'AGRICUL. TuRAL bloc WlELDS
power In SENATE; CAPPER OF
KANSAS ORIGINATED THE idea
Group of Senators in Virtual Control of Legis-
lation in the Upper Branch of Congress Con-
sists of About 20 Men; Republicans and
Democrats Are Members.

+ has espoused the cause Of the
| farmer.
Several months ago it seemed to
him as if the railroads and the
other highly capitalized interests
were crowding the farmer into the
corner in the matter of obtaining
relief. He conferred with several
of his colleagues close to the farm
and found that their views coincid-
ed with his own. This was the be-
ginning of the agricultural bloc.
The same senators still meet often
at the Capper home, but the group
has grown from two or three to
nearly score, and includes demo-
Gratis as well as republicans.
Ere long there was added to the
Capper group this senator from
Iowa, Mr.. Kenyon. MIR. Kenyon, a
progressive, had been interested
in the farmer, of course, and also,
to marked extent, in uplift legisla-
ton. Naturally the group soon in
cluded as well Senator Norris, of
Nebraska, chairman of the agri-
culture committee, progressive and
bitterly opposed, apparently on gen.
eral principles, to almost every
thing that Senator Penrose and his
group advocated. Senator LaFol-
lette, of Wisconsin, Joined. SO did
Senator Ashhurst, Of Arizona, DEM
acrat.
Came also, impelled by the belief
that the farmer was being crowded
from the map by relief legislation
for other classes. Senator Pat Har-
rison, of Mississippi, young, vigor-
Gus, a new member in the senate
and with big following of cotton
growers. H
This is pretty nearly what the
country calls the agricultural bloc.
That is the group in control OF
legislation in the senate today. 1t
is told in the cloak rooms that
when they took the conservative
Mr.. Lodge into camp recently 1t
was under penalty of framing a
wider coalition with the democrats.
Indications are, however, that
the bloc Is out for more effective
government regulation of industry.
Senator Kenyon, one of the two
chairmen leaders, introduced the
other day bill to regulate the in
dustry. Other regulatory meas
ures seem destined to follow. The
farmer is in the saddle.

Pennsylvania Lines, Erie
System and Louisville and
Nashville Have Been
Dropped From Group No. !
WESTERN ROAD ADDED
TO THE LIST INSTEAD
San Diego and Arizona Rail-
road Chosen AS One Line
on Which the Men Will
Strike on October 80.

Chicago, Oct 16 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Final arrangements
for q general railroad strike in
tended to tie up the national trans
portation system through a walk
out of the 100000 employees rap
idly We're nearing completion to-
night with the days developments
bringing two important changes in
original plans. Foremost was a
decision not to include the Penn
syfvania lines and the Erie railroad
in the carriers on which the first
walkout is scheduled to begin at 6
a. m. October 80.
The San Diego and Arizona rail-
road was added to the first of the
four groups into which the unions
have divided roads for strike pur-
poses and it was decided to order
the three succeeding groups out at
4S-hour intervals instead of twen-
ty-four. Under this plan, with the
men on the roads il group No. l
walking out October so. the strike
would be in full effect November 5.
The Louisville C Nashville rail-
road also was dropped fr m the
first group, according to the list
given out by union leaders.
Roads Are Reassigncd.
These changes were said by
union leaders to complete reassign-
nlent of roads to the first group on
which walkouts would take place
and the following was made known
as the official list carriers in
that group:
Kansas city soutllerr, Missouri
Pacific, ST. Louis Southwestern

While no official information
was forthcoming as to what group
the Pennsylvania lines would be
assigned, it was understood that
they would be laced In group
three, on which the wa,lkouts are
to start November 3. All walkouts
are to begin at a. m. standard
time.
Transfer of tho Pennsylvania
from group one was unexplained
~, Union leaders blIf caused con-
siderable surprise. as that road has
been considered by the unions as
the most antagonistic of any TO
them and 1t was ,lieved that the
first strike would be ordered on IT.

been deserted by virtually all lead
