Cleveland Official Alleges Strike Ad-

CLEVELAND, November 16.-Louis
Loebl, native Hungarian, serving as
city immigration officer, today charged
activity by the Austro- Hungarian en-
bassy at Washington in the strike of
machinists at the Theodore Kundtz
factory here. The kundtz plant has
been manufacturing bodies for automo-
biles to fill war orders for the entente
allies and has been tied up several
weeks by strike.
Loebrs charges came in connection
with his defense before Mayor Newton
d. Baker of informal charges that he
had been unduly active in his connec-
ton with the strike.
He told the mayor that one of the chief
advisers of the strikers, whom he was
convinced was in the pay of the Austro-
Hungarian government, had offered, in his
hearing, to sell OUT the strikers for
5000.

MYRON L.

He suggested that these legislative
steps be considered to relieve condi-
tons:
First.-An amendment of the Ia
tional banking act to permit any ma
tlonal bank that confines its credit ia
cilities to members to be organized as
an association without capital stock.
Second.-An amendment of the bank
ing act of each state to permit any
kind of bank that confines it's credit
facilities to members to be organized
as an organization without capital
stock.
Third.-A law by the nation and in
each state to legalize for associations
whatever is lawful for corporations
i, e., a regulatory law.
Fourth.-A clause in such law to
permit combinations among farmers
associations or small producers or con
sumers' associations.
Such, in substance, are the basic
principles of the laws in all countries
where rural cooperation flourishes."
said Mr.. Herrick. 'America is too set
in the idea that the corporation or
partnership is the only means for or
ganizing business or finance and that
the association is intended merely for
be%nevolence. thrift and non-proft Oh
jects. There is also a widely prevalent
idea that cooperation is of a similar
%altruistic nature. We should disabuse
our minds of these false ideas and
put the association and cooperation
on a practical, economic basis.
"A system of cooperative associa-
lions based on cooperative banks is,
In my opinion, the best solution of the
troubles that beset American agricul
ture. The combined wealth and earn.
ing power of the farmers are so stu
pendous that they would become self
sufficient if they would consolidate and
mobilize their u through such
systems extending from the plains to
tidewater. Experience proves that the
organized farmer is able to take care
of himself. The only way to. organi-
cation lies through cooperation"

oouNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
FOR GOVERNOR, 1916
HON. A. E. HITCHCOCK, of Mitchell
WILSON IS STRONG y

New York. Nov. 22.-Medill McCor
mick of Chicago, progressive nat.ona
committeeman from Illinois, told Col
onel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay results Of
a trip he had taken recently from Port
land, Ore, to Portland, Me, regarding
political conditions. Mr.. Mccormick
returned to New York city last night
and today is in Washington.
Mr.. Mccormick was frankly pessi
mistic concerning the outlook for an in.
dependent progressive party. Fusion
with the republicans he said is likely.
Regarding the democrats, Mr.. Nc
Cormick said: president Wilson is
strong throughout the country. He is
stronger than most of the opposing pol.
ltlclans, in published statements, have
been willing to admit. Certainly Mr..
Wilson is not b~oisterously popular-but
he is strong.
AS TO Elihu Roots candidacy, Mr..
Mccormick said: ''Elihu Root is The
least available of the conspicuous re.
publican candidate and not merely be
cause the proposed New York state
constitution was beaten by an over
wheitning vote. The bull moose regard
him as the engineer of the steam roller
OF which Barnes and Penrose were just
stockers.
There is more general sentiment for
Justice Hughes than for any other man
mentioned on the republican side"

PIERRE LOST TO BRooKINGs

The Brookings high school football.
team defeated the Pierre team here to.
day in a football game that was a fast
one. The game was a scrappy one
from beginning to end with plenty OF
excitement from The blowing of the
first whistle.
The first half showed some brilliant
plays by both teams. The second hall
opened with renewed life on the part OF
visitors and locals. Brookings came
back stronger than ever and soon it
was quite evident that the visitors had
the best of the contest.
The game ended by a score of 20 tc
Ia, in favor of Brookings.
One of the largest and most enthusi-
astic crowds that has witnessed a.game
in Pierre this year was present and
cheered the participants.
