FOR BUREAU FOR
HARVEST HANDS
ABERDEEN's MAYOR ATTENDS
CONFERENCE TO ARRANGE
PLAN FOR HANDLING
THESE MEN. u

Aberdeen, s. D.-Mayor e. M.
Hall has returned from Kansas City,
Mo-, where he was in attendance at
a conference of city and state, officials
with the United States Industrial
commission to discuss the matter of
harvest help in the west. 1t will be
remembered that Aberdeen figured
largely in reports of s~o-called .'in-
vestigators" of the harvest labor
proposition last fall, when the city
authorities We're compelled to adopt
somewhat drastic measures to en-
force order after the city was flood
ed with men looking for work in the
harvest fields. the labor market in
the northwest having been flooded.
Mayor Hall reports that a COM
mittee was appointed at the confer
ence to hold a meeting at Omaha
some time in February to formulate
plans for meeting the supply and de-
mand in the harvest fields of the
west. This committee is composed
of p. G. Willwog of the Minneapolis
Commerce association; William Lei
serson, United States commissioner of
industrial relations; T. V. Powderly,
bureau of immigration; w. j. o.
Brien, labor commissioner of Okla
homa; Charles McCaffree, labor COM
missioner of South Dakota; Harvey
Osborne, of the free state employ
ment agency at Kansas City; W. g..
Ashton, Oklahoma commissioner of
labor; H. E. Dickinson, s%uperintan-
dent Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way, Huron, S. D., and the labor
commissioners of Iowa; Nebraska and
North Dakota. 1t is planned to es-
tablish a bureau of information for
lahoring men, in order that the la
Dor market may not be oversupplied
at some points and under-supplied
at others. Many questions were TAX
en- up and discussed, and the COM
mittee appointed will endeayor to
ind some way to solve these various
problems. ..,

vEBLEN
BOND TO BE SOLD

Veblen. S. D..There is great re-
sjoicing among veblen holders of Sec
end mortgage bonds Of the Fair
mount and yeblen railroad, over the
announcement that a buyer has been
found for a quantity of the bonds
at SO per cent of their par value.
When the railroad project was
preached two months ago, a large
quantityssof second mortgage bonds
were purchased by the Veblcn peo-
PIE with the understanding on their
part. which was carefully explained
to them by the promoter. that the
likelihood the bonds would ever attain
a marketable value was exceedingly
slim. The bonds found q ready
market here, however, because. of
the anxiety of the people to get q
railroad, the purchasers looking upon
the matter as a bonus for the road,
rather than; a real business deal.
The fact that buyers have been found
for a portion of the bonds, within
two years of the investment there
fore, came as a delightful surprise.

SETTLERS WIN
IN WATER CASE
COURT OF APPEALS SAYS WAT.
ERR CANNOT BE SHUT OFF
FOR NON-PAYMENT.

Lead, s.. D.-Settlers under the
government reclamation project have
Just o an important decision in
the u. s.. court of appeals which sus-
tanned the decision Of Judge Elliott
in the u. s. district court of this state
The suit was the Belle Fourche Wat
er Users association against Frank
Magruder, project engineer, and
others and arose from the defend
ants shutting off the water supply
Of the settlers for non-payment of
water rents and other differences.
The suit was fought by the govern
ment on the grounds that Magrulcr
and the other officials were only
nominal defendants and that the
plaintiffs really sought to restrain
the government from proper super
vision of its water rights. This de-
icision is expected to bring about a
REIMBURSEMENT of the water rent prob
lem and make 1T easier for the set
tier on government irrigation pro-
jscts. Lead and Denver attorneys
conducted the case.
