DEMAND FOR LABOR
And the Available Harvest
Hands Are Now Organ
iZing a Union.
THEY ASK FOR BIG WAGES
(American News Service)

(American News Service)
Spokane, Wash, June 2S.-Taking
advantage of the shortage Of harvest
laborers in the Pacific Northwest,
where the grain crop this season is
estimated at more than 1OO.OO0.Ooo bu-
shells, several organizers, not affiliated
with any of the recognized labor bod
les. are working in eastern Washing
ton and Oregon to form a Farm
Hands Union, the purpose being to
raise the minimum wage OF laborers to
$3.50 for q day Of eight hours. The
scale for sack-sewers and forkers is
fixed at S. a day, while the pay Of
machine men will be increased from
$3.50 to 81 to from SO to $12 a day.
Efforts are being made by ranchers
and orchardists to bring men into the
country from eastern, central and
southern states, and in addition to
these it is likely that students from q
dozen or more colleges in various
parts of the country can be enlisted
to assist in harvesting the grain, grass
and fruit crops.
Several attempts have been made in
Washington and Oregon to organize
farm laborers, but so far they have not
been successful. However, the farmers
admit that if an organization could be
formed they would have to pay almost
any price demanded by the men.
Frank Trader, who appears to be
the head of the organizers, says it is
purposed to form a local union in ev-
cry grain district in Washington, Ore
, gon, Idaho and Montana. He declares
that the present scale, ranging from
$50 to 81 day, is not high enough.
Especially" he adds, eat time when
the farmers will be glad to pay more
rather than leave their crops in the
field. Fifty cents is the initiation fee
and we will have enough members at
the start to see the thing through.
Our members won't work with those
not identified with the organization"

They Pessed the Hole.

Lord Coleridge was once the victim
of the varsity men at Oxford. He
was addressing large audience there
when he used the phrase: I'VE must
remember not merely the beauty of the
individual colleges, but the beauty of
Oxford as a whole. And what a whole
it ISL
Hear, hear" yelled the varsity men,
eyes, what hole!" they groaned
"What .beastly hole!"
Then it dawned upon Lord Coleridge
that this was thing he would rather
have expressed otherwise-London Tit
Bits.

The room was full of it. The lamp in the
