FARMERS ROSE TO EMERGENCY.
What They Did to Win the War and
Save World From Starvation
Told by Houston.

Washington. Dec. 6.-In his annual
report, issued this afternoon, Secretary
of Agriculture Houston tells in brief
way how the farmers of America
helped to win the war and are saving
the world from starvation by marve-
lousy increased production of food
stuffs. He says that the wheat crop
for 1919 is estimated at n million bush
els over that of 1918, and that of corn
300, 0,00O,0 900 bushels over the last years
In meat production, also, the record
figure of last year will be exceeded,
and the same is probably true of milk,
eggs and poultry. Crop yields per acre,
says Mr.. Houston, show an upward
tendency, due largely TO better meth
DDS and better machinery
Among other recommendations made
by the secretary are: The building up
of system of personal credit unions
expansion of existing facilities and ac-
tivities for aiding farmers in market
ing; continuation of present policy of
federal participation in road building:
regulation and control of stockyards
and packing houses; protection of CON
sumers against misbranded and adul-
terated feeds and fertilizers Increased
support By states for rural schools, md
legislation for Improvement of sani-
tary conditions and medical facilities
in rural districts.

DANIELSON NAVY WORK
seeretary's Annual Report Relates at
Length the Fine Record of Our
Sea Forces.

Washington. Dec S.=The annual re-
port of Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
made public today, is long and chat
fy relation of the efficient work OF
the sea forces of the United States dur
ing the great war and since the sign
ing of the armistice Much space Is
devoted to the record made by the
navy In transporting troops to and
from Europe, and full credit is given
il for its excellent work in actual war
fare and In cleaning up the great mine
field which it had laid in the North

As for rehabilitation, Mr.. Daniels
believes this is being accomplished
without the sacrifice of national spir-
II. unity or force" He says:
Two fundamental principles have
been constantly borne in mind:
"OD There must be and there has
been no loss of adaptibllity to new and
expected issues. The readiness to hit
and to hit hard; which. won the plaud-
It's of the allies at the very outset,

conserving the power that enabled it,

ton in whole or in part. AS vast
machine, as II national organization, as
complex or interacting agencies, the
navy is in form and spirit a unity, not
a fraction
The story of naval aviation is long
and Interesting, but contains little that
| is not already matter of common
, knowledge. Like Secretary of War Ba-
ker, Mr.. Daniels Is opposed to the crea-
tion of n separate air service.
| Here is what the report says of Il
matter that has aroused considerable
public anxiety:
"The attraction of higher pay in the
| merchant marine has caused the navy
to lose many men, many petty officers,
and not a few warrant and commits
stoned officers. This has made it i'm
possible to fully man all the ships.
This loss has been greater than num-
bers indicate, because those who have
left the navy We're experienced and
qualified, while the recruits now en-
listing must be trained before they are
fitted for the NOSE important duties.
The high wages paid to machinists,
electricians and other skilled men in
private Industries has prevented the
navy's securing new men in the ratings
most needed. 1t is to be hoped Con
gress will increase the compensation
early so that many of these men will
have a suitable inducement to re-enter
| the naval service"

OVER MILLION

HEART OF ALL WORKING
PEOPLE.
DAILY WAGE LOSS Big
MORE FACTORIES CLOSING DAILY
AS SHORTAGE BECOMES
ACUTE

Washingtoi, Dee. 6.zMorc than
Idle or employed only part time MS Il
result of the coal shortage, il was esti-
mated unofficially here. The estimate
was described as extremely conserva-
tive by J. ID. A. Morrow, vice presi-
dent of the National Coal Association.
Exact figures are impossible to obtain,
since formal reports are not received
from all sections of the country. But
railroad administration reports show
that in some sections whole commune
ties are having enforced vacations.
The wage loss is estimated at more
than S2,OO0OOO daily. Loss to employ
ers and business men is beyond all es-
Inmates. Thousands of those affected
are women.
Railroad union workers also are af-
fected by the strike, according to heads
of the four big railroad brotherhoods.
Trainmen began to feel the strike
through curtailment of train service a
week after it began, according to Pres
ident w G.. Lee of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trninmen.
The central coal committee of the
railroad administration here is in con-
tinuous session. Reports of the geolog
ical survey show that coal production
is nearing 80 per cent of normal
through efforts of nonuTIion workers.
Fuel Administrators Garfield re-
turned to Washington from Williams
town, Mass, TO take personal charge
of the coal situation. After confer
ence with Assistant Attorney General
Ames he went 10 the White House to
attend the cabinet meeting. Director
General Hines also met with the Pres
ident's advisers.
DIR. Garfield said coal production
was getting close to normal although
the stringency in the Middle West was
acute.
Members of general committee
representing the coal operators who
remained in Washington after the ad-
journment of the general conference of
operators, denied in statement, pup
lished reports that they had considered
offering any amount TO the miners
considerably greater than the IA per
cent wage advance suggested by DR..
Garfield President Searles of the Hi
nois Coal Operators Association, said
the operators were acting entirely
within the limit suggested by the gov
ernment.

TWENTY AVIATORS

barred Fliers.

New York, July 25.--The first
strike OF aviators In the employ or
the government was on today. Twen-
" aerial mail men failed TO show up

OF the refusal OF the postoffice de-
partment to reinstate two aviators
who had been discharged. The mail
plane which was due to leave AZ
5 am. with the Chicago mail did not
leave the ground.
The aviators sent a communication
TO Second Assistant Postmaster
General Prayer in Washington yes
terday, telling him that unless y.
Hamilton Lee and Leon Smith were
reinstated they would strike. Tney
alleged that Lee and Smith were as
charged because they refused TO fly
IN the bad weather OF last Tuesday.

safe TO make the attempt In the ma
chimes that the government has fur
nished.
A reply was received from Prayer
late Yesterday stating that the TWO
aviators would not be reinstated.
