Fargo, N. D., July ~19.-The Non
partisan league of North Dakota has
given up it's proposal to make an
agreement with the I. W. W. with re-
spect to hours of work and wages,
according to announcement made by
President, A. G. Townley in one of the
leagues official organs, ascribing as
"a reason, the objection made by the
Farmers of the Barnes county and the
Ramsey county district.
In the series of four meetings held
last week. in Minot, Valley City, Bis
marck and Devils Lake, the proposal
was favored in two instances, and
in the other two it was voted down.
REPORTS vary as to Just what tram
spired at the Devils Lake meeting
Saturday. Like other sessions pre-
viously held, it was behind closed
doors. Not more than forty members
attended the meeting, according to
one version, and the vote was 21 to
IA against ratification. A second
vote. according to this version, re-
turned a majority Of one for the
plan.
The report that the official paper
of the league prints does not carry
the number voting. except it says
there was a majority of five against

''The improvement of human
health and welfare in rural America
is problem of the greatest signifi-
canoe in relation to our national well
fare. 1t is a problem affecting ma
tiona1 safety, national prosperity, ma
tional perpetuity. 1t is a problem
dealing with the most essential and

resources. No factor is of greater

ing national preparedness, either for
peace or for war
1.-THE urgency of health supervi-
sion for all schools not having a sys-
tenn is brought out very strikingly
by the surveys of the Minnesota Pub
lie Health association nurses They
find that from fifty to ninety per cent
of our school children are more or
less handicapped mentally and phys
ically by defects and diseases which
can be prevented or corrected"
A table of eleven counties was pre-
sented, showing the examinations re-
corded and the number with one or
more physical defects, and they were
many.

DR.. 1. J. Murphy, executive secre-
tary of the Minnesota Public Health
association, in his address yesterday
at the annual School Officers meet
ing at the court house, on Health
Work in Rural Schools" said:
"School hygiene for every child in
the state, rural as we'll as city and
village, is our most important prepar-
edness measure.
Fewer applicants are rejected be-
cause of physical defects or impair
ed health from communities having
school supervision than from other
communities. One authority states
that slackers are merely school chill
dren who grew up without having
physical defects repaired, which
leaves them either weaklings or
with criminal tendencies.
"More than half of the school
children in this state are attending
rural schools Country children at
tending rural schools are less healthy
and are handicapped by more phys
ical defects than the children of the
cities, including all the children of
the slums And this is true, in gen.

Could Not Force Agreement.
General objection raised in the
series of meetings, it is understood,
was based on the theory that the
Nonpartisan league would not be
able to force the I. W. w. to carry
out the agreement.
President Townley, in announcing
the abandonment of the plan, takes
occasion to score the "opposition
press and "enemies of the league.
"These enemies of the farmer proved
they are more anxious to see the
farmers and farm laborers fight each
other than to see them at peace,
Townley said.
'1 know many farmers are going
to be disappointed at our having to
give I'D the plan that promised to
prevent the disputes and disorders
that have occurred for years during
the harvest. But I hope these farm
ers will take a broad-minded view,
realizing that other members OF the
league honestly believe the agree
Fment would not be advisable at TINS
time, and that the league cannot al
ford to take up a proposition on
which its members are not united.
