KANSAS WANTS HARVEST HANDS.
Gov Hoch Says Much Grain VIII he Lost
Unless 5000 Men Appear.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Eight thousand har-
vest hands are needed in Kansas at once,
according to Gov. Hoch in an appeal tele-
graphed to w. j. Black, traffic manager Of
the Santa Fe Railroad, and to E. E.
Mcleod, chairman of the Western Passen-
ger Association. The appeal follows:
Kansas must have 5000 harvest hands
within a week or much grain will be lost.
We need cheap rates. Iappeal for help"
1t is commended by Chicago railroad
officials that practically nothing can be
done here. Reduced fares west of the
Missouri River already have been given
to parties Of five or more, and inasmuch as
labor is extremely scarce in Chicago and
is employed by the railroads as fast as it
can be obtained the outlook for local as
~sistanoe is called gloomy.
b s. B. Briefly, an employment agent, says
Kansas must look elsewhere for labor, as
there is hone to be obtained in Chicago.
Labor is in great demand and unions
are no longer needed to keep up wages
said Mr.. Briefly. Kansas cannot give
laborers enough wages to get them to go
out there. Chicago is a Door place to come
