FARM LABORERS WIN.
Indiana Melon Growers Are Forced
by the Union to Accede to
Their Employer Terms.

indianapolis, Ind, July 2S.-The
first contest between the farmers and
farm laborers' union, which was re-
Gently organized in southern Indiana,
took place Friday and was settled Sat-
urday by conceding the demands of
the strikers. The fact that it was the
first contest of the kind in the state
caused great interest to center in its
result, and all the farmers of the Sec
ton were interested parties. The
strike took place on the farm Of Paul
Rose, one of the largest watermelon
growers in the United States, and the
strikers were the men engaged in pick
ing and hauling them to the railway
station. The price has usually ranged
from rs cents to one dollar per day, but
the union raised the price to $1.5O. Mr..
Rose refused to grant the advance and
the men stopped work. The farm
owner tried to hire men in adjoining
counties. and offered the union price,
then raised it to $1.75 and finally two
dollars, but could not hire any men
because their employment meant the
disseminating of the services of the
men who had struck. Seeing that it
was impossible to hire men, the
unions terms were acceded to and the
melon pickers and haulers returned to
work

GREAT DROUGHT BROKEN.
A BountifuI supply of Rain Betters
Conditions In the Stricken Area
Hope for Late Crops.

Chicago, July 29.--Kansas, NeDras-
ka, Missouri and illinois all report
the breaking of the long hot spell
and rains that are expected to re-
deem much of the damage done dur
ing the last month. In Kansas. par
ticularly, many places are rejoicing
over the relief. In Nebraska there
was a perfect deluge for a few hours
and then a steady fall, which did
much toward renewing the whitening
crops and pastures. In Missouri rain
is reported at many places, but it is
feared that it has come too late to
help the corn crop, though other
| crops and stock are being greatly
benefited. The high temperatures
still prevail at many points and es-
pecially in the Ohio valley. In all
the middle west the heat promises to
continue, but the rain has done much
good. All the points which a week
ago were suffering most from the
heat are now reporting rain. The
most cheerful news is from Topeka.
Washington, July 20. = Sundays
weather bureau advices from the
great corn belt were the most en-
couraging that has come to hand for
the past 40 days, showing in the opin-
ion of the forecasters that the great
drought has been broken by gen.
eral visitation of showers in many
portions of that section, and with n
prospect of their continuation to-day.
Coincident with the fall of rain has
come reduced temperatures. With
few exceptions, the temperatures re-
ported were not abnormally high, no
maXimums of 100 degrees being re-
ported. West of the Mississippi river
they were generally in the neighbor-
hood of 90 degrees. The forecasters,
while not making any specific predic-
tions as to the effect of the rain on
the crops, express the opinion that
all those crops which have not been
irreparably ruined will be benefited
by the breaking of the drought. The
late crops naturally will be helped
the most The reports show that
showers were quite general in the
corn belt.
Topeka, Kan, July 20. = Copious
rains nave IdlltH throughput huHSdS.
All along the line of the Santa Fe,
far out to the western part of the
state, there were generous supplies

inches of rain fell Sunday, commence
ing early in the morning and contin-
uing all the afternoon. This makes
over four inches in the past three
days. To-day the farmers of the
state will begin replanting their vege-
tables and will plant immense guam
titles of turnips, kaffir corn and sor-
ghum for forage. The ground isin ex-
cellent condition for these products
