PALMER TURNS DOWN LABOR
Attorney General Denies Plea Of
Leaders for General Amnesty TO
all Political Prisoners.

Washington--Labor leaders asking
general amnesty for political prisoners
were told recently by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer that the government
would continue it's policy of "consid-
ering the cases individually"
Replying to statement by Mr.. Com
pers that other countries had releas-
ed all political prisoners, Mr.. Palmer
said the enumber who actually suffer

in the United States was infinitesim-
ally small while in some parts of Eu-

HOME RULE ULSTER NOW
Indications Point to Fact That Parti-
ton of ireland Has Already
Been Made.

London.-The government has de,
cided not to wait passage of the home
rule bill to put into operation the
partition of Ireland. In the forthcom-
ing appointment of new undeysecre-
tary for Ulster it seems that Ulster
is to have practical home rule at once
in other words, six counties will be
turned over to Sir Edward Carson and
his Orangemen.
Belfast.-The cabinet intimation of
appointment of an under-secretary for
the six counties of Northeast Ireland
and the establishment of a citizen con-
stabulary force is regarded by Ulster
as preliminary TO establishment of a
local parliament under the present
bill. The new official will have the
loyal support of all unionists, which
will form a great majority, and men
are waiting by thousands to be en-
rolled in the new force.
In addition to securing enforcement
of law and order among all classes,
the undersecretary will arrange the
eventual transfer of all functions of
government relating to Ulster from
Dublin and White Hall to Belfast.

CITIES FEEL CAR SHORTAGE
Flour Famine May Follow Lack for
Facilities for Shipping Farmers
Wheat 20 Market.

Kansas City.-The Middle West viii
face a wheat famine and a shortage
Of its chief -bread-unless
the present grain car shortage Is re-
Iieved soon.
This is a warning sounded by grain
elevator operators and miIlers.
Normally approximately 100000
bushels OF wheat is in storage here at
this season Of the year. The amount
now held in Kansas City elevators
barely exceeds 2,OOO,OO0 bushels.
Wondrous tales Of barns and gran
aries throughout the Southwest bulg-
ing with their burdens of golden grain
fail to enthUse local grain men. They
say the farmers probably will have to
hold their wheat at least six months
before a sufficient number of freight
cars suitable TO haul the grain to mar
ket can be obtained.
Freight movement is reported the
heaviest here in recent years." a grain
elevator operator said, but that is not
helping out the grain movement sit
uation a bit
Under government control railroad
rolling stock was allowed to deterioT-
ate until at the present time the roads
are unable to provide sufficient cars
suitable to transport the grain to mar
ket.
'T know Of fnnumerable instances
where cars have oeen sent to rural
districts for grain hauling purposes
and were not fit for use. Several in
stances where farmers associations
have repaired the cars out OF their
own pockets also have come to my at
tention
The situation is one that needs
careful study and immediate action.
Wheat must be moved before winter
weather sets in and railroads are tied
up by storms. Unless Kansas City re-
ceives adequate shipments within the
next six weeks there may be a short
age of flour and that household neces-
sity-bread.''
William NJ. Corbettt, president of
the Kansas City Terminal Railroad
| Company, says freight movement now
is of such great proportions in this
district that there is little possibility
| Of a shortage of fuel-either oil or
| coaI-this winter.

STOCKMEN IN NEED OF MONEY
Conference at Chicago Decides to In
woke Financial Assistance From
Treasury and Reserve Banks.

Chicago.-The aid of the United
States treasury, the federal reserve
system and the banks of the country
will be invoked by cattle raisers and
feeders as the result of a conference
held in Chicago recently. The meet
ing was attended by representative
cattlemen, packers and bankers from
the middle West. The cattlemen as
serted serious shortage in the live
stock and meat supply will occur next
year unless additional financing for
the industry is obtained. The amount
Of additional financing necessary was
variously estimated at between ESQ
million and 500 million dollars.
The conference decided to ask the
federal treasury to transfer funds to
the reserve banks to be lent to cattle
ment in the producing districts. A
committee was appointed, represent
ing the Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas
City. st. Louis, Dallas and San Fran
cisco federal reserve districts, to ap-
pear before the federal reserve board
and its advisory council in Washing
ton September 20 and urging adoption
Of measures for furnishing more
credit to the cattle industry. In ad-
dition, the interstate commerce COM
mission will be asked to make grain
shipments preferred, traffic for a
period Of two weeks Finally, the
banks of the country were urged to
extend additional credit to the indus
try.
Speakers Of the cattlemen stated
that the future of the livestock indus
try is promising in so far as this
years abundant crops OF food and
forage are concerned, but that these
advantages cannot be utilized proper
ly and the industry faces a serious
condition unless the growers and
feeders can obtain funds to meet their
needs.
A. E. DeRicqles, president of the
Livestock Association of Denver, then
took up the discussion of Livestock
Finance"
He stressed the necessity of credit
and emphasized the shortage of live
stock, which could be replaced only
by sufficient credit. Montana and wy.
oming, due to drought, he said, need
ed 25 million dollars a year for two
years to replace the damages.
Louis Swift, packed, in addressing
the meeting, predicted lower food
prices, declaring that meat has now
reached its top price and that "eitheI
this crop or the next will bring IS.
cent corn"

Aided by the women's vote, which
