OF INTEREST TO EVERY
AUDUBON Co. FARMER

The squabble over the eight-hour
law has not yet been settled. One
of its new features is that farme ers'
organizations generally are walking
UP and protesting in no uncer-
tain terms against the Great Hold
UP, of which it was planned that
they should be the victims. The
Grange, which is perhaps the larg-
est and most powerful, recently
went on record most emphatically
in this respect, and others are
following suit.
Farm papers, too, are entering g
the fight, SO there seems some
prospect finally that the cause of
the farmers will be heard even
though the sound be faint, not to
say almost, inaudible.
Wallace's Farmer, which is one
of the soundest and most sensible
farm papers i'm the world, is taking
its stand sQuarely on the PROPOSE
tion that "the presidents method
of stopping the strike was to
force the railroads to- pay in
who pay the freight bear the bur
den"
This will have familiar ring to
Journal readers, especially when
they remember that ''the people
who pay the freight" are for the
most part the farmers.
In view of the TACT that the in
terests of the farmers seen to. be
receiving scant consideration in
Washington, Wa.lace's Farmer then
makes splendid suggestion as
follows:
Every reader OF Wa.lace's farm
er has a very direct interest i'm
| this matter and we suggest that
every one OF them write four let
tes: ONE to President Wilson, re.
questing him to use his influence
to secure the inactmsnts of a law
which will compel arbitration in
such matters, and one to each OF
the senators from his state and
one to the congressman from his
! distNict urging the same thing
The Journal wishes to add its
heartfelt Amen" to- this suggest
ion 1t urges its readers to act in
like manner. No one in Congress
seems to be speaking for the farm
ers in congress this winter, and ii
is high time that our lawmakers
there we're hearing from their com
stituents back home.
Lest they FORGET.

Jail were examined this morning and
discharged. The authorities decided
they were only dazed wanderers or
persons who had been curious.
Detonations continued throughout
the forenoon. Occasionally three-inch
shells exploded and frequently smaller
ones and the police kept persons from
entering the danger zone. Thousands
of unexploded shells lay on the
ground.
Search For Victims
On the chance that employees in
jured and suffering from exposure
might be lying on the Hackensacx
meadows. across which many fleeing
persons made their escape after nu-
merous hardships, policemen in hip
boots were detailed to make a search.
1t was considered possible that a num-
Der of the persons reported missing
may have drowned in the meadow
streams. Meanwhile returning fami-
lies now homeless were provided with
food and coffee in schools and other
shelters.
w. Il. Hardness. superintendent of
the munition works. said he believed
there was no loss of life. He did not
know how the fire started. he said,
nor could he estimate the damage.

shells. These magazines are situated
in remote quarter of the enclosure
and carefully protected.
Houses and Plants Shellcd
|, Although the country Immediately
surrounding the plant was subjected
the damage was not as great as had
been feared, owing to the fact that the
shells were not equipped with deto-
mating fuses until they reached Russia.
For this reason the projectiles came
down like solid shots and did not ex-
plode.
The hundreds OF families which fed
from Kingsland began their return to
their homes this morning. They en-
tered desolate village. Many of the
houses were so shell-riddled that they
were not tenantable. The police au-
thorities lifted the dead line they had
thrown around the residence section
in an effort to prevent looting and as
sisted the returning townsmen in put
ting their households in order. Some
of the dwellings appeared ruined he
yond repair. Many of those who ran
for safety spent the night huddled un-
comfortably in churches and schools.
The shops of the Delaware Laeka-
wanna and Western Railroad in the
vicinity of the munition plant. were
badly damaged. Shells ralned into
them, running machinery and equip
ment.
Reports of looting proved uppar-
emily unfounded. Twenty EIGHT men
arrested within the police lines and
who spent the night in the KinRsland
