was amply sufficient to support a weight great- er than its bulk of air,"even in a man-made bird; Lilienthal, the Ger- man father of gliding, demonstrated Declares Trade Should Begin to Brighten Up During the Next Few Weeks Wellesley Hills, Mass., Sept- 2— With so much talk about Bolshevism and radicalism one is led to believe that the world is rapidly becoming socialistic, Certainly such thoughts are evident when one reads about Russia, Mexico, and certain other countries. Roger Babson, however claims that' this is not true. His ex- act statement in an interview this week upen this subject is as follows: “Socialism, as a party movement, is almost dead, so far as the States are concerncd. It never has been at home here. It is exotic. It does not fit United States conditions and it has no great hold upon the workers of this country. The Socialist leaders know this better than we do. They are ready now to combine with other ° people—workers, farmers, anybody who will go into a combine. Previously, they have been unwill- ing to hob nob with anybody except ‘Violence on R ABSQN ShOl;Jm en Con Wi Any that years before he lost his life. But until recently it was supposed that direction controlled flight could not be obtained by man without a source of power independent of the sup- porting air. Now these German trials and tests seem to demonstrate that the art of the birds is not be- yond the power of man to master, and at least to make it possible, if not probable, that the age of flight is not to be a continuation of engine- driven planes, but a story of bird- like structures which take their pow- er from the air which supports them. those who were willing to take the party name and pledges. Moreover, there is a distinct tendency on the part of organized labor to rid itself of the incubus of Socialism. | The battle has been fought out as far as the American Federation of La- bar is concerned.

Both villages boast exceptiénally good teams this year and each is after a victory and possibly two in this ser- jes. The games will be called at 3 o'clock and it is urged that Bemidji support the games liberally. Both Tenstrike and Laporte will be well represented it is reported. The teams are evenly matched, if the advance dope can be used as a criterion, and two fast games are as- sured.

Persistent reports, circulated - by the leaders of the shopmen, refused to abide by the terms of the injunes: tion. The United States Army will'be called out to protect the railroads. . Strike leaders recovered from the bomb shell thrown yesterday by At- torney General Daugherty and made no move to check the strike. The gaurded statement of the headquar- ters of shop crafts declared that the organization would support the’goy: ernment’s efforts to end lawlessness: and violence in connectio nwith the strike. The statement declared today, how- ever, “it can hardly be assumed that the federal court intends to restrgin the lawful acts necessary in carrys ing on the wark of labor arganiza- tions.” - Burt M. Jewell, president of the shop crafts left Chicago hyrriedly for the east with the avowed intefi- tion of “staying there until the strike is over.” It was reported, that Jewell went to Cleveland to confer - with the leaders of the Big Four. - John Scott, secretary to Jewell’ declared that if the intentions were lived u to the letter, continuance of the strike would be impossible. United States Marshals coptinued their efforts to serve subpoenas on the 134 members of the shopmen’s organization named in the injunction. The court held, however, that pub- lication of the injunction wopld be equivalent to personal service. Union laborers speculate as to how far the government would go in docketing up the court. They point out that a grimace or work of encouragement to the strikers would make the giver liable to contempt of court. The government stood ready to make even more drastic steps, it was indicated. Use of state and national troops and issuance of reserves for all roads were among the measures considered. Few of those named in the injunc- tion responded today gnd among those who were located, there was a general disinclination to discuss the injunction. Leaders were apparently waiting to see what the government was go- ing to do next. BOYS’' BAND PARADES ST. PAUL STREETS THIS AFTERNOON (By United' Prege) St. Paul, Sept. 2—The Bemidji Boy’s band, 75 strong, paraded down St. Paul strcets this afternoon en route to the state fair. Four motor busses and trucks arrived with the boys and their instruments last night. CLOVERLEAF VETERANS PARADE AT STATE FAIR At the Minnesota State Fair Open- ing Day, today, the first item on the entertainment program for the after- noon was a parade of the veterans who saw service in the 88th or Clo- verleaf division of the A. E. F. And when Major General Wijligm Weigel, who commanded the division in France, proudly reviewed his beys of his old outfit, before. his eyes pased not only.the men who swore by him in days of danger, but also- the colors of his old regiments, which at a ary reyiew at Gondrecourt, France, in March 1919, were deco- rated by General John J., Pershing, Comander -in-Chief of the American Expeditioniary forces, with ribpons indicating service not oply op the Mare defensive sector, but also ¢ Meuse-Argonne offensive, the suc i nded the great war.
