Washington, May 19.--President
Wilson, In statement tonight out
lining the administrations food con-
troll policy, announced he had asked
Herbert G. Hoover to become Amer
lean food administrator and that Mr..
Hoover would accept the place.
A statement given out by Mr..
Hoover after the White House an
nouncement was made gave his plans
for food administration and called
on the country to render voluntary
assistance In carrying it out.
Explaining that 1t is absolutely
necessary to vest unquestionable
powers in the government, the presi-
dent declared he is confident that
exercise of the authority granted will
be necessary only "in the few cases
ity proves unwilling to put the
nations interests above personal
advantage" He makes 1t clear that
the food administration is only for
an emergency situation and that
since it will be CON posed for the
most part of volunteers there need
be no fear of the possibility of a
permanent bureaucracy arising out
of it."
Hoovcr's Plan Outlined.
Mr.. Hoover proposed that the food
administration be divided into four
great branches whose duJies he de-
fined in detail. Most of the work
would be carried out by men and
women of the country on a volun-
teer basis.
'If this cannot be done.' Mr..
Hoover's statement says, 81 shall cer-
tainly and willingly surrender the
task to some other method Of
emergency. I hold that democracy

GOMPERS WANTS
REPRESENTATION
ON ALL BOARDS
Union Champion Explains How
Draft Is Applied in Work.
ingmen's Organizations Of
Great Britain.

Washington, May 19.-Exemption
from army conscription for workers
necessary for munitions manufacture
and for production of articles needed
to maintain the civilian population
was urged by Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor in statement today pointing
to Great Britains mistake in taking
into the fighting forces thousands OF
men who afterward had to be returned
to the manufacturing industries.
1.-The fundamental demand which
labor makes in connection with the
conscription act" said Mr.. Gompers,
"is that representatives of wage
earners must be upon every board, ma
tional, state and local, which has to
do with the administration of the law.
This demand is in accord with the
methods found necessary in Great
Britain and Is founded upon justice
and democracy. The wage earners
will be vitally affected by selective
conscription and they ought to have
representatives in such strategic po-
sitions.
Labor Patriotic.
"The spirit of labor in the nations
emergency has been generous and pa
triotic. They must be met in the
same spirit Of fairness and co-opera-
ton by both the government and the
employers that the ideals Of our re-
public may be maintained in the con-
test in which we are engaged"
Mr.. Gompers called attention to
Great Britain's exemption of labor
leaders from military service.
when in Great Britain the ques-
ton of the exemption of individuals in
a particular trade arises, due to the
changes in working arrangements in
the establishment, the last person en-
ployed Is the one to be released for
military service" he said. This SIM
pie regulation has prevented what
otherwise might work a great hard
ship upon the labor organization, for
all workers are familiar with the in
genuity with which employers can
find reasons for discharging those
who are active in the labor movement.
If there were no such provisions all
undesirable labor leaders would be
drafted at once into the military serv-
ice."

| sonable profit to the producers and
let congress pass a law saying that
the government will pay the price.
While the farmers Of the nation
are as patriotic as any other class,
they naturally hesitate so to increase
their cereal acreage that the market
will be glutted and prices fall below
the profit point OF course, with
world food conditions as they are
there would be no danger of this,
even if the cereal production in~this
country were doubled this year.
But the American farmer doesn't
know this, and it is doubtful whether
in the short time which viii elapse
between now and the planting sea-
son it can. be made clear to him.
If he were told that the govern
ment will guarantee him $3.50 a
bushel for wheat, so much a bushel
for oats, NcoTn, ETC., he would have a
selfish as well as a patriotic motive
to induce him to do what the govern
ment is now urging him to do.

FORCE LANDS INTO USE.-Her-
bert Quick of the federal farm loan
board says it is foolish to urge plow-
ing up lawns and tennis courts for
vegetable gardens when fully 40 per
cent of the arabic land in the United
States is Uncultivated. This, says
he, is like urging all the old ladies to
knit sweaters while permitting scores
of textile mills TO remain idle.
Production, says Quick, lis held
back and wise cultivation prohibited
because Of the enormous increase in
land values due to the buying and
holding of farm land as a specula-
ton.
"The time is always opportune,"
he says, for urging a federal tax on
land values, and especially now when
war revendes are to be raised. We
ought to take in taxation some of
these speculative values and, Incl
dentaIly, force these lands-into use.
This would do more to help the food
situation and answer the revenue
question than anything else we pos
Eibly can do"
THE FARMER. = One very effec-
tive way for the government to in

waited some time longer for q
freight but before it arrived they
learned Of a washout on the Mil.

could get through.
They then went to Missoula and
caught the Northern Pacific and
went to Spokane arriving there Tues
day evening. He came out Il
