CRYING FOR HAsvEsreas.


onemptoyed Men for Kansas Grair
Fields Hard to Find.
Topeka, Kan, June 19.-Kansss il
sending out the strongest appeal OF bel
history for men to xork 10 the harvest
fields. The difficulties of the last few
years getting help to gather the wheat
before it becomes dead ripe and scstterr
in the gathering will be intensified this
year II the advance signs are token Of
what is to come.
At least rs COO more men than arc in
sight now will be needed. and desperate
measures will be adopted to draft men
into the service behind the self binders.
Composition for labor Is stronger this
year than ever before. There seems to
be no idle men anywhere.
Appeals have been addressed to the
employment agencies in Chicago, St.
Louis and other large industrial CEN
tiers. The answer has come back in ST.
most every instance that it is inpossi.
BILE to Ill the orders.
Factories are running At full capacity
All over the country. Building opera
tions are going on on scale exceeding
anything Of the kind in past years.
These activities, In addition to the
many pab.ie imprev7 ments that are in
progress, have sbsortsd the bulk OF the
labor OF the county, skilled and un-
skilled.
State Frec Employment Agent Gerow
holds that number OF railroads are
largely to blame for the shortage OF
harvest hands. He says the railroads
need every man they can get TO COM
plete their own work, and for this rea-
son have refused to grant the cent
mile passenger rate that is usually made
Tor the harvest hands. They fear, II Is
seid, that the call from the wheat
fields, with the attractive wages, will |
draw away their lsborers, who get only |
u 20 for working on tracks.
The Rock Island and Union Pacific
have given the harvesters' rate, but
the other lines are obdurate.
There will be no room for complaint
On account OF compensation. The farm
'rs, II need be, will pay as high as IS |
dsJ for good men. The ordinary
wage will be 81 to $3.50. Board and
odging are also given. Farmers will
cooperate with each other, and there
will be less stealing OF the hands OF
'thers than In past years.
The hst has gone out unofficially that
here must be no able bodied men in
Kansas at harvest time. The loafer
Who can work will be obliged to toll or
cave the state. Local authorities in
titles and towns hitherto have cooper
ted with the agriculturists In enlisting
he whole available force for field work.
They will do go again this year.
Present indications are that Kansas
will harvest SO, 900, 000 bushels of
wheat. The usurl migration from the
'exas and Oklahoma fields will recur
bis year, but this source oil aid Of
tseli will not be sufficient.

San Francisco, June 16.--The official

The insurance companies which refuse

Losses in full will not only be driven
from the state, but ruined before the
world. II the widest publication OF their

sursnce Commissioner E. Marion Wolf
ia backed by Attorney General Webb.
The attorney general expressed himself
forcefully today regarding the PROPOSE
ton made by so companies at meet
ing in Oakland Tuesday to pay only 70
DER cent OF adjusted Losses.
"Upder the law OF California" he
said. "the state insurance commission
or can revoke the license Of any insur-
ance company for the state when there
is cause. Certainly the payment OF
only rs per cent of losses would be
cause. And not only would it be proof
Of unsoundness and unftness to do
business, but it will be the plainest
evidence OF dishonesty. 1t would be
cause for the commissioner to revoke
the state license OF any company stand
ing for such proposition, and | know
that Mr.. Wolf, whose heart is in the
situation, will take such action toward
companies that enter such an agree
ment.
"This is the limit Of his power OF
under the California law,
but he can go much further. The in
surance commissioners OF all the states
stand together. Through them, Com
missioner Wolf can advertise to all the
world the dishonesty Of the companies
that refuse to meet their obligations.
| am certain that he will use that pow
or against those that give him cause"
There was no change today in the
alignment Of insurance companies on
The proposition to make general %
per cent cut, but the companies that
voted for full payment still hope to
win over many of those that took the
stand for percentage settlement.
