SEEK TO UNITE
FOR NEW PARTY
RAILWAY EMPLOYEES AND THE
FARMERS FORM COALITION
FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.

Yankton, Aug. AFTER several
meetings had been held, coalition
has been perfected between repre-
sentatives of railway employees or
ganizations and farmers of South
Dakota for political purposes. 1t is
believed this is one of the first or
CARNATIONS of the kind to be per-
fected in the United States.
The new organization has been Of
ficially named the Farmer-Labor
Protective Association, and was per-
fected at meeting held in Yankton
at the call of committee of union
railway men appointed at another
meeting held a week before. e. j.
Anderson was elected president Ed
ward Mattison, vice president, G. e.
Ferguson, secretary and p. II.
Quinn, treasurer.
The new association was organ
lied through the efforts of Warren
E. Beck, of Geddes, S. D., division
chairman of the Order. of Railway
Telegraphers.
Mr.. Beck urged those present at
the organization meeting to learn
to use that old tongue of yours; it's
one of the best pieces of machinery
you've got" He believed that il
was mans privilege TO talk, and that
with the head used with the tongue
there was nothing that led to bet
ter understanding of the speaker S
feelings.
People, he believed, come from
nearly the same tribe, no matter
whether they were to end up as
capital as labor" and that while
there are some crooks, almost all
are good in almost every organiza-
tion.
1t was Mr.. Beck's contention thai
the farmer was the "goat" first be-
cause he was not organized, and
that now it was reaching railway la
Dor. He stated that the man who
votes party ticket today is no
awake, and that it was the duty o.
farmers and railway employees tt
unite their forces and become ;
power in politics.

Keith and Harley Lemons, all OF
Buffalo, Mo-, either were thrown
off or fell off Santa Fe train five
miles north of Newton yesterday. A
coroner's jury held today that the men
met death by falling from fast-mov-

Early today searchers found the
mangled bodies of four youths strewn
along the Santa Fe tracks south of
Wichita for a stretch of three miles.
Jeff Bryan of st. Louis, the sole sur

in local hospital, having been picked
up three hours after being struck by
the train.
The four victims have been identi-

Stanley Carr, st. Louis; Joseph A.

When picked up Bryan told police
he and his companions had sat down

four who met instant death were ly-
ing in the middle of the track while
he had a position to the side, which
accounts for his escape from death.

SWARTZEL CASE
TO BE RETIRED
Frisco Is Granted New Trial In Suit
Instituted by MOnett Man for
Damages.

Springfield, June 20.-A new tria
of the suit Of W. L. Swartzel of Mo
nett against the Frisco railroad fol
alleged malicious prosecution was
granted yesterday in the circuit court
at Greenfield TO Mann & Mann
Springfield Frisco attorneys. The laS-
ter filed motion for new trial last
March when the court awarded Swart-
zell $4,000.
Swartzel alleges that the malicious
prosecution occurred when Frisco
special agents arrested him about a
year ago, charged him with larceny
from a box car on the Frisco tracks
at Monett, and he was held not guilty
on that charge.
The motion for new trial was
granted yesterday because the court
held that the arrest and prosecution
of Swartzel on the larceny charge
was justified by the evidence and
that the verdict of the jury at Green
field last March, when Swartzel was
awarded the $4,000, had no substan-
tial evidence to support it.

GRAPE BLACK ROT
CAUSE OF LOSSES

Black rot in grapes promises to be
more serious than early reported and
u is general throughout the district.
Many vineyards around. Necsho are
seriously infected and it is said by
officers of growers associations that
few have net suffered ra.erial dam
age. Spraying has been practiced and
where several applications of Bor.-
deaux mixture have been made it is
noted that the rot is under control but
is causing some slight losses.
Vineyards near Hollister are badly
affected. In one large vineyard near
that place sprays have been kept go-
ing ID hours day, Sundays included
for several weeks and the rot is not
fully under control. One vineyard
near there that was not sprayed
thoroughly is promising to produce
only few grapes. one estimate plac-
ing its yield at five per cent.
Grape lice are causing some loss
and are being controlled by the sppli-
cation of kerosene emulsion. This
emulsion should be applied as fire.
