The Japanese have made wonder

Labor Leaders Declare That

Chicago-With the countrywide

leaders to be practically 100 per cent
perfect, the nations transportation ma
chinery continued its work without in

Railway executives were unanimous
in expressing their beliefe that the
strike would have little effect on the
operation of their roads and at the
same time asserted that any move to.
ward settlement would have to come
from the United States Labor Board
or the employees.
The administration speaking through
the White House on the eve of the
called strike of 100000 union railroad
shop workers, declared its determine.
ton to stand squarely behind the Rail-
road Labor board. 1t is because of
the decisions of the Labor board that
the shop craftsmen have decided to
quit work.
The administration view, set forth
in language as forcible as the spokes.

Dor board is the one agency of the gov
eminent dealing with disputes between
the roads and their employees and
therefore its DEGREES must and will be
backed up by the government.

HARVEST HANDS SEEK WORK
Men Lacking Funds Can't Ride Trains
Farmers Refuse Advances.

Kansas City, Kans.-Five thousand
harvest hands are waiting here In
need of work and many acres of Kan.
sas wheat need harvesting, and lack
the labor. Unless railroads at once
allow "a special rate or let harvest
hands ride free on freight trains there
'is' no way to get the workers to the
fields.
That was the gist Of an announce
ment made by Charles Mills, director
of the Kansas free state employment
service who is working with the fed
eral agents to send harvest labor
where there is work to do.
Mr.. Mills said that railroads had
made a practice of allowing harvest
hands to ride freight trains to the
fields. The men, he said, are anxious
to get work but have no money to pay
railroad fares. Farmers will not ad.
vance it. So wheat goes uncut in cen
trail Kansas and would-be harvest
hands go hungry here, the state di'
rector said.
