FAVORS BRANCH BANK AT l.. R.
Senate Votes for Construction of $40O..
 900 Building in Little Rock.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The Senate late today adopted a resolution pre- 'sented by Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas, granting congressional per
 mission for the St. Louis Federal Re-
 serve bank to construct branch
 bank building at Little Rock. The
 resolution limits the cost of lonstruc-
 tion of the building at $4O0,OO0
 This action of the Senate follows that of the House Committee on Bank
 ing and Currency, which on Thursday |eliminated from the Federal Reserve
 building bill the item for the branch I in Little Rock. It means, in all pro-
 bability, that the building will be I'erected as had been expected. The Senate resolution now will go to the for passage as submitted or if the
 measure is amended by the House Con- mittee to which it will be referred, it will be taken up in conference be- Itween Senate and House committees. When the measure is considered in conference Senator Robinson will have an opportunity to go before the con- ferees in support of the measure. 7 Senator Robinson today said that ! he believes his resolution can be
 passed without serious difficulty, al l though he was convinced that it would i have been better had Little Rock I,separate authorization for the build 1 ing, without reference to the St. Louis l4bank. His resolution, he pointed out provides some $70,000 more than the estimated cost of the building, to care for possible contingencies.
 ' Senator Robinson also referred tC I the report sent out from Washington i Thursday, that Congressman Otis T Wingo, of Arkansas had been instru- mental in the favorable action taker Iby the House Committee. which MT I Wingo later answered in detail. Sen fator Robinson said that according tC
 his information, the committee actioI
 in striking out the Little Rock anc
 'Salt Lake City items was taken at the [ instance of w. c. Martin, chairman O }the St. Louis Federal Reserve bank { who now is in Washington. MT Mar ttin's theory being, Senator Robinson
 said, that the smaller plans coulc
 look after themselves.

MINERS READY TO DEAL
Willing to Discuss Wages in Event of
 Federal Control. ,- >~.

Philadelphia, Aug 26-The United . Mine Workers are ready to negotiate a satisfactory wage agreement with governmental representatives, should , the federal government take over the 'anthracite mines in case no agree ment is reached with the operators John l.. Lewis, president of the union ! said tonight in a statement relative to fthe possibility of such action by Con- fgress. | With deadlock existing between lthe miners and operators for peace in the hard coal fields where a suspen- Ision has been in effect since April 1, HMr. Lewis said that the situation in the anthracite consuming territory
 the coming winter will be appalling"
 Accurate knowledge and apprecia- tion of impending dangers of the inn
 mediate future of the American peo- Iple,' he said, Twill surely manifest ap- proVal of the action of the federal government in threatening to seize and operate the mines in the interest
 of the people"
 Following telephone conversation
 with Secretary Hoover today, Senator Pepper held out hope that the dispute
 could be settled amicably without fgovernment seizure. While the sena- tor declined definite forecast, as he
 had not conferred with the operators
 as he had with the miners represen-
 tatlves yesterday, he said he could see
 no insurmountable obstacle to an

The Condition of Cotton Crop Ranges
 From Poor to Fairly Good.

r Little Rock, Aug. 24.-Tempera- Ptures were moderate the first of the week. but unseasonably warm wealth
 CT prevailed the latter half, the week I1y mean being about degrees above
 normal There was an abundance of
 sunshine and, as a whole, the week was favorable for saving hay, cutting corn. and for maturing crops; but too r dry for satisfactory growth. Local
 showers gave some relief from the
 droughty conditions of the last week,
 but the entire state needs rain badly. Boil weevil are increasing, destroying the late squares and small bolls and
 army worms are appearing in several
 counties. Cotton made fairly good progress in a few southern counties,
 but deteriorated in most sections due to the continued hot dry weather. It
 is opening prematurely in western counties. The condition of the cotton crop ranges from poor to fairly good. Late corn made fairly good progress where showers occurred and a few Correspondents report it ill excellent condition, but it needs rain through out the state Irish potatoes are gen. 'erally poor, the dry weather prevent ing a stand and hindering growth Sweet potatoes are good and have suf- fered less from the drought than most other crops. Meadows, pastures, truck and all minor crops need rain badly.
