Politics In Plala Dealing.

Hon. John NJ. Parker. candidate for
Governor of Louisiana. was due to
sneak in Plain Dealing Monday after
noon and the announcement aroused
the voters of this community into ac-
tive interest. Friends of Col. Stubs
and supporters Of Mr.. Parker We're
holding joint debates all over the bus
mess section of town during the fore
noon and an air of expectancy charged
the political atmosphere during the af-
te,1,Oon that was broken soon by the
disappointing announcement that Mr..
Parker would he unable to fill his aI-
IOintment.
Senator Stafford, who was with the
Parker party ut Benton Monday, man.
aged to get through to this point and
make Il speech in Mr.. Iarker'S place
He promised that his friend would yet
fill an appointment in Plain Dealing
and in the meantime he spoke in adj
vocacy of the absent candidate, de-
Tending his democracy. giving reasons
for the Governors swinging of the axe
uInn the neckS of the famous dock
board martyrs. and laying out the sit
uation plain before Il very fair au-
dience at the Electric Theatre. Mr..
Stafford is gentleman Of good pres
ence. ready wit and pleasing address.
and though he apologized for being an
imitation Of the real thing, he made
Il good impression.
The. interest Of Monday demonstrate
ed that either of the candidates can
get an audience in this town or any
where near it within an hours notice.
We are interested in politics and want
to see the candidates. One good solid
citizen and business man said he would
not vote for any candidate for Gov
ernor who would not come here and
show himself. and. while some may not
have said as much as that. as yet, the
utterance comes near to guaging public
sentiment in Plain Dealing.
Our folks want to see Messrs. Stubs
and Parker before some Of them finally
make up their minds. And some might
even have Il change of heart and alter
their present firm convictions.

Saving Seed Potatoes.

Mr. X. {. Purcell. who did much to-
ward promoting sweet potato planting
in North RoSSier this season. is urging
the people who have potato patches to
save all their seed potatoes for next
year and not depend upon getting them
as heretofore.
Plain Dealing did not get sweet
potato curing plant this year because
we could not get enough seed to plant
Il sufficient acreage to Justify curing
plant" said Mr.. Purcell to the Banner
reporter. If we save our seed this
season for next years planting there
will he no reason why we should not
have Il curing plant of our own. There
will he market for all the seed we
do not need. and it will pay to save
enough to plant very large acreage

OF Wire Strikers
Question Rests With Man
agement of Companies,
He Says; Walkout Held to
Violate Government Rule

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Postmas-
ter General Burleson to-day told a
committee of the American Federation
of Labor he would not direct the tele-
graph companies to reemploy persons
who went on strike, as he considered
the rules laid down by the govern
ment's wire control board apd the War
Labor Board.
Mr.. Burleson told the committee,
which was appointed at the recent con-
vention at Atlantic City, that whether
the strikers would be reemployed rest
ed entirely with the managers of the
companies.
"Often during the period of govern
ment control" said the Postmaster
General, "the question has arisen
whether those in temporary control of
these properties should permit them
selves to be driven beyond the princi-
pies embodied in the policies of the
wire control board and the War Labor
Board. Shall established governm entail
policies be abandoned or governmental
powers surrendered to employees be-
cause of threatened or attempted
strikes? The Postmaster General has
answered no.
'"The managerial officers of the tele-
graph companies report to me to-day
that the traffic is being handled with
out delay; that their business is prac-
tically normal; that the machinery for
handling grievances of employees is at
this time functioning and that no griev-
ances are pending unacted upon; and,
Furthermore, that no denial has been
made by either company of the right Of
it's own employees to individual or col
lective bargaining in settlement Of
grievances"

C0nferrees Divided
On Army Measure

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Possibility
of a contest between the House and the
Senate as to economy in appropriations
for government departments loomed up
to-day when conferrees on the $685.
100000 army appropriation bill failed
to reach an agreement on the size of
the army for 1920 and decided to re-
port a disagreement to their respective
branches. The House would limit the
army to 100000, while the Senate ia
vors 400, 900.
lntimations Of such contest were
given in the House to-day by Repre-
sentative Mondell, of Wyoming, Repub-
lican leader, who, in connection with
selection of conferrees on the army bill,
said he hoped the House representa-
tives on the conference committee
would realize the general attitude of
the House toward Senate increases
Chairman Kahn of the House Mill
tary Committee at the same time said
he would insist on acceptance by the
Senate of the lower House appropria-
tions, and late to-day, after the Con-
ference Committee voted to report a
disagreement, announced he would
bring up the matter of the army's size
when the House meets tomorrow in
an effort to obtain vote on the Sem
ate amendment
The Senate, in passing appropria-
ton bills for the fiscal year beginning
next Monday, generally has accepted
recommendation of it's committees for
increases over the House appropr1a-
tions. Some of the House appropria-
tions have been characterized by de-
partment heads in hearings before
Senate committees as inadequate and
probably embarrassing, but House
leaders have asserted that economy
must be exercised in all government
expenditures.

and three enlisted men were killed,
two men were wounded and one officer
and four enlisted men were captured
in recent fighting with anti-Kolchak
forces in Siberia, the War Department
was advised to-day by Major General

Men of 7lst Resent
Order to Federalize
Full Quota Won't Respond Be-
cause. They Get No Credit
H..
For Past Service

The list Regiment, National Guard
will be federalized, under the new reg
ulations, tomorrow night. Word tc
this effect was received from Washing
ton by Major General Organ, com
manding the guard, on Wednesday
evening.
AS result of this brief notice there
was much hurrying and confusion
about the armory all yesterday. Colo
mel J. Hollis Wells has ordered all of
his command to appear Friday night
but it was whispered about the armory
yesterday that those who obey will by
no means be the full quota of the reg-
ment.
Many of the officers and men are
resentful of the fact that If federal
lied they will be compelled to enlist
for another three-year term, and will
receive no credit for their past service
in the guard.
The federalized regiment will be
further depleted by the fact that all
men under eighteen and all men with

Report of Mooney Case
BY DensnlOre Sought
NeaU York Tribune

NeaU York Tribune
Washn0ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 26-Informa-
ton regarding the connection Of the
Department of Labor with attempts to
obtain a pardon for Thomas J. Mooney,
now serving life term for deaths re-
sulting from the San Francisco bomb
explosion, is asked in a resolution to
be reported by the House Labor Com
mittee tomorrow as the result of
conference to-day between the COM
mittee and Secretary of Labor Wilson.
The resolution will procure. for the
committee the report made BY John
United States Employment Service, fol-
lowing private investigation into the
Mooney case. Repeated efforts to OBJ
tain this report have failed> and the
department has never admitted the
authenticity Of alleged portions of the
report which have found their way
into print.
The report of Densmore followed
an investigation, ordered and financed
by the Department of Labor, which in
voved espionage on Department Of
Justice officers in San Francisco
County. The report of Densmore con-
tained charges against the District At
'torney of San Francisco County and
against three members of the grand
jury which indicted Mooney.
The resolution determined upon by
the labor committee to-day was intro
duced by Representative Blanton, of
Texas. Tho purpose of obtaining the
Densmore report is to try to show the
power which organized labor has been
able to exert with thA governmonA.
