An Organization Has Been
Formed to Determine a
Standard Wage Scale.

a large meeting of delegates from
the various townships in Grand Forks
and Nelson counties. representing
agricultural interests, was held March
Is under the auspices of the Niagara
Shawnee Agricultural club.
Some time Il request was sent
u by a representative body of thai
club to all the townships in the two
counties. asking that meetings be
held to elect delegates to attend a
meeting at Niagara for the purpose
of forming a uniform wage scale for
season farm labor hat would do JUS
tice to both farmer and laborer.
$50 a Month.
The question of wages and the
hours of work was discussed at great
length at the convention yesterday
and a ballot was taken which showed
a majority voting in favor of $50 per
month for the season of eight months
as being a fair scale of wages.
No definite action was taken but
the matter was thoroughly discussed.
the consensus of opinion being that it
would work put satisfac torily to pay
$40 per month for the first four
months up to August l and $50 per
month for the balance of the season.
,g Movement to Spread. !.
1t was decided to form a perma-
nent organization with the view Ito
making it state wide. Opinions We're
expressed hat it would be a great
help both to h laborer n the
farmer as it would set at rest rumors
of high wages being paid in various
These rumors, it was said,
when traced, are generally found to
be untrue. Under the workings of the
proposed statewide organization
there can be no doubt as to the
scale in different localities.
A resolution was passed asking the
newspapers of the state to give this
new organization publicity, and the
secretary was asked to refer the mat
ter to the county auditors through
the commissioner of agriculture. with
a view toward gaining further pub
licity.
The new organization which was
formed will be known as the Niagara
Shawnee Farmers and Laborers' bu-
reau.
Hans Georgesen was elected presi-
dent and o. Albin Olson, secretary.
