avoided.
f. NJ. Mansfield, temporary Sec

crop. Planters are urged to sub
nit plans, which will lbe later re-
ferred to committee.
Growers of Franklin county favor
a plan that places the limit OF the

Their plan provides for a maximum
Of five acres for the first 100 acres
in the farm and two and one-halt
acres for each additional 100 acres
ND to 800 acres, ten acres being the
maximum.
Another plan. submitted by
Henry county grower, provides that

farms up to 100 acres be permitted
TO raise five acres, and that for
larger farms three acres be allowed

Gentlemen: Your letter Of the 18th
instant and the subsequent arsu-
ments presented on your behalf win
reference TO the subject OF pending
claims for wage increases have mao
my careful consideration. The pas
sage OF the railroad bill by the House
OF Representatives on the zlst instant
and by the Senate on the ESQ instant
has made IL evident that 1 could not
act upon your suggestions unth ~

would become a law or not II was
manifest that n the bill should be-
come a law the negotiation ana con-
sideration of the wage matter ought
10 proceed In harmony Herewith.
The bill having now become n law
the way IL open for immediate action
ON the wage matter In accordance
with the terms of the bill. Section
30l OF the bill evidently contemplates
that the carriers and employees should
as suggested by you select represen-
,tatives, who will thus constitute a bi-
partisan board for the purposeSof at
tempting by conference to agree upon
d solution OF this wage problem. In
accordance with the assurance i gave
last August and repeated in substance
In my letter of the 18th instant 1
shall at once request the carriers and
the employees TO join In this action.
1 believe such step will go far to-
ward clarifying and maturing the
subject for finai disposition. In fact.
the sort OF board thus contemplated
by section 301 appears TO be an APP
propriate substitute for the com
mittee of experts which have here
tofore suggested. and indeed such a
board will be authorized to go fur

ourselves and your constituents az 10
the provisions of the law concerning

visions are not only appropriate In
the interest OF the public, which after
all is principally composed of work

found to be particularly in the in

The argument that the public rep
