Conservative Elements of
All Classes.

| Washington.-The American Fedora

effort to establish relations with farm.
ers' organizations, the federation's ''co-
operation committee" appointed at the
Atlantic City convention, meeting here
with representatives of several farm
ers' groups.
While only one delegate from a
farm organization participated in the
first day of the federations recon
struction conference" it was under
stood the invitations sent by the COM
mittee for another meeting were more
cordially received. Federation Off
Gals declined to discuss the confer
ence saying that the committee would
make a report of the executive council
Of the organization.
In view of the declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by the conference, it
was generally believed in labor quar-
ters that the cooperation committee
had made greater progress toward
common ground on which to meet the
farmers representatives than has any
previous union group. Organized Ia
Dor was declared by several spokes-

farmers in the fold for the campaign
which the workers plan to wage in
the forthcoming election.
In this contention the statements
made in the declaration, adopted by
the conference, appealing to "all OF
those who contribute to society to
unite in furtherance of the principles"
were explained by labor leaders to
mean that organized labor must be
joined by the producing classes if
its victory is to be complete" These
leaders asserted that the problems
faced by organizer labor are as much
the problems of the agriculturist class,
because they are both political and
economic.
Every pressure is being brought to
bear on the farmer groups to line
hem up for labor's programme, it
was indicated at federation labor head
quarters. Efforts will be made to
show the farmers their interests are
Identical with those of labor.

According to the United States de-
parfment of agriculture specialists, the
compost pile is a fertile source of valu-
able material for replenishing the plant
food supplies of the soil. Proper utili-
cation of the compost saves much fer
tilizing material which ordinarily is
wasted on the average farm The ex-
penSe of making the compost heap is
slight as compared with the fertiIizing
value of the resultant material.
Compost Heap Essential.
The essentials of the compost heap
are to equip ii with water-tight foun-
dalton by pudding clay. This is done
by spreading the clay 10 to II inches
thick and then moistening and tram
pling 1t thoroughly. a framework of
logs or lumber should be built up

CANADIAN TROOPS
 ATTACK POLICE
Great Unrest Among Them Because of Delayed
 Sailings.

London, June IS - Unrest among Canadian soldiers in England because of continued postponement of home ward sailings eliminated last night in an attack by~4O0 Canadians on the Epsorn police station. Several police men were wounded, one seriously, that he died this morning. The pur- pose of the attack was to release a Canadian coldier who had been ar- rested.
 To avoid further trouble, the police released another Canadian in whom the mob was not interested.
 During the last few days there has been trouble in the Canadian camp at Whitley where the soldiers burned huts and did other damage, according to reports.
 There is much sympathy here for the Canadians, who repeatedly have been given dates for homeward sail tngs only to be told that further post ponement was necessary owing to strikes of dock workers at Llverpool and other ports or to lack Of trans ports.
 The unrest has not been confined to the Canadians. There have also been protests by Australians and New Zea- 1anders Some Scottish units, com posed of veterans, recently held demonstration against being sent oack to France while men who had not seen active service remained in Eng land or are demobilized.

MORE DEBATE
 ON THE LEAGUE

Washington, June 1s-More debate on the league of nations was in store in the senate today. Although ap- propriations constituted the business technically under consideration, Sen ator McCumber of North Dakota, a Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee, hAd given notice of his intention to speak in support of the league of nations and it was thought likely the. address would de- ve'oD a general discussion.
 Senator McCumber was prepared to reply to arguments presented yester- day by Senator Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania, who pleaded against accepting the league until the country had more opportunity to study it. The debate thus developing is expected to occupy the senate a part of virtually every day until final action probably ..H7n ny ""',s hence, on ratification of the treaty.
 -'u ---~- Knox probably will make no effort to bring up until Friday his resolution designed to serve notice that the Senate opposes acceptance of the league covenant as now dove tailed with the peace terms. Either Friday or Saturday supporters of the resolution expect to try for a test vote to show the exact strength of the league opposition.
