Mr.. Walsh was several times inter-
rnpted by the chair and counsel for
the roads, but interposition by some
members Of the board invariably al
lowed the examination to proceed.
After outlining the activities of the
labor committee, Of which he was
chairman, Mr.. Gray explained the basis
of his majority report on the subject
of establishing national boards of ad-
justment. This report was rejected by
the member roads, it was brought out,
and a minority report of w. w. At
terbury vice president of the Penn
sylvania, adopted instead.
The majority report of March 80,
1920, Mr.. Gray said, was represented
with the idea that agreeing to ma
tional boards, which were urged by
the employees, was the easiest way
TO settle disputes.
'The report was not recommenda.

of the committee had an open mind
on whether boards Of adjustment

boards was that they would require

Mr.. Gray declared under questioning,
that he had resigned as chairman OF
the labor committee when the mem.

hospital here, and consigning the hos
pltal TO the use of war veterans.
FThe bill authorizing the construc-
ton Of hospital at sulphur creates
also a soldier relief commission TO be
appointed by the legislature and the
American Legion.
The sulphur hospital bill was
amended in the house to remove the
provision that the furnishings of the
Clinton santorium should be taken
70 the new building ut Sulphur.
The house voted down resolution
by Eli l.. Admire, Republican, Of
Oiton, which would have authorized
a trip Of all the legislators by special
train TO all state institutions.
Political maneuverng occupied part
OF the time in the lower house at its
morning session today.
A resolution was introduced by
l.. 4. Pearson, Democrat Of Hollis,
calling on the investigation commit
tee to report to the house the number
Of detectives and auditors employed
in its Investigations and the amount
paid them. The measure met resis-
tance from the Republican side and
was tabled by party vote.
Another political move was taken
when the house adopted the report
Of the investigation committee asking
the governor to remove George i.
Short, assistant attorney general, on
the ground that he was in the en-
ploy of a private corporation. The
Democratic minority in the house
made no fight ON the adoption of the
report and this vote also was on a
party basis.
The question of adjournment was
disposed of for the present when the
house voted to postpone indefinitely
consideration of the senate concur
rent resolution setting today as the
date for adjournment.

FARMERS MEET IN ZION.
Leaders of Utah Farm Interests Dis
cuss Pressing Problems.

Salt Lake City.-Stressing consider
ations of economic conditions as they
affect agricultural interests, 500
members of the Utah state farm bu-
reau opened their annual convention
here January 6.
From the various angles of banking,
road building, taxation, legislation,
and. above other things, marketing,
the different speakers gave express
sion to the urgent need that agricul-
ture be placed upon better business
busis, that the farmers, through or
ganization and otherwise, come to
fuller appreciation and realization of
their Importance in the life Of the
country.
In discussions of the reasons for the
problems which farmers have faced
in the years gone by and particularly
those bred as a result of the general
readjustment process in progress, the
broad scope of these difficulties was
emphasized. 1t was pointed out that
the present commodity prices are re-
suit of national and international
conditions and that to meet the
changed situation the farmers must
adjust their operations on this basis.
