INSURANCE MEN
GO ON STRIKE
5000 Employees of Prudential
Company Quit; Likely More
Will Follow.

New York, July 24.-Agents and
collectors employed by the Prudential
were called out onistrike today by a
union recently organized among them
and known as the Iternatioal lsur-
ace Agents Protective association,
with a membership Of 5000. 1t ap'
peared tonight that at least 500 men
in this district have quit.
"The men demand better pay, rec
ognition of the union and more rea.
sonable working hours" Leaders
here declare that unless the demands
of the men are met, 5000 will follow
the lead of those already out About
10000 agents and collectors are en-
ployed by the company throughout
the country. s%~
The lack of sufficient collectors to
see that the premiums are turned in
at the proper time, the strikers as
sert, will result in the cancellation of
thousands of policies. The company
had announced that arrangements are
being made to protect policy holders
and to have the strikers replaced by
experienced men. The company an.
nounced that none of the men who
walked out would be reinstated under
any circumstances. 1a

The biennial appropriation for 1911.
1912 for guards and. prison employees
was $4,000, the same for 1894, and
$4,000 for 1856. The number OF
inmates in the prison at one time to
1916 was less than 23O, while during
this year it has been over 800.
Work Long Hours.
Guards are paid from SIS to $40,
including for some board and room,
for others only board. They work
from IL to 16 hours day, and some
times Is or 20. Ths guards on the
wall are allowed guns, but the other
guards carry none.
The board of control asked the last
legislature to appropriate sufficient
money to build dormitory for the
employees, which was to be equipped
with club rooms. This would make
it possible to always have the max.
imum number of guards in reserve.
But the appropriation of $4,000 made
by the law making body was not
deemed sufficient to build suitable
quarters and no action has been taken
by the board.

PREVENT INJURY
TO j. 5. FIRMS
Administration Officials Will
Take Vigorous Action Against
Black Listing.
PRES. WILSON MUCH
CONCERNED OVER ISSUE

Washington, July 24.-Administra-
ton officials gave evidence today that
they were preparing to take vigorous
action to prevent injury to American
firms through Great Britain's promul-
CATION of a commercial blacklist I'M
der the trading with the enemy act.
President Wilson told callers he was
much concerned over the possibilities
of the British orders and there were
indications at the state department
tina some seps might be taken unless
there was reply forthcoming to the
informal inquiries on the subject
made by Ambassador Page at Lon
don.
Already the department has accu-
mulated considerable information re-
garding the blacklist sufficient, it was
said by one official tonight, to warrant
action if there was no promise of an
immediate explanation. 1t was init
mated that some announcement might
be made tomorrow, although it was
not made clear w1leher it would take
the form of formal protest to Great
Britain or statement from the de-
partment for the general information
of American business interests likely
to be affected Information reaching
the department indicates that the al
the nations are preparing for united
action along the lines of the trading
with the enemy act. Officials realize
that such action might greatly aggra-
vate the difficulties confronting the
firms placed on the blacklist and COM
plicate diplomatic negotiations on the
subject.

Want CHILD LABOR
BILL ACTED upon
Several Democratic Senators Fa-
vor Immediate Passage Of
Measure.

Washington, July 24.-Several Dem
ocratic senators declared tonight that
they would not be bound by any eau
Gus decision to postpone action On
the child labor bill until next session,
in the face of President Wilson's re-
quest that it be passed before ad-
journment. They pointed out that
the Republicans were ready to de-
mand that the measure be brought
up if the majority refused to in
clude it in its preparedness program,
and predicted that any attempts to
whip Democratic senators into ]ine
against it's consideration might meet
with serious opposition.
What shall be done with the child
labor bill is causing Democratic lead
ers some concern. The caucus, which
once excluded it from preparedness
programs, will meet in q Jew days to
discuss the subject further in the
light of President Wilson's request.
Senator Kern said that although no
caucus had been called, he expected
one to be held soon. He said he had
received many kilograms from the
southern states that the bill be pass
ed.

that it would be unwise to limit the

dow. Whether any stamps were stol-
en- could not be determined until an
inspector arrived and the supply is
checked up. but as only stock was
kept out of the safe, it is not believed
that many were secured.
There was but one explosion and
that failed to destroy the door of the
safe, and it is likely the burglars fear
to wait for another chance lest the
first one arouse the city and they be
caught. The one explosion did not
destroy the door sufficiently to give
the yeggs access to the money and
stamps in the safe. There was quite
an amount of cash in the safe at the
time and large supply of stamps
were on hand. HH.;

MORE BLACK RUST
SAY MANDAN MEN

Mandan, July 04-That there is
more black rust in this section OF the
state than ever before in it's history
is the statement of various elevator
and grain men. Morton county is not
the only district hit, for the prevail
ence of the rust is general and the
market has bounded upward nearly
nine cents in the past five days.
A. p. Gray of the Farmers elevator
company on Sunday made long aut-
omobile trip through the district
south and southwest of the city and
collected specimens from fifty or
more fields. These samples will be
sent in to experts.
Cool weather might combat the
rust, but there is no question in the
minds of grain men that the yields
will be cut down.
