WON'T HAUL MEN FREE
Rock Island and Union Pacific Bar
Harvest Hands.

Labor shortages may occur in a
number of northern Kansas counties
because of refusal of Rock Island and
Union Pacific railroads to haul har-
vest laborers free. That is the state
ment of Judge John H. Crawford of
the industrial court regarding the at
titude of railroads entering north
western and north central counties.
Roads which tap the southern and
southwestern counties are declared by
Judge Crawford to have permitted
harvest hands to ride freight trains
entering the wheat fields. They are
not permitted, however to ride Rock
Island and Union Pacific trains.
Judge Crawford asserts the men are
without funds and will not go to the
northern fields if compelled to pay
railroad fares.

Notwithstanding the general pessi-

by the confirmation that the budget
