HIGHER WAGES
BEING DEMANDED
Influence of the Industrial
Workers Responsible, Says
Local Employment Agents


The influence of the Industrial
Workers of the World, who have re-
Gently come into the limelight IN
North Dakota as a result of the Minot
riots is blamed by Grand Forks labor
agents for the scarcity of harvest
hands except at exhorbiant wages.
The agents state that there is a
tendency among the hands this year
to demand higher wages than ever
before, especially since the trouble
began in Minot.
1t is said that there were a large
number of men looking for work In
the city last week but that they all
disappeared Sunday. and the labor
agents believe that many of them are
heading for Minot.
So far as a be learned no I. w. w.
organizers have appeared as yet in
this section of the state, but the labor
agents believe that the disinclination
of the men to accept the usual wage
is due to the influence of this organi-
cation

QUESTION IS PUT
OVER FOR MONTH
Railroads Ask for Continu-
ance in Excess Baggage
Rate Proposition.
Times Special Service,

Fargo, II. D.. Aug. 13.-After the
United Commercial Travellers had pre-
sented their side of the excess-bag-
gage ate question. the railroads asked
for an extension Of time, claiming that
they were not prepared to answer at
this meeting. Consequently this ques-
ton. together with one or two others,
was continued until the September
meeting.
A. P. Fleckerstein presented the case
for the travelling men. He argued
that the rates from Grand Forks, Far
go and Wahpeton were in excess Of
those from East Grand Forks. Moor
head and Breckenridge. The alleged
excess rates are now sixteen per cent
of the regular fare per mile, he stated,
while in Wisconsin and Illinois the
rates are only twelve per cent. In the
latter states. the passenger fare is two
cents a mile. but the travelling men
argue that the half-cent additional in
North Dakota does not make UP the
extra four per cent.
The proposition of forcing North
ern Pacific passenger trains Nos. 1 and
2 to carry passengers between stop
ping points in this city was brought
up. but the question was continued
until the September meeting.

He owns an old horse, which. to put
