LATE.
indications Are That Spring Work
Will Be Delayed Two Weeks Behind
Last Years Beginning Barley and
Flax Take Place Of Wheat.

Minneapolis, April 19.-Letters from
North Dakota points to Chamber OF
Commerce firms Indicate that the
spring farm work will this year run
from ten days to two weeks behind last
year at the beginning The weather
has been so cool that the break up has
not been SO general as Is usually the
case at this time.
1t is the opinion of a majority of the
writer's In the country that this will
make no difference, that the crops will
be put in to cover an acreage consid-
erably larger and that prospects will
be additionally favorable because of the
snow that still covers the ground In
some places, which, while delaying
work at present Will afford valuable
moisture later
A. late season always operates for
the extension of the acreage In coarse
grains Barley and flax are likely to
cover q larger area this year. for while
wheat cannot be sown to best advan-
tage IL the season is too backward, the
coarse grains that mature quickly may
be put in up TO May Is with a reas-

wen.
The situation therefore, at this time
is that the northwest will have a larger
grain acreage than ever, with moisture
conditions usually favorable. but that
spring wheat will not be seeded more
extensively, but may even fall off
little In area covered.

passed through Minneapolis yesterday

vacation in the south, taken after the

While the season is somewhat late

full and amicable adjustment of ques-
lions between employer and employee
through report which comes to us
from Lincoln, Neb. In that town the
printers were under a four-year con-
tract, two years of which had yet to
expire. The agreement provided for
a nine-hOur day at the specified scale,
which was not to be changed with
out mutual consent, the question of
hours being left open to discussion
by either side. Without any threat
of strike, without, indeed, the slight
est unpleasantness on either side, the
printers of that community have been
able to show their employers that an
eight-hour day ought to prevail. This
is considerable of a performance and
one which reflects very honorably on
the directing minds of Lincoln Typo

on the body of it's membership St.

them. However they get the ten-hour
day for all platform men. Platform

get 81 cents an hour the first year and
80 cents an hour the second year.
After that they get the maximum OF
SO cents an hour. This is an increase
of about 81 per cent. Station shopmen
will get $3.50 per day, operators from
500 to $1O6 month, linemen foremen
$3.50 and linemen $500 day, car barn

prevail for all except platform men.
