SOUTHWEST CALLING
FOR HELP TO HARVEST
GREAT WHEAT CROP

The "Big Wheat Belt" harvest of
the Southwest was officially declared
in full swing yesterday by George e..
Tucker, Kansas State Labor Commits
sioner, in telegram to VIM. H. Lewis,
Missouri State LABOR Commissioner,
requesting that 300 harvest hands
from the vicinity of st. Louis be re-
cruited each day until further notice.
Fourteen million acres of wheat
must be taken care Of in Kansas, Tex
as and Oklahoma, Kansas itself must
harvest slightly over 100000 acres.
The cutting of the grain has been go
ing on in these states for the past
week.
In the central and western sections
of Kansas alone, 10000 additional men
must be recruited to harvest the un-
usually large wheat crop.
VIM. H. Lewis, State Labor Com
missioner, told Globe-Democrat re-
porter that in previous years the men
recruited for the wheat fields had so
far exceeded the demand that the
smaller towns in the belt had been ov-
errun with men, who had caused much
trouble and became a nuisance. "This
year." said Lewis, 1--WE plan to recruit
men only as they are needed. The ru-
raj sections and larger cities have been
given a quota to fill, and when that
quota is reached recruiting automat-
ically ceases until more men are need
ed and called for"
According to Lewis, community en-
tertainment centers have been estab-
lished throughout the wheat belt, in
order to provide amusement for the
men. "The average wage of the har.
vesters," Lewis said, "will be from So
to 81 day with free board and lodg.
ing"

Six Killed And
Nine Badly Hurt
In Head-On Wreck
lcontinueo on Paae p


CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-Six dead, nine
seriously injured, including two who may
die, and more than fifty badly bruised
and shaken up was the toll today when
Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern train
number IL met in head-on collision with
a negro Sunady school excursion train
carrying more than 200 persons, at Les
ter station "a suburb of Cincinnati.
The wreck occurred at a sharp curve
In the road, making it impossible for.
either engineer to see the approach of
the other train.
Coroner D. c. Handley, announced late
today he would hold an inquest to deter
mine responsibility for the wreck While
Ohio courts have ruled that inquests may
not be held in railroad cases, he said
that he believed that circumstances in
this case justified an official inquiry.
OF the dead, two were members of the
train crew, Fred Seihnger, fireman of
the excursion train, was found burned
to death in the engine cab of the excur-
sion train and Horace r. Fite, brakeman
on the same train was crushed to death.
The scene as the work of rescuing the
dead and injured was one of horror
Many were pinned beneath heavy tim
bers, badly MANNED and shrieking for
hefp. Others, stunned into unconscious
ness, moaned piteously for help as fire
men lifted the crushing weight from their
imprisoned bodies.

Of any service.
Some Opposition Raised.
Some opposition to President Hard
ing's peace program was raised by
members of the policy committee, their
complaint being on account OF absence
of any provision on wages.
Answering these complaints, union
leaders said that a rehearing by the
lavor board which was to be gained
under the peace program, would doubt
less result in wage advances.
The discussion also brought out the
belief of the union leaders that the
creation of adjustment boards to settle
disputes between roads and workers
might be required of the roads by the
labor board. The union chiefs also
were said to have informed the meet
ing that should the board feel that it
could not force the establishment OF
the adjustment boards that they had
reason to believe that congress would
be asked to amend the transportation
law in this respect.

And Now Takes Up Pulp,

Day rhe AsaecIated Pres.l

WASHINGTON, Aug. /. - Senator
Gooding Of Idaho, chairman of the Re-
publican agricultural tariff bloc, and one
of the senators charged with having a
financial interst in the wool rates recently
voted into the tariff bill, announced to-
day in the senate that he would introduce,
perhaps tomorrow, a resolution proposing
an investigation of the interests, if any.
Of all senators in tariff schedules. He
intimated that the inquiry might be ex-
tended to metropolitan papers opposing
the tariff measure.
Financial Interests Again.
Discussion of the charges of financial
interest of senator's in the tariff which
occupied the senate for several hours last
Saturday, was re-opened by Mr.. Gooding
after Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, had read into the record an ed
itorial from the New York Herald con-
demning the tariff, and particularly the
wool schedule, and urging that the bin be
laid aside until after the November cleo
tions.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota, in
charge of the BILL, declared the writer
OF the editorial did not know "a con-
founded thing" about the measure and
recalled that the same paper had at
IaCkeO senator report
on the bin. Senator Simmons replied that
it was natural for a Republican paper to
take that course before it had ''seen the
light" and come to recognize the pending
bill as mot a protective measure, but

SILK Schedule Completed.
The senate completed consideration of
the silk schedule as rewritten last week
by the finance committee majority, and
took up the schedule dealing with pulp,
paper and books. The controversy over
the proposed five per cent duty on chem
ical wood pulp, the first in the schedule,
was in progress when the senate recessed.
Opponents of the duty claimed, and some
advocates of it conceded, that they had
the necessary votes to return this pulp
to the free list.
MiIady Attacked.
In ageneral onslaught on the silk sched- !
ule, Senator Simmons charged that Hor- |
ace b. Cheney, silk manufacturer of
Connecticut, and "the small coterie, |
which surround him." were demanding j!
Increased duties on silk SO as to shut out /!
cheap silks from the Orient. Manufac- |
turers generally, Mr.. Simmons added, OPP |
posed the increased duties.
Senator Mclean of Connecticut, in |
charge of the silk schedule for the COM
mittee majority, replied that Mr.. Chez J
ney's plants produced only five per cent
of all the silk turned out in this country. /
