On this date in Minnesota History: June 5

June 5, 1918 - An order making idleness a crime, punishable by imprisonment or fine was adopted by the State Public Safety commission.

The order is based on the necessity of utilizing the maximum manpower toward the prosecution of the war and particularly to provide labor to take the places  of men who have left food production and other civilian occupations to enlist in military service.

“Idleness is Made a Crime in Minnesota”; June 05, 1918; p. 1
