Than in Two Years.

Velvet beans are bringing a good
price now, and those who will have
to buy seed this year will find them

The crop was much shorter in this
section last year than the year before
due to the fact that so many were
produced the year before. They be.

market and the farmers did not plant
as many last year, and then the
weather was so bad last fall that
many of the beans spoiled in the fields
before they could be picked,

market at $500 per ton. Select
beans for planting, already shelled
, will cost good deal more.
The indications now are that the

Miners Seek Federal Own ership and Control of All Mines-Radical Elements Demand Short Day and Short Week With More Pay.
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased wirsl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Entering in an investigation of the increased price of coal, a senate interstate com merce sub committee today brought forth testimony that a shortage of cars and labor difficulties were hindering coal production, that certain clements n the miners union were intent on standardization of the coal mines with adoption of six-hour day and a five day week plus wage increase and that unless problems of production were solved the country would be brought face to face with coal fam inc in the coming winter.
 So emphatic were the witnesses that the railroads were at the bottom of the present low production that Senator I'-elinghuysen. chairman of the com mittee indicated the committees inten- tion of bringing Director General Hines into the hearing.
 Car Shortage to Blame
 After detailing the effects Of labol difficulties and alleged car shortage on coal production. Harry N. Taylor, president of the National Coal assocTa- tion, an organization of operators, de- clared a bill had been prepared for submission to congress providing for the standardization of the mines. He added that what the miners wanted was not only that the government should own the properties hut that mines should be turned over to them for operation. He insisted that the more radical of the miners appeared to be gaining control in certain dis triets and that there was q serious danger that these elements would make an earnest effort for the insti- tuition of something approaching soviet methods" in conducting the properties.
 Fear was expressed by Mir Taylor that at the miners convention Septem- Der in Cleveland and at the joint conference Of miners and operators in Buffalo September %, action might be taken to further endanger production. He told the committee that the strikes in Illinois, Kansas and Missouri were in disregard of the Washington agree ment which provided for the continu- ous operation of the mines until peace definitely Is established. The conduct of the strikes in the middle west. he said. were in many cases influenced by radical elements. He said it was known generally in the industry that an attempt would be made at the Cleveland meeting to put through a standardization program with six hour day, five day week and an in- crease in wages.
 Probe Railroad Efficiency
 The possible conversion of the coal price hearing into an investigation of the efficiency of the railroad admins. tration was indicated during the testi- mony of John Callahan, traffic director of the coal association Both Mir Cal lahan and ]. D. Morrow. vice president of the association had supplemented the statements of MT. Taylor that a car shortage was the most important single factor delaying delivery. Sem ator Frelinghuysen asked Mir. Callahan if he would obtain for him certain specific information regarding idle cars and other features of operation, adding that he wanted that information in order to question Director General Hines

 B|G ] PACKERS
Swift Representative Says Report Is Useless as Basis for Legislation Chal-
 lenges Truth of Findings.
rRenubfican A p. Leased wire1

q
 WASHINGTON Aug. Reports Of the federal trade commission in the five large packers and their alleged control of the industry are absolutely useless as a basis for passing legis- lation'' L. D. H. Weld. representative of Swift and company assured the senate agriculture committee today. Summing up his two-day argument against federal regulation of the indus try as proposed in the Kenyon and Kendrick bills, he challenged the truth of the commissions findings in half dozen particulars and ended by assail- ing the commission itself
 Don't you resent having this sort of evidence put before you" he asked the committee members. Do you think you ought to allow a government bu- reau to make this unjustified assault on useful and necessary industry"
 Do Not Control Prices
 Mir Weld said he had demonstrated before the committee that the packers, far from controlling 25 per cent of the wholesale grocery business. did less than three per cent of it. that they did not control prices either for livestock or meats; that their profits were as moderate if not lower than the profits of any other industry; and that in numberiess details, as to capital in- vestment, operations in England, live stock pools the commission and espe- ciadly Commissioner W. B. Colver, who opened the hearings had dealt in mis- statements, misrepresentation insinu- ations and inaccuracies"
 What possible motive can a public body have for doing the sort of thing l. Senator Harrison, democrat, Mississip- pi asked
 I prefer not to go into personalities, . MT. Weld replied, "but theories of members of the commission on econo- mic subjects are not what I call sound There isn't a buiness man On the com mission. Principally they are news paper men.f
 Several other opponents of the regu- lation were heard during the day and the federal trade commission made public a report recommending that operation of refrigerator cars and of cars used in meat transportation be declared a government monopoly.
 Everett C. Brown. president of the National Livestock Exchange, which is composed of cattle brokers, said that the packers did not control the market and that commission men did not need 1 license.
 Do Much Advertising
 H. E. Robinson. Portland, Maine independent packer, announced that i've want no licensing system as the 1 big packers, though furnishing eonsid erable competitor, were not intent on putting the independents out of busi- ness
 Mir. Weld incidentally told the com mittee that Swift and company spent s1,500,000 on advertising last year, and intended to keep up their efforts in that line in an endeavor to educate the public and eliminate the unjust preju- dice against the packers
 By unanimous vote the committee al night session rejected the Moses amendment which would extend the 1 licensing provisions of the Kenyon bill to cover all enterprises doing an in- terstate business without regard to commodities or circumstances under which the business operated.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 26-Pros- poets for ending the walkout of train men which has tied up railroad traffic between Fresno, California, and Yuma, Arizona, and virtually isolated south ern California, was not encouraging tonight, according to announcements by officials of the companies involved and the striking men.
 Officials and employees of the Pa cifie Electric lines, strike on which precipitated sympathetic strikes on the three steam lines reaching here, is- sued statement late today refusing to reeede from their original position
 All Train Service Halted
 Representative of the ''big four railroad brotherhoods today appealed to members of others crafts, who con templated striking. to stay on the job. The railroad men declared thev feared a general walkout of organized labor would defeat the aims of their own strike.
 Additional railroad men quit at Bar stow, Yuma, Arizona, and Bakesfieid according to reports received nere and officials of the lines entering Los An geles, declared no trains would leave tonight. Seven hundred of the 1900 the railroad shops returned 10 work today They returned, they said, on advice of brotherhood officials who shopmen who walked out yesterday ar told them their strike would not help the trainmen.
 Disposition of mail that has been ac- cumulating here for several days is q problem postoffice authorities are try l ing to solve. They announced that mail destined for the east and north, as well as San Diego would be dis ] patched by boat, but the problem of 1 handling mail to various towns in southern California, of which there is quite a volume, had not been solved. i Much of this would be handled by Pa cific Electric trains. but there still re- mains a vast amount to be sent .fa communities where only steam lines 1 touch.
 Passengers Unload at Barstow Four hundred passengers on five overland trains on the Santa Fe were unloaded at Barstow, California, during today. Included in the 400 were 100 soldiers bound for March and River side. Army officials there prepared to 1 send for the men in motor trucks. The other passengers were endeavoring to- night to secure transportation to San Bernardino or Los Angeles. The ma jority have decided to stay in Barstow rather than pay what they term ex- tontionate flares.
 Two hundred passengers on a Salt Lake route overland train were held tonight at Las Vegas, Nevada, north east of San Bernardino. Officials said they were afraid to move the train to San Bernardino.
