EARLY SETTLEMENT
WITH SHOPMEN PROBABLE

Washington, Aug 20.-Early ac-
tion to settle unrest in the ranks Of
railroad employees who have demand
ed new wage increases was forecast
today.
After a lengthy conference with
the representatives Of the six shop
crafts, Director General Hines went
to the white house to discuss with
President Wilson the problems facing
the administration,
Mr. Hines promised the shopmen's
leaders that he would give careful
consideration to all the facts pre-
sented and would endeavor to reach
final decision in the near future,
indicating that he will order into ef-
feet any changes in the wage scale
without referring the demands to a
j5oard for investigation. The shop
mems demands were presented in
the spring to the board of railway
wages and working conditions, which
took extensive testimony and then
divided evenly for and against raise.
Delay in action on the demands even
tually resulted in the recent unauth-
orized strikes in many sections Of the
country. Leaders of the shopmen, out
lining the reason for their demands,
said that they did not rest primarily
on the increased cost of living, al
though that was contributing factor,
but were based on the proposition
that the wages of the railway shop
men ought to be more in line with
wages for similar work in other in
dustries. 1t was claimed by the union
officials that the wages paid railroad
shopmen were materially lower than
those paid shopmen in private indus
tries and in shipyards and navy yards
under government control. The min
imum rate paid by the railroads now
! is 68 cents an hour, which is asked to
, be advanced to S5 cents, an increase
: Of 25 per cent.
: Until the shopmen's demands are
| out of the way, Mr.. Hines is not TAX
, ing up the demands Of other classes
of employees, virtually all Of whom
: want more money.

CURRY COUNTY FARMER
SELLS S1S,20O WHEAT CROP

There have been many excellent
yields Of wheat reported from the
various fine fields in Curry County,
but perhaps there are none that will
compare with that of S. Scdden, who
lives northeast of town. Mr.. Sedden
had in 400 acres and his average
yield on this exceptionally large crop
was "a bushels to the acre, making
his total yield $500 bushels. lie
marketed this grain at an average Of
$500 per bushe or $40, 200 for the
entire crop. This exceptional yield
on as large an acreage az this is
rarely ever heard of even in the big
wheat countries in the older states,
and now many Of our local citizens
are figuring what 400 acres Of land
is worth that will produce a cash crop
amounting to $4,000, or S4S per
acre.
Mr.. Sedden says he will put in O
large acreage Of wheat this fall, larg
er il possible than last year, He uses
tractors which is about the only way
he could handle this large an acreage
at this time.

much better than which had already

NEW MExIco's WHEAT BELT
Albuquerque Journal. }

The dry farming counties Of New
Mexico are making a most amazing
record this year. The local papers re-
late scores Of instances in which the
wheat crop of this season sells for
enough to pay the purchase price of
a farm.
The wheat in those counties is gen.
orally selling for around 50 per bush
el, according to grade. The yield is
from twenty-five to forty bushels per
acre. Oats and most row crops also
are breaking records.
One automobile dealer in Clovis, in
view Of the fall outlook for prosperity
Of farmers, has made a contract in
Denver for 500 automobiles for de,
livery during the fall and winter, il
is stated. ~t,
The wheat crop Of the state is esti
mated to be 100000 bushels, of the
value of S10,OO0,OOO. BY far tn,
most Of il is in the northeastern
counties, where agriculture was moi
extensive ten years ago.

FATE Or LEAGUE To
Be SETTLED soon

Washington, Aug. l9,-This week
will reveal the fate of the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations so
far as the United States is concerned.
And as has happened before in legis-
lative battles there will be a COM
promise out of which each side will
claim and declare substantial vic
tory.
Reasons not altogether on the sur
face give basis for the foregoing pre-
diction. Yet the controlling factors
and motives are so obvious that one
wonders why the tactics of the occa-
sion involve whispers and party coun-
ellis of utmost secrecy. But the truth
is, Republicans and Democrats have
been getting some good advice lately,
and from quarters outside of Wash
ington, where the impatience of the
people for action, affirmative or neg
ative, but takably felt.
Report the treaty. Do something
Don't give the impression of indeci
sion, don't waver, 60 ahead. This il
what the Republicans have been told
and it rather upsets some senatorial
plans for a lively, long drawn out de-
bate with the slow death process foi

labove all, the Republicans have beer
advised to amend the covenant, bu
