Hundreds Of Harvester Cannot Fin,
Promised Jobs. 4
The same old story OF hystericn
employment bureau heads mt Tope
ka and Kansas City bringing thou
sands OF men into the wheat country
when they.are not needed has beer
acted again. The bunc spread By
these job holders does the farmer,
no good and the men themselve.
much harm.
Promises Of 70 cents an hour FOL
harvest field labor. which dwindlet
to so cents an hour when the wheat
cutting started in Kansas and Okla
homa and now has dropped to 40 and
40 cents. attracted thousands OF
prospective harvesters who now are
stranded In the wheat belt without
funds and with little or no POSSIBLE;
ity of obtaining sufficient work ia
earn money to return to their homes
This situation yesterday was call
ed to the attention OF labor bureaus
and American Legion officials by
war veterans who sought to make
the world more "safe for democracy
by insurlng prompt attention to the
wheat. Officials lamented the pre-
dicament. asserting that farmers NAV
experience labor shortage next sea-
son as a result Of present conditions.
It was estimated yesterday that
there are more than 1000 idle mel
In Kansas City now who came on
the way to the wheat belt as n re-
suit of the nation wide advertise
ment Of the high pay harvest hands
were to receive In the Southwest.
Labor bureau chiefs asserted that
two thirds Of the wOuld-be harvest
ers are without funds to return home.
Local labor bureau officials dis
claim all responsibility for the situa-
ton. They say propaganda was
sent broadcast throughout the ma
ton by farmers associations In the
Southwest urging men to come to
the harvest fields and receive a min
imum of 20 cents an hour. with
board and lodging included. The re-
suit mas DeeI tHdC farm iuuOT HuS uc-
serted the Eastern and Mid Western
farms for the Southwest and farm
ers in these districts now are cla-
mOring for aid to handle their 1920
crops.
"The farmers of the Southwest
cried wolf" is the way labor bu-
reau official put it yesterday. "And
next year they will experience diff
ficulty in obtaining harvest hands,"
Wheat cutting is on in full force
in all sections of Kansas but farm
ers are not making their customary
appeals for help. The situation at
Wichita, Kans.. is said to be similar
to that at Kansas City-hundreds c.
men out of employment and without
funds being stranded there.
Labor bureaus are attempting to
place the prospective harvestcrs in
other positions and it Is probable
that labor shortages in several lines
will be relieved.

league leader.
Catholic High put up plucky battle.
and in the ninth inning made a rally
which netted two runs. The late start
marred the play somewhat. as it was

Score 8 to J

Brooklyn, n. v, April 16.-A pro
digious rally by the Brooklyn Supcrbas
in the eighth inning yesterday produced
six runs and threw scare into the
Phillies, who were leading to o when
the round started. Cy Williams rose to
the occasion with home run over the
right field fence in the ninth inning, and
the Phillies eventually won wild con
test by 5 to I. thus squaring the defeat
they suffered on the opening day.
Brilliant fielding. in which Dave Ban =
croft, who got four singles on his first
four times up. was the sensational
figure. was big help TO the Phillies.
Twice Bancroft threw from where he
was stretched upon the greensward to
Jack Miller and forced runners. and
Lthe hot blow on which he started the
life saving double play in the ninth was
d hard proposition. All Of the Phillies
played faultless ball.
