TOMATO CHOP MOW INTO IK HAUTE

Great Activity at Packing Plants When Long Trains of Wagons Reach Place.

There's a hustle and a bustle at the Loudon packing plant in South Third i street these days for farmers are beginning to pour in their share of the tomato crop of Vigo and surrounding counties.

The real summer activity at the plant began last week when the first load of the home grown tomatoes were brought to the plant to bo manufactured into catsup. The Loudon Packing company has extended its contracts for this season's crops of tomatoes until 2,200 acres of tomatoes have been contracted for. Almost every farmer in a radius of 25 miles of Terre Haute has contracted to sell his tomato crop to the local packing firm this year. This year's crop of tomatoes, according to officials of the 1 Loudon plant, promises to be a bumper

one, far excelling the 1915 crop which proved to be below the average. The contracts held by the Loudon company for tomatoes involve many thousands of dollars

the farmers of Vigo and

other counties. "The real activity of our plant began last week," said Charles L. Loudon, president of the Loudon Packing company, "When the first load of the home grown tomatoes was brought to our plant. The plant will soon obtain enough tomatoes to run uninterrupted until the Christmas holidays and will again resume activity following the hoildays. Prospects are bright this year for a bumper crop of tomatoes in the surrounding territory. We nave contracted with almost every rarmer in the surrounding territory for his tomato crop this year. We have extended our contracts to cover 2,200 acres of surrounding land."

The products of the Loudon company are shipped to almost every point in North America. Citizens of Portland, Me., and Portland, Ore., and Montreal, Canada, and New Orleans, La., eat the products of the local plant.

Many new employes have been added at the plant in the last few days, and more will be added as the tomato crop is harvested.

DAMP, LOW PRESSURE WEATHER MENU TODAY

With Showers for Dessert, if Doctor Cade Has Got the Right Connection.

Terre Haute and vicinity was visited by a heavy rain Monday night, the precipitation. recorded at the United States weather burfau being 1.49 inches at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. Meteorologist W. R. Cade predicted that there would be more rain Tuesday and Wednesday, giving this vicinity plenty of water. As a result of the recent rains the river had reached a stage of 1.8 feet Tuesday morning and was rising.

Monday was the cbolest day that has been experienced in this vicinity since June 21 and was an exceptional August day, the average temperature being 63V4 degrees. The maximum temperature recorded for Monday was 73 degrees and the minimum temperature 5+ degrees.

In connection with the probable showers for Tuesday and Wednesday Mr. Cade predicted somewhat warmer weather, owing to the fact that the high pressure area which brought the cool wave to Terre Haute is giving away to a low pressure area which will be accompanied by a rise in temperature.

ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION FAILURE, DECLARE MINERS

Say Colorado Conditions Are Better But Publicity Did This.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col., Aug. 15. —A wide range of labor topics is dealt with in the annual report of John McLennan, president of the Colorado Federation of Labor, submitted to the convention of the federation here today.

The ^so-called "Rockefeller industrial plan" adopted by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. is declared to be an "unqualified failure." The industrial commission and workmen's compensation laws of Colorado are severely criticised in some respects and praised in others. Conditions in the coal mining fields are reviewed and a glowing report is given of the growth of unionism in the state and legislation deemed necessary is outlined.

Referring to the effects of the recent coal strike, President McLennan says conditions have been improved but declares these improvements are due not to the Rockefeller plan, but the result of publicity gained during the strike.

wages at both plants, and a little later when business conditions indicated this could be done safely, they made a second voluntary increase in the wages at both plants, making their wages the highest of any exclusive building tile manufacturers in this section of the country, running as high as forty cents per hour with an average of 25 cents per hour. "Several weeks after the Brazil strike had started, a number of the employes, including some of the present strike leaders, assured the company that they were satisfied, and would stand by the company in. case the labor organizers from Brazil should attempt to cause dissatlsraction. However, two weeks ago last Friday when it was found that a few of these men who had promised loyalty had been persuaded to change their minds, the company closed both plants temporarily and paid its men off in full. A little later they found that a large

majority of their men wanted to continue work, and that the agitation included comparatively few of its former employes, most of those working to force the company into a union be ing coal miners, steam ahovel men and others not employed at its factories so they started both plants up with about half of the old employes who were willing to work in face of the threats made openly and shown in pub lished interviews. "Thic culminated Monday morning in the Anierican plant being picketed by a number of men, a majority of whom were miners and others not directly interested in the matter. A number of these blocked the public highway by obstructing the Sugar creek bridge on the National road, and crowding onto it in an attempt to hold up the superintendent who was ap r-roaching in his automobile with some of his employes, but he sounded his Klaxon and proceeded in his direct course with the result that a miner named Dave Borden, who blocked the highway longer than the others and v/ho had been active in the violence, was somewhat bruised. Cal Wilson, another miner, severely beat Wm. Meisner, who was attempting to go to bis work, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Three trespassers also entered the plant Sunday night and forced the producer man to leave his duties. In view of this and other violence, Judge John E. Cox issued an injunction naming miners, strikers and all others who were interfering, and restraining all interference with the clay company or its employes who desired to wefk. "The American plant alone during the past year paid $53,000 to its em ployes for labor and $20,835 for coal, a large share of which goes to the miners for labor, and it is fair to estimate that the four plants pay out directly and indirectly for labor in West Terre Haute a quarter of a million dollars annually, and it Is plain to see the effect on the community of\forcing these plants to close. "Competition with plaster block and other substitutes for hollow building tile makes it impossible to pay expenses with the plant under union conditions, so the plants will be compelled to close permanently rather than accede to these demands made in sympathy with the strike in the Brazil district. The clay company is willing to furnish work for all of its employes who desire to stay with them during the present opposition, and will continue to pay as high wages as the market conditions will allow, and intends to treat every employe fairly."

ADAIR LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN.

Declares for Prosperity and Continued Peace for Nation. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 15.— Representative J. A. M. Adair, democratic nominee for governor of Indiana, formally opened the democratic campaign in this city last night, in an address before the Irish-American Democratic club, in which he attacked republican policies and eulogized Wilson. He denounced the arguments of the republicans that the European war is responsible for the present industrial boom in the country. "We never had such prosperity before in this country, as we are having now," he declared. "The Underwood tariff is in a large measure responsible for this."

Mr. Adair urged that the strength of the republican party not be underestimated. He called attentidn to its financial backing, and said special interests are supporting the party. Former President Taft and tariff laws enacted by the republicans were criticised at length by the speaker.
