More harvest hands are arriving in

prospects for getting work in the

hearing the report from this source
that he would get job at his trade

to 60 broke in Kansas, he said.
The lone arrival this morning said
that the need for harvest hands in

in the newspapers of his town. He
said that you couldn't blame the men
for falling" for the game. The Y. NJ.
c. A. even was exploiting the matter.
he said, and that in Cincinnati 1t was
an easy deal to pick up men who like
the idea Of coming west and making
their fortunes in the fields.
It was suggested to the young man
that perhaps some Of the cities which
have been so widely advertising the
harvest hand proposition have had a
crowd Of unemployed that they have
been attempting to ship west. He did
not take this view, however.
While the factories wera not run

WILSON BACKS UP CARRAN-
IA.
United Press Dispatch.

Washington, d. c., June 2. -
The Administration has given
it to be understood that the
Constitutionalists must be con-
sidered in any pacification plan
decided upon for Mexico in
which the United States has a
responsible part, despite the re-
ported objections of the mediat-
ors to this stand.
This unalterable stand of the
administration was taken today,
and the American representa-
tives to the mediation confer
ence were instructed to stand
firmly to the contention that any
agreement reached must con-
slider the Constitutionalists as a
factor.
The mediators and not the y. S.
must be responsible for
any failure to include Carranza.

Carranza and the mediators the
