$500 DAY MINIMUM FARM WAGE
l. w. w. Members and Nonpartisans
Reach Tentative Agreements to be
Ratified at MinOt Meeting

St. Paul, June 30.-According to a
statement issued today by John Gil
bert, local representative of the Non
partisan league, farmer members Of
that organization and members of the
Industrial Workers Of the World have
reached tentative agreement by
which the latter will obtain employ
ment in North Dakota harvest fields
and those of other states this summer.
The agreement is to be ratified at q
meeting to be held in Minot, N. D.,
July II, Mr.. Gilbert said. It is said
that the war farm labor problem will
be partly settled by the arrangement.
The farmers, on their part, have
guaranteed the l. w. w. members a
minimum wage of 81 daily with a
sliding scale to be based on the price
of wheat. In return, they viii be
guaranteed sufficient supply Of la
Dor and freedom from strikes. In adj
dition, both parties have agreed that
the railroads will be paid the fare of
the harvest hands, relieving the road
Of troubles incident to attempts to
stealing rides.
A. c. Townley, president of the
league, headed the farmers commit
tee, which drew up the agreement,
and which met with representatives
of the l. w. w.
There is no doubt that the farmers
will ratify the agreement, Mr.. Gilbert
said.
ut is a fine thing for our members
he added. ct assures them labor at a
reasonable wage when labor is scarce
and freedom from all the strike trou-
bles they have had during the past
few years. The statement in tele-
gram from Fargo that l. w. w. mem
bers think they are entitled to wages
of S11.45 day is erroneous. We have
found them reasonable in their de-
mands. Actually, railroad officials are
pleased with their part in the ar
lrangement."

FARMERS PLANT POISON BEANS
1t Is Feared That They Will Be Fed
to Stock on Farms

Fargo, N. D., July 2.-Word was re-
ceived by Dr. E. F. Ladd to the effect
that beans of the poison variety had
been planted by farmers in the north
central part Of the state. This makes
the situation more serious and it is
said that although the beans will not
grow in this climate, there is danger
of their being fed to stock on the
farms. DR.. Ladd declares that the
green beans and green plants are just
as injurious as the dried beans.
While in Bismarck, DR.. Ladd iden-
titled 5000 pounds Of the beans which
he condemned and had them shipped
back to the jobbers.
A corps of food inspectors has been
sent out into the state to hunt out the
poison beans and thorough search
will be made in an effort to clean up
the state as quickly as possible.

CRYING FOR HELP

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole

Not one more important to health
The kidneys are the filters of the

When they fail the blood becomes

There can be no health where there

Backache is one of the frequent in.
