operation under national guard pro-
lection
State officials are watching shop
strike developments at Goodland, Hor-
ton and Arkansas City as the possible
sectors for next trouble situations.
National guardsmen are preserving
order in Parsons and HerinStSn and
Rock Island officials today expected
to increase the Harrington working
force at least a hundred men.
Before the end of the week, il Is be-
lieved, the Parsons and Herington sit
uations Will be improved TO the point
where practically normal operation will
be insured. There is little probability
tho, that all of the guard troops will
time.
Horton Strikers Meet.
Horton strikers held a meeting
Monday night and reasserted their de-
fiance. The strike at that point is
practically 100 per cent and Governor
Allen is watching the situation closely.
There was tone. of hope in reports
from Goodland, tho. A message from
a representative sent to the town by
the governor indicated that men were
not being interfered with. The state
will continue TO watch the situation at
that point and in event there is trouble
in reopening the shops, troops may be
sent to that point.
Governor Allen and the attorney
generals office have warned all towns
that they will be held liable for dam
ages under the mob act in event they
do not prevent picketing and in any
manner permit violence to men. 1t is
likely that a suit will be filed against
the city of Herington as a result of
an attack on a negro porter several
nights ago.
Ballots to Troops on Duty.
II guardsn1en are held at Parsons
and Harrington for several weeks they
will not lose their voting privileges
however. Steps have been taken by
L. ]. Pettijohn, secretary of state, to
provide ballots for men in army serv-
ice when the state wide primaries are
held, August l.

TRY CAPPER BILL
Hearing in Senate Shows Vary
ing Opinions on Trade Act.
Declarations That 1t Would
Limit Trading Are Made.

Washington, July 12.-Varying
opinions expressing both satisfaction
and discomfort with the provision Of
the Capper-Tincher bill TO make the
original grain exchange act operative
in accordance with the recent ruling
of the supreme court were heard
Tuesday from witnesses before the
senate agriculture COMMITTEES.
Senator Suencer. Republican, Mis-
souri,. testified that rules of boards of
trade prohibited rebating. He pro-
posed an amendment providing that
cooperative associations should be
ence to rebating or commissioning.
o. P. Jacobson, chairman of the
state grain board OF Minnesota, ex-
pressed satisfaction with the house
bill, but r. A. Wilkinson, author of
the grain futures act of Minnesota,
protested against several features of
the bill and urged that the secretary
of agriculture should not be permitted
to control state weighing of grain.
Probably the strongest attack made
on the bill by witnesses was that by
James Russell. president of the Kan
sas City, Mo, board of trade, who de-
clared it would limit trading.
with the passing of such legisla-
tion,' he said. you are going to put
such uncertainties on legitimate hedg-
vators and millers will stop that
means of protection and be forced TO
buy on the market at much longer
margins of gain.
This condition will at once react
against the country or producer and
eliminate competitive buying on the
open market"
