ROADS TODEAL
 WITH OWN MEN
 IN SETTLEMENT
Agreement Applies to About One-Fourth of Countrys
 Class One Carriers
WILL SETTLE DISPUTES
Seniority Is Not Specifically Mentioned in Agreement,
 Nor Is Work Conditions

CHICAGO, His, Sept 13.-(By the Associated Press)-Thc peace agree ment for the settlement of the shop mems strike on individual roads as given out tonight made the following provisions:
 The agreement, at present, would apply to about one fourth of the class one roads of the country.
 All men returning to work would do so at the prevailing rate of pay which was fixed by the United States rail road labor board, effective on July 1, the day the strike order went into ef- feet.
 Seniority was not specifically men, toned in the agreement, although it was provided that the men return to work in "positions of the class they held before the strike began.
 Disputes over the relative stand ing" of old and new men would be re- ferred to a board of six rail officials and an equal number of, representa- tives of the, men.
 1t also was provided that the roads should find places for the strikers who have not committed acts of violence within thirty days after the agreement becomes effective.
 The agreement, so far as announced, made no mention of working condi- tions, outside contracting by the roads or jurisdiction by the labor board all of which also figured in the strike as a leadinq issue.

grass this year they have not moved
to the fields. The grain crops are
mostly out of danger Of grasshopper
damage for this year but these large
numbers of the insects present this
year means that very likely there will
be many grasshoppers next year and
the stubbling in of rye is to be advised
against in N'aces where grasshoppers
are numerous" said Mr. Lockwood.
"The reason for advising against
stubbling in rye is because this makes
an ideal incubator for grasshopper
eggs. The adult female seeks hard
place and deposits her eggs in August
and September" Mr.. Lockwood said.
Several letters have been received
from farmers who have noticed large
numbers of grasshoppers, said r. l..
Webster, entomologist at the Agri-
cultural College, today in discussing
this subject. $50 far the grasshop-
pers have been satisfied in the native
prairie grasses and have not mobilized
for attack upon the grain fields.
Weather is a factor in the grasshop-
per trouble and in seasons when
enough rain falls to afford abundant
growth Of grass the insects will not
bother crops while in dry year the
same number of hoppers would move
in and destroy crops"

Hands OF North Dakota

GLANDS off North Dakota" is good
advice for the republican national
committee, and if the men in charge
of the party's national affairs are
wise they will heed the advice.
This is our fight in North Dakota,
and it is not fight in which the
national committee should have any
interest. AS between Frazier and
O'Connor, from an organization stand
point, the republican party would be
just as well off with fair minded
democrat as with Mr.. Frazier. If
the republican party has any doubt
about that, it does not need to look
further than Senator La Toilette. Mr..
La Follette's capacity for team work
with the party he is supposed to rep
resent is zero. He doesn't know the
meaning of the word, and an open
ton, if he were inclined to be reason
able and fair in his attitude, would
be far preferable from purely party
standpoint to another La Toilette.
This is the principal interest of the
republican national committee-to add
another republican senator. But in
this case the label means nothing. 1t
is not a choice between republican
and democrat, but choice between
a recalled socialist governor and a
democrat. Many thousands staunch
republicans are going to vote for Mr..
O,Connor this fall. Probably ma
jority of the republicans of the state
will vote for Mr.. O'Connor. It be-
hooves the national committee, there
fore to display little tact. 1t, of
| course, cannot be expected to support
Mr.. O'Connor, but it can keep its

they have found that being a picket is
a pretty lonely and thankless job. Our
men have turned a deaf ear to the
pickets and there has been no trouble.
"At the same time some of our boys
that quit are at home with heavy
hearts and have never showed as pick
cts. They are sad because they know
that they owe it to themselves, their
families and the Great Northern rail-
road to be back at work and feel an
ache in my heart every time I take a
new man to replace one Of my old boys
that is simply afraid to come back.
II meet the boys on the street and
we talk it all over and they tell me
it is simply because they are afraid
of names and abuse otherwise there
would not be half dozen men out in
St. Cloud.
1T is a fact that the James J. Hill
Veterans took the lead in saying they
would be loyal and the spirit Of James
J. Hill is steadily and very rapidly
bringing the Great Northern men back
to work all over the system. Proud
of the fact that they are James j.. Hill

farmers whatever they might demand,
and the farm laborers whatever they
might demand; if factory workers de-
cided that they were not getting
enough the government could take
over the factories and pay them
whatever they might demand, and
why? there would be absolutely moth
ing to it! In fact, we have never at
any time seen or heard of any plan,
outside of Senator Edwin F. Ladd's
proposal that the government just
strike off few one, thousand dollar
bills and pass around among the SOL
dier boys, that appealed to us one
half so much. If it has been claimed
that every national crisis brings forth
it's great men-or women-and this
great crisis seems to be no exception
to the rule.

Our Bumper Crop


Do you know that North Dakota
will produce this year more spring
wheat than any state in the union?
Do you know that North Dakota
will produce this year more rye than
any other two states?
Do you know that North Dakota
will produce this year half Of the
fax grown in the United States?
Harvesting is now well undar way
in North Dakota, and nothing but
hail is to be feared during the next
few days The crops are made" and
they promise to be bumper ones. The
first threshing returns are available,
and they a,e fully up to expectations.
The rye harvest is at its height, and
wheat and other grains are being cut
in all parts of the state By the end
of this week the wheat harvest will
be at its height.
And not only have the crops come
through without serious damage from
rust and fulfilled the glowing pros
poets of a month ago, but the rev re-
turns available so far show that vir-
tuaily all grains are overIEnning N

will be in keeping with the quantity.

state in the union will be more for
tunate in the matter Of crops. No
state will equal this in the per capita
of new wealth produced from the soil,
In a world torn with war, revolution,
famine and pestilence, America
stands out as the most favored ma
ton And in the United States no
state should be more prosperops than
our own during the coming ~ months.
It should not be the cause for gloat-
ing or boasting, but it should stir pro-
found gratitude in the heart of every
citizen, and it should make the aver
age man ashamed Of discomfort. This
year at least we should have the most
evenly distributed prosperity and the
greatest freedom from actual want
of any district on the globe. Surely
such state is worth claiming as a
home. Surely such state should in
spire the greatest loyalty and the
highest grade of citizenship.-F

10 the effect that strikers can
gr onto railroad property and in a
peaceful manner try to persuade strike
breakers to join them, but they cannot
go onto railroad property and use
force, use obscene language or take
LIQUOR onto the railroad property. The
Judge says that it is against the law
for the railroads to segregate its
strike breakers and to surround them
with armed detectives. The strikers
on the other hand are enjoined from
"using fresh, vulgar and abusive Ian
guagc, words of epithets to company
agents, employees or officials or men
about to become such" The decision
is sort of ftty-ffft.y idea. The
strikers can go on to the railroad
property and mildly try to get the
strike breakers to quit their jobs but
they must not get rough, while on the
other hand the railroad companies
must not try TO stop strikers by arm
ed guards. In The meantime the pub
lie is asking when do we get coal?

i:cCg &C farmers held il Vclva Satur-

Of wages to be paid harvest hands

/ ,hresfing grain, were discussed. A
resolution was adopted recommending
that the wages for harvesting should
be $500 per day.
Tac price per bushel for threshing
grain was set at II cents for wheat
and rye and cents for oats and bar
ley. There has been some talk of
threshcrs charging IA cents for wheat
ard rye. This was considered alto
gether too high by all farmers pres
ent at the meeting and any thresher
who boosts the wages of his men to
the point where he will have to charge
ii cents will become mighty unpop-
ular in this section, judging from the
opinions aired at the meeting Satur-
Gay night.
1t seemed to be the opinion of
all that threshing prices at ~ and 7
would allow the thresher to pay $500
! for teams and $4.O0 for men and per-
haps a little more. This seemed to be
a very fair wage and in keeping with
this years crop. These wages are on
a par with those being paid in other
parts of this state where similar
meetings have been held.

WINTER WHEAT TRIED WITH
GOOD SUCCESS IN PEMBINA

Bismarck, N. D.-Winter wheat is
being tried out with good success in
Pembina county, one of the states
northernmost counties, according to
word received by C. R. Green, mana
ger of the Bank of North Dakota, Mr..
Green distributed considerable winter
wheat Seed.
James Sharp, near Hamilton, who
planted SO different kinds of seed on
his farm this year, reported that
winter wheat on his farm had six rows
of grain to the head. Winter wheat
will mature earlier and rust danger is
lessened by it's use.

The spirit of the late James J. Hill,
che Empire Builder, is the big thing
that is steadily and most certainly win
ming the railroad strike for the Great
Northern system.
When the history of the Great Nor.
thern railroad is written the story of
the st. Cloud shops and how the
James J. Hill Veterans stood by the
Great Northern railroad will be one
of the bright pages.
Headed by Superintendent Fred c.
Lindt SIT men are today working in
the st. Cloud shO.;s. This is more
than 100 per cent normal because $50
is the average number employed in
these shops while last winter the av-
erage was 534.
I'VE are James J. Hill Veterans"
said William Lueck who has been with
che road for 3S years, "and we are
satisfied and we think we owe some
thing to the people that have treated
as fair for many years and that is why
we are working"
Peter Zierten, 80 year veteran and
John Glinski who has 26 years to his
credit said they had always been treat
ed we'll and expected the Great Nor
thern in the future would treat them
fairly.

Rugby Tribune: The nonpartisan
league candidate for governor of
South Dakota, who, by the way, is
lady, wired a long telegram to Presi-
dent Harding giving her views and
presumably the views of the party she
represents, on the strike situation,
with regard to the coal mines and
railroads.. The main point in her
plea was this:
We urge that the government
take over the ownership of the
coal mines and the railroads and
pay the strikers what they de-
mand.
That is a plea that no doubt meets
with the approval of the farmers Of
the United States, whom the league
was supposed to represent, primarily.
It will no doubt make big hit with
them. What makes this suggestion
the more startling, is the fact that
after all of these weeks Of wrangling,
a. simple way out like this should
come from mere woman! Why
hasn't some bright politician thought
of that before, or, having thought of
it, expressed it in such understandable
form? The more one deliberates over
the suggestion, the clearer it becomes
that it is one of the simplest and
most thoroughly, pleasing methods
that could be, devised, and so simple!
Why, it's just like swapping ones fin
gers, and presto! everything is set
tied. And the beauty Of it is, it can
be followed down the line clear to the
end, and everybody can be satisfied
and made happy! The government

Just prior to the time he was par
doned from the federal prison at At

day, and referring to the riots at Her.
rim, ILL.,, where more than 40 men were
murdered in most shocking. manner,
Comrade Debs said "there has been
some slight disorder and few scabs
have been hurt" That is not the
statement of "Christian man" and
if the UnitediStates government wish
ed to do so, they could perform a
Christian act by slamming Gene back
in the federal prison again and keep
him there for the rest of his life.
That is the only way in which the
Harding administration will be able
to remove the blot on the republican
party which it placed there by giving
this "Christian old man" his liberty.
