CLAIM CROSS RIVER
CROPS ARE BEST

Pierre, Aug. 4.-Trips over
the central part Of the state
show that the crop condition
are better thus far in the sec
tion west Of the Missouri than
east of the river. In the west
section the wheat was general Y
harvested before any b ack rust
appeared, and the loss from that
cause will be minimum. Loca
showers have also given the
west river corn fie DIS a better
showing than in many sections
east of the river where a ack of
rainfall is beginning to show
effects. A general rain is need
ed in the Mis- s3ouri va ley to
bring the crop through as a gen.
era crop. In many sections local
showers have kept the corn up
to as fine a condition as could
be asked and in such sections
the indications are for a fine
crop, but there are other loca !,
ties where the showers have not
touched and in these spots ram
is needed. Oats, rye and spelt7
was harvested in good shape, and
the alta ia seed crop is forming
rapidly, and shows indications OF
making up for the ack of seed
last year. The hay crop is the
best for years. and general
conditions are good in the Miss

OF course Mr.. Fitzpatrick
knew in a general way what the
demands of the men wou d be
when he wrote that artic G. This
is what he said was in his minC
at the time:
"The statement being made BY
the publicity agents of the rail
roads that my article means that
the men are demanding more
pay instead Of shorter work
day j. false. What my artic {
did intend. and what it does con
vey, is the fact that the mcr
do want an eipht-hour workdav
but that the roads. may, on &C
count of the exigencies of The
service, work train c"ew over
time, paying overtime for suct
work. Any other constructio~
p accd on the article is who'll
unjustiried."
But, after a |. it is not M
Fitzpatrick's statement that
counts. but the DEMANDS OF
THE MEN THEMSELVES. The
demand show what the mem
bers Of the railroad brother
hoo IS really want. And thcE
show that the men want a.

p Dyes are piece workers. The

demand, as formulated by the
men, is that the standard day

hours or less. This demand
means that the railroads sha
keep their trains running over
the ines at the rate Of at least
twelve and one-half mi es per

in eight hours. If they do not
do thii, then overtime at the

SOUTH DAKOTA
HARVEST OPENED

Washington, Aug. 9.-The eX
ce ,sivey hot weather caused
harvest in South Dakota to come
on with a rush, and the farmers
have been compel ed to work
ear y and late in getting their
small grain harvested. They now
are uti izing every hour of day
light in the work of completing
their sma | grain harvest.
The help prob EN- has been
very serious problem in many
sections of the state. Members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World have demanded from
$3.50 to $500 per day and board
and lodging for their services,
but harvest hands, independent
of this organization, have been
satisfied with $3.50 and $500
per day, and thousands of them
are being employed in different
sections of the state at these
prices.
In the state at large most of
the spring wheat has been cut,
and rye, bar ey and oats gener-
a ly are in the shock. The last
three mentioned grains have
yielded wei in the greater part
of the state, black rust for the
most part having damaged
spring wheat, and this in only a
part of the state. In the ex-
treme southeastern section of
the state there was but lit e
rust, and the same is true west
Of the Missouri river.
Notwithstanding the ru 1T dam
age the crop of spring wheat
raised in South Dakota thij year
will average up with that of
many former years. Other small
grains a,e be ievcd to be better
than those of many former
years. In many sections sma
grain will thresh out wei.
Corn has been making rapid
progress during the past few
weeks and now is in fine con,
dition. While in some loca.
tiles rain wou, d benefit it, So far
as reported there is no section

FIND SHIPPING QUESTION
STRONG IN LATIN AMERICA
American Commission Tells of OBJ
servations in Recent Tour
of Country.

Without exception in every country
we found the shipping question upper
most in the minds of government Off
cials. bankers and business men," says
the American section of the interna-
from a tour of Latin America, in a
public statement just issued.
practically every business man with
whom the members of the commission
discussed conditions emphasized the
absolute need of greatly increased
ocean tonnage, while the members of
the American colonies in the various
cities sought every opportunity to i'm
press upon the members of the commits
sion the importance of action at the
earliest moment to improve conditions.
1t was pointed out repeatedly that
under the normal conditions preceding
the war the operations of many lines to
European markets for both passengers
and freight, making trips in less time
than steamers plying to the United
States, gave Europe a great advantage
in the sale of merchandise not only be-
cause of the larger tonnage available
and quicker service, but because of the
lower freight rates enjoyed:
1t would be difficult to extend Amer
lean trade with such handicap, in the
opinion of representatives of American
business houses.
THE United States commission does
not, as a commission, assume to say
what remedies should be applied by our
government" says the statement but
they are convinced that there is no
more vital question affecting our COM
merce with the Latin American coun-
tries than that of providing greatly in
creased shipping facilities.
