HANDSOME EDITIONS.
Labor Papers Showed Up Handsomely

Labor Papers Showed Up Handsomely
in Labor Day Editions.
Judging from appearances the labor
press of the country is coming into
its own A few years ago the aver
age labor editor was content if he
could get his paper out at all; now
he has to celebrate every anniversary
with special edition. And we say
without fear of successful ccntradic
something like a quarter of century
in the newspaper businessmen labor
the handsomest spe-
cial editions We have ever seen have
been those of labor papers during the
past three or four years. This year
seemed an especially good one for the
~b'hoys," for the Labor Day editions
were numerous and mighty good to
look upon. They showed that the
labor papers are gaining in popu-
larity as advertising mediums, and
that the workers of the country are
realizing more and more the neces-
sity of supporting papers that will
give their side of the case to the
public. We would call especial at
tention to the following handsome
Labor Day issues:
The Worcester, Mas, Labor News,
twenty-four pages, on fine book pa
per, handsomely illustrated and full
of remunerative advertising. Des
Moines, Ia, Unionist, thirty-six pages,
well illustrated and full of the matter
that cheers the business Office; also
of matter that was of interest and
profit to the readers The Oklahoma
City, Okla, Labor Unit, which was in
keeping with the record of that young
state and its wide-awake unionists-
| Nothing finer in the way of a labor
paper ever came OFF the press. The
Pueblo, Colo, Industrial Review was
a credit to the Pittsburg of the west
and to its editor and publisher.
Printed in colors, well illustrated and
full of good stuff, the Review was a
pleasure to look at The Kansas City

GRAIN GROWERS IGNORANT
Wheat Gamblers Roast North Dakota
Farmers and Mix In Politics.

There was great meeting
of BOARD of trade members from
all parts Of this country and
Canada held in Chicago durin g
September. A meeting was
held i'm the Princess theatre on
Septem Der II and many notable
grain dealers addressed the
meeting. The Chicago Inter
Ocean, reporting this meeting,
stated that federal inspection
came in for condemnation.
The whole setiment of the
meeting voiced the animosity
of the elevator trust and grain
gamblers against the wheat
growers of this state. One
speaker, referring to the wheat
growers of North Dakota said:
This bill now before coner ress
emanates from a state which
hasn't a primary market. Its
business is intrastate trade.
The conditions in this state
are crude. The farmers are
i'm migrants and somewhat
ignorant. They do not do their
work we'll. Their wheat is
filled with foul stuff. But they
complain that they are docked
when the grain is inspected
and it's real grade ascertained.
They need tanning mills rather
than federal laws" Other
speakers handed it to Senator
McCumber's activity for federal
inspection. 1t is the result
they say, of the cry of lot of
farmers who would sell their
dirt for wheat. Loud applause
greeted the statement that
McCumber would be forced
out of the United States senate.
The society of equity feels
proud of the contemplate man
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1909-10-15

ner in which it is chacterized
by the gamblers, who toll
not neither do they spin,"
who make their millions from
the toll of the farmers, not by
legitimate methods, but by cir
culating false reports manipu
lating prices by means of
options, marking down prices
thereby compelling the wheat
grower to sell for less than the
cost of production.
The activity of the society
of equity, in determining to
have enacted a law which will
establish regular grades for
grain, regulate weighing, and
dockages, so that every one
will get square deal, both the
seller and the buyer, does not
seem to please the grain gamb
lers. It does seem strange that
anyone should object to having
the grain business conducted
in legitimate manner. The
manner of handling, grading,
weighing and docking of grain,
should be SO conducted, that
the system will be free from
suspicion, of carelessness or
dishonesty.

WIN. THOMPSON IS KILLED
Brother to Mrs. J. n. Kirk Meets 40.
cidentaI Death In Alberta.

William Thompson, a broth
err to Mrs. John H. Kirk and
we'll known in this city, was
accidentally killed at Spring
Coulee, Alberta. A Lethbridge
newspaper gives the following g
account:
The particulars of the
death of William Thompson in
the Alberta Pacific company 8
elevator at Spring Coulee are
that he was dumping a load of
wheat but there was some
difficulty in getting the end
gate off the wagon. He got
down behind the load to loosen
it. The wheat came out with a
rush and carried him down in
to the pit.
A, Peterson, who was in
charge of the elevator, saw him
go and Immediately went down
to try to get him out, sending
the teamster for help. Four
men were soon working to get
him out but were unable to do
so until the wheat had been re-
moved bv elevating it. It was
five minutes before they got
him free. A doctor was called
at once but he said life was
extinct and that death had
come in less than two minutes
after he had gone into the pit. -
The young man was but
twenty-five years of age.
