Wheat Hands Will
Get SOC Per Hour

HUTCHINSON, Kan, May TO-
Wheat growers from thirty-five west
ern Kansas counties meeting in Hutch
inson adopted harvest wage schedule
took steps toward perfecting a perma-
nent organization to be known as the
wheat belt labor conference and pass
ed resolutions defining their stand on
important questions in which farmers
are interested.
1t was decided by the conference
that the harvest workday should con-
sist of ten hours. The wage was fix
ed at so cents an hour with extra pay
for overtime. This wage applied to
shockers, bargemen, pitchers and help
ers around stacks, drivers of head
ers and binders. Men with teams will
receive 70 cents an hour.
Stackers will be paid so cents an
hour. Overtime work shall be paid for
on the basis of regular pay.
The resolutions adopted provide that
farmers in each county should meet
with thrashermen and determine
prices; that any wheat thrasher who
violates the wage fixed by the asso-
citation by paying more shall in the fu-
ture not be considered by the associa-
ton in the employment of harvest
help; that the association holds con-
gress should repeal the daylight saw
ing law; that the railroad administra-
ton should grant a reduced fare to
harvest hands

SAYSTARS CAN'T
SHINE WITHOUT
THEIR RED Wine

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Here is a
new problem What will be the eff
feet of nationwide prohibition on
grand opera? How will the imported
song-birds get along, if they cannot
have their red wine, which, as every
body knows, is one of their chief
items of sustenance?
The question has been brought to
Washington by the representative of
an Italian opera company. 1t has
been laid before the internal revenue
collectors office, which is charged
with the enforcement of the war time
prohibition act. The office is unable
to promise any measure of relief. 1t
looks as if we will have to get along
with music, without wine, unless the
worst happens, and that would be
no wine, no music.
There is nothing in the war time
prohibition law, nor in the federal
amendment, which exempts Italian,
French, Spanish or Russian singer,
from the operation of the prohibition
measures. Ambassadors and their
suites are exempt, but in the draft
ing of the law, singers appear to have
been entirely overlooked.
Just fancy Caruso going through
a season at the Metropolitan without
an occasional bottle of the voice
building liquid to which he has been
accustomed! Imagine any of the 9TH
err high-priced artistes putting up
with the same inconvenience! But
they will have to come to it when the
laws go into effect, the collectors
office says.
Not long ago an opera company
left New York for an engagement in
Canada. At the border the train was
vigorously searched and from the
baggage of nearly every singer in the
company one or two bottles of wine
were seized The entire assortment
was piled up on the station platform,
and then the singers made an earnest
appeal to the company's manager. He
in turn appealed to the revenue off
GERS.
After considerable argument the Of
ficers relented and the wine was put
back on the train, for the singers
had informed the manager and off,
GERS as well that they simply could
not go on unless they had their wine
Canada was thus narrowly saved
from an opera boycott.
But will the same thing be done in
the United States? Nobody will say
that it will.

Henry Ford Ready
For Flivverizing
Nations of Europe

M EW YORK, May 10.-Now that
l Y Europe has had nearly every
thing else done to it, Henry Ford
has completed plans to flivverize
the continent. A few of these plans
were announced here by Robert
c. Nelly, manager of the foreign
department of the Ford Motor COM
pany, and indications are that in
few years flivvers will be as COM
mon in Europe as Bolshevists are
now.
At a recent conference with his
foreign managers, Mr.. Ford decid-
ed to go after the European trade
in earnest. He will erect at cost
of 100000 each, assembling plants
at Cadiz, Spain, and at Copenhagen,
} Denmark, and in addition will open
an assembling plant at Bordeaux
and an office in Paris. The new
plants in Spain and Denmark will
be able to handle about 500, 900 cars
a year. At Copenhagen, Poland and
J the Scandinavian countries will be
supplied, and also as soon as the
Bolshevik calm down so that a
flivver will be safe on the roads,
iSussia.
1t has also been announced that
Mr.. Ford has obtained the right to
sell his cars in the Belgian Congo.
That was the last country in which
the flivver was unknown.
