STATE FIGHT CLOSE
By GRAFTON WILCOX.

President Harding Is keeping his
hands off in the hot political night
brewing in Ohio among hts own
Republican friends for the Sena-
torial and gubernatoriai nomina-
tions.
The President admits to his inti-
mate associates that II Is a difficult
matter for him to have to sit on
the side lines with the lively con-
tests that are coming at home for
the big political plums. but he has
necessarily declared himself a neu-
tral not only in Ohio but in all
other States where lively scrambles
are ensuing for Senatorial nomina-
tions.
The President has recently been
besieged by party leaders in sew
eral States to say a good word for
some candidate known to be his
personal friend. He has positively
declined every request. Not only
will he remain a neutral as be-
tween Republican contestants in
his own State and in Republican
Senatorial primaries elsewhere, but
he is not even going to make a
general appeal for Republican sue
cess in the forthcoming Congress
sionaI election. He has let it be
known that he prefers to have
the people render a verdict on his
administration without any solicit
tation or coaching from him.
To a group of friends recently
the President said that the Presi-
dent of the United States had no
business taking an active part in
the Senatorial contest of any State
in the Union. mot even my own
State" He said he had enough to
look after the executive affairs of
the government. From Ohio, of
course, the pressure upon Mr..
Harding has been much greater
than from any other State. When
the primary contest is over, of
course. the nominees will have the
benefit of his personal advice and
counsel.
The intensity of the Republican
contest in Ohio is to be increased
by the expected announcement of
Walter +. Brown, of Toledo, as a
candidate for United States Sena-
tor against Representative s. d.
Fess, of Yellow Creek, chairman of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee.
Mr.. Brown. who is in Washing
ton as ex-officio chairman of the
joint Congression committee on
Reorganization of the Executive
Departments. and Mr.. Fess are well
known in the State. Both are
close followers of Mr.. Harding.

FARMING OUTLOOK

HARDING'S EXPERT
Asserts Defects Exist in
Financing Agricultural
Operations.

Conditions In the farming indus
try, which since the war has suf-
fered the worst depression in its
history. have taken definite turn
for the better. according to Eugene
Meyer, jr.
Meyer conveyed this information
to President Harding, in special
report on trip he took at the
Presidents direction through farm
ing States of the West. He trav-
eled more than 1900 miles.

that the unprecedented depression
which dealt such a hard blow to
the agricultural interests is in some
sections a thing OF the past; that
in other sections it is rapidly pass
ing; and that everywhere hope and
confidence are taking the place of
the despair of six months ago"
Credit conditions were found to be
everywhere improving.
War Finance Loans Help.
Meyer said the s333.000.000 War
Finance Corporation loan to banks
for farmers had greatly assisted in
relieving the credit stringency. Bu;
fundamental defects exist. he said.
in the financing of agricultural op-
erations, particularly livestock
raising. He made these recon-
mendations:
/. Enactment of legislation spe-
officially authorizing the organiza-
tion of institutions to rediscount
the paper of livestock loan COM
panies.
2. Recognition of the, need for
the orderly marketing of agricul-
tural products in a more gradual
way over a longer period, and the
adjustment of banking laws and
regulations with this end in view.
3. Establishment of a rediscount
facility to make it possible for CO.
operative marketing organizations
to obtain adequate funds.
1. Extension of the powers of the
Federal Reserve banks to include
the purchase in the open market of
eligible paper secured by nonper-
ishable agricultural commodities,
properly warehoused.
5. ENCOURAGEMENT of State nom
member banks to enter the Federal

BREAD PRICE RAISE
IS Seen AS BAKERS
SIGN UNION TERMS
Keeping Old Wage Scale
Will Cause Boost, Is
Assertion.

There will be no bakers strike
this year. but the price Of bread
may be raised. These are the two
dominant features emanating from
a conference of employing bakers
and their union workmen yesterday
the former capitulated TO the de-
mands of the unions for n continue
ton of the 1921 contract.
The employing bakers had at
tempted to reduce the wage scale
for the year, beginning today. but
were met with stern resistance on
the part of the union. For a time
there was a deadlock over the sit
uation until yesterday. when COM
mittees OF the two organizations
met to settle the controversy. which
ended in the employers signing the
1921 wage scale agreement.
Keep Old Scale.
A leading member of the Employ
ing Bakers Association said last
night:
The workmen would not give
one inch in the negotiations. and
il the employers had insisted that
the wage scale be reduced the 10
per cent suggested there would
have been a strike. A bread strike
is attended by more serious conse-
quences than many others, and, re-
alizing this, we gave in and signed
last years agreement for another
year.
An attempt of the union to put
over another holiday on us, how
ever. did not go through. As il is,
we are forced through this agree
ment to pay time and a half for
every legal holiday I'm the year
with the exception Of Armistice
Day. The union wanted to include
this day, but We would not stand
for it.
Operate At Loss.
The employing bakers of Wash
ington are operating at a loss. all
of them, and the only way / can
see for us to save our business n
to raise the price of bread. The
wages we are now paying are the
peak of wartime wages-S1 an hour
for night work and 90 cents an
hour for day work! which means
IS a day for regular days and Sl2
for holidays.
No action has been taken Oh
raising the price of bread. but we
can see no other alternative ex-
cept to go into bankruptcy"

The piaest,s Appeal

We cannot help but believe that the strong case
made by the Literary Digests editorial in the current
issue for the starving children of the Near East,
which we reproduce this morning, will loose the
purse strings of the people of Phoenix and vicinity
as it no doubt win those of the whole country.
We have not been sufficiently Mortified by the
pictures which have painted the stricken part
of the world since the war, where of the horse
men of the Apocalypse has been trampling down
millions
There are so many of us and it takes little
feed one of those little for year. that the
task. if undertaken by the American people of saw
ing those starving millions, would be light one.
We would ourselves be the better for its accomplish
ment It would remove the callousness which grows
upon us in our ease and prosperity.
We have never yet understood the horror of the
>stuation in the Near East. There before
in all the history Of the world such awful after
math of war. Never before it spread
broad an area, enveloping whole peoples
We have been reminded, it is true, of the condi-
tions in Armenia and throughout the Near East, But
the reminders have come to us mostly from commits
without. however, that appeal which is necessary
stir a nation And these reminders have great
part been lost in the plague of propaganda which
serves to fill the countrys wastepaper baskets.
We think, though, and it would be to shame
if is not that this appeal of the Literary Digest
will be awakening of the nation. 1t should go
straight to the heart of every man and woman, and
all should be stirred to action for the relief
of the millions who the verge of the most
horrible of deaths

was distributed. During those sad
weeks, when there was so little food
at Alexandropol, more than two
thousand children died.
Revoke the cruel sentence. Stop
the order to reduce all relief work
twenty five per cent. Thank God it
is in your power at this Easter time
to give life in place of death. health
in place of sickness, laughter in place
of tears. You can speak the word
of resurrection which will call back
some little child from the dark valley
of shadow and flood its new life with
sunshine.
Two things will fill your Easter
day with sweetest joy: the know
ledge that Armenia's children did not
wait for you, and trust in you, and
appeal to you in vain: and the voice
OF the Risen Christ. the Lover of lit
tie children, speaking to your soul,
and saying: "Ye have done it unto
Me. Ye have done it unto Me. .
So deeply have we. as publishers
of the Literary Digest, been stirred
by the tragedy impending among the
innocent children of Armenia, that
we would feel a heavy share of res
possibility for the needless death of
countless little ones If we did not do
as We are urging you to do, and give,
still again, a substantial contribution
to save their lives. Therefore, altho
we have given several times before,
we feel that we can Motive must
not-do less in the present crisis
than add Immediately another five
thousand dollars to help save the
children of Armenia from the death
that threatens them.
