OF or friendly to the regular union
The brotherhood took up the matter of
requirements with the railroad presi-
dents organization. The union was to
see that he carriers got men for
switching. Temporarily the carriers
had been trying to operate with any
body who would work for them; Of.
ficials and clerks were working in the
yards. There was a great scarcity Of
men.
Still Walt for Brotherhood.
Ever since then the carriers have
been waiting for the brotherhood to
make good. The brotherhood has not
done so. It never will, observers say,
so long as the carriers procrastinate
and do little but privately point with
alarm when action is required. Mean
while with small crews in the yards
the railroads have been trying after a
fashion Of their own to keep the ma
tons wealth in circulation. They will
ask you How can we get swftchmen

INCREASED WEED
ACREAGE is Seen

Reports reaching Lexington from
the surrounding Bluegrass country
indicate that there will be larger
acreage of hurley tobacco this year
than last, which means that the 1920
crop, if the season is a favorable one,
will be the biggest in the history of
the industry in Kentucky says the
Lexington Leader.
One of the best indications of an in
creased acreage is the fact that many
new tobacco barns are being erected,
not only in Fayette, but in other
counties of the Burley district. The
tobacco warehousemen are also in
creasing their floor space, as is
evidenced by the extensive additions
being made to the plants of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Company and the Fayette
Tobacco Warehouse Company Of Lex
ington.
So far few tobacco beds have been
put out, but with favorable weather
q4!M q4uom Espq g 7q II!M qluouI s!q4
the tobacco planters, and by June 1
some idea may be had of the extent
of the acreage as most of the plants
will be ready to set by that time.
Farmers generally in the Bluegrass
country are behind with their work,
as a result of the rainy season in
April and May, but considerable
blowing was done the past week.
The high price of Burley tobacco
the past season has had a tendency
to stimulate production and the Ken
lucky growers are going on the
theory that the demand for the weed
will be as strong during the next
season just passed and that prices
will undergo little change-at least
will not be any lower. Experts to-
bacco men, who are familiar with con-
ditions ofS the tobacco market, assert
that the better grades of Burley leaf
will continue high and that if there
is any falling off in price it will be in
the inferior grades.

FOX HOUNDS ARE BUSY

J. L. Kanatzar, well known in the
fox hound business, reports the sale
of many dogs during the past two
weeks, some going east, others west,
while the north is taking a fancy to

PALS BELIEVED
TO BE IN THIS STAFF

1t develops that Dick Howell, mur
derer of the Canton, o., detective, haC
a number Of confederates, and tina:
the organized gang of which he was
member, numbered at least thirt!
men. Some of them are believed to
be in Kentucky. The officers who
came here for Howell declared that
they believed some of the men were
in this state and perhaps responsible
for some of the bank robberies dur
ing the past six months. Howell was
not identified as one of the gang, as
far as the officers knew, but it is
their belief that he remained close by
and was afraid to participate in the
work, knowing that he was being
sought BY the officers from the Buck
eye state.

and save themselves from the hui
initiating defeat I am going to give
them in August" From the ap-
plause that greeted this suggestion,
one would have concluded that such
a thing would be acceptable to the
audience. In stating his position on
the whisky question, Private Davis
said that he was for the repeal of
the Volstead act if it meant that
vinegar could not be made out of
cider by the farmer or the good
housewife could not make cordial
out of her blackberries or wine out
of her grapes for family use, but if
it meant the return of the saloon, he
was heartily for leaving it as it is.
"Just the construction you put on
the act as to whether l am for or
against it," he added. His references
to Congressman King Swope and
Gov. Morrow were most amusing.
