of the Farmers Non-partisan league
here today.
Organized labor has a prominent
place on the farmers program.
Speakers emphasize the unity of in
terests of both.
THE interests of the farmers and
the laboring classes are the same,
Governor Frazier, North Dakota
farmer governor declared in his key
note address.
G. W. Mason, secretary of the ST.
Paul Trades and Labor assembly
said:
1.-The farmer has been played
against the workingman in the state
legislature for years and as result
neither has got much. What we both
need is to understand each other, get
on a common footing and adjust our
differences"
The Farmers league, which swept
agrarian North Dakota last year,
electing the legislature. executive
and judiciary, is preparing for the
same kind of whirlwind campaign in
Minnesota next year. But support
of labor in Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth will be necessary to win,
political observers declare. They
see in this conference the first big
attempt to cement the forces of labor
and farmers If the method wins in
Minnesota, the league, which Is al
ready organizing in a dozen middle
western states, will have little diff
Guilty in gaining control of the politi-
cal machinery in a large number of
states
Labor leaders are watching devel-
opm ents closely. President Coughlin
of the central labor union, Brooklyn,
N. Y, is expected to state labor's at
titude toward his program In his
speech today. Resolutions advocating
loyalty, CONSUMPTION of wealth, rural
credits, food price fixing and fair
methods of grain grading will be
adopted tomorrow, 1t is believed.
viii Join Forces.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 19.-Farmers and
workingmen throughout the nation
will join forces in self defense agains,
the middlemen, spectators and com
mercial interests, according to Presi
dent j. P. Coughlfn, Of the Central
Labor union, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Addressing the national conference
on the high cost of living here today
Coughlin limited that. through the
Farmers Non-partisan league, labo,
would unite with the farmers to gair
their political and economic ends, fore
shadowing possible formation Of {
vast political party to effect theil
joint program.
Labor on the farm has no quarre
with labor in the city. Their com
mon enemies, the useless middleman
bankers, spectators and monopolist'
have used one hand to rob the farm
er and the other hand to rob the cit!
worker. The two classes have beer
played against each other" Coughlil
declared.
This conference is epoch maxim,
because it plans to abolish the enem!
which can exist only by keeping farm
and city. labor apart.

Conference between government
agents and representatives of both
sides of the controversity was re-
sumed at 1890 a. m, and still is in
progress. 1t is understood J. L. Ack-
erson, representing the shipping
board. formally submitted the Mare
island navy yard wage scale as
basis Of settlement. This scale is
for ship building trades, however,
and does not affect men employed in
industries in no way connected with
ship buildings. In some ways this
may operate against settlement.

But with such a reassuring predic-

MOTOR CYCLE IN PHOENIX.

Motor Cycle Deputy sheriff Jack
Ryan yesterday received word from
Phoenix that a motor cycle that be-
lOnged 10 him had been found in
Phoenix and was in the possession OF
Or. Norton. A few months ago Ryan
made an agreement with a young man
named ~Chn Rawls "a purchase the
machine. Rawls made one or two
payments on the machine and fell in
arrears on the others and he was
notified by Ryan that if he could not
make the payments that the machine
would have TO be turned back. Instead
Of doing anything toward making the
payments Rawls took the machine and
beat it and Ryan began TO think that
he had lost the machine entirely. The
letter did not say how the machine
came into the possession Of the doc
tor but that il was discovered 10 be
his by inquiry through the secretary
OF states Office as to the owner OF
the license number. Ryan has writ
