The first move by public Or
ganization to avert a strike came
when the American Farm Bureau
federation, representing 1880, 900
farmers, sent petitions to the in
terstate commerce commission
asking an immediate 10 to 20 per
cent reduction in freight rates on
necessities, and announced that It
also would appeal to the labor
board not to grant a new 10 per
cent wage reduction which the
roads have announced they will
seek, but rather to revise wages
generally in accordance with the
cost of living. Concurrence In
these requests should avert the
strike, the federation said, and
volunteered to meet with union
and rail representative as a medi.
ator.
AIl-Week Meetings.
Meetings to last all week will
be started tomorrow by the IL
rail unions which have not yet
issued strike calls, although most
of them have voted for q strike
Leaders Of several OF these unions
announced that at the meetings
they Will oppose strike call in
theshope split between them amt
the five unions already authoriz-
ing a wall-out ay avert a strike.
Union leaders called in by the
labor board were w. S. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men; Warren S. Stone, president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers; William G.. Lee, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen; l.. e. Sheppard,
Conductors, and r. G. Cashen.
president of the Switchmen's
Union of North America.
Purpose Cf Conference.
The conference was called for
the avowed purpose of preventing
strike, according to Ben Hoop
er, vice chairman of the labor
board. He returned tonight fro
Washington where he and other
members of the public group con-
ferred with President Harding.

Mr.. Hooper refused TO say
whether the board regarded the
conference summons as an inves-
tigation of threatened violation |
of the boards orders. 1t was
pointed out, however, that there
would be no violation of the |

der until the men walked out.
Pennsy Appears Thursday.
BY coincidence, the first hear
ing at which any party has been
cited to appear because the board
believed it has violated a decision
is set for the same day as the con-
ference. 10 a. m. Thursday. The
PENNSYLVANIA has been ordered to
appear then because it has not
held an election Of shopmen's rep
resentatiyes as directed by the
board.
Explaining further the public
statement issued by thJ public
group in Washington Sunday. Mr.
Hooper said that the board recog-
nized that there was "a universe
demand for the reduction of freight
rates"
In suggesting translation of the
last wage cut into reduced
freight rates and advising against
further requests for wage reduc-
tions at this time, the board does
not mean that parties may not
come before it with disputes" he
said.
THE -suggestion was l1ade mere
ly as 'modus vivendf for solving
the present transportation prob
lem. We suggest that the roads
cease wage reductions for the pres
ent and reduce rates as step in
the revival of industry. We be-
lieve such action would result in
helping bridge the business de-
preston and lower the cost of liv-
ing.
"Then after the public had been
given a breathing spell, the roads
would be at liberty to come back
to the board with further requests
for wage reductions"
Proposals of Farm Bureau.
Proposals of the American farm
bureau federation were made
known in a statement by j. r.
Howard, its president.
The federation. he said, was
eager and willing to meet with
either railroad executives or en-
ployes or with both if anything can
be accomplished in preventing the
threatened strike. kilograms ask
ing for a conference here have
been sent to both sides.
A 10 per cent reduction on basic
commodities, including farm prod
ucts, food, fuel, building materials
and possibly ore would amount to
between $200.O00,000 and $780,
600, 900, farm bureau officials esti-
mated. A 10 per cent reduction on
everything, they safd. would
amount to about s430. 100000, ap-
the amount by which
wages of railroad employees were
reduced July /.
Rate Cut Voted Down.
President Howard asserted that
he had presented his proposition
for an immediate reduction in
freight rates at a recent meeting

LABOR NOT IMPROVING
Retail Business Is Practically Normal
 in This State.

Little Rock, Aug. 5-(SpeciaD Industrial Employment Survey Bull letin of the United States Department of Labor says of the general labor condition in Arkansas:
 "The improvement noted in lumber has not continued. number Of plants being closed and others oper- ating on part time. There is large unemployment in cottonseed products and railroad repair shops, though the wheat harvest has affected temporary relief to many Retail business is practically normal, gradual industrial improvement is looked for.
 Little Rock-Thee is much unem- ployment, confined chiefly to unskill' ed labor. Railroad repair shops arc operating on 70 to 80 per cent basis with lumber less active, some of the stave mills operating but two or three days a week. Erection of a number of small residences is helping to re lieve the housing shortage Retal sales are about normal"

AVERAGE CROP CONDITION
Arkansas Crops Seems to Be About
 The Average This Week. y.

(By c. F. Marvin, Chief Reporter)
 Little Rock, Aug. 5.-(SpeciaD = Moderate night temperatures prevail ed during the week, but day tempera- lures were high, being from 90 de-
 grees to 100 degrees or more every
 day the highest being 1O5 degrees at Brinkley on the 31st. The mean for
 the week was about 3 degrees above
 normal Light showers occurred in a few counties but in most portions it is getting rather dry, decidedly so in the northeast There was an abundance of sunshine during the week.
 The weather was very favorable for cotton. There was usually enough
 moisture in the soil for growth and
 the hot sunshine checked boil weevil
 and shedding. The crop is said to
 have improved where weevil were
 checked. In counties where weevil were scarce the crop made very good progress and in other places, fair to good progress The condition is very
 good in north portion, fair to very
 good elsewhere. The weather was too
 dry and hot for corn, and some dam age was done to late corn, especially in the northeastern counties, but the bulk of the crop is nearly matured and practically out of the reach of the drouth The dry weather is necess1t- ating considerable effort on the part
 of the rice we'll watered, but owing to the small acreage the crop is usually well watered and doing nicely. It was too hot and dry for pastures, mead
 ows and sweet potatoes, but these crops are still in good condition ex- cept in northern and eastern local ities where the drought is becoming
 severe. Late potatoes are not doing | well ir many places due to unfaVor able weather conditions.

FARM AMENDMENTS ADOPTED
Amendments to Farm Credits Bill Ha.
 Been Adopted.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Disposition of amendments to the agricultural cred it's bill was begun by the senate today but a vote on passage of the measure which is favored by the administra- tion as a substitute for the original Norris bill went over
 Two of score of pending amend ments were adopted after a hard battle.
 One, offered by Senator Smith, a Democrat, South Carolina, would au- thorize loans by the war corporation to associations of agricultural pro- ducers, and the other, offered by Sen ator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, would authorize the corporation to take up 10O,O00,O0O in bonds of the federal farm loan system.
 The Smith amendment was con- tested hotly, Senators Harrison and Williams, both Democrats, Mississ- ippi, La Toilette, Republican, Wiscon- sin, and Ashhurst, Democra, Arizona, led the opposition and fought for dir ect loans to individual producers. The amendment was adopted to 22, with party lines divided.
 Senators Smith, Venroot, Republi- cans. Wisconsin, Shoot, Republican Utah, and Simons, Democrat, North Carolina, championed the Smith amendment Individual loans to all of the farmers of all the state, they declared would break down" the proposed legislation. Senator Smoot said individual loans would require the war finance to have 250000 em- ployers for investigators. That the direct individual plan was "unpracti- cable, unfavorable and preposterous' was asserted by Senator Simmons OeIldIOr IeHIOOl Sdlu that lIle OTlSlHd Norris bill did not contemplate direct loans to individual farmers.
 That the amendment would 'ge the farmer out of the bill altogether was asserted by Senator LaFollette who said it would give benefits prin cipally to parasites to prey on thu farmer" Bank and trust companie would be the principal beneficiaries he added. Senator Ashurst said tn | farmer would be "torpedoed' and re lief mainly to banks, "gorged with i'm provident loans
 The Harrison amendment was ad opted without recod vote or particu lar opposition. Senator Harrison sai the farm loan board had application for loans aggregating $150,0OO,0 900 an only $15 100000 was available for ther due to market bonds.

New Rule Affects Loans on
 Grade and Staple of Cotton

Little Rock, Aug 3.-To guard
 against overloads on cotton, made merely on the warehouse receipt, the Little Rock Clearing House Associa- tiln has put into effect it's new rule which requires in addition to the re- ceipts, certificates showin 3 the grades, staple, color and weight of the cotton on which the loan is made.
 The plan was suggested by the Cot ton Trade Association and has been approved by the Federal Reserve Poard, which first suggested that the banks be better protected on loans by requiring information as to the kind ot cotton offered for security. All 10 Cal clearing house banks and all nOn- her hanks will require the certificates whcE will be attached to the ware house receipt.
 The plan adopted locally is varia- tion of the Memphis plan, which was rejected because of it's expense The Memphis system included a govern ment grader at each warehouse, who stamped the receipt with letters in- dicating the general grade, etc. This plan, it was stated, while practicable for factors market, such as Mem- phis, would not be as we'll fitted for a dealers market like Little Rock be- cause of the extra expense of the gov ernment grader, the delay in move ment of cotton during the rush sea- son, and the wastage of requiring ad ditional samples. Under the Arkansas plan the certificates will be furnished from the warehouse

The erection Of the 1900, O0O-
bushel elevator at Gowanus bay, the
contract for which is now in the
hands of the contractors, the same
firm by the way, which has the con-
tract for building the state-owned
elevator at Grand Forks, N. D., is
another blow directly to the vitals
of the so-called, self-styled "savers-
from-socialism advocates. But OF
course there is a difference. One is
in New York state and the other is
i'm the state of North Dakota. State
owned industries in North Dakota
are "socialistic" of course, but IN
New York state they are simply
state-owned industries. Now isn't
that plain enough? Seems most
anyone could understand it. Couldn't
accuse New York Of having any
socialistic tendencies, for have they
not kicked every socialist out OF
their legislative body that dared at
tempt to take his seat after being
elected by the majority OF the peo-
Pile? OF course it might be that
there are not any of those socialistic
haters around Gowanus Bay. for in
such event they might take no
ton to kick this socialistic elevator
thing into the bay, DON cher know
