Hands.

4
| Hands.
Washington, Aug. l5.--Twenty thous
and American harvest hands will helI
save Canada's grain crop and nearly halt
as many Canadians will dig potatoes in
Maine under an arrangement reached
yesterday by representatives of the
American and Canadian governments
immigration regulations will be suspend.
ed by both countries to permit the labor
to cross and recross the border.
American harvest labor, working
northward with the grain season, here
tofore has stopped at the Canadian line
and scattered to other pursuits through
out the United States. The agreement
made yesterday contemplates their cross
ing to take the places of thousands of
Canadian workers who this year cannot
go to the western grain fields because of
the labor shortage throughout the do
minion.
The wheat fields of Manitoba, Sas.
katchewan and Alberta begin to ripen
just after the crop in the northern tier
of the states is gathered. Canada is
this year on 300,o00,0oo- bush
ell yield of wheat, the second largest the
country has grown.

Yesterday.

Rutland. Aug. 49, The report of tn,
executive board OF the Vermont branch
American Federation of Labor, signed
by Alexander Ironside of Barre and pre-.
sented to-day TO the annual convention
of that organization, reviews briefly the
achievements OF organized labor in Yer
mont since the federation was organized
Is years ago and then describes more
lengthily what has been accomplished
since the convention in Rarre a year ago.
Some of the laws enacted as result
of labor's organized efforts in 10 years
are; Weekly payment law, factory in.
spection, women and minors 56.hour
week, conciliation and arbitration law,
Sunday labor law, seats for employees on
street railroads law, BARRIERS law and
workingmen's compensation for acci.
dents. Even though 1t is admitted that
some of the laws are scarcely observed,
their enactment Is taken as an indica-
tion of labor's influence in behalf of
workingmen, organized and unorganized.
Under the head Of organization, it is
stated that good work by Vice President
Boynton in Burlington eliminated in the
organization of the plumbers, electrical
workers and building trades council.
Much space is devoted to efforts among
the tale workers Of Johnson, where sew.
eral mass meetings were held, following
a strike, and where the men forsook the
union when the employers granted them
an advance of S. per week The propa-
ganda in johnson is not looked upon |
with regret, even though the men did |
not remain organized, as the board be. |
lieves that the organizers have "sown |
the seed that some day may grow up,
even in the stony soil of Johnson" In |
this connection international unions are
urged to send their organizers into the
fields of Vermont where men
Of their crafts are working.
AT very great length the executive
board discusses the union label and tells

His Greatest Ovation
Menken Declares Middle West
Showed X Wanted a
Vigorous War

Just before boarding the train for
New York in Chicago yesterday with
Colonel Roosevelt, s. Stanwood Men
ken. chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the National Security League,
trlegraphed the headquarters OF the
league in this city an enthusiastic re-
port Of the Coloncls visit. Colonel
Roosevelt will arrive in New York this
morning at $40 o'clock on the Penn
sylvania Railroads Broadway Limited.
Mr.. MenLen's message read:
THE demonstration for Colonel
Roosevelt. IN Chicago was the greatest
ever received by him anywhere. From
the moment that he reached the city
until he left for New York at noon
to-day he has been The rec 7ient Of a
-ontinuous ovation.
Three dramatic incidents have
marked his visit. The first was at the
luncheon given in his honor, when DR.
Harry Pratt Judson, president Of the
' University or thlcagC. proposed Teso-
luton appealing 70 The President and
TO Congress to authorize Colonel Roose-
vet 10 60 with an american force into
the war, which resolution was enthusi'
astically adopted, after Colonel Roose-
welt had stated that he was willing to
20 in any capacity. The second oc-
cJrred at the mass meeting, when Colo
mel Roosevelt's appeal for an opportun-
ity to fight with the Allies was fol
lowed by a marvellous demonstration
that lasted over ten minutes.
THE most remarkable. as well as
the most unexpected, incident occurred
when Colonel Roosevelt. with dramatic
urged a vigorous prose
cution of real war. The $4,000 people
who heard him responded to his APP
peal without a single exception, and
dispelled forever the idea that the Mid
die West is lukewarm on the question
Of the United States actively and
earnestly participating in the conflict:
Colonel Roosevelt expressed himself
as being almost overwhelmed with the
outburst of patriotism and loyalty
which he had witnessed in Chicago
