RAILRoAD UNIONS
i. TO MEET MONDAY
- TO DISCUSS WAGES

i ! Washington, Dec. 2S.-Heads 0
all railroad unions will meet her
Monday to decide their future actio
on demands for wage increase nov
before the railroad administration
it was stated at the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today.
:. The calling of the meeting is tn
result Of President Wilson's decision
made known Wednesday, to turn tn
roads back to their owners on Marc
/. - +,
Previously the position of tn
workers has been that their de
nlands must be answered before th'
roads pass out of government con
troll. ... >
The railroad chiefs who will 1t
tend comprise the heads Of the fouI
railroad brotherhoods and the tel
railroad unions affiliated with thu
federation. Samuel Gompers, presi
dent Of the federation, will preside.
The meeting will take up the de-
ulands Of the shopmen and clerk:
for 25 per cent increase, request:
for which was made several months
ago, but postponed at the request >o1
President Wilson, who appealed td
the workers to withhold their de,
Inands until the government has had
an { ;portunity to smash living costs
"The meeting will outline plans
IN connection with it's request and al
SO to prepare for the conference
which we are to hold with Director
General Hines, of the railroad ad-
ininistration,," said John Scott, secrp-
tary Of the railway workers section
of the American Federation of Laboi
It is also stated that the ques-
tion of whether the workers would
wait until March 1 to take action to
force compliance with their demands
would also be considered at this
meeting.
= President Advised.
Labor officials indicated they do
not intend to wait until private in
terests had regained the railroads
before forcing a decision on their
requests.
Union officials have been in
formed that Mr.. Hines is now fully
advised by the president as to what
he can do and how far he can go.
Workers believe they may be ask
ed to withhold their demands another
two months. They point out that
Attorney General Palmer's report on
living costs expressed the belief that
another two months would see a re-
duction in prices.
At Mr.. Palmer's Office today it
was said that the. attorney general
is considering getting out another
and more important statement on
the governments campaign to reduce
prices. This will be made public be-
fore Monday, if he decides to issue
it.
President Wilson's decision to turn
the railroads back to their owners
March 1, today brought into promi-
nence two phases of the already
complicated railroad problem.
First, the presidents action may
fave postponed a little the 'near
crisis" Brought on by requests of
railroad Tabor for more money with
the demand that they receive an
answer to these requests before the
boads pass out of the governments
Hands,
Second, the railroad question has
apparently been made a political is
sue. '.... - .....,
The two phases of the situation
are interwoven since the railroad
workers are threatening to carry
their agitation for continuation o:
government control to the ballot
box.

BR0UGH WILL CALL
 A SPECIAL SESSION
GOVERNOR PROMISES SUPRA GETTES THAT HE WILL CALL
 LEGISLATURE IN JULY

Little Rock, June 18-A special session of the legislature will be held in Little Rock probably during the last week in July.
 Positive assurance that he would issue a call for the special session for the ratification of the national suff- rage amendment was given by Gov ernor Trough Wednesday noon to large delegation of Little Rock suffra- gists headed by Mrs. T. T. Cotnar, which waited upon him in the recep- tion room at the State capitol.
 Issuance of the formal call will be postponed several days, Governor Brough said, to allow time for the consideration of what other subjects, if any, should be included in the call.
 Among the subjects being serious yl considered by the Governor for inclusion in the call are legislation looking toward a statewide system of roads, with provision made for de- creasing the tax on owners of real property, and increasing it upon au- tomobile owners; a measure for an immediate survey of the geological resources of the State, particularly with reference to oil and gas; and curative legislation to remedy de- feets in road legislation enacted by the 1919 legislature.
 Governor Brough told the suffragist delegation that he would hold up the formal proclamation only until he has had time to give proper considera- tion to the other possible subjects to be considered by the General Assem- bly, There is known to be wide diversity of opinion among the gov ernor's advisors as to the wisdom of including other subjects in the call, in view of the fact that this would al- most inevitably stretch the session 10 the full 15-day limit, with an expense to the State of some ESQ., GOO.

FOLLOW UP CROPS
 AFTER WHEAT OR OATS

It is always a good plan to follow oats and wheat with some crop like cowpeas or peanuts. This year it is highly important that some crop adapted to late planting be used, for a backward spring and rainy wather have combined to make the outlook for staple crop production this year rather uncertain.
 Gowpeas, if available, can be drill ed in rows between the cern, or sown or drilled after the oat and wheat crops.
 Penauts should be drilled in rows and cultivated two or three times. These crops make hay that all live stock relish.
 Sudan grass can be drilled in rows at the rate of to 6 1-2 ponds of seed or sown broadcast, 10 to 15 pounds, to the acre up to July 1st in Southern Arkansas. 1t makes good hog pasture and an excellent hay.
 Mexican June Corn planted aftey the oat and wheat harvest will mature ih some parts of the state before frost falls and can be relied upon to ma ture sufficiently for silage in all parts of the state. Black Amber sor- ghum is recommended for an early maturing silage or hay crop.
 The importance of planting one or more of these crops this month can not be too strongly emphasized. The present crop condition indicates that the coming feeding season will see shortage in feed crops. The seed may be high but it will without doubt pay in the long run to plant follow up crop this summer.

HORTICULTURAL CROPS
 VALUED DAT$lS,OOO,OOO
WILL BREAK REC ORD THIS YEAR IN VALUE
 OF THESE CROPS

Arkansas horticultural crops this year will have total valuation of between $17,000,000 and $18,000,000 according to figures compiled by J. A. Hughes, horticulturist for the Am erican Refrigerator Transit Company the figures being obtained from var GUS sources, including the railroads.
 The peach crop, gathering of which has been begun, will be the biggest revenue producer, with yield valued at $4,000,00 Arkansas is expected to produce 3,250 cars of peaches, Strawberries will hold second rank, the 1,250 cars picked having had a total valuation of $3,125.000. Of the I,250 carloads of strawberries pick ed 1000 cars were shipped out of the State, most of them to Northern and Eastern markets, where fancy prices were obtained.
 The horticultural crops as a whole will total more than 5000 carloads, Mir. Hughes has estimated, of which more than 40 per cent will find their way to Northern and Eastern mark cts.
 Arkansas 1919 apple crop, which will begin moving in August, Will have value aggregating approximat- ely S2,125,000, ranking third. The little radish, his records show, brou- ght in the tidy sum of $60,000, count ing only the carload lots. One car load sold for $2,000 And the II ,655 acres planted to cantaloupes will bring in big amount. It is esti- mated that five acres will produce a carload of eantaloupes, and the mel ons will sell for about $1,000 a car. Mr. Hughes expects a total shipment of 2,331 cars. The watermelon crop also will bring in big amount It is estimated that five acres will produce carload of cantaloupes, and the melons will sell for about 1000 a ear. MT. Hughes expects a total shipment of 2,331 cars. The water melon crop also will bring in q big sum, although figures have not been compiled on this crop.
 The blackberry winter" of 1918-19 resulted in big crops of raspberries, blackberries, dewberries and other berries, the total value of which is ex- pected to exceed $250,000.
 While no figures have been obtain ed on the Irish and sweet potato crop immense acreages have been devoted to the two crops and record shipments are anticipated.

FOOD PRICES
TO REMAIN HIGH
End of War Brings No Re.
lief, Says Chairman
Dawson.

High food prices for many months
to come. This is the unmistakable
Indication at the present time, ac-
cording to G. Howard Dawson.
speaking last night for the National
Agricultural Society.
Some lines of foods may show a
decline" Mr.. Dawson said, but as
to staples, Americans can make up
their mind that the world demand
is strictly in control of prices and
that this condition will endure for
a long time to come.
The end of the war has brought
little or no relief. Food prices are
just as largely under the control of
the European n situation as they were
year ago. 1t is true there are
enough hogs coming into the mar
kets just now to bring about a de-
cline in the price of meats and fats
if conditions were usual. and it is
likewise true that the present out
look Is for a surplus of wheat in the
spring. But the government says
the minimum price for wheat and
hogs must not be lowered.
THE government, fully conscious
that the appalling scarcity of food
stuffs abroad will exist for many
months, clearly is continuing its
policy of maintaining high price
levels in order to stimulate produc-
tion to the utmost. Few will dis
pute the far-sighted wisdom of this
policy"

was wrong.

Two Bits; One Fight.
One day, before Christmas, little
Ralph Boone was given a quarter by
his ma.
He showed it to all the boys in the
neighborhood They all got very much
excited.
A quarter looked as big as a million
dollars to Ralph and it probably
looked bigger to Joe Benton. one of
Ralph's acquaintances.
Joe took the quarter away from
Ralph. The latter went home crying
and feeling like a millionaire who
had just gone into the hands of a
receiver.
His pa, Bill Boone, determined to
get back that quarter. He went
around to see Tom Benton. Joe's pa.
The result was that both parents
got into a fight. Pa Benton was
licked.
Boone was arrested. But he had
the satisfaction of having gotten his
sons fortune back.
You fathers are foolish to get into
fights on account of trouble between
your children" the court told them
I both.
Boone was fined so. The Benton
family looked on with joy.

SHIRLEY BACKS PLAN
FOR BUDGET SYSTEM
Would Take Power of Appropriat-
ing Away from Congress.

A proposal to create a joint Congress
sional commission to inquire into the
feasibility of a national budget will
be made a part of one of the forth
coming appropriation bills now be-
ing framed by the House Appropria-
ton Committee.
Chairman Sherley yesterday an
nounced he would back the plan,
which is similar to the one laid be-
fore the Senate by Senator Kenyon.
Four billion a year. he points out,
is now the lowest estimate of peace
time expenditures. The lowest pre-
vious peace-time expenditure in one
year did not reach half this sum.
Under the present system any COM
mittee can authorize appropriations
or appropriate money outright In
dividual members can submit motions
to increase expenditures
Under the budget system as worked
out in England and other countries
the budget would be made up in some
executive department-probabl the
Treasury-and no Congressman could
initiate new expenditures or add to
executive proposals.
