HOW TO HELP SHEEPMEM

According to well-posted sheep
men. the best way to help them Is for
Congress to enact a genuine truth
in fabric BILL" The tariff is all right,
but sheepmen say give them the fab
ric bill and they will get by.
1t is pointed out that duties af-
fecting the wooden industry as a
whole favors the manufacturer; that
the sheepmen only get protection.
that they get the leavings, while the
manufacturer gets the velvet.
Alexander Walker. President of the
National Sheep and Wool Bureau of
America. issued a bulletin the first Of
April. In the bulletin he shows that
to the sheepmen the enactment of the
fabric bill would serve the purpose
far better than any tariff bill yet pro-
posed, Mr.. Walker says:
"Our wool growers have to fear a
menace even greater than that of for
eign wool. 1t Is unidentified shoddy,
which is sold as virgin new wool
under cover OF the terms, all wool
and pure wool While re-worked
rags are permitted to be sold unident-
flied as virgin wool. an embargo or a
tariff to Keep out foreign wool can no
more protect our wool growers than
can a fence to keep out foxes protect
a flock of chickens, while a colony Of
weasels are permitted within their
enclosure.
1.-The French-Capper Truth in Fab
ric bill failedtxhen the last Congress
adjourned, but Senator Capper and
Representative French have arranged
to introduce 1t again as soon as pos
| sible after Congress u work.
| This measure proposes to force all
foreign and domestic fabric manu-
facturers to stamp their cloth enter
ing our interstate commerce with its
content of virgin wool and of shoddy.
The unidentified use OF shoddy turns
the wool growers natural market
over to the rag pickers. No industry,
whose product may be counterfeited
unhindered, can long survive. We
have no industry more important
than sheep husbandry. To permit it
to be wiped out and to force the Uni
ted States to depend on foreign coun-
tries for her wool supply would both
entail an enormous economic loss and
place us in a position Of grave peril
in time of war.
without the use of shoddy, three
times the amount of virgin wool that
is produced annually would be re
quired for the manufacture of the
cloth that Is turned out az all wool,
or pure wool from year to year
Yet, though the world produces only
a third of the virgin wool per annun
that 1t actually needs. even what Il
produced is not used. being crowded
out by shoddy.
without the protection that would

REPORTED IN HEATED DISPUTE

that the joint operation of the West

a suggestion Of people not allied with
the Southern Pacific and was a con-
dition forced on the latter by the
emergency Of the situation and the
positions of the two roads on the
coast.
JOINT OPERATION FOUGHT
McAdoo ordered the joint opera

protests, and to this day he does not
think he made a mistake in so doing
1t Is known.
However, the joint operation Is
still a very sore spot with a lot OF the

sore for a long time to come on both

Kansas Harvest Labor Scarcity
Now Being Met.
Men at Distant Points Warned
Not to Start.

Kansas City. June 23.-The harvest
labor shortage in Kansas is clearing
so rapidly that word was sent out to-
day by A. L. Barkman, field represen-
tative of the United States employm ent
service here warning men who must
come from distant points to stay away.
Announcement also was made that no
more negro labor could be placed.
The drift of harvest hands from
Oklahoma and the south where cut
ting is being completed together with
a good movement from nearby points.
has virtually filled the Requirement of
Kansas farmers, Mr.. Barkman said.
Reports from Wichita showed the area
about there was well supplied with
men today. Mr.. Barkman said.
There is still a demand in the CEN
trail portion of the state" he said.
But the movement of men into Kan
sas from nearby points will be suffi-
cient to take care of the situation"

call of the Kansas wheat belt for 25,-

in DEMAND FLOOD
People Back Home Are Telling
Congress Their Desires.
Disarmament Petitions Now
Lead All the Rest.

Washington. June 2S.-'The people
back home" are flooding congress
with demands that immediate action
be taken toward international dis
armament.
"a survey of the record during the
last three weeks reveals ninety-three
petitions for disarmament as COM
pared with 1876 for thirty or forty
other legislative measures. Many of
these come from churches but others
are from various groups of citizens.
Indications are now that congress
will meet this demand by passing the
Borah disarmament amendment to the
naval appropriation bill. Sentiment
for it is growing in the house in pref
erence to the Porter resolution.
The record gives an index of what
the country is demanding of congress.
With disarmament far in the lead
recognition of the Irish republic comes
second with thirty-one petitions.
Greater aid for Wounded soldiers is
third with thirteen, while next in order
are relief for the Near East and the
Smith-Towner education bill with
twelve and eleven, respectively.

TELLS OF "SAFETY FIRST"
Isaiah Hale of Santa Fe Talks to To-
peka Rotarians.

peka Rotarians.
"The Safety First movement is
based on the little known economic
the most valuable thing in the world"
Isaiah Hale. safety commissioner for
the Santa Fe, declared in an address
before the Topeka Rotary club at the
noon luncheon of the club today.
Hale'S talk was illuminated and
pointed with the best series of stories
that any recent speaker before the
Rotarians has produced. He kept the
interest of the hearers up to the point
at which they hated to have him stop.
There were more than twice as
many civilians killed in industrial ac-
cidents in the United States during
the war than there were American
soldiers killed in France" Hale told
the Rotarians. I'm 1919, one work
man was killed in an industrial acct
dent every fifteen minutes, and some
one injured every sixteen seconds"
Hale said. He pointed out that this
statement meant that more than
5000 men and women were killed and
injured every day in the Industrial
work of the United States during 1919.
Hale cited the excitement and hor-
ror caused by a recent railoard acct
dent at Porter, Ind, in which forty
two persons were killed.
Yet. it is a coincidence, that there
automobile accidents. People object
to collective killing. probably because
it is so mussy" Hale said.
I'VE stand idly by and watch an an
nual carnage in industry which is
greater than the total losses of the
thing in America today is a life," Hale
declared.
Hale said that statistics show that
only 8 per cent of the accidents on
the Santa Fe are due to unsafe con-
ditions which it is within the power of
the officials of the company to rem
edy; that z per cent of the injuries
are purely accidental, and could not
have been avoided by reasonable care,
and that the other 80 per cent are
man made" due to the carelessness
of men themselves for their own safe
ty and that of the men working with
them.
He asked the cooperation of the
Rotarians in using reasonable care to
prevent accidents. I'VE need not only
your cooperation, but the co-opera-
ton of similar organizations in every
one of the thirteen states which our
lines touch" he asserted.
1.-THE first essential to safety, is right
living. I am the only safety first man
who breaches that doctrine. I assure
you that if all the homes of the work
ers of today were happy homes, we
would eliminate the majority of our
accidents" the safety commissioner
said.
The action Of the Rotary club in
asking police protection against the
open-cut-out fiends who have been
in the habit of driving past the Cham
Der of Commerce at noon and drown
ing the voices of speakers with their
exhausts, seems to have borne fruit.
Only one open cut-out interfered to-
day. 1t belonged on a motorcycle.
