BEHIST Federation of Labor Orders Ship. builders to Return to f Their Work, STRIKES DISCOURAGED ~ UNTIL AFTER THE WAR Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 14.—President Wilson's plea to labor to maintain un- hindered all the processes of labor un- til Germany has been beaten received its first answer yesterday when the building trades in the American Fed- eration of Labor ordered the discon- tinuance of all strikes on government work under its jurisdiction. This action after arrangements had been made for a committee of the general presidents of the Building Trades to meet at Washington and confer with President Wilson or other government officials for the readjust- ment of existing difficulties, While the immediate result of the department’s movement will affect only strikes on buildings that are be-{ ing ‘erected for shipbuilding or the mnaufacture of war munitions, it was regarded as a precedent for the ad- justment of all difficulties that might delay, the prosecution of the govern- ment’s war work plans. The resolu- tion calls for the meeting of general presidents at Washington at the earli- est possible moment. Today’s session of the 37th annual convention of the federation was brief. The usual batch of resolutions was received and referred to committees. Among them was one calling upon the legislative committee to obtain the en- actment of legislation that will extend the eight hour to all classes of rail- way workers. President Highly Pleased. President Wilson tonight expressed by the Building Trades council in de- claring off strikes. His message, ad- dressed to President Donlin, reads: “Your telegram has cheered me very much, and I hope you will con- vey my sincere thanks and apprecia- tion to those associated with you in the patriotic action of which you give me information. You may be sure there will be all possible co-operation at this end.” ——————_ FRIVOLOUS USE OF FOOD AND SWEETS BARRED BY BOARD San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 14.— Throwing of rice at weddings, and of candy hearts at birthdays and all other “frivolous” uses of foods and sweets is against the rulings of the policy of the national food administration, according to an an- nouncement received by H. Clay Miller, an executive i nthe federal food administration bureau in Cali- fornia. s LANGER TAKES DOCTOR TO SEE EUGENE WALL (Continued from Page One) mer had brought in. Walla produced seven dealers’ applications and one car registration application and the fees for the same, totaling $108, and Kilmer turned these in to Secretary ‘of State Hall. This was business which Kilmer had brought in earlier in the month. Kilmer did not prove a satisfactory witness for the state, and the assist: ant attorney general craved the court’s permission to cross examine his own witness. Stutsman, for the defense, objected to the state's im- peachment of its own witnesses, de- claring Brennan had.no right to call a witness to the stand and then seek to.prove him a perjurer, and after » HOW YOU HELP PAY FOR THE WAR Everybody must help pay for the war against kaiserism, rich man, poor man, married and single.

And everything otherwise taxed or untaxed | is taxed 3 per cent on freight charge. some discussion, Brennan dropped his plan of cross-examining Kilmer. Kilmer's failure to remember all of the parties to an automobile ride to “Slim Jim's,” in the Bottoms, was the cause of the state's dissatisfaction. E. Y. Lahr, cashier. of the First Guaranty State bank of Bismarck, stated positively that Hall had made no loans and cashed no $500 checks at that institution during the last 30] days. Vesperman on Stand. E. H. L. Vesperman, manager of the Bismarck office of the Western Union,! after having heen commanded by the court to reveal office secrets of his company, identified. a telegram which the secretary of state had sent to the home office of an insurance company at Omaha, Neb. presumably with a view to obtaining money. E. A. Thor- berg of the state examiner's office again was called to the stand, and Miss Dorothy Schnecker of the secre- | tary of state’s office testified without adding any material evidence. The hearing will be resumed tomor- row forenoon. E. M. Walla, who w not well enough to take the stand to- day, will, it is understood, appear, waive his constitutional rights, and give evidence as a witness for the) state. His testimony is expected to prove the most interesting of the hearing. He is jointly charged with his chief with the embezzlement of automobile registration funds and has been identified by other witnesses with the scurry for financial assist- ance which seems to have been made during the week of Oct. 23-30. Assist- ant Attorney General Daniel V. Bren- nan admitted this eevning that ‘Walla has consented to appear as a witness for the state, but declared this would not alter the state’s determination to arraign ‘Walla on the offense original- ly charged. was scheduled for Wednesday, but FORTY SACKS OF HAIL MATTER RELATING TO SECOND ORAFT DETAILS Adjutant General's Office Being | Flooded with Instructions and Forms Forty sacks of mail matter con- taining blank forms and instructions for the second draft were delivered to the adjutant general’s office to- day.

For a baseball team to meet a fu- neral on the way to the game means that they will win; if they meet a load of barrels, they will lose. It is considered unlucky for a ball! player to meet a red-haired woman or a clergyman on his way to the game. Another sign of bad luck is to talk with a girl who has a cast in her eye. It is satd that to kiss her will remove the hoodoo. To allow a stranger to sit on the players’ bench is to invite bad luck. Some teams will not allow all the players to sit down together. Another way to invite a hoodoo ts to allow a strange hand to touch the bat. It is considered a sign of bad luck if a dog crosses the diamond he- \ Baseballs must never be put in al bat bag or bad luck will result. It is unlucky to step on the home plate. ex- cept, of course, when by so doing it New uniforms are looked upon’ as hoodoo, Ball players believe it is un- lucky while traveling to sleep with the feet pointing toward their destina- tion.
