COTTON PICEERS IN DEMAND
FIELDS ARE FAST WHITENING
AND LABOR is SCARCE,
May Petition for Suspension of the
Anti-AIien Law, So That Next
cans May Be EMPLOYED,

HOUSTON, TeX.-Throughout the
cotton belt of south Texas and espe-
cially in the lower Rio Grande coun-
try a movement is under way to en-
list popular support of a petition
that may be presented the United
States government seeking the sus-
pension of the anti-aIien labor laws
until the bumper cotton crop of Tex
as is harvested.
Texas this year faces the usual
shortage of cotton pickers as the
time of harvest approaches. Fields
are fast whitening, prices are high,
and the planters are anxious to har-
vest the biggest crop in years. Yet
as harvest time approaches available
labor becomes more scarce, and it is
certain that by the time the picking
season is generally opened both white
and negro labor will be at pre-
MUM.
In the Rio Grande country where
the cotton first ripened labor is very
scarce, yet just across the Rio
Grande are thousands of persons who
would be very thankful to enter Tex
as cotton fields and pick the fleecy
staple. However, they are barred by
the operation of the anti-alien labor
laws. The available laborers by the
thousands are in Mexico, while the
waiting cotton fields are in Texas.
Only the Rio Grande and the federal
statute separate them.
On account of the recent revolu-
ton crops in Mexico this year are
short. Many of the fields were not
planted because of the war, while
fields in seed were deserted for the
revolt and have gone to ruin. There
is little work, and thousands of the
poorer classes of Mexicans are idle.
The persons behind the petition to
the United States government sug-
gest a suspension of the contract la
Dor law during the cotton harvest
after which the labOrers would be re-
turned to their native country and
the cotton crop crop be harvested

LARGEST BAKERY IN WORLD.
Seventy WOrLmen Divided Into Two
Shifts Busy Night and Day.

Shifts Busy Night and Day.
The largest bakery in the world is
in Essen, Prussia, the home of the
great krupp gun factory. 1t is a
vast building in which 20 workmen,
divided into two shifts, work night
and day. Everything is done by
machinery. A screw turns unceas-
lngly kneading trough, into which
are poured some water and 10 sacks
OF flour of 200 pounds each.
This machine makes about 100000
pounds of bread each day in the
shape of of $4,000 small loaves, pro-
duced by 230 sacks of flour of 200
pounds each. All the operations of
bread making are performed in this
colossal bakery. The wheat arrives
there, is cleaned, ground and brought
automatically to the kneading trough
by series of rising and descending
pipes
There are SO double ovens and the
Workmen who watch over the baking
OF the bread earn from 8 to 10 cents
and hour, making an average of 80
cents day for II hours on duty,
explains the London Post. They
nave coffee and bread free.

The Inconsistency of the Consump-

ATLANTA.-Atlantians are still
marveling over the inconsistency of
5000 bottles of beer and
only a few paltry gallons of butter
milk for a Georgia legislature and
expecting it to vote for prohibition
Ways are suggesting at the capitol
that Macon's generous supply of the

by hospitality or with any hope of
influencing the moving of the capitol
to Macon, but solely to help the fight
Joe Hill Hall of Bibb is waging
against the Tippins bill.
Certain it is that if everybody who
smacked his lips over near beer in
Macon last week votes to let every
body else have the privilege of doing
likewise the Tippins bill is doomed.
Yet they say large majority of the
legislators are in favor Of the Tippins
bill. And yet again they say a large
majority of the legislators are in IA
vor of near beer for legislative con-

thing to figure on.

Navy Men Are Also Angry Because
Secretary Geo. L. Won Meyer Took

ETY. matron and miss among the
smart set has for several years been
jealous over the distinction acquired
by Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
when she made an underwater trip,
has angered the 400" leaders.
All Want to Get Under Water.
Most of the society women are now
insisting that the secretary should
suspend the naval regulations, which
heretofore have kept outsiders from
the bowels of the delicate subma-
rines, and place them all on an equal
ity with Mrs. Goelet
Officers of the service are highly
angered over the innovation. Not
only have women no place in subma-
rines, they insist, but submarines are
far from being pleasure craft. Every
time a submarine dives under the
water the crew risk their lives, and
the presence of outsiders who merely
want to "enjoy novel experience, 3"
the naval officers say, might distract
the attention Of the men operating
the craft to such an extent that the
safety of all might be endangered.
