Labor ’ DISPATCH. from Chi- cago indicates that the North Dakota bond sell- ing eampaign is on in earnest. The people’s forces are mobilizing! .Not even the big financiers, who have boycotted the bonds because their sale will enable the farmers’ pro- gram to be carried out, can now claim the issue is even questionable. For Wood & Oakley, a firm of Chicago bond lawyers, whose opinions on" se- curities are accepted as undisputed facts by everybody in" the bond and investment business, have issued a formal, written opinion holding the Real Estate Series A bonds of the state were legally issued by the indus- trial commission, which had lawful authority to issue them, and that the bonds are “valid and legally binding upon the state of North Dakota, and are a general obligation of the state.” This settles all questions of legality and constitutionality and means that the final authorities in the bond mar- ket have vouched for the fact that the whole faith and credit of the state is back of the issue. It follows, of course, that interest and principal on the bonds must be paid when due, no matter what administration is in power in the state, and that thus they are a safe investment. VO VOLUNTEER WORKERS PUSH THE SALE Thousands of volunteer sales agen- cies for marketing the bonds, which were boycotted by investment bank- ers, will soon be in active operation in every important center throughout the country. Carl D. Thompson of the Public Ownership League of America hea‘is the campaign among the labor organizations. Chicago is being organized for a $2,000,000 campaign. At a meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor on, May 20 a committee of 100 was form- ed, which may be increased to 500 or 1,000, the purpose of which is to can- vass every labor union, pregressive organization and individual ‘in the city. Over 30 unions were represented in Guess They’ll Sell the Bonds! " Progress of Sale Direct to Progressive People Reported— - resolutions calling upon every -union “seum and a committee, Helps this initial meeting. The Illinois State Federation of Labor was repre- sented by its president, John Walker, who made a stirring address. Ar- rangements were made to hold a gen- eral meeting every Friday night until the $2,000,000 quota is sold. The main speaker was William Lemke, attorney general of North Dakota, who explained the North Da- kota industrial program and the bonds that are being issued for their promo- tion. BONDS INDORSED IN MISSOURI The state convention of the Mis- souri Federation of Labor listened to the proposition of the people of North Dakota by its special representative, °| Carl D. Thompson, at its session last week and unanimously indorsed the bonds. The convention passed strong in the state to do its utmost in the purchase of these bopds and in co- operating with the officials having in charge the marketing of them. A strong committee was appointed to push the matter. s At the regular meeting of the Mil- waukee Federated Trades council on May 18, Mr. Thompson presented the matter. The council immediately adopted ringing resolutions and in- structed its secretary to.address a let- ter to every affiliated union in the - city, giving full particulars ‘and urg- ing the purchase of the bonds.; Meanwhile the represenfatives of the 3,000 railroad workers, members of the Plumb Plan league and others are arranging for a thorough canvass of that group of workers. On the following evening a general meeting was held at the public mu- of which Charles B. Whitnall was made chair- man and Senator Herman Schultz sec- retary, was selected to have general charge of the work of the canvass in Milwaukee. Mr. Whitnall is the mov- ing force in the Commonwealth Mu- tual Savings bank, a /co-operative bank. with over $600,000 assets, and thus the North Dakota bond sale drive has another bank behind it. .
