HAS ONLY HELIUM
PLANT IN THE WORLD
NoninfIammabIe Balloon Filler
nade by Government at
Fort Worth, Tex.

The only helium plant in. the world
Is being erected in North Fort Worth.
Tex, by the United States navy depart
ment at a cost of 100000. The plants
product is expected to remove the last
danger element from ballooning.
Experts declare that production of
helium in quantities will soon make it
possible for big passenger and freight
airships to travel everywhere, and that
the airship as war weapon will sur
pass even the fleet airplane.
Helium, the material Count Zeppelin
needed to make his big airships sue
cess, removes the danger Of fire from
the gas filling in the balloon.
The natural gas Of certain wells at
Petrolia, in Clay county, is the best
ever found for the extraction of the
helium. The products Of the wells will
be piped to Fort Worth, prepared for
the balloons and distributed. The gov
eminent is now building the pipe line
at a cost of $4,OOO,OOO.
Helium is said to be approximately
90 per cent Of the lifting power Of
hydrogen and is noninfiammable. An
airship inflated with helium cannot be
brought down in flames. Heretofore
the gas-filled balloon was at the mercy
of the quicker airplanes, which could
set the balloon blazing with bullets.
When America entered the world
war the British government referred
to the United States bureau Of mines
the Industrial production Of helium.
Such a substitute for hydrogen was
known to exist, but its cost was deem
ed prohibitive.
Funds for experimental work were
provided by The joint army and navy
board of nssd airships. The expert
ment DinaS Sas erected at cost of
$3.50, 1000.
Greatest secrecy was exercised by
the government in conducting the ex-
pertinent. Soldiers were kept on guard
duty day and night. Newspapers were
cautioned against mentioning exist
ence of the plant until the arrnistice
was signed.
The permanent plant will be in full
operation by April 1, according to the
announcement Of naval officers.

FARMERS DENOUNCE

LawIess Labor Leaders Called
Menace to Nation.

II the "unscrupulous" sort were de-
bounced as a menace to the political
and economic security OF the nation by
speakers at the opening session here to-
lay of the thirty-ninth annual meeting
Of the Farmers National Congress.
The need OF an effective assertion OF
100 per cent" Amerrcanism by the

attempt of radical elements to under
mine the political institutions of the
country was impressed upon more than
1900 farmer delegates. representing all

tine opening session OF the congress.
Responding to the sentiment of its
speakers the Congress by unanimous
resolution pledged Its "stSadfast" support
to the Government in the strict enforce
ment OF law and order in combating GER

the fundamental principles of our Gov
eminent and tear down its institutions"
To prevent the spread OF anarchistic and
radical theories, the resolution asserted,
1.-THE conservatism Of the American farm
err must be eternally on guard"
Welcoming the delegates on be half OF
the State OF Maryland, Gov. Harrington
declared the farmer must accept his full
responsibility in directing the course of
the nation and make himself heard In
all councils which seek a settlement of
Industrial conflicts"

WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-President Will
son will issue a call probably before the
end of the week for the meetin, of a
new industrial conference in Washing
ton to take up the problem OF indus
trial settlement that~was laid aside by
the National Industrial Conference when
IL broke in disagreement more than a
week ago.
The programme for this new confer
ence and its personnel were agreed
upon by the Cabinet to-day. The Presi-
dents advisers canvassed a list of names
OF representative men Of national promi-
nence, a number of whom will be re-
quested to serve. The names of APP
proximately twenty were selected, and
these names will be submitted to the
President probably tomorrow IL the
Presidents physician will consent.
They will go to the Executive as the
unanimous choice of the Cabinet for the
Tew body. The names will not be made
public until the call is issued by the
President 1t Is known, however, that
the list does not include any of those
who served in the National Industrial
Conference. 1t was expected that Bern
ard NJ. Baruch, Thomas L. Chadbourne.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., and one or two
others who were leaders in the efforts
Of the public group to keep the first con-
serence together would be asked to sit
With the new one.
The Cabinet determined to-day, how
ever. to wipe the slate OF the old con-
erence clean and to have a new begin
ming. Consequently the names of men
the public group were dropped with
hose of the labor and employers group.
Secretary Of the Interior Lane, who
vas chairman of the first conference,
nd most largely responsible for the call.
probably will preside over the new gath
aring.
The new conference will not take up
the coal strike situation. the steel strike
or any other individual controversy. 1t
will be carefully steered from any single
ssue in the present industrial situation
nat 1T may take up and consider a COM
urehensive programme of labor and in
iustrial relations on foundation of
justice to the workers of the country
nd fairness upon all questions between
employers and employees.
Long consideration was given by the
Cabinet to selection of the men and
women to compose the new conference.
Representative citizens were sought who
would bring every aspect of present day
Industrial relations to the gathering. II
will include every class of employer
from the largest TO the proprietor of a
hop with a few hands. 1t will also
have representatives of practically every
broad class of working people and will
include salaried men and women. those
who worked on the farm and those who
organized industry as weh as
the organized workers of the country.
no trade, commercial. financial or
labor organization will be asked to send
representatives.
