baugh district that the men Of that
section would go out with them and
that the mining camps on the Mesaba
range would follow as soon as any

Strang told/the men that the gov

pay them as high as $40 a day and
produce the ore at a cost 18 per cent
less than it is now being brought out.
When asked at the close of the
meeting where he received the In
formation that the miners on the

men here voted to strike, Strang said
it was only a repetition of a claim he

That harvesting Is well on in some
districts in this section OF. the state,

farmers coming here to transact busi-
ness. North OF Thompson, oats and

tent that harvesting will be general
all over the /, state, over cne week
earlier than the average season. The
early ripening has prevented the kerr
nels from developing to full size in
