demand until all have been discussed.
1t was stated today by member OF
the committee that he fully expects an

Good Order Commended.
The message is:
"The unanimous response of the anthra-

have conducted themselves since they
ceased work April are most gratifying.
Every colliery Is idle: each and every
man composing the great army of mine
workers. numbering 10000. ceased work.
They will remain idle until a settlement
of the wage scale is reached. The sue
cess of q movement of this kind, how
ever, depends largely upon the orderly
law-abiding manner in which each and
every man conducts himself.
The address warns the men to "be-
ware of any who counsel violence in
any FORM" and calls upon them to con

organization of farmers clubs.' said
Secretary Cooper. "The bulletin now

lions now formed and the many
which we hope to see formed this WIN
ter.
There has been a great deal of in
terest among the farmers in the plans
for clubs. The men on the farms be-
gin now to feel the need of some form
Of organization where they can come
together and arouse concerted action.
The farmers club will supply the
same need in country life that the
Commercial club supplies in the city.
There are about twenty-three organi-
cations now in the state. which are
alive and doing excellent work.
This winter the association will
make a special campaign to Interest

Threshing is we'll under way in
North Dakota again and indications
are that there will be very little un-
threshed grain after the middle of
this month. Many of the farmers and
especially in the western counties
where the bulk of the work remains,
are bending every effort to complete

refused to take time off to vote.
Very fed fields Of grain are still
uncut although a few fields are re-
ported in the northwestern counties.
The uncut grain is mostly flax. The
farmers in the southwestern portion
Of the state have been hurrying the
work by forming into cooperative
groups and going from farm to
another to help out with the work.
Light. showers fell in the Red river
valley yesterday. but We're not pre-

were the cause of some fears that the
work might again be delayed but the
most of the work has been completed
in the eastern portion of the state and
there is very little grain still uncared

Dakota has probably been re-
duced to less than twenty-five per cent
of the total crop and this will be ham
