fruitless struggle, Christensen and
the others in the New Salem colony
decided radical changes were neces-
sary in their method Of farming. They
each had a few cows, but they were
just plain cows. They decided they
must have more and better cows, SO
they began breeding. At first they
made slow progress. They bought
purebred sires, and by mating them
with selected native cattle, bred some
good producing grades. About this
time the North Dakota experiment
station began search for group Of
farmers with whom they could work
out plan for a purebred cattle breed
ing circuit. It was put into opera
ton. The first step was to develop
special type of purebred dairy cow,
adapted to the conditions of that re-
gion of light rainfall: The second
was to decelop practical working
system of cooperation in the breeding
of cattle among the everyday farmer,
not a specialist in dairying. Jan. I,
1910, the North Dakota Holstein Frie-

 States Railway Labor Board. The eight-hour day is an outstanding pro- posal in the message.
 The compromise program was sub mitted in the belief that the president will call the joint conference between railway officials and their employees for which the labor side recently ap- pealed.
 Significance attaches to the telegram in view of the fact that B. NJ. Jewell, president of the railway employees de- partment of the American Federation of Labor, returned from conference
 with MT. Harding Wednesday. General determination of what shall constitute a just and reasonbale wage | for all railroad labor throughout the United States will be made by the | United States Labor Wage Board af- l ter hearing scheduled for April IS. This announcement was made by the

Indications that the board in- tends to make speedy disposal of the wage proposition is shown in its or der requiring all written evidence by both parties to the controversy 10 be submitted to it before April 20.
 Frank McManamy, assistant to Di- rector General Hines of the Railroad Administratio tion, in his testimony today, made a plea for retention of the nation al agreements. He said the charges that the national agreements made for waste and inefficiency were not war ranted. He said the government had thrown out the piecework system for the reason that the men refused to work in that manner. He said the government also found by experience that piecework cost 20 per cent more than the same work done on the time plan.-GaZette.
