Are Maturing Well

The Weather Bureau has issued the
following synopsis Of weather and crop
conditions in Pennsylvania for the
week ending September 2s, 1920:
1.-THE week was very favofnble for
maturing crops throughout the state.
Frosts occurred locally at the close of
last week and killed tender plants in
some of the more exposed regions Of
the state. particularly in valleys in the
more elevated sections, but the, damage
was not extensive. AS compared with
the ordinary season it cannot be said
to have been unusual. Corn is quite

times in France, landed as high man

leaders were quoted as favoring him
for the berth. One of those quoted
was Newton A. X. Bugbee. state
comptroller. who in a statement yes

FORECASTS DECISION
WITHIN TWO WEEKS

Chicago. June 23.-President Wilson'S
message asking that the railway wage
board give an Immediate decision in
the wage controversy had not been re-
ceived here at pm, today. the board
announced.
Judge r, M. Barton, chairman of the
board, au horized a statement that all
possible was being done to expedite
the decision revising wages of all rail-
road employees. It was indicated at the
boards headquarters today that the de-
cisIon probably would be handed down
within the next two weeks.
Judge Barton said the impatience of
railroad men to get a decision was only
delaying the case. He declared the
boards deliberations were being inter-
rupted scores of times daily by dele
cations OF railroad men asking that a
date for the decision be set. AS many
as 800 calls have been received in a
single day, he said.
The boards publicity department de-
clared that the delay. In reaching a de-
cision had nothing to do with the pres
ent railroad strikes and that the board
believed the strikes would continue
even after the wage case is settled.
The strikes, It was said, are prompted
by an internal fight for control Of the
railway unions and not primarily by
dissatisfaction with wages. The wage
question has been injected, It was inti-
mated, to deceive the public.
