SEGY. WILSON PREDICTS MEN,
LESS JOBS IN NEAR FUTURE
Washington, June 11.-Menless
jobs instead of jobless men in the
very immediate future throughout
the United States were predicted by
Secretary of Labor Wilson, in sizing
up the labor outlook in a statement
today. The bumper wheat crop, re-
vival of the iron trade, with the con-
sequent stimulation of mining and
other associated industries and con-
tinued activity in the textile business,
are given by Wilson as his reasons
for prophesying prosperity with 'lots
of work"
Specific requests for more than So
900 men to help harvest bumper
wheat crops have already reached the
Department of Labor. Missouri alone
has asked for 10000 men. How to
get them West is the problem. AS
solution Secretary Wilson is planning
to negotiate with the railroads for
special excursions to the wheat belt
from Eastern cities, where the labor
might be obtained.
"Such plan would give thousands
of men in the East a chance to get a
rural vacation and make money while
taking it," said Secretary Wilson. ct
would also effectually solve the prob
lem of how to get men to harvest the
wheat.
western farmers are offering
from 81 to $3.50 day and board for
harvest helpers.
Whatever there is of nonemploy-
ment today is caused chiefly by the
depression of the iEpn, and steel in

WON BY RAILROADS.
Two Important Points Decided on
Personal Injury Suits.

Railroads won two important points in
personal injury suits today in the Su-
preme Court of the United States. The
first was when the court decided that
violation Of state laws was not to be
considered in action to recover for in
juries under the federal employers liza
bility law of 1908.
The latter act makes railroads abso-
lutely liable where they are violating a
"law'' at the time an employe is injured.
The court today decided that the word
law meant federal law" and not state
law.
On this holding i, set aside a Judgment
of 5000 rendered by the supreme court
of North Carolina in favor of James T.
Horton, an engineer on the Seaboard Air
Line.
The second point the court decided in
favor of railroads was that a man in
jured while engaged in switching intra-
state cars does not come within the fed
eral employers liability act simply be-
cause the next thing he intended to do
was an act of interstate commerce.
THE kind of commerce in which the
employee is engaged at the time of in
jury is the test said Justice Vande-
vanter.
AS a result of the decision on the latter
point, the court held that John Behrens
a fireman. injured while switching in
New Orleans. La. i'll 1869. was not EN-
titled to recover from TIE Illinois Cen
trail.
