Farmers Start Early to Make Up for
Lack of HeIp,

Huron, S. D., July 16.-Weather con-
Citions the past week were very favor
able to crop developments of all kinds.
Rains We're copious and fairly well dis
tributed. Some sections received heavy
showers, and from all parts Of the
country come favorable reports Of fast
maturing crops. A few farmers have
commenced harvesting barley. and this
crop will be ready for the reaper
throughout the county by the end of
the present week; Indications are that
the small grain harvest, except wheat,
will come on about the same period,
and there being scarcity Of help
farmers will endeavor to push the work
q little in advance of It's real need.
Potatoes are fast maturing and the
crop promises one OF the best in many
years; corn is doing as well as could be
desired and the crop, generally speak
ing, is in fine condition, and has made
rapid growth the past few days.

TO the Western avenue freight house
and apply for their old positions, with
the understanding that they will ham
die all kinds of freight.
The action of President Curran and
the executive board followed the meet
ing Of the transfers. joint council last
night.
President Curran asked the council
to perform the part Of union men. He
was informed without delay by the
council that the teamsters would not.
join In sympathetic strike. This left
Cnrran and his men without support in
their refusal to receive the Kellogg.
company's freight. Curran immedi-
ately called the executive board to-
only would the terminal men be or
dered back, but that the freight hand
lers at all the warehouses would elm
structed to receive all freight that was
offered them. III
Teamsters Wouldn't Help.
The teamsters will not act as union
men should" said Curran, land I am
not going to sacrifice my men in their
support. The freight handlers will ham
die all freight hereafter no matter by
whom it may be offered"
The return of the freight handlers to
the Chicago terminal freight houses
will eliminate them from the present
struggle that is being waged against
the Kellogg company. 1t also will save
Curran from being enjoined by the fed
sral court from interfering with the
company's business, should Judge
Grosscup today decide to grant the ap-
p1ication for an order restraining the
freight handlers and teamsters from
endeavoring to hinder the delivery of
freight to the terminal company.
A bill Of complaint was filed in the
United States circuit court yesterday
BY the Chicago Terminal Transfer
Railroad company, asking the federal
courts intervention in the expected
freight handlers strike growing out
Of the labor troubles of the Kellogg
switchboard and Supply company.
The defendants are Lawrence ]. Cur

presidents respectively Of the Freight
Handlers, Truck Drivers and National
reamsters' unions. The defendants are
charged with conspiring to obstruct the
