NEAR TREASON. SAYS SENATOR.
Demands Of Railroad Employees AS
tounds Washington.

Washington. Aug. 8. Raliroau
strikes and demands Of the workers 1or
naturalization of the roads stirred the
senate to spirited debate, in which the
president was accused of avoiding
decision on the wage crisis when ne
already has power TO deal with the
situ1tion: rail road strikers were de-
scribed as guilty CT little less than
treason" and Director General Hines
was charged with lack Of courage 10
deal with the labor problems confront
ing him.
Senator Thomas, Colorado, was the
most outspoken with reference TO tha
railroad employees and their demands.
1--WE are facing" he said, "a demand
not a request, on the part of something
like 100000 employees that We give
them sS00,000.000 at once. which con-
fessedly will not help them at ALL and
they propose to suspend the operation
Of our great transportation systems
until we do; and, second. we are raced
with the demand that we pass the So
called Plumb plan and by that means
confiscate $50, 900, 600, 900 worth OF prop
erty and turn 1t over to the workers
and others whom they name Tor prl-
vate exploitation.
1.-The railroad employees are employees
Of the government and those on strlke
are guilty of little less than treason
Less than per cent Of our popula ton
proposes to take this mighty nation
by the throat and starve it into SUD-
mission"

FARMER PROTESTS II. c. OF |.
Says short Hours and Big Pay Is Lure
20 Civ


Chicago. Aug. 6-Can the principle
OF the eight hour day, with limited
production, be maintained by the un-
ions and city men, while the farmer
works from dawn to dark in an effort
TO produce the limit OF his capacity
and keep down costs?
This was one Of the questions
brought up yesterday al a mye,ing OF
representatives Of farmers ogEanlGa-
lions in the Morrison hotel There was
10 have been u set speech, but the non
appearance OF the speaker caused ,he
farmers TO take UP .mprompVu dis
cusslon Of the hish cost of living as 1t
affects the man on the farm.
Recently l bought two pairs oil
shoes for my Children" said Charles
Borglet Of Havana, Ill. THEY cost
me $l25O. Leather is very expensive
these days was the explanation at the
store. Not long alter that one OF my
cows died and then lost a calf. got
$3.50 for the two hides. we can't
pay as much as usual; leather Is very
cheap now was the explanation. AS
near as l can rsuIe Il, o"cA OF my
! children is wearing the equivalent Of
! hide on each foot.
There is a groat big sap somewhere
/ between the producer ana the ultimate
! consumer, and one Of the great diHl-
cultles IS with reference TO labor
/ short hours in the city at good pay
as compared with Ions hours on the
! farm ut small pay, does not tend 10
! keep men in the country.
Not Ions aso we hired some men
! ON our place and 1 asked my brother
what kind Of workers they were.
%, they are Clu skates, just like we
are. all ln,' he salG. You can't md
any one else who VIII stand the gan
OF lurm wuTG.
We must keep it up and must in
crease production, just as We did dur
Iug The war We oldtimers are used
10 it, We don't care how long the day
is-1ut its different with the new gen.
erauOn. We can't pay the wages that
are ASKED these days-nOt ii we want
to keep on farmins. No farmer can
paw 81 an hour for labor after he Is
busted. We know of lots OF men VINO
have gone from the farms TO the cities,
bat who knows OF men going the other
way
President Howard Of the Iowa teder-
alton talked OF the eight hour day and
what il would mean if the farmers
adopted it.
I once asked a prominent union
man if he had ever made any attempt
to union!ze farm labor said Mr.. How
ard. He replied:
we have thought Of doing so, but
the more We look into the situation
the more we realize that production
must be kept up on the farm if we are
iii 10 De fed
Then you figure that the union
man has a right to reduce production
and work short hours, while the farm
er works long hours to feed him." l
asked.
He declined to answer. In my opin-
! ion, production on the farms will be
automatically reduced because Of labor
conditions. Labor has been scarce
with US for some time, but machinery
! has been improved and that helps keep
up production, but don't see how ma
! chinery can be improved much more.
! Unless we can get more men on the
| farms production is certain to decrease
! and the present movement is entirely
! toward the cities

SPEAKER AND CLARK CLASH.
Wranqle Follows Charge Ruling on
Shoe Price Inquiry Was Unfair.

Washington. Aug. 6. - Saturdays
clash between Speaker Gillett and for
mer Speaker Champ Clark, growing
out of the formers refusal TO permit
action on the latters request for unan-
imous consent 10 consider the resolu-
, ton of Representative Igoe. democrat,
of Missouri. for Investigation of shoe
prices. was renewed in the house. when
MIR. Gillett again prevented the meas
ure from being called up. The brief
session OF the house was further en-
hvencd when Igoe rose TO personal
privilege TO resent a charge made by
Speaker Gillett. following the stormy
Saturday night session. that the Mis-
souri, member had tried to "bulldoze'
the house.
Gulett left the speakers stand to re-
ply to Tgoe. and at the conclusion OF
his remarks he was taken TO task by
Mr.. Clark. The two locked horns in
long wrangle. in which the speaker at
tempted to justify his action Of Satur-
day and the minority leader reiterated
his charges of unfairnesS and unwar-
ranted exercise of the speakers pow
er.
Mr. Clark asserted the ruling was
an outrage"
The trouble started Immediately af-
ter the house was called TO order.
Igoe made an effort to call up his
resolution. but when Speaker Gillett
saw what his purpose was, he turned
to the republican and recognized
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee to present report.

'On Saturday I made two objec-
lions to the request for three-day re-
cesses. Later on, the gentleman from
Missouri. Mr.. Clark, asked for imme-
date consideration of the resolution
and after having submitted. this re-
quest to the house, the speaker subse-
qucntly refused 10 put the question.
after the house adjournment there
was considerable confusion, and
newspapers thruout the country, said
the speaker, in explaining his action.
asserted he did not intend that one
man (meaninS Igoe) should bulldoZe
the House. I think that is an unwar-
ranted and unjustifiable characterize
ton Of my attitude on Saturday"
At this point Republican Leader
MOndell tried to prevent Mr.. lgoe from
continuing by a parliamentary objec-
ton. Representative Garner, Demo-
crat, Texas. rushed to the support OF
his colleague. and Speaker Gillett
ruled"
"Inasmuch as the matter affects
what the speaker is reported to have

action in Withdrawing recognition
from Mr.. Clark after he had put the

had right as a member of the House
to object to the unanimous consent
request and that he had exercised
that right by declining to further rec

had intended TO object to the request
he should have said, Il object

Chicago. Aug. 6-Tremendous re-
bounds in all grain and provision mar
kets took place today. The sole cause
of the new advance was the govern
ment decision that wheat prices would
be kept on the guaranteed basis OF
S226 a busheL.
BUSHES to buy corn swept that mar
ket up in the llvenost possible fashion
and later prevented any material recess
sion. This was not deemed surprising
in view OF the fact that corn. in the
last week. bad suffered a decline Of s.
cents. Opening prices Hanged from
SO to 9la cents W, with September .
$I.79 TO SlS2, and December at El+9
to $152.
After a fun hour the market Wa
still near the top of the range which
had been established in the first min
utes of business.
Numerous attempts which were
made to depress the market proved IN
awaiting The close was strong, cents
TO cents net higher, with September
at S1S1l5 to Sl.S2, and December at
sI.51 to S1.51l2.
Oats.
Oats rose with corn. After opening
to 81 cents higher, including Sep
TENDER at - to % cents, the market
continued to display strength, tho not
to the same relative degree as corn.
Provisions.
Provisions were sharply higher also.
Demand. however, was OF only a scat
tered character.
Foreign buying Of lard was a bullish
factor but offerings Of all kinds OF
provisions increased on the advance and
brought about something of a reaction.
