DENY FAIL URE OF SETTLE.
 MENT CAUSED TKE RIOTS
Settlement of Their Landlords Did Not Cause the Riot in Phillips
 County.

Helena, Get. 1.-The committee of seven tonight issued the following statement upon receipt of telephone information from Little Rock that al ternoon papers there had printed an Associated Press dispatch containing the statememnt that the instruction in lower Phillips county last week was due to the inability of 6S negroes to secure a settlement with their land lords:
 "rhe statement has been made that the Phillips county insurrectlon was caused by the inability of 6S tenants to rrocure settlements from their land lord at atio, Ark. Ratio is lo miles south of Hoop Spur, where the trouble occurred, and at no time during the ln- surrection was there any trouble at that point.
 The facts are that the deputies sent out from Helena by the sheriff to ar rest a white man at Elaine were as sassinated at Hoop Spur on Tuesday night. about II o'clock, September 50 1919
 .The posse sent from Helena imme Giately after this assassination was surrounded and fired upon by the ne eroes north of Hoop Spur, 12 hours be- fC re the tenants at Ratio had made an! request for settlements.
 sThe battle at Hoop Spur was il l progress before the attorney, who ask el for these settlements got off tht train at Ratio.
 From the evidence we have the ne groes at Ratio at that time know noth ing about the shooting at Hoop Spu l and were not involved in that insur rection Therefore, it would be rathe difficult to prove that the Hoop Spu i shooting was caused by, or had an. relation to the settlements asked fo l by the negroes at Ratio

FARMERS WILL ASK FOR
 FARM PAY ACTION
Rural Delegates to Set Forth Needs Before the Industrial Con-
 ference

Washington, Oct. 12.-Needs of Am erican farmers, including recognition of the right of the farming class to remuneration on the basis of the num- Der of hours per day of work, will be laid before the National Industrial Conference when it reconvenes Tues day.
 o. E. Bradfute of Xenia, O., one Of the farmer delegates in the publlc group. announced today that the hve farmer representatives will have a resolution setting forth the views of the farmers ready for presentation when the conference resumes it's ses- ions.
 Prior to the meeting of the full con ference, however, it is expected that definite steps will be taken toward the settlements of the issue raised by the requests of the labor group that the conference appoint committee to abritrate in the steel strike. Ac- tion of some sort on this issue is look ed for tomorrow when the conference general or Steering Committee, meets. Members of the committee who spent the weekend in New York are expected to bring back word as tc whether mediation by the conference would be accepted by the United States Steel Corporation.
 The farmer delegates, it was salc by Mir Bradfute, do not object to the payment of wages to organized labor on the basis of an eight-hour day, but they believe that the farmers are en titled to remuneration for the longer hours of their working days.
 There are five representatives O. the farmers in the conference, three of whom sit as members of the em ployeers' groupe The two others, in cluding MT. Bradfute, are member: l of the public group.
 Several of the farmes delegates are of the opinion that a national farming conference will be called after th present industrial conference has ad iourned, and that settlement of thei troubles is not within the scope of thu gathering in session. However, the. expect to take an active part in thu discussion of the high cost of Twin. question, with the intention of showing that the blame cannot rightly be lait against the farmer.
