summer fallow. This crop is differ
ent than winter wheat, however, in
that plants starting next spring will
head out during the summer. A long,
cool spring, favorable to the develop
ment of an extensive root system and
plenty of stools, would be of great
benefit to the winter rye crop" ..r

Area as Thei; Strategic Point.

Uniontown, Pa. April l3.-Between
complete tie-up of the local bituml-
nous mines and coke ovens and con-
tinuance of the flow of the stream OF
coke to the Pittsburgh steel furnaces
there seems to stand about 80 men.
These 80 men are grim-looklng
guards, each with his right hand laid
constantly in a suspiciously bulglng
overcoat pocket. They are thrown
around the three big Leisenring plants
just above here.
II that grim Gordon, maintained
night and day, is pierced by union or
ganizers, and if those organizers dra%
the 1000 Leisenring workers from
the mines and the coke ovens, the
stronghold of non-unionism will have
fallen. Leisenring is the United
States Steel Corporations Nerdun in
the strike in this region. They are
fighting 20 hold it for they know that
if it falls the other nOn-union plants

Each of the ! 800 dark-red flames
spouting from the tops of the long
rows of Leisenring's beehive ovens is
a challenge to the union organizers
Every coal car dumped from the tip
pies of the three Leisenring shafts Is
defiance to them The union men
are trying to meet the challenge they
ere trying to answer the defiance.
But the so grim looking guards have,
30 far, stood in the way. They have
so far made union efforts almost I'M
potent in this upper region.
The vigilance Of the guards at the
Leisenring plants to keep out the un-
ion organizers was learned this morn

Two different avenues. failed. Guards
were met behind the hillsides, and be
fore either the ovens or shafts were
in sight each time. Credentials, let
iers, persuasion and even the final ap-
oeal-a bald offer of bribe-were
unavailing. Everybody not known as
a mine official was taken as a union
spy. Every credential was, in the
minds of the guards, forgery and
every letter fraud.

CONDEMNS
OF PRESIDENT
Dismissal of Director Will

and Senate
CALLED INJUSTICE
Representative Moore Produces Typi-
cal Cases--SenatOr Caraway Pres
ents Last Summers Report

Washington. April l3.- The recent
dismissal by Executive order Of %
officials of the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing was again under attack
in both branches of Congress yester-
day when Senator Caraway, of Ar
kansas, and Representative K. Walton
Moore, of Virginia, denounced as un-
satisfactory explanations Of the sum
mary discharge and alleged violation
Of civil service laws.
Representative Moore asserted the
incident was an "ominouS" one which
threatens to break down the civil
service merit system and place the
Government business where it once
was in the hands Of reckless and I'M
scrupulouS Spoilsmen." He severely
criticized President Harding for
breaking away from the substantial
policies of Mckinney, Roosevelt. Taft
and Wilson.
In the Senate Mr.. Caraway refuted
suggestions from certain quarters
that the dismissal of Director VII
meth and his associates was the out
Growth of demotiors and discharge of
many employees by Director Wilmeth
last summer. Mr.. Caraway demon
strateG that his action of Director
Wilmeth has been approved by Score
tary Mellon and an investigation COM

ployes had protested. and that Will
meth had received a clean bill of
health The present action ~ PreSi-
dent Harding. he said. could not he
linked with the changes made by Di-
rector Wilmeth in the necessary re-
duction Of the force Of the bureau.
Senator Caraway presented the re-
port Of y. i. Crissinger. Comptroller
of the Currency and chairman Of the
investigation committee. which ap-
proved Of Mr. Wilmeth's course and
concluded as follows:
"That making reasonable allow
anccs for the human element IN the
relations between the employees and
their next immediate superiors. these
rules were apparently so observed as
to produce as little individual injustice
rs could he expected in dealing with
50 many cases.
THAT the reduction was a real one
ard not a pretended one for the pur-
pose of putting other more favored
employees in the places Of those re-
leased.
"The committee therefore recon-
mends that said protests. and all of
them. he disallowed, and that the ap-
plication Of The pro.estants, or any
of them. for immediate reinstatement
should not receive favorable consid-

RECENT VOTING
AROUSES HOPES
OF DEMOCRATS
Results in National and
State Elections Indi-
cate a Shift
DEPRESSION is CAUSE
Contended That The Only Thing That
Can Save The Republican Party IS
Revival of Business.

Washington April 13.-A series
Of near successes in recent Congress
sional contests, plus another series
of actual successes in a large mum,
ber of municipal campaigns, tend
very strongly toward the restoration
of the minority party to the political
map OF the country.
Democratic leaders are manifest
ing a degree of cheerfulness just
now not observable at any other time
since their local and national tickesS
were buried beneath the weight OF
unprecedented majorities in 1920.
These leaders are convinced by cum
ulative facts and circumstances that
they are in a fair way to wrest con-
troll of the next House from the Re
publcans, or if not, that, at least
to reduce the present majority to a
dangerously narrow margin.
The result in a single State of a
fight for seat in Congress is not
enough. of course, to prove anything.
Nor is the result in municipal con-
test here or there to he regarded as
highly significant. ,
But when there are Congressional
elections in five States within fewer
months, and when Republican major
tiles in all of them are reduced
either substantially or startingiy,
the fact becomes noteworthy.
Also when all the cities of any size
in States such as Connecticut and
Missouri repudiate Republican ad-
ministrations and elect Democratic
mayors. there is something about the
mater that is highly interesting If
not of national Importance.
Up in Connectiut, New Britain;
the last of the important cities in
the State to vote. has just turned
out a Republican Mayor and elected
Democrat by about 500 majority.
Only a few days before the other
cities of the State voted. and in
every instance Republican candidates
were defeated.
These included Hartford, the fore
most city in the State, and normally
Republican stronghold.
Democratic politicians are insist
ng that these results are rot to be
satisfactorily explained on local
issue" basis. That would be pOSsi-
bic. they argue, if one or two or even
three out of dozen cities should
substitute Democratic for Republican
mayors. but when every important
city in a traditionally Republican
State elects Democrats, there IS
something to il worth thinking about,
they contend
