MUCH SEEDING DONE.
Ground in South Dakota Found to
be i'm Excellent Condition.

Farmers in Huron from all parts of
the county on Saturday reported much
seeding already done. The ground is in
good condition, and the rain Friday night,
Saturday and Sunday, although not
heavy, was very beneficial, especially IN
settling the ground. 1t is difficult to
estimate the wheat or other small grain
acreage at this time, but from what
can be learned the wheat acreage will be
as large, and possibly slightly increased,
over last year.
Many farmers will use the macaroni
for from one-fourth to one-half the
acreage. There is an abundant supply
of good seed to be had, and farmers are
using the utmost caution in the selection
of seed-more than heretofore.

There was another break in labor
circles here today, when the members
of International Brothershood of
Painters, Paperhangers and Deoora-
tors, Local No. 938, employed on the
Claude apartment on State Circle,
were called off the job by the bust
ness agent of the local. The strike
was called on account of the steam
filters employed on the job who, with
the painters and paperhangers,
are practically the only mechanics en-
ployed on the building now. The
steam filters are said TO be non-union
men, but it had been given out and I'M
derstood by the painters that the men
while nom union workmen, were en-
ployers, or contractors and therefore
had the right TO work ON their own
contract. This seems not TO have
been the case and when the local
union learned this the strike was or
dered.

AND STILL ANOTHER STRIKE.
Carpenters Union Is Now In Diff
Guilty With Contractors On
State House.
IMPROVEMENTS TIED UP BY
LABOR TROUBLES.
The Local Carpenters Union Called
OFF All Its Men Employed
On The lob.

Once more the work ON the State
House annex and improvements is tied
up by labor unions troubles, the dis
affected union this time being the local
carpenter organization
No local carpenters were at work ON
the job today, having been called of,
it is claimed, as q result of a special
meeting of their body last night. The
exact cause of the strike seems hard
to locate, as there are conflicting stor.
les on this point. One account has IL
that Supervising Architect Esman
yesterday told Business Agent Wool
lev, of the local Carpenters Union,
that he must keep off the job, as inter
ference with the men was feared.
This. il is claimed, led TO the spe.
Cial meeting last night, at which the
carpenters are understood to have
passed a resolution to the effect that
the members would not work on any
job where the business agent was not
recognized and allowed to walk about
the works.
Mr.. Woolley stated today on the
other hand that the trouble was still
traoeable Co the strike several weeks
since over the employment of alleged
non union electricians by c. w.

pany had returned two men 60 the
work from Baltimore against whom
the kick of some time ago had been
registered Mr.. O. E Mooney. super
intendent for Walther q Co. today
denied this, saying that while he had
two new men ON the job, the strike
was due TO yesterdays difficulty be-
tween Woolley and Esman.
It is further asserted in other quar-
ters that the local carpenters are dis
satisfied because the contractor has
placed two Baltimore carpenters on
the job, and these are getting the Bal
timore scale of wages of $3. 80 per day,
while the Annapolis men get only the
local scale of So This would make
the strike due to the same complaint
which caused the men at the Naval
Academy job to walk out earlier this
week
Just how long the strike will last
and what tho outcome will be remains
TO be seen. as IL was intimated today
by local labor leader that efforts
would be made to get the marble work
ers employed in the State House TO
quit the job also. The grounds for this
call for assistance from the marble
workers would be that the two men
employed by Walther d 90 were non
union workers. This move if il
comes to anything in the end, will
take a day or two to materialize, as
the first step will have to be made
through he Baltimore marble workers

"There has been sn.much talk abeut

lieve it is better for people of the
wealthy class to help improve the
public schools than to spend their
money on yachts or ON private schools.
"Muoh has sbeen made of my adyo-
cacy of manual training. l propose to
advocate nothing radical. Simply
that the girls be taught TO sew, and
such useful things, and that the boys
be Taught TO use their hands, SO that
when they turn to trades later on their
hands will not be strangers to use.
As we change teachers, sas we will do
naturally in the course of time, want
to see that the new ones are of the best
and can teach those things which
should be taught and teach them " ell.
| believe also that we should have
languages taught Languages that will
come handy for boys in everyday life,
like German or Italian-not dead Ian
guages, but live ones. We can do
nothing unless we work together and
all help, and hope we all will"
