North Dakota war workers will have an oppor- tunity to obtain a fund of first hand information on the war and what Uncle Sam and our allies are doing to win it in the war council called for Bis- marek next Monday and Tuesday by the national council of defense. There are coming to this con- ference not only prominent representatives of the American government, but distinguished emi: of our foremost allies—Great Britain and France. | The war has only begun, so far as America is concerned. France and Great Britain, with their three and one-half years’ experience, have much to tell that we should be anxious to hear. North Dakota is so fortunately situated as to have seen few of the first effeets of war. We have suffered from none of the fuel or food famines nor the labor disturbances which have afflicted eastern tions. We have seen nothing of the problem of provisioning and munitioning and accoutering a great army, ex- cept from a great distance. | Some of the actualities of war will be brought) home to North Dakota through the war conference which opens next Monday. Only one coancil is held | in each state, and Bismarek is fortunate in being selected as the theatre for this important confer- ence in North Lakota. We may expect loyal, patri- otic workers in the numerous war causes from every county in the union, and the Capital City will make | adequate provision for their entertainment. . The time is too short to admit of the North Da- kota state council of defense extending a direct in- vitation to all the organizations whom it would see | represented here. <A general invitation has been} extended, however, through the several chairmen which the council has wisely selected, and it is urged that everyone who is interested in seeing America win this great struggle come to Bismarek for at Jeast one of the two days if it is possible for them to make the sacrifice. The press’ will give all possible publicity results of the North Dakota war cow obtain the utmost inspiration from the conference it is essential that one be present in person. GO AFTER THEM! Attorney General Gregory and Chairman Hurley couldn’t be set at more important work, Mr. Pr dent, than investigating the scandalous charges against that Hog Island shipbuilding plant, and, if the charges are substantiated, somebody ought to go to jail. Fact is, there has been a strong stench about that plant from the beginning, and if the government has not, indeed, been milked to the limit, it will be more of a natural wonder than Mammoth Cave, the Natural Bridge, Yellowstone Geysers or any other of our wonders. The American International corporation had as directors Vanderlip, Ogden Armour, Wm. E. Corey, Pierre Dupont, Otto Kahn, Perey Rockefeller, Charles Stene of Stone & Webster, and other finan- ciers and public franchise holders. There were poli- tical, business and money standing and pull in that directorate to beat four aces, but it didn’t reek with talent for shipbuilding; and so, upon getting the contract, the A. I. C. turned the work over to the American International Shipbuilding corporation, with the above named patriots largely composing its directorate. The scheme is so beautiful and slick that we pause to call particular attention to it. Should the gov- ernment want.to build millions of golden harps for celestial use in the hereafter, put your pull, or your standing in your satchel and go down to Washing- ton a rip-roaring patriot, though you may not be , able to tell a heavenly harp from a hand-organ. You yell patriotism like blazes, change your name to the American International Harp-building corpor- ation, and the rest is done for you. To resume: By its contract with the A. I. C. the government agreed to furnish practically un- limited funds to the A. I. C., which was merely the financing company for the A. I. S. ©. On its part the A. I.C., god-papa and mamma of the A. I. S. C., undertook to spend Unele Sam’s money without profit in the construction of a shipbuilding yard * which should. have 50 ways and which should in 22! months from Sept. 3, 1917, deliver 120 iron ships. The cost of the ships was estimated at 165 mill- ion dollars, on which the A: I. C. is to get five per cent, Admiral Bowles explained, for ‘‘the know how.”’ It ‘was estimated the shipbuilding plant would cost 21 million dollars. Much more than that amount has already been spent, and not a keel is laid, nor is the yard:anywhere near ready. It is now estimated the plant will cost nearer,50 million dollars. The government is pledged to pay for everything Jand, materials, salaries, wages for the construc- tion of ships, shops, hospitals and everything that goes to making a shipbuilding plant. The A. I. C. undertook to spend the money ‘‘without profit.’’ __ What happened, according to testimony before the senate commerce committee, was that Stone & ON t (Charlie Stone. of the directorate) force were put on the government pay roll at increased aries | |the United States. government for the purpose of jthe handling ef the pictures in this state, and the | | was selected as the most suitable day for the show- | ing in this city. than that for which they’re going to stretch Bolo Pasha’s neck.

Poland, as is customary.” WAR PICTURES AND THE SABBATH. When, at the time of the showing of the war pic tures on a Sunday three weeks ago it became known that an effort was being made, or was to be made, to invoke the law in order to prevent the exhibition of similar pictures undcr similar conditions on future Sundays, a great many people received that infor- |mation, at first with incredulity, and then with amazement. . These pictures, the cause in which they were shown, and the condition; surrounding the showing, were so far removed in most minds from all thought of entertainment that a large number of citizens found it difficult to establish a connec- tion between the showing of these pictures and the state law against Sunday amusements. .Formal no- tice having been given that further showing, if at- tempted, would be stopp:d Ly leval process or that legal means would be ued to punish those respon- sible for the showing, the matter became one of public concern, and it has received its share of public attention. These pictures are issued under the authority of stimulating patriotic thought, and of familiarizing the people at home with the work and the surround- ings of our soldiers in camp and in the field. It is the desire of the government that they be seen by a5 many people as possible, and that the cost of produc- ing and distributing them be distributed in such man- ner that this activity will uot akserb public funds which are needed tor ot purposes. The State Council of Defense has assumed rezponsibility for work of handling of the pictures in Grand Forks has been delegated to the executive committce of the Home Loyalty league... All of this has been fully set forth in the statement made by the committee a week ago, together with the reasons why Sunday The committee has been advised that the showing of these pictures on Sunday will not be a violavion of the state law, and relies on that advice. Attorney General Langer appears to be the contrary opinion, but Mr, Langer’s guesses as to what is legal and what is not, have been of such character in the past that one is disposed to look for some corroboration be- fore accepting his opinion on a dizputed question. This question, however, is one which involves more than a strict construction of the letter of the law. In his very forceful discussion of the subject Colonel | McVey has called attention to the manifest absurd- ities which are still permitted to continue under | some statute books under the guise of law. The illustrations which he gave could have been multi- plied many times. There is reasonable warrant for the belief that the Sunday showing is not even a technicai violation of law... As to that, of course, we cannot be certain in the absence of a ruling by a court of proper juris. diction... Assuming that there is literal violation, if that fact is established in court, and the apvropriate orders are issued, the order must be obeyed, and the law, if not respected, must be observed... But by what process of reasoning can the appeal to law, which is an appeal to force, be justified in this par- ticular case... The Herald dissents most emphatical- ly from the view that their is any parallel between whatever illegality there may be in the showing of these pictures and the illegal acts committed, for in- stance, by Germany in this war. . .In the showing of | the pictures on any day of the week the rights of no individual are attacked, the freedom of no indivi- dual is in no manner abriged... There is no disturb- ance of the public peace .. No person is deprived of his property of his freedom. of action... There is no compulsion in the matter. .. Those who, from cons- cientious reasons, do not wish to attend are not required to do so... There is no possible violation except by a bare possibility of 2 technicality in a law | which was not and could not have been intended to apply to such a case as this. On the other hand, the purpose, and the sole pur- Pose of showing of these pictures is a constructive cne, entirely in accord with the spirit of the nation and with the principles of the Christian religion. .. We are seeking, through the use of the military force of the nation, to accomplish certain things. We are trying to overthrow the forces of evil which are represented in the efforts of an ambitious auto- cracy to impose its rule upon the world... We are engaged in a war as holy as any that human beings ever undertcok... There is needed in that war the unity of effort and the concentration of spirit, not merely of men, who bear arms, but whole peoples. These pictures have been prepared for the purpose of bringing to the people information and inspiration and they constitute a means for the solidification of Deus sentiment and the increase of its effective- SB... _ The Herald is convinced that no better or more fit- ting use could be made of a portion of the Christian Sabbath than the holding of meetings at which the showing of these pictures will be a conspicuous fea- ture... On that point there is room for difference that the general manager's salary was tooted m_ $18,000, to $25,000; that, land that: had: gone pea pe for $1,000 per acre was put’ on Uncle Sam 000, andgthat.the whole job is going on-ineffi- id extravagantly. Cer it is that the government has been d_ anelicdetuated ini the! vital matter: of! time, This is a crime, but little jess vi fc of opinion... But it does seem that under all circum- stances the suppression of the Sunday showing by force, if that is to be attempted, will be a fe rion tothe dark ‘when men were required their acts, but their BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUN: dard, and ne thought iti would be a Privates watching the fire: ‘ MEN WELL PAID MORRIS CLAIMS Young Head of Big Packing Com- pany Says Wages Compare With Other Industries Chicago, Ill, Feb. 20—Nelson Mor- ris, the 26-year-old chairman of the} board of directors of Morris & Co.) who was the principal witness ‘before’ the stockyards wage arbitration pro-| ceedings yesterday denied the charge of organized labor that packing house; employes are not paid a fair living wage. He said the packers paid as high wages as men of the same class received in other industries and that living conditions in the district ad- jacent to the stockyardsvare not near- ly as bad as pictured:-by witnesses called’ by representatives of the em- ployes. de said he favored equal pay for| men and women performing the same | amount of work. The ten-hour day, he-said, was bet. ter suited to the need of meat pac ing industry than the eight-hour stan- inistake to change the-system at pres: ent while the country is at war.

Condon for. the packers, made the statement that the| government survey of .the cost of keeping a family of five which amounts to $1,288 a year and used by the employers’ side at, the hearing, was based on the price of rent, food and clothing in Washington, D.

HOLLANDER HAD NICE TRADE IN FOREIGN , BONDS Man Arrested for Trading With Enemy Earned Big Commis- sion on Redemptions An Atlantic Port, Feb. 20—Johan- nes Hendrik Werkhoven, assistant! purser on the Holland American liner Nieuw Amsterdam, was arrested yes- terday under the rading with he ene-| my act, and is said to have confessed that he had brought to this country for redemption bonds and _ coupons owned in Europe. He! was held in| $25,000 bail for further examination. Army intelligence officers have been puzzled as to the manner in which! securities known to belong to Ger-| mans residing abroad have been: brought to the United States. and/ converted into cash. The arrest of, Werkhoven, who was trapped while negotiating the sale of a $500 United Fruit company bond, is: believed to clear up the mystery. : Werkhoven is said to have admitted that since the outbreak of the war he has been making large profits by bringing to this country and cashing bonds and coupons which he said were owned by “friends in Holland.” He de- nied having had any dealings with Germans and said the, bond he tried to sell today was obtained from Cor- nelius ‘Nederhooven, a Hollander, at Rotterdam. t Little Jake Got John L.’s Goat’ with Made Money| Detroit, Feb. 20.—The death of oJhn| L, Sullivan has recafled a number of, vivid incidents to old timers among Detroit's sporting fraternity, for this city used to be one’of John: ing grounds, But ofall the great pugilist’s doings the favorite seems to, be one which recounts his encounter with a “bant- ; ¢ ‘Gotta match, Herb?”’ be wealthy although in later years he was reduced almost to poverty. “Little Jake” was widely known as a keen follower of sport events, a lov- er of fair play and a student of the art of spectacular self-advertising. In Detroit one day he met Sullivan in the bar room of the famous Russell House, since destroyed. Sullivan, with a crowd around him, was roar- ing a welcome to his friends. “Little Jake” stepped into the bar room un- noticed. John L. threw a fifty dollar bill on the bar and, in a booming voice, urged those about him to “drink up.” It did not take long for the supplies to disappear and just when the party was about to break up, a piping voice, coming seemingly from the floor, squeaked : “Now everybody, including Sullivan must have a drink on me.” * Sullivan looked down at the midget and smiled. Everybody drank. Then “Little Jake” took a sheet of curren- cy from his pocket. The money was fresh from the mint and the sheet contained four one hundred dollar bills. “Little Jake” whipped out his fountain pen, signed one of the bills, cut it from the sheet and tossed it on the bar. “Now, go as far as you like,” said. Sullivan seemed dazed. The feat} was new to him. He picked “Little Jake” up and deposited him on the he rr, “Now, little fellow, tell me how you can make money and why I can’t.” The Saginaw mite explained that it was the privilege of a national bank president to sign bank notes, thus put- ting the money into circulation, and the fighter left the hotel in a thought- ful mood. BADGER SOLONS HEAR GOVERNOR Philipp Promises to Select Men of Tried Ability and Patriot. ism for Senate Madison, Wis,, Feb. 20—The Wis- consin legislature convened in special session yesterday on call of Governor Philipp. Among resolutions introduced was one suggesting that it was the “duty of the exectuive to name or to issue writs for a special election to fill the vacancy of the United States senater” and requesting the governor to do so. It was referred to the judi- ciary committee. The joint session convened in the afternoon to hear Governor Philipp’s message. .The message urged a bond issue of $1,000,000 at four and one- half per cent to raise funds and ex- plained the plan for gathering the sol- dier vote was to send a state represen- tative where more than two hundred citizens gather, using envelopes where less are assembled. Explaining the sedition bill, Gover- nor Philipp’ declared there should be no legislation which attempts to inter- fere with the guaranted right of free speech or the freedom of the press. Ho, would only punish interference with the functions of the state in car- rying out the wishes of the federal government. , Much interest was taken in the gov- ernor’s explanation of the request for a senatorial appointment. “If the right to fill the vacancy. tem- porarily is given me,” he declared, “l shall select a man of tried ability‘and patriotism. My willingness to talte you gentlemen of the legislature into my confidence in. making the selection should convince you that I have no selfish purpose. My thought is to serve the people of the state and na-! tion and’ for the enlightenment of those who have been made to. believe ft have been controlled by desire for personal or political advancement, I want to say that I am not a candidate for the senate, and have no thought of being; one.” i pis iain aah General Electric Company Shu!s ~~ .Dowa Factories Weshington, $99 2) —Th.

The movement was the widest on the upswing of any session thus far this year, and many new high levels were established for that period, In a number of instances gains extended from 10 to 20 points over maximums of the early days of the month. Little attention seemed to be paid to foreign affairs, although bankers remained downtown after the mar- ket’s close for a line on the British premier’s latest address. Develop: ments at Washington reecived favor- able interpretation, in the main. ully three-fourths of the day’s turnover of 895,000 shares was repre- sented by United States steel and as-| sociated industrials, equipments and motors, United States steel’s extreme advance of 13-8 was largely cancelled at the end, but elsewhere gross gains of 2 to points were generally re- tained. Motor shares were the chief feat- ures of’ the last hour, Studedvaker, Chandler and Genoral Motors coming forward when more representative stocks were yielding to selling pres- sure. The one important railway return, that of Atchison for December, was in line with recent exhibits, showing a net increase of almost $800,000.

Corn closed steady, %@%c net higher, with March $1.27% and May $1.26%. Oats gained 3% @3% to 3%c up. Provisions fin- ished at an advance of 10 to d0c. ‘Both corn and oats, especially oats, responded quickly to word that the senate agricultural committee at Washington had favorably reported the Gore resolution. Enhancement in the value of corn futures, however, ‘was relatively small owing to the fact that corn trading has been greatly re- stricted under prevailing exchange regulations and in particular the maxi- mum price allowed, $1.28 a bushel. Un- favorable weather and the readiness with which industries absorbed avail- able supplies gave firmness to corn before news came of the latest step regarding wheat. Aggressive buying, chiefly on’ the part of houses, with eastern connec- tion, carried oats far above any pre- . vious record this season, Heavy profit taking sales took place, but did litfle to check the bulge. In the provision market, announce- ment that the food administration had asked for tenders of meats and lard, March shipment, was much more than an offset for weakness of the price of hogs.
