Only 3 Industries Lose
Shortage of Mem Indicated
in W h eat Areas of the
Middle Western States

WASHINGTON, July 9.--Ths' United
States is striding vigorously toward
Industrial prosperity, according to the
economic summary for the month Of
June. issued to-day by the employment
service Of the United States Depart
ment Of Labor.
Employment is increasing, the sur
vey said, despite unsettled conditions
In the coal fields and cotton textile in
dustry and the railroad controversies
OF the sixty-fve leading cities Of the
country, ffty-two reported increased
employment, while thirteen reported
decreased employment during June.
Seasonal Lay-OR Blamed
A noteworthy feature of the survey
the department said, was that all IN
dustries but the stone, clay and glass
products indicated increases in EN-,
ployment. In these three industries
it was said, the decrease was largly
due to seasonal lay offs.
Director General Jones Of this en-
ployment service, declared the "coun'
try is steadily but surely forging it1
way toward a period Of industrial
prosperity III winch IL ID poSS1pie IND
the labor supply will not equal the de.
mand." A note of optimism, he added
pervades practically every industry If
every section Of the country.
The survey indicated, according Il
Mr.. Jones, that building activities were
developing SO that a shortage OF skilled
building craftsmen was becoming ap'
parent in many sections of the country
Heat Hastens Wheat Harvest
The hot weather was reported to have
fastened wheat cutting in Kansas and
Nebraska, which, coupled with trans
portation difficulties, has caused a
temporary shortage in harvest fields Of
the Middle West"
Many difficulties, the departm snt
further stated, beset the handling OF
the labor supply for the harvest season
in tbs wheat belt in Texas, Oklahoma
North Dakota and South Dakota. The
advance of cutting dates occasioned BY
ripening Of wheat through excessive
heat, shortage of men and many other
obstacles, it was said, has made the
task of the United States Farm Labor
Bureau in handling the employment
situation one of the most difficult in
it's history
Through transportation difficulties
the north and northwest sections o,
Kansas had found it difficult to obtair
sufficient men, the department said
adding that cit is not SO much of a
question of shortage as of uneven dis
tribution." The bureau was said TO be
receiving kilograms daily from Lincoln
Hastings and Syracuse, Neb., asking fol
hundreds of men.

Soviet Attitude
Threatens Success
Of Hague Farley
Refusal of Russians TO Re-
store Seized Property
May Cause an Adjourn
ment of the Conference

THE HAGUE, July (By The Asso-
ciated Press) 1.-THE Experts Confer
ence on Russian Problems was held on
through great crisis, but Is not yet
considered out Of danger. The danger
arises from the attitude Of tho Rus
confscated property, and prominent
European representatives frankly de-
clared to-day that unless the Soviets
made many concessions from their in
transigeant policy announced Friday
it would be quite useless TO continue
the conference.
The English delegation remains dog
gedly optimistic. It believes that a
suitable compromise will be found on
the vital problem Of the property of
foreigners In Russia. The Italians also
are hopeful. The pessimistic groups
think that the Russians do not care
whether the conference succeeds or col
vantageous separate agreemnts with
different financial groups and thereby
obtain immediate credits, for which
they constantly clamor and which the
conference may long postpone, even
If general accord is reached.
Such Is brief summary Of the SIT
uatlon as the conference is about to
start another week Of active negotia-
lions.
"Russia's plan for restitution is not
restitution at ALL" said one gloomy del
egate to-day. 1.-The Bolsheviki have no
intention to restore property, but plain
~ indicate tina THEY will distribute
concessions, including appropriated
property, to the concession hunters who
have the most money. II the former
owner happens to have ample funds
to develop his factories or mines he
has a good chance of getting them
back, otherwise no."
There are some Indications that the
Russian leaders are talking for Com
munistic home consumption and that,
while insisting that restitution is i'm
possible, they will in practice consent
to arrangements for virtual restora-
ton, without seeming to do so. This
appears to be the crux Of the whole
difficulty, and that is why European
delegates, wishing to avoid destroying
pitfalls, have decided to cease talking
for the moment about absolute restitu-
ton. BY the same token the Bolshe-
wiki will cease their constant cry for
credits.
Both sides appear to realize that
they have been moving in 3 hopeless
circle. The immediate problem is to
find compromise which would save
the face" Of the Communists and sat
isfy the demands of the western coun-
tries, which hold property rights to De

question of whether the calling out OF

1t was reported to-day that two com
panies of guarasmen would be dis
. patched to Beardstown, H., where both
the Burlington and Alton roads have
large shops. Plans were reported as
IN the making for mobilization of the
entire Illinois national guard, should
the situation require this.
From St. Louis came advices declar-
ing that all the Missouri national
guard remained modified, with some of
its units on the way or reacy to move

Several disturbances in connection
with the strike occurred to-day The
most serious reported was at Bloom
ington, H., where William L. Callahan,
q striker, was shot and seriously
wounded by William Ringheisen, a
boiler foreman for the Chicago &
Alton, following an alteration in
which Ringheisen was said to have
been tainted because he remained al
work. In South Chicago strike breaker
was seized by mob of strikers and
their sympathizers and badly beaten.
While the railroads continue to re-
cruit as many strike breakers as posi-
ole, X was reported they are concen-
trating their chief effort toward in
ducing the older of their employees
among the strikers to return to work
The value of this strategy is obvious
both from the viewpoint of minimizing
violence and weakening the morale OF
the other strikers. The operating off
Gals OF some of the roads reported
they had obtained the promises OF a
considerable numer of the cold timers
TO be back on the job tomorrow.
Aside from the question of violence
'shere has been a marked slowing down
of transportation on a number of the
roads and cutting down of train
schedules. The worst situation in the
last named connection was on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas, where forty
seven trains were cut off. To-day il
was announced that the Chicago &
Northwestern had dropped fourteen of

Baltic Premiers Seek
Naturalization of, Sea
Plan to Take Up Subject at
Meeting Before Litvi-
uoffss parIev

RIGA, July 9 (By The Associated
Press) The Premiers of tths Baltic
States are planning preliminary
meeting to discuss the agenda of a
disarmament conference proposed by
Maxim Litvinoff, the Bolshevik AS
sistant Commissar of Foreign Affairs,
at which the Premiers hope to intro
duce the question of the neutraliza-
ton Of the Baltic Sea, regardless Of
the reported offer of the United States
to make gift Of six warships to Po-
land.
The Moscow government is averse to
the Baltic Premiers comforting prior
to the proposed conference, taking the
view that the Soviet also should be
represented in the deliberations. New
ertheless, the Premiers are pursuing
their plans and meeting probably will
be held at Reval.
While Litvinoff's note suggesting the
disarmament conference did not in
clude Lithuania, it is understood that
country will be invited to take part
later, as it is likely the naturalization
of the River Niemen will be discussed.
This will be of particular interest to
the Warsaw government, as the river
would give Poland additional .means
for reaching the Baltic Sea-
