 There is not a living market for farm products in the United States to- day" Senator Capper told the senate. adding that the closing of banks in North Dakota indicates that agricuI- ture, our biggest business. was sae foundation of our wealth and prosper ity. is close to demoralization and ruin. The banks were closed he said, because they could not collect from the farmers who were unable to pay because there. was no market TOT their crops
 We have gone about this thing of deflation all wrong" he continued. The farmer has been made the goat so often that it was thought he could safely be made the goat in this biz dellation. He cannot carry it. He will not carry it. He had said so and ! is stating so today.
 The farming business cannot ex,sr
 unless credit and market conditions are remedied soon."

 PREVENT WARS
Special League Commission Appointed to Discuss
 Important Point

GENEVA. Dec. 10.-Just how the economic blockade may be user as a league of nations weapon to pre- vent war is to be determined by d special commission which the coun cil of the league will appoint and which will report to the council at the next assembly This was the essence of report adopted with minor amendments by the assembly today
 Pending further action by the next assembly, the general secretary of the league is to act as scrt Of out post to watch for attractions of the covenant and inform the council which shall meet to take cOgnizance Of the facts and subsequently inform all the other rfembers of the league
 As soon as the members are sat isfied that an infraction CT the GOV enant as described in Article 16 of the document has occurred. they will be expected to carry out the pro visions of the first paragraph ot the article namely, break off all finan cial. commercial and personal rela tions between their nationals and the nationals of the covenant break ing state.
 The report adopted today. which is taken as merely interpreting the covenant. provoked a somewhat con fused debate. Dr. Giuseppe Motte president of Switzerland, Obtained . modification in favor of maintaining relations for purely humanitarian purposes"
 The amendment also contained q stipulation that it was for individual states 10 decide whether there should be q blockade or not.
 Lord Robert Cecil. representing South Africa, did not agree with this latter stimulation, say ing it was rath CT for individual states 10 decide whether reason existed for a block ade. Once that fact was established he declared. these states were bound to join in the blockade without res ervation. Dr Motta agreed to thi' but maintained it was still for indi vidual states to decide whether there should be a blockade

 The wage reductions were capitalized iii every branch of operations of the two big companies. Miners. muckers. engineers, foremen, surface men and office managers and assistants wcf- all included in the order. regardless of the length or of the branch of ser vice.
 Employees of both companies appear ed to take the announcement of the wage cut in good spirits yesterday. Rumors that the mines would either make a big slash in their working forces or might shut down entirely on account of the inability to sell any copper during more than a year were dissipated by the posting of the new Wage scale. Many married men eX- pressed the belief that inc new scale would not work any hardship on em- ployes Of the company and would probably be received with much more satisfaction both by single men and men with families than would the an nouncement of any reduction in forces
 Move Necessary
 Officials of the two companies said last night the wage reduction had been made only after conditions here had been given most thorough study The companies felt, they said, that living costs had now reached a level where it would be far better for ev- erybody to stand cut in wages than for hundreds and maybe thou sands of men to be thrown entirely cut of employment.
 No one regrets more than we that it is necessary to make this reduc- tion." said one official last night. But something had to be done. The huge sums that have been expended by the companies here to get out cop per that cannot be sold anywhere in the world have reached unheard of totals during the last year. The sit uation of the copper industry is right now at it's most serious stage. There is a huge supply of copper on hand, and there has been a huge surplus for more than Ia year, with practically no market whatever
 When it came down to a question of laying off many men or reducing wages, we decided that general wage cut was the best solution. Both wanted to keep all of their employees on the pay-rolls as long as

Local Mines Make Wage Reduction Efectiue January Rather Than
 Throw Hundreds Out OfEmployment
Warren District Properties Plan Continue Operations With Present Working Forces in Spite of Inability
 To Dispose of Huge Copper Surplus on Hand

| Wage reductions affecting approXi
 mately 4,CO0 employees effective Janu
 ary l, were posted yesterday by the ! Calumet & Arizona and Copper Queen mining companies.
 Under the new scale daily wage em lployes now receiving S5.35 or more per day will be reduced S1.00 a day and employees now receiving less than i$535 will be reduced so cents a day A flat reduction of 20 per cent will be made in the wages of all regular ly salaried employees.
 In addition to the reductions, both companies announced that the service bonus will be discontinued the first lof the year. All employees entitled to the service bonus for the current year. however, will receive the bon us up to date.
 The action of the two big cOmpan- ies yesterday was not entirely a sur prise to residents of the district, par ticularly miners and associated em- ployes. With the copper marget prac- tically dormant for many months. the local mines have for d long time been facing the alternative Of either closing down with the laying off of thousands of men or operating at re- duced wage scales.
 Action Delayed
 The latter course was decided up- on by the two companies after a care full and exhaustive study of conditions here and in the eastern copper mark cts. Although it was contemplated several months ago, it is said, off cials of the mining companies post poned announcement of any 'reduc- tion in- wages on account of the then high cost of the necessities of life. Even several weeks ago, when prices of foodstuffs and other necessities started tumbling. no action was talk en for the reason that the companies preferred to shoulder the load oI pro- fitless operation of the mines and as sociated industries rather than place any burden on their employees, parc> cularly those with families in the dis uict.
 With the cost of living apparently settled on a downward path. howeV- CT it was decided that it would be for either company to con- tinue operations on it's present work ing force scale without a reduction in wages. and that the present was a time when the reduction would be less felt by employees than at any per

HARDING BEGINS CONFERENCES
 IN LEAGUE
Hughes Is First Visitor Re ceived; Colonel Harvey
 Also Is Summoned

MARION. Ohio, Dec. i0.-In ful a meeting of minds" to determine new American foreign policy. Presi(fent-elect Harding today began a month of conferences here by seek ing the advice Of Charles E. Hughes. Republican nominee for the presi dency in 1916.
 What passed during their talk of several hours was not revealed. for afterwards Harding maintained si- lence and Hughes would only say that international problems had been considered in relation to constantly changing conditions and with a view to solution along the lines laid down by the presjdent-elect during the campaign.
 Neither would comment on widSly . circulated reports that the confer ence had to do also with cabinet ap- pointments and other practical ques- tions of administration building. Hughes has been mentioned many tines a sa possible secretary of state and his arrival here at the { head of the president-elect's list of chosen conferees served to enliven { speculation on his availability for the premier portfolio in the next cabinet. Colonel Harvey Appears While the two were closeted to- gether, Colonel George Harvey an peared on the scene for a visit which. | it was said might last for several days It was the second time he had come here at an hour wlteu ques- tions affecting the country's interna- tional relations were awaiting SOlu- tion. He spent two weeks at Hard ing's headquarters just prior to Harding's address of August 2S. term : ing the versailles league d failure and proposing formation of an asso- citation of nations.
 Although as a Democrat he was one of Woodrow Wilson's leading supporters fer the presidency in 1912 Colonel Harvey later withdrew his support from the administration and has been an irreconcilable oppo- gent of the league. Hughes has been d reseTvationist, having proposed sev- eral reservations during the league fight in the senate
 Several of those named have been given 10 the public from ether sources. however, and il is known that in the near future he expects to sse among others William II. Taft Elihu Root and Herbert Hoover. Hoover probably will be here for a conference Sunday.
