No labor trouble of any serious na ture has appeared as yet at Cainp Dodge, although dispatches from New York state threats have been made that every union man engaged on government work would strike within a few days unless demands of the car penters' union for a closed shop were met. The contractors at Camp Dodge have employed both union and non union men. About ou per cental the men are union members. Several la bor agitators have been at work at the camp, but their efforts at sedition so far have beer, unsuccessful. Young farm workers whose services are necessary to gather crops will be given more time ty the government before being required to enter the national army under the first draft, according to a ruling soon to be sent out by General Crowder. This ruling will permit local boards to exercise their discretion in calling out farmers for the first contingent and will au thorize the exemption boards to use their own judgment in this respect. It will not permit men to stay on the farms, however, until after the corn is husked. jwuww-ORCHARD & WILHELM CO..
