Plan to Help Farmers.

Representative Burton L. French
has had up with Secretary OF Labor
Wilson the proposition suggested by
Jerome J. Day, OF Moscow, looking
TO an arrangement by the goveru-
ment with the metalliferous mine
producers OF the country by which.
during the greatest demand for agri.
cultural labor, such mines as can be
closed down, or run on partial SHIFT
shall do so, SO that their employees
may engage in farm work.
The arrangement contemplates
that the various purchasing boards
under the government shall authorize
a preference TO such mines 10 the
selling of their ore productions as
soon as they may resume work, sn
! that the sacrifice will fall on all
mines alike.
Mr.. French has been assured that
thru the various organizations OF the
labor department the mine owners
will be at once interviewed with the
view of bringing about this arrange
ment.
Mr.. Day estimates that In Idaho
alone two Thousand men could be
made available in this way for thu
relief of the farm labor difficulty.
