OLD CARS
Kansas Farmers Fixing Up
Railroads Equipment.
Willing To Do 1t for Chance To
Ship Wheat.
RAINS CAUSE BIG DAMAGE
Raisers Had Grain Piled in
Huge Stacks in West.
Railway Administration Is Not
Furnishing Cars.

Director General Hines seems to be
playing a cruel joke on Governor AL
len and the Kansas wheat growers.
He is sending his broken down box
cars to the wheat belt and permitting
the farmers and shippers to make nee
essary repairs, according to reports
received today in the state house. In
their zeal to secure transportation IA
cilities, the farmers are making re-
pairs at their own expense and in
some instances have paid carpenters
union wages in order to put the cars
in condition to haul wheat.
One telegram from Ness county to-
day stated that after waiting several
weeks, shippers last Saturday received
three cars. They were in such bad
load them with grain Yet the rejofc-
ing was so great that the shippers
gladly relieved the federal railroad
director of expense of repairs. They
hired several carpenters and Wednes-
day the cars were loaded with grain
and started toward the market cen
ters.
Farmers Made Repairs.
Three cars reached Utica nearly
week ago. The farmers spent several
days placing first class floors in the
cars. then loaded them with grain.
1T seems" said Clyde M. Reed,
private secretary to Governor Allen.
that if tie railroad administration
could get all the broken down cars to
western Kansas, the farmers would
save the government a. big item of ex-
pense by making necessary repairs in
the rolling stock. A number of re-
ports received in the last few days in
dicated that such cars as have been
delivered were not in condition for
use"
Rains Damaged Wheat.
W. F. Hughes, Stockton banker and
former member of the legislature,
came to Topeka today from Rocks
county He said that heavy rains of
the last few weeks had caused heavy
losses to owners of wheat. Nearly
nine inches of rain fell in "a hours
recently. This week a three-inch rain
fell. Much of the wheat is in stacks.
while large bins filled with grain
ready for market have been greatly
damaged.
: Practically every county in the
wheat belt has protested against failure
of the railroad administration to sup
ply proper shipping facilities. Heavy
losses have been absorbed by owners
of grain and banks have been called
upon for every available dollar of
funds to meet demands for money.

ton to the closed shop and collective
bargaining, the national industrial
conference adjourned today until next
Tuesday to give the committee of fif-
teen time to consider the various pro-
posals advanced and formulate a re-
! port.
Suggestions from the public group
| that the chairmen of the three groups
be constituted a committee to consider
proposals received from citizens over
the country were strongly disapproved
by the labor representatives, who. in
sisted upon rigid enforcement of the
( rules requiring that all matters con-
sidered be approved by the group pre-
senting them.
GOmpers Raps the Press.
In speaking against the suggestion,
Samuel Gompers. chairman of the
labor group attacked some portions

as its extremely unfair" attitude to
labor in the conference.
Opposition to collective bargaining

by the group representing capital
