Serious Problem Confronting Farmers.
Says an exchange with much {
truth and sOberness:

Says an exchange with much of
truth and soberness:
Farmers in many sections of the
country are beginning to face the
usual serious proposition of scarci-
ty of help in the cultivating and har-
vesting of their crops. Notwith-
standing advertisements are run in
the city papers daily asking for hired
help, the demand is twice the sup
ply. Men who are idle in the city
seem to have no desire to 60 to the
farms for work, regardless of the
fact that good home, plenty to eat
and reasonable pay awaits them.
And majority of people lose sight
of the principal reason for this state
of affairs. The fault to a great ex-
tent lies with the young farmers
themselves. AS rule as soon as
they attain their majority the first
thing they think of is to rush to the
cities, where, in the minds of many
OF them, money is plentiful and a
gay life awaits them. This reduces
the force Oh the farms and in itself
prevents young men from the over
crowded cities seeking homes in the
country. 1t is hardly to be expected
that men from the cities will take
kindly to farm life when young men
who have been reared as farmers
rush off to the cities. The remedy
lies with U.S. Let us make our home
life desirable to our young men. En-
courage them in their work and offer
them every inducement possible.
The labor of son is far more profit
able to the sire than the labor of in
experienced men from the city. And
our young men have better oppor-
tunity of making a name by remain
ing at home and using industry and
thrift than they have in rushing off
to the city and becoming a nonenity
in a place where there are ten men
for every opening. Tie farm is the
best place after all.

WHAT MITCHELL SAYS
Claims Mine Workers. Union Was
Recoonized Bv Commission.

Claims Mine Workers. Union Was
Recognized BY Commission.
Indianapolis, June 5.-With regard
to the probability of a resumption OF
the strike in the anthracite region OF
Pennsylvania, President John Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers, was un-
willing to make any statement. Con-
cerning the chief point to the con-
troversy that now seems likely to pro-
woke a renewal of hostilities, whether
or not the men selected by the min
ers' organization should be members
of the board of conciliation as author
lied by the board of arbitration, he
said:
The statement that the question OF
recognizing the United Mine Workers
was never submitted to the strike
commission Is entirely untrue. That
was one of the important awards in
miners organization, which, Of course,
is the United Mine Workers, should
have three representatives on the
board of conciliation, one for each dis
trict.' Naturally, l appeared for the
anthracite coal workers before the
strike commission, but It was as presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers that
l was given the right to do SO. The
argument of District President Fahy.
in which he says that it would be
logical for US to demand that each
stockholder of the coal companies be
consulted with regard to the selection
of the operators members of the
board of conciliation, as that all the
miners in the region vote on the men
to represent them, Is very sensible.
However, the award of the strike COM
mission specifically provides for that
1T is true that coHiitions In the
Wyoming valley are very bad. Our
reports are to the effect that the men
are compelled to work on Sundays,
and that in few particulars have the
operators lived up to the decisions Of
the strike commission. No, do not
wish to anticipate the possibilities Of
another strike"

The situation shows improvement ON
almost every side; the waters are

erations today. the gas has been turn
ed into the mains once more, and
there Is no immediate danger of
serious shortage of food. The city
has cared for her own and is abun-
dantly able to do SO still. but there is
not sufficient food on hand to permit
the relief committee and the municipal
officers to feel easy over the outlook.
The provisions from outside will be
cordially welcomed, and while there
is no dire necessity, there Is urgent
need. The transportation facilities at
the present time are so limited that
not much freight can be brought in
at a time. and there is danger that
the demand may outrun the supply
unless the stock on hand is speedily
replenished from the outside.

Lawrence, Kan. June 1.-The water

the people have all gone to high ground
and are safe. The river is six to seven
miles wide here. Hundreds of homes
have been carried down the river.
There are only two or three smaII spots
on the north side not under water,
and most of the 5000 people over there
are homeless and have lost all their
personal property. There has been
much loss OF live stock.

Strike = Operators Issue q State
ment.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 4. - In the
morning session of the three anthracite
boards Of the United Mine Workers
there was little done outside Of out
lining plans as to what course was best
to pursue. In the afternoon they met
again, when they decided to hold .
joint convention of miners at Potts
vile on June Is. for the purpose Of
determining whether or not a general
suspension Of work shall be declared
No statement was made by them out
side of the bare announcement Of the
decision to hold joint convention.
The following statement was given
out as the operators side Of the con-
troversy caused by the refusal of the
operators representatives on the con-
ciliation board to accept the represen-
tatives Of the United Mine Workers:
Referring to the official announce
ment of the representatives Of the
United Mine Workers of America, the
contention of the operators represen-
tatives elected to the board of concil-
iation Is that the recognition Of the
United Mine Workers Of America was
not one of the questions submitted to
the commission for decision; that Mr..
Mitchell admitted this by appearing
before the commission simply as a rep
resenLative of the Anthracite Mine
Workers; that the award Of the COM
mission specifically asserted that the
recognition of the United Mine Work
ers of America. as at present tonsti-
tuted, was inadvisable; that award No.
4, providing for the board Of concilia-
tion, lays down certain rules for the
appointment of members of said board.
The representatives of the opera
tors have been appointed strictly with
in the terms of said award, and there
is no objection on their part to cor
daily accepting Messrs. Nichols, Det-
trey and Fahy as the representatives
Of Tie miners. providing they are elect
ed by a majority of the mine workers
as specified in the award of the COM
mission. The objection is solely
against their appearing as the official
representatives of the United Mine
Workers of America, appointed by an
executive committee without authority
for such appointment.
The operators representatives feel
that it is highly important that the
L. Ill AfNv,
be accepted by both interested parties
as strictly in accordance with the
award of the commission, in ord@r that
it's rulings may be received without
question and not be open to the criti-
cism of having been made by a board
not fully qualified to act"

by the local Woodmen's entertainment
committee this afternoon in the auditorium
of the Claypool. The reception will be at
tended by the leaders of all the Indianapo-
lis business and commercial institutions.
The invitation committee failed to send
out invitations to many of the prominent
citizens, and the impression is somewhat

is to be strictly a Woodmen affair. But
this is not the case, and Secretary Lewis A.

those who will inhabit the tented city of the
Modern Woodmen of America, will come
all in one day. Last night about fifteen
companies or camps, as they call them
selves, slept in Camp Reece. There will
be many Foresters here by tomorrow
morning, at the latest, that the capacity
of the camp. in regard TO sleeping quarters
will be tested severely. Major General
Mitchell says there will be at least two
brigades here, which will be more than
twice the number which attended the en-
campment at st. Paul.
VARI-COLORED UNIFORMS.
Unlike military camp, there will be uni
forms OF almost every color in Camp
Reece-from the pure white duck to the
red. green, blue and brown. The members
of no two of the camps will be uniformed
alike and this will make the drill spectacles
the most interesting and picturesque ever
seen in Indianapolis.
The Foresters drill manual provided no
technical instruction for battalion drills
and the three battalion drill trophies will
be awarded upon comparative excellence
in battalion drill work under the United
States army drill regulations. Three off,
GERS from the United States army will
judge the drills. The drills Will begin to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock and will
be completed Wednesday. evening.
A memorial exercise in honor of the
memory of the late Major General j. r.
Reece will be held in front of general head
quarters at noon Tomorrow The late
Major General Reece was formerly COM
mander of the Woodmen ForeSters of
America. The widow of the late Major
General Reece will be the guest of Major
General Mitchell upon this occasion. The
exercises will be simple throughout. The
staff and line officers will assemble at the
foot of the flagstaff in front of general
headquarters, standing and at attention,
upon the sounding of the Assembly by
the bugle corps of sixteen men. The colors
will then be lowered TO half-mast while the
Fort Dodge Ua.) Military Band plays a
dirge. The colors will remain at half-mast
one hour after which they will again be
restored to full-mast.
A camp postoffice will be established in
the general headquarters this morning and
will be in charge of Major De Lestry, of
Minnesota. The camp will have three de-
