The event was in charge of the Fine Arts Elub -of Fargo and was the central - b eature of a genergl Shakesperean celebration held in the schools and colleges. The city put on gala attaire for the occasion ‘and welcomed hun- dreds of visitors. With the cooperation of business: houses, ‘the schools and colleges and clubs of the city, the Fine Arts club - was able to stage a pageant that more than lived up to the advance press notices. - It was an ambitious under- taking and it was carried out in a way_ that would have done credit to a much larger city. It was an artistic triumph without an incongruous detail. Unfriendly to Labor Pl Fargo Morning Publication is Denounced nion Men for Distortion of the News by . Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Ow- ing to the fact that the Fargo Courier- News has made many misstatements in connection with the mass meeting held by organized labor of Fargo on Sunday, April 30, and the further fact that .the editor of the Courier-News declined to correct such misstatements when asked to do so by a committee of members of organized labor repre- senting the mass meeting, the Fargo Trades and Labor Assembly at its session on Friday, May 5, adopted the enclosed resolutions. They are sent to you for publication so that the truth about this whole matter may be given to the people of Fargo and the state at large.- * “We would appreciate it very much if you will find space in your columns for the publication of these resolu- tions. - : . .

LABOR’S RESOLUTIONS .Following are the resolutions re- ferred to above: : Whereas, the last annual conven- tion of organized labor of the state of North Dakota recommended that- the: . board of directors of the State Feder-' ation of Labor devise some means of' affiliating organized lebor with some -organization of farmers; and ‘Whereas, the board of directors of : the -.State. Federation recommended all branches of organized labor to ' study the program of the farmers’ organization known as the Farmers’ Nonpartisan League with a view of affiliating with them at the polls for the purpose of electing men_to the state legislature who would advocate and wor! as a whole and : Whereas, the Trades and Labor As- sembly of Fargo in an effort to carry out the recommendation of the board -of directors of the State Federation of Labor -appointed a committee whose duties consisted of ascertaining the will of the rank and file of organized labor on the question of the affiliation of the two bodies, and Whereas, this ‘committee, in an honest effort to obtain- an expression of -all union men in the city, called a mass meeting at the Strand theater on Sunday even- _ing, April 80, and - % * Whereas, this committee, being de- sirous of having a representative of the - Fariners’ 'Nonpartisan League of 'its representatives to be present, mitted by the Farmers’ Nonpartisan sition, and News of Tuesday, May 2, in a full ~column front page article, gave a very thful and distorted account of this meeting, and = - & committee felt cal- r. and the common League as our guest, to Nonpartisan 7 editor of the Fargo Daily “ask the 2 ‘Qourier-News to retract the statement made, and Whereas, your cofilmittee»did draw state;nznt' of facts and through - hairman, Mr. S. Olson, presented =~ - to the editor in chief - ‘request that it be prin play and justice to ! for laws beneficial to labor : of all union men to meet .- - The pageant was many blocks long and : moved = through the ' principal streets. of Fargo and Moorhead. It consisted of floats regresenting the -various plays of Shakespeare, with ands, choruses, trumpeters, heralds -and other features depicting the life of Elizabethan times. The costuming was perfect and the floats carried . many of Fargo’s most prominent men and most beautiful women, arrayed in costumes of the period represented. The day was ideal in point ‘ of weather and the whole city turned out. The streets were lined with crowds. as the pageant moved by and the people enthusiastically expressed their ap- proval. The people of Fargo in put- ting on this event have set a standard in events of this kind that will long go unrivaled. . ju%t as it read without any alteration, an Whereas, the editor of the Courier- News has ignored the request of your committee and feeling that the unfair statement made in the Courier-News and the refusal of its editor to cor- rect this statement when requested, is an injustice; Therefore, be it 5 Resolved, that it is the sense of. or- ganized labor of the city of Fargo that the Courier-News and its editor in chief, Mr. L. T. Guild, have discredited organized labor in its effort to ‘bring about the cooperation of thé workers of the farms with the workers of the cities and that we have reason to ‘believe that the statement in the Courier-News above .mentioned has been detrimental to the plans on foot for the affilidtion of ‘organized ‘labor and-the Nonpartisan League and from the action of the .editor of the Cour- ML con : ¢ - ;ier-News in his.refusal to print'a cor- AR TRADE D BOR - T€ : L 3 GO 1‘}, D oD IABOR . believe: that ‘the Courier-News' is’ un- rection of the article we are forced to friendly to organized-labor; ‘and be it further = - Resolved, that a copy of these reso- lutions be sent to the Courier-News, a copy to the press of the city and a copy filed in the records of the Fargo Trades and Labor Assembly.

REFORM IS NEEDED < Yyl 3 Heed for a néw administration at - a rgo 1I;) rek, ~especially wi,th_'ref_eren:s handling of the funds rais by taxation of the citizens is set forth in a lengthy editorial in the James- ‘town Daily Alert, from which the fol- - lowing extract is taken: “The remedy should begin_at the 'bottpm, at the root of the trouble, and not expend itself in the utmost efforts to wring more dollars out of the taxpayers, to provide for expenses fixed by the legislature. “The only remedy. appears to be a new administration in charge of state affairs working with different ideals and purposes in its dealings with the people of the state, and a sane legis- lature.” CAN’T SUIT BOSSES There has -been severe criticism of the personality of the leadership of The Search-Light might, if it had the naming of the leadership have chosen partly a different leader- ship, but such choice would certainly have met with as much denunciation -as -the present leadership, and so would any other choice, except a choice which would have suited the political bosses, but not the farmers. The political bosses are not to be suited unless leaders are picked by them, or the leaders picked are sub- servient-to them.—FARGO SEARCH- LIGHT.
