TROOPS READY
FOR SERVICE
IN MISSOURI
Believed, However,
That Armed Forces Will.
Be Required to
Maintain Order.

st. Louis, July 10.-Comparatlve
quiet was reported in the railroad
strike situation in Missouri yester-
day as 1000 troops Of the state
militia stood ready at their armorles
for field service, should they be
needed for the protection OF railroad
employees in operating trains.
1t is generally believed by the OF
ficers that the state troops Will not
be called out for active strike duty
many being of the opinion hat the
action of the governor in issuing the
mobilization order Saturday night
was a motive to impress the striking
railroad shOpmen against violence
or destruction of property. Also
it is not believed the moblllzatlof
will interfere with the encampmen'
of the militia at Camp Knox, Ky.
set for July 16 to 80.

Earl Johnson, age L. years VINO

the Standard Veneer Manufacturing
plant, accidentally fell into the
soalding vat this morning at 9;l5
and scalded both feet and legs to
such a condition that practically
all the skin and a portion OF the
flesh sloughed off.
Had it not been that the vat was
filled with logs, he would have
plunged into water over his head
which would have resulted in instant
death. Young Johnson was en-
ployed by the Standard Veneer Co.
in raising blocks from the vat. The
hook, which he was using to ar
the blocks, pulled out and al
lowed him to fall feet first into the
scalding vat.
A taxi was called TO the scene and

No Reason For Alarm

Nashville, Tenn, July 1O.-Gov.
ALT Taylor last night received a tele-
gram from K. M. Kurm, president
of the Frisco lines, with head
quarters at st. Louis, asking that
state troops be sent Immediately to
Memphis to protect the property OF
employees of his company at that
place.
Governor Taylor, after communl-
eating with Mayor Paine of Mem
phis and the Sheriff of Shelby
county, who said they could handle
the situation, declined to order
troops to Memphis. Both officials
claimed there is no reason for alarm
although admitting that several
minor disorders between The strik-

the recent farm conference, though
not reaching solution of the agri

better Understanding Of the problem,
not only by interests allied to agri-
culture and by the public but by the
farmers themselves.
The conference was called. he said,
in order that the farmer might bring
the story of bis needs to the attention
of the government and the public and
to see If officials and economists could
heln in the situation.
II hope to see some good come out
OF the agricultural conference"
Secretary Wallace stated. Some
policies are concerned The govern
ment must develop some definite
agricultural policy or Industries will
crowd out agriculture.
The age of wealth has created
great cities. which have drawn men
from agricultural districts and turned
them into Industrial channels Agri-
culture must be placed on the same
plane. as a national policy, as in
dustry. for as the populat ton increases
the demand for farm products will be-
come greater. The demand now
equals the supply"
