WEST BANKS
IN GOOD SHAPE
BANKERS DECLARE THERE is NO
SPECIAL NECESSITY FOR
CROP FUNDS.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The New York
Times today prints kilograms from
bankers in the west and south on the
question whether there is any special
need for crop funds. The specific
questions put to the bankers were:
is there a money crisis in the south,
as Senator Tillman asserts?
Are banks Withholding necessary
credit. as Secretary McAdoo asserts?
D you need special or unusual as
s%istance to move crops?
What is the situation?"
me answers received from bankers
In Minneapolis, st. Paul. Fargo and
Sioux alls are as follows:
f. W. Decker, president Northwest
ern National bank, Minneapolis: 'Tf
conditions and influence outside Of our
territory do lot materially change
from h they are at present 1 see
no reason why we should require more
than the usual assistance in moving
the crops, which are about normal.
There is absolutely not the slightest
evidence of banks Withholding credit
from business houses which are EMIT
led to 1t, nor have we had the slightest
intimation that the east does not in
tend to grant the same liberal credit
as usual, of course, in accordance with
their fairness"
E. Fl. Bailey, president First Nation
al bank. st. Paul: "Western banks
are in an exceptionally strong position
to facilitate crop moving. Banks CON
tinue to care for customers legitimate
business needs. No indications here
that eastern banks are disposed 10
withhold usual credit accommodation
to western clients. We believe banks
in financial centers are endeavoring to
provide in the usual course for promnt
movement of the crops to the mar
kets.'
E. j. Wiser, president Of First Ma
tional bank, Fargo, N. D.: Money is
very easy with us, and we are buying
commercial paper at this time, and will
need no assistance during the crop
movement time. We have no reason
to believe that eastern banks are re-
fusine credit where 1t is required for
legitimate purposes. Crop and money
situation very satisfactory in this To-
cality."
w. E. Stevens. president of State
Bank & Trust Co, Sioux Falls, s. D.:
Bank of this state need no special
assistance this year to move the crops
n are not. withholding credit from
legitimate business. We have no means
of knowing whether the east is with
holding credit from this section. be-
cause we are not borrowers, and are
of the opinion that few banks or indi-
viduals from this section are borrow
ing in the east"

field about 8 o'clock at night, coming
from the south end of the BrOtherton
field to rejoin the brigade, we having
been assigned to assist General Pal

agreeable day. The left Of our brigade
rested on the Lafayette road in the
edge Of the woods north Of Poe field.
I'VE held this position until we were
ordered to reform our line, about 3
o'clock, when we were placed on the
south side of Kelley field, still facing
south; but the troops on our right and
left were swung so that it was called

ton until late in the afternoon when
we were ordered to break through the
confederate troops that had practical

was to bring up the rear Of u brig

the charge, his being the first to go
out and ours the last. When we had
gotten through the woods or the west
of Kelley field we marched uninter-
ruptedly to the head Of Mcfarland

ION account Of the activity and per-
haps by the use Of my authority as
ranking officer, two boxes Of ammuni-

the Kelley field, one going to the 68th

Col. George w. Steele, governor Of

was. the ranking officer of the 101st

field, having been ordered to the relief
of the brave General Brannan when he
was sorely pressed by the charging
~confederates on Snodgrass hill.

Auto Stolen.

Pembina, N: D., Aug. 5.-A man with
a touring car stopped in this city for
repairs and gasoline. He had come
from across the line and on his way
over from Emerson he picked up a
man who was walking. He told this
man that he lived at Pembina, but on
arriving did not seem to know any
thing about the city. While on the
way over, he changed the license num-
per from a Manitoba sign to one from
Wisconsin which he had along. He
ran past the custom house without
reporting. The starting apparatus was
out or order on the car, but he would
not stop to have it fixed, but showed
the car ahead until it started and then
went south alone, and would not tell
his destination. These matters did not

once more the mischievous activities or
the Industrial Workers of the World are
in evidence, and this time with tragic
results. At Ipswich, Mass, this organi-
cation has for a number of weeks been
conducting strike among the operatives
of the hosiery mills. leading n large squad
of foreigners out of the works in support
of a demand for higher wages. The
places of the strikers were filled with
English speaking operatives, and alto
gether the strike was failure. Enraged,
apparently, by this lack of success, the
leaders of the organization at Ipswich
undertook to compel the non-strikers to
leave their looms. and yesterday as they
emerged from the mills at the close Of
the day they were met by large squad
of pickets. who hustled them severely.
This was not a case OF argument in
an effort to persuade men and women by
peaceful means to leave their tasks, but
savage onset designed to brighten the
workers Policemen detailed to guard
the workers tried to stop the rush. and a
riot ensued which, lasting only five min
utes, nevertheless caused the death of an
innocent bystander and the serious
wounding Of seven other persons.
The efforts Of the ]. w. w. to domi-
nate American labor have gone far
enough to stamp the organization as a
most dangerous force. 1t aims not so
