LOUD CRY FOR MEN
TO HARVEST WHEAT
Farmers clamoring for $4,000
Laborers-College Men Are
Sought for the Work.

WASHINGTON, June S.-With a
banner wheat crop of 100000, 900 BUSH
els almost ready for harvest in tho
United States this year, the farmers
of Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, ok
lahoma and other Middle and Far
Western States are clamoring for
3d. 900 laborers to bring home this
great harvest.
One of the first things the wheat
farmers did after learning of the
tremendous quantity of wheat which
will be harvested this summer, was
to turn to the federal department of
labor for assistance in getting help.
Already the department has posted
notices, offering jobs to harvest
hands, in all the first, second and
third-class postoffices of the country.
T. " Powderly, chief of the division
of information, Is the man who has
been selected by Secretary Wilson to
handle this great problem for the
wheat farmers of the country. 1t Is
Powderlys task to gather together
nearly 100000 men, who are willing to
go into the wheat fields of the West
and earn from $3.50 to So a day, for a
Powderly was not at all ratified"
when he received this order. He has
been gathering together armies of
harvest hands for years and he
knows the best ways to accomplish
his task.
Year after year college students all
over the country play an important
part in the harvesting of the national
wheat crop. These college men usu-
ally finish their school year shortly
before the harvesting of the wheat
begins, and from the student ranks
of the country is annually recruited
the major portion of the harvest
hands.
In the Middle West the wheat is
harvested by scores of ordinary bind
ers, dropped behind the machines in
sheaves, which must be gathered and
Shocked to preserve the grain trcsn
water.
A handicap is the inability of the
under the law, to guar
antee to the laborer his railroad fare
to and from his place of employment.
This matter, it is said, eventually will
be brought to the attention of Con-
gress and a provision made for the
TRANSFORMATION of these men, the gov
eminent afterward being reimbursed
by the wheat farmer, who subtracts
the cost of the laborers transporta-
ton from his wages.
James Eads Howe, sometimes
called 1.-The millionaire hobo wants
Congress to organize and enlist an
army" of the United
States, and officials of the depart
ment admit that if the United states
had an industrial army of men, en-
listed and paid by the government
the wheat farmers of the West would
gather fewer gray hairs around har-
