Mammoth Sinaloa
Tomato Crop Will
Move Next Month

Within the next two weeks
the mammoth tomato crop
will begin moving northward
from SinalOa, according to re-
ports from the rich West
Coast state, according to re-
ports from Culiacan.
Transportation of the, pro-
duct for which Sinaloa is
famous bids fair to be unin-
terrupted and the crop is said
to be equally as large, if not
larger, than that of last year.
Hundreds of thousands of
dollars were lost to tomato
growers and commission men
because of the Southern Pa
cific de Mexico strike and the
revolution which Immediately
succeeded it.
But for the timely action of
AdolfO de la Huerta, then gov
ernor of Sonora, the crop
would have cen bpractically a
total loss.
Mr.. De La Huerta, failing to
affect a compromise between
the company and the strikers,
took over the road and ran it
with the striking trainmen at
the expense of the state, saw
ing an enormous amount of
perishable products in both
Sonora and SinalOa.
The line was retained but
thirty days and returned to
the American owners in as
good condition as when it was
taken from them.

Kansas Industrial
Court Begins First
Trial of Employers
Seven Topeka Flour Milling
Concerns Accused of Cur.
failing Production to
Bring About Higher Prices

TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. 14.-The first
hearing before the Kansas Court OF In
dustrial Relations. at which employers
are cited on a charge Of violating the
provisions of the Court act prohibiting
curtailnent Of production in an indus
try essential to public welfare to AFFECT
prices js set for tc-morrow, whan
heads os seven Topeka four-rnilling
cohcsrns are to appear as defendants
According to court officials, the pro-
ceedngs originated with the court and
were not prompted by complaints of
individuals. The order stated that the
court had information to indicate that
curtailment of -four production existed
throughout the state. Only Topeka
millers are cited In the present pro-
ceedings, however.
Announcement is made by the mill.
ers that their defense will be a denial
of the counts charge and contention
that it has been found necessary to
curtail production for sound business
reasons, and not 10 affect prices; tha'
the demand for -four has fallen of be-
cause the Northwestern millers are
able to manufacture -four from wheat
purchased in Canada cheaper than
Kansas wheat can be bought, and,
therefore, can place the -four on the
market 81 a barrel cheaper than the
Kansas mllers product.
Another reason, the milers assert
is the recent revision order by the
United States Shipping Board, cutting
tn export duty on wheat from rs cents
to cents hundred, thus, they say,
enabling European millers to buy
wheat in the United States and from
it manufacture -four wnich they can
market at price lower than American
-four can be marketed abroad, the en-
port duty on -four having been left
intact by the Shipping Board The
millers generally admit they have re-
duced their forces materially and
that some plants have closed down
temporarily.
The case attracted wide attention
in the ranks of both employers and
employees.
