THRESHERS MUST
HAVE INSURANCE

Operators of threshing machines
which do work for farmers must
have workmen's compensation insur-
ance, according to a rule of the bu-
reau. While the bill exempts a>ri-
cultural service from the operation
of the law, it is held that when a
thrasher does work for one other
than himself he must be insured.
This ruling may be, tested according
to group of men operating thresh'
ing machine. The net result, how
ever, will be to add probably l cent
a bushel to threshing cost, according
to some operators of machines.
Last year they were exempted by
the workmen's compensation bureau
because the matter was being tested
in five different supreme courts, it is
said, and three of them have held
they can not be classed as agricul-
tural service.

STORM CAUSES
HEAVY DAMAGE
. BEYOND HAZEN Z
Hail Hits Strip of Territory
About Is Miles Long and 10
Miles Wide
MOST CROP REPORTS GOOD
Average Yield of Wheat or Bet
ter is Practically Assured
in Slope Country
MOST CROP REPORTS GOOD

A strip of country in the vicinity
of Krem, northwest of Bismarck, has
been struck again by storm of cy
clonic proportions. The property
damage, however, was chiefly due t.,
loss of grain crops by the hail, &C
cording to reports received here.
The state hail insurance depart
ment received many kilograms today
from farmers in the path of the storm
asking for information as !, to the
method Of making claims for hal
losses. .
The storm struck the country late
tuesday, and according to intorma
tion received by the Tribune, taused
a 60 per cent crop loss over a strj}
OF territory Is miles long and II
miles wide north of Hazen.
Hits krem Hard
The heaviest loss was around
Krem, which suffered severely in a
storm about a month ago. Around
Krem the crop is reported to be a
total loss. On the edges of the
storm the loss was small. The aver
age loss for the territory affected is
estimated at so per cent by l.. s.
FLINT, Hazen banker.
A few buildings were blown down
during the storm. Severe hail loss
in Rolette county and the northern
part of Towler county yesterday is
reported.
Only hail can stop good crop OF
grain in the Slope country. Reports
received here from various sections
indicate that the wheat yield will be
about, the average, better in some
parts, and there is a good crop OF
spring rye, oats, barley and flax.
Good Average Yield
Most estimates place the average
yield for the entire Slope country at
Is to Is bushels an acre. Around
Dickinson crops are exceptionally
good ,a5
! While rust has cut down the per-
centage of yield in the southeastern
section of the state, the yield will be
good, and the rust damage Is not as
large as might be expected.
The northeastern section of the
state needs rain The yield in the
northwest part OF the state will pc
cut down some by lack of rain and
the destruction by grasshoppers, it
is reported.

CLAIM OF DISCRIMINATION

London, July G5.-The Jones bill,
characterized as Americas bid for
shipping supremacy" is denounced by
the shipping expert Of the Sunday OBJ
server as 'retaliatory and discriminat-
ory" ~
He declares that the war has taught
other nations the Importance of own
ing mercantile marine and that jeal-
Ousv has been aroused throughout, the
world by the ability and magnifi-
cence' of the British mercantile es
tablishment. tIn two countries" he
asserts, ''in particular, is feeling of
most bitter. jealousy against our mer-
camille marine. These two countries
are France and the United States
The writer declares that there is
nothing to which foreigners can OBJ
ject in the principal provisions of the
Jones Bill insofar as it is INTENDED to
coordinate the transport resources CT
the United States whether ocean, coast
wise or inland shipping, railways,
ports and docks SO as to form one i'm
mense undertaking to force American
export and import trade into the holds
Of American ships. 81.
Discriminating. h..
He says, however, that some of the
clauses of the bill were intended 70 be
discriminatory against Great Britain
and Japan Among these he mentions
those which authorize preferential
treatment to American vessels in Am
erican ports. The insurance provis-
ions of the bill, he says, impose the
most drastic forms of returns, which
are based absolutely upon the methods
of the German insurance companies,
against which America herself pro-
tested so bitterly previous TO her en-
try into the war. These have been
devised admittedly for the purpose Of
learning every iota of business trans
acted by foreign companies with a
view to passing the same on to Ameri-
can concerns. The object of course
is that, having this information, the
government may oust the American
company entirely to assist British in
surance. .
SavOrs Of Trust.
'In the same vein is the clause
which valves in favor of American
insurance companies, the Sherman
antitrust law This is entirely on a
par with the methods adopted by the
Shipping Board during the war when
it transpired the confidential inform
alton given to the Shipping board sole
ly for the purpose of the war was be-
ing used to enable American shipping
to defeat British shipping after the
war.
"We in this country now know that
we are to be faced with the most Bit
ter competition for the supremacy of
the seas which we have ever had to
meet We are in for big fight, but
before America can win the fight she
must create national feeling for a
mercantile marine. She must prepare
to pay considerably higher freight and
insurance rates on all she imports and
exports and she must be willing to
forego profits on her shipping enter
prises for many years. The, person
who is most willing to feel the pinch
of Americas ambitions will be the
American exporter"

ENOUGH. LABOR
IN NORTHWEST
REPORT SHOWS
Surplus Of Workers for First
Time Since 1914, Minnesota
Official Says
IS AND KEEP FOR 10 HOURS

Minneapolis MINI, July 29.-As har'
vest time in Minnesota approaches
there is every indication that there
will be an actual surplus of farm Ia
Dor for the first year. since. 1914, Hugh
Jennings, chief Of the state employ
ment office, declared today. During
the last two weeks, Mr.. Jennings said
laborers from the Pacific coast and
from nearer Northwest states have
been coming to Minneapolis in large
numbers, looking for work. Shutting
down Of shipyards and other industries
has resulted in the release of many la
borers.
''For the first time in years, we have
more. calls for work right now than
we have places to Sill" Mr.. Jennings
said. Reports from all parts OF the
state indicate that labor is becoming
available for the harvest in almost
every community"
Wages Coming Down.
4 AS a result, Mr.. Jennings explained,
labor wages are settling down to a
uniform rate of about SIS day, room
and board, for 10-hour day.
Laborers who came into the Mime
apolis employment office from North
Dakota and Montana todav report that
there lis a large surplus of labor in
thosef states at this time, and that
work is hard to get. The harvest is
beginnina there, they said, and the
demand for workers is higher than at
any other time In spite Of that fact,
the farmers have all the help they need
and are turning applicants for work
away, they said. Most Of the farm
ers are paying only so cents an hour,
room and board. The men have de-
manded 20 cents an hour. but in most
cases have not been able to get it, they
said.
