FORMATION RIVAL
 FEDERATION LIKELY
Gigantic Split in Labor World Alp. pears Imminent as Result of At. tempts to Imbue Federation
 With Socialism.

New York, Aug. 21.-One hundred thousand members of 36 Hebrew labor unions which refused to obey the mandate of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to expel the Amalga mated Clothing Workers of America. were suspended today by the central fed eration union.
 This action, taken by Gompers' order, was result. he said, of an attempt by East Side labor leaders. acting through the clothing workers, to imbue the federation with social ism
 According to Gompers. the activity of socialist leaders became so intense as to assume the appearance of a re- bellion within the federation, and to threaten seriously the welfare of that organization.
 Gompers always has been opposed to the domination of federation coun- cils by socialists, or 10 any union in the federation going on record. directly Or otherwise, as favorins socialism.
 A formal declaration of secession from the American federation and the formation of a rival federation, avowedly socialistic, is considered not unlikely.

 Faction by United States.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The hopes of the administration and Latin-Ameri- can cOnferees that their peace plan for Mexico would bear fruit, received a crushing setback today, when Gen. eral Obregon, the military leader of the constitutionalists, transmitted his reply to their appeal, and announced that he stood solidly behind General Carranza.

 With the laeders of the constitution alists thus aligning themselves solld- ly under the banner of their chief administration officials realize the big problem is to decide what shall be done with Carranza, who has so far refused to be party of any move ment looking to peace. Arrange ments are being made for the recon vening of the pan-American Mexican conference in New York, at which this momentous subject will be dis l cussed.

FORWARDING RIGA.
Having Disposed Of Fleet, Germans
 Attack City.

London, Aug. 21.--A Stockholm dis patch reports that the German Baltic fleet has defeated the Russian fleet in the Gulf of Riga and is now bonn barding Riga itself.
 The only official Russian informa- tion regarding the encounter is con- tained in statement of the Russian admiralty issued last night, saying:
 Strong forces of the German fleet have penetrated the Gulf of Riga. and fighting with our ships continues"
 The Russky Invalid of Petrugrad says the several small Russian ships were inside the gulf when the Ger mans entered, but it states that no large Russians ships were bottled up in the gulf. This is direct contra diction of reports from Copenhagen that several important units of the Russian fleet had been bottled up by the Germans, who had orders to de- stroy them to make possible the cap ture of Riga.

The retention of hogs in Arkansas rather than the sale of them to other states ct this time, is recommended by Dr. c. M. Morgan, agent of animal husbandry, United States Department Of Agriculture, who returned to Little Rock from a trip through north Ar kansas. Dr. Morgan said that one firm of stock buyers in Fulton Cou!- ty has shipped 10000 hogs to NortE- ern markets in the last two years.
 With bumper crop of corn farm CTS should keep every one of their hogs and if possible buy more," he said Cattle for feeding can be bought later but at the rate hogs ara being sold, they will be very scarce by the time the corn is harvested. The firm in Fulton County is only one of many in north Arkansas which handles hogs extensively. They have to lmmunize for cholera before they can be taken across the line into Mis- souri, and this causes the young and unfattened hogs to cost more to the farmer approximately than they would if fattened on the farm and then sold"

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
Of Course Young Mother Could Only Reason That the Fault Must Be
 With the Scales.

The story is told of a young mother who, after her first baby had been born, hurried to a hardware store to purchase a pair of scales, that she might be able to keep tabs on the re- markable growth of her first born.
 When she got them home and weighed the baby for the first time the little bunch of humanity did not quite measure up to her expectations and she promptly carried the scales back, stating that they were not satisfac- tory. Asked by the storekeeper what the difficulty was, she replied:
 T think the scales are not right. My baby did not weigh as much as think she ought to-"
 Did it ever occur to you," asked the hard-hearted seller of hardware, that the fault might be with the baby and not the scales?"
 She saw the point and kept the scales.-Brockton Enterprise.

PEARL|NG INDUSTRY
 SUFFERS FROM WAR
UTARiES SHOW BIG DECLINE IN ACTIVITY.
DECREASE OF 100 PER CENT
ell Classes of People Have Been En gagged in Pearl Fishing, Many
 For Recreation Only.

Calico Rock As an almost direct result of tor eign wars and slumps in foreign trade, no industry common to this country has suffered to as great a degree dur ing the past several months as has the pearling industry of the White River country, which fact is well es. tablished when the viewer of com mercial conditions directs his scrutiny toward making a comparison of this years work to the operations of the summer of 1914. For many years, since this particular class of trade was launched in this state, White River and its tributaries have been furnishing no little volume of busi. ness toward the general trade and traffic of pearls and shells, not only ill the United States, but foreign coun- tries as well, and are considered the principal source from which the most valuable fresh water pearls come ill the United States.
 In making the comparison with last years operations, 100 per cent is the decrease for this year, which, of course, would leave the established fact that no work of this nature is being carried on this year in the way of digging for the pearl-bearing shells.
