Effect on Women of Drag ging Cotton Sacks at Cot ton Picking Season ln- vestigatcd by Industrial Relations Commission
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

DALLAS, March 19.-The effect on the health of white women on the tenant farms from dragging cotton sacks in the fields at cotton picking season. was investigated by Mrs. Bor
 den Hartman Of the federal commis- sion on industrial relations at the hearing on the land problems. Ques-
 tions by Mrs. Hartman drew from
 W. l.. Thurman, who said he practic-
 ed medicine in the southwest, and is
 now a lecturer in Oklahoma. the statements that the health of many
 women was ruined by this work. He
 also stated that sometimes the wom
 en did their work until nea- the time
 their children were born. which was
 very detrimental to the children ". F. Yeary. who farms two thOus- and acres and has banking interests
 in Texas, said it is mistaken idea that the tenant farmers were shift less as class. He said they were highly skilled in cotton raising. Wit nesses ascribed some of the migrs - tory tendency of tenants to the speculative fever of farmers This,
  terested in the chances to buy and sell land than in improving crops
 and farm conditions IL was said about one-third of the farmers who
 borrow money in Texas, pay more 1 than the legal rate of interest. Consideration of the big farms. cov- ering a county in area was not
 reached by the commission today. It will be taken up at the closing ses- sion tomorrow.
 Professor J. C. Granbury of the l department of economies. of the Southwestern University of George l town. Texas testified that country preachers live in world entirely different from that of the tenants,
 especially those tenants advancing
 socialistic doctrines, thereby missing
 opportunities to help settle the ten ant problems.
 1 W. $. Noble of Rockdale. Texas. national secretary of the Land l League a tenant farmer organization. 1 explained that from his point of view, the economic situation rather
 than the land owners is responsible I for the almost universal pressure to get children on tenant farms because 1 of their labor value.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

NEW YORK, March 19-Richard Stegler. German naval reservist. plead
 ed guilty to conspirlng against the United States to obtain false passport and was sentenced to sixty days in jail. Richard Madden and Gustave Cook, al legged to be his accomplices were found guilty yesterday and sentenced to ten months. Stesler's counsel declared all three were merely puppets for an arch conspiratOr. d representative of the German government immune from ar
 rest. No ention. though of the name of the representative of the German gov ernment was made
 Judge Cushman in sentencing Stegler said he would take into consideration the fact he had made a clean breast of his part in the conspiracy but said:
 Since at this time there is large foreign born population which still ap- parently shows its allegiance to foreign governments, something should be done to discourage acts of this kind. It would not do to send him out from here sootfroe and let him pose as hero. Attorney for Stegler said his client went to the representative of his gov ernment after losing his position in an export house for help. There the plan was suggested to him to get a passport l and to go to England as spy. Money i was given him to get passport to- 1 gether with recommendations from l firms in the United States to firms in I England to carry out the scheme. Steg- ] Ter, the attorney continued was ready 1 to go, but wanted written assurances i that in case he met death his wife would he provided for.
 He gave up the plan" MT. Griffiths l declared, "because he could not get the 1 written assurances. The representa- : ! tive of the German government then l offered him work around the harbors and docks. This representative, is on
 account of his position. immune from arrest. If he were not, l could show ! that Stegler was led on by this person
