SEE HALT TO ROAD BUILDING
cussed by Mississippi Valley Confer
ence in Session at Chicago.

Chicago.-Abnormal cost of labor
and materials has hit the Mississippi
Valley roadbuilding deadly rap,
roadmen said here recently
Delegates to the conference of the
Mississippi Valley state highway de-
partment, comprising nine states, said
the abnormal conditions would halt
road construction for a year or two,
although there are plenty Of funds
available.
The Minnesota delegation reported
the Minnesota motor car license fee
now only Sis to be raised by con-
stitutional amendment to that of 9TH
er states. License fees go into the
state road fund.
Through routes were urged by Cliff
ford Older, Springfield, ILL.,, who said
main travelled roads running through
two or more states should be mum
bered uniformly to avoid confusion.
Indiana, Illinois. Wisconsin, Michi.
gan, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Kansas were represented.

THE MIDDLEMAA IS BLAMED
More Direct Dealings With the Con-
sumner Wanted by Producers All
Over the Country.

Washington.-In of a wide
spread spirit of unrest and dissatfsfac-
ton among the farmers of the country
so threatening as to likely disturb the
existing economic structure, is cOnsid-
cred by government officials to be re-
vealed in more than 10000 replies to
QUESTIONABLE recently sent out by
the postoffice department
The replies as thus far digested
were summarized in a report prepared
by George L. Wood, superintendent Of
the postoffice departments division Of
rural mails, and read to the senate
postoffice committee by James 1.
Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmaster
general. The views Of the 10000 or
more farmers were obtained by the
broadcasting of 100000 copies Of
QUESTIONABLE throughout the agricul-
tural states asking for suggestions
whereby the postoffice department
might aid in cutting down the cost of
living.
Answers to the missionaries have
been coming in since the middle Of
December at the rate of 1000 a day
and as summarized by officials show
the major complaints of the farmers
IN numerical order to be:
Inability to obtain labor to work the
farms. hired help and the farmers
children having been Iured to the city
by higher wages and easier living.
Higher profits taken by middlemen
for the mere handling of food prod
ucts.
Lack of proper agencies of contact
between the farmer and the ultimate
consumer.
Many OF the replies. said the official
who had looked over them, probably
as many as so per cent, indicate that
the writer's contemplate either leaving
their farms or curtailing acreage IN
der cultivation because of one or more
OF the three major grievances and be
cause Of the growing feeling against
non-producing city dwellers.
Commenting tonight on the replies.
Assistant Postmaster General Blakes-
lee said:
"Such a condition at a time when
the predominant cry is for production
and still more production, cannot but
constitute a grave menace"

FIND So |. W. W. MEN GUILTY
After So Hours Jury at Tacoma,
Washington, Convicted Them Of
Criminal SyndicaIism-

Tacoma, Wash.-A jury trying thir-
ty-six Industrial Workers Of the
World on a charge of criminal syn
dicalism. returned a verdict OF guilty
late the other night after being out
fifty-eight hours.
The men were arrested during the
activity against radical suspects in
the Northwest which followed the
shooting of four ex-sOldiers during an
Armistfce day parade at Centralia,
Wash. In the recommendation re-
turned with the verdict it was asked
that the court exercise as much elem
ency as possible, as it was the or
ganization rather than the individual
which had been on trial.
AS the thirty-six defendants passed
out of the courtroom and filed back
to their cells, one raised his voice in
a radical song. The others immedi-
ateIy joined and the march back to
the Jail was made with apparently
The entire thirty-six singing Justify.

EPIDEMICs RUN IN CYCLES
Disease Organisms Reproduce Them
selves Says an English Physician
Who Has Studied Them.

Washington.-Rec Of infIu-
enza epidemics in cycles thirty-three
or sixty-six weeks apart are discussed
in statement issued by the bureau
OF the census based on a study made
by Dr.. John Brownlee, an English
physician, who advanced the cycle
theory.
1T is now exactly sixty-six weeks
since the mortality peak Of the cpl
demic in Chicago" the statement
said. THE same is true for New
York City and Washington. In all
three of these places influenza is
epidemic.
The periodicity suggests that we
may be dealing with injecting organ
isms which not only have the power
to reproduce themselves in a virulent
from continuously for long period
susceptible persons are exposed, but
which also have the power of develop
ing in cycles of thirty-three or sixty
six weeks This recurrence of cpl
denies of 1889, 1890, 1913 and 1920
all have common etiology.

Changes in the governments finan-

ly, have made it necessary to aboI-
ish hundreds OF the repositories and
revise the plan for distribution of gov
eminent moneys among banks en-
ployed since prior to 1912.
While the treasury is cutting off
the inactive accounts it is also reduc-
ing the balances carried by many
other banks-in all. in fact, where
government transactions do not re-
quire the use Of large sums.
Scientific apportionment," it is
said. viii be based in the future for

banks already struck off are $50

$1,000 and which were designated as
government repositories during the
administration of Franklin McVeagh

CUMMINS-ESCH
MEASURE READY
Conference Committee Reaches
Agreement on Rem0deied
Railroad Bill.
MULE OUT ANTI-STRIKE CLAUSE
President However, is Authorized to
Appoint a Board of Appeals to
Hear Disputes

Washington. = Complete agreement
on railroad legislation, along the lines
forecast recently has been reached by
the conference.
The remodeled Cummins-Esch bill
will be reported to both houses within
a few days and the leaders are conf
dent that it Will be given final ap-
prevail and sent to the President next
week in ample time to place it on the
statute books relinQuished by the gov
eminent to their owners.
Radical labor organizations, which
have been conducting a drive to de-
feat the legislation and force an ex-
tension of government control, will
fight adoption of the conference re-
port and urge the President to veto
the bill
A Rate Return of 5Iz Per Cent.
In brief, the two chief points Of diff
ference, which were practically the
only questions remaining for settle
ment, were adjusted by the confer
ence committee recently as follows:
Rule or rate making, section 8 Of
the Cummins bill, providing for an
average return of 51k per cent re-
mains in the bill, but as a concession
to the house conferees the Interstate
Commerce Commission is given
authority after a year and a half or
two years to change the percentage
as it sees fit. Excess earnings over
6 per cent are to be divided equally
between carriers and contingent
fund to be administered by the Inter
state Commerce Commission for the
benefit of the railroads, particularly
for loans to weaker roads
Strikes Rest With Public Opinion.
Labor disputes provi-
sion of the Cummins bill goes out,
but the house voluntary arbitration
plan is stiffened by the creation Of
a board of appeals Of five members to
be appointed by the President. Ad-
iustment boards which will hear
cases in the first instance will have
an equal number of representatives
of carriers and employees Public
opinion will be relied upon to prevent
strikes.
The Cummins bill provisions thrown
into the discard include the proposed
transportation DOdTu> anu compulsory
consolidation of the roads into from
twenty to thirty-five systems. The
compromise bill bears a close resem-
blance to the Esch bill as passed by
the house.
Except for section 6, providing for
a guaranteed return, most Of the dis
tinguishing features of the Cummins
bill as passed by the senate have
been eliminated.

HUN DELEGATES BALK AGAIN
Demand for German War Grimm
aIs-LeaVes for Berlin.

Paris.-Kurt Won Lersner, head of
the German peace delegation here,

throughout regarding the question Of
extradition. He said he had held that
no German officials could be instru-
mental in carrying out the extradition
clauses Of the treaty, and consequent
ly the matter, having come up in q
definite final form, there was nothing
left for him to do except to resign
and go home.

GET NO INCREASE
Nothing Accomplished After a
Discussion Lasting More
Than Seven Hours.
WILL CONTINUE CONFERENCES
But Government viii Not Guarantee
Any Advance Beyond March /.
Says Director Hines.

Washington.-Offic of the rail-
road brotherhoods emerged recently
from a 7-hour wage increase confer
ence with Walker D. Hines, railroad
administrator. absolutely silent as to
what, if anything, had been accom-
plished, Director Hines was also non
communicative on the subject of the
days deliberations, but from several
sources it was learned nothing was
accomplished and general discussion
Of the financial situation of the rail-
roads and the necessities of the work
ers had occupied the day.
No Guarantees Beyond March I.
Conferences on the wage demands
of the unions affecting 2 million
workers will be resumed and kept up
until some agreement or a rejection
from the railroad administration re-
suits. Director Hines, it is under
stood, has several proposals to submit
to the workers, in view of the fact
that the time is short before the gov
eminent must relinquish control of
the roads. Certain it is, say those in
close touch with railroad administra-
ton affairs, the government is not 60
ing to make any guarantees of gen
eral wage increases; that it can not
see its way clear to do so even were
it to retain the roads and certainly
could not increase wages to hold be-
yond March 1. 1t is probable Direc-
tor Hines may see a way clear to
make certain recommendations re-
garding wage conditions in his final
report on government administration
when the roads are turned back.
a Conference Decision Delayed
In congress conferees on the rail
road bill took definite action elimi-
mating the proposed transportation
board of the measure as passed by
the senate. Along with it went the
Cummins bill provision for compul-
sorry consolidation of the railroads
into twenty to thirty-five large sys-
TENS.
Absence of two of the conferees
caused a delay in a decision on the
only two remaining questions of ma
TOR Importance. These are section 6, re-
lating to rate making, and the wage
adjustment section. The conferees
are so near an agreement on both
these propositions that action is ex-
pected as soon as all are on hand
again.

Removal OF the officials of the coal
miners district union outside the
state would not remove them from
the jurisdiction of the industrial court
law, insofar as any orders they might
issue would have effect in this state.
This was the opinion expressed by a
high sEte official 1t was pointed
out that in case a strike were called
by a union official outside the state
the alleged crime would be commit
ted in Kansas and extradition would
be exercised to bring such officiol to
trial in the county in Kansas IN
which the strike order was put into
effect.
