FORT WORTH, May 30.-Ten
DAYS Of sunshine with the weather
hot as midsummer has settled the
employment problem for the time
being. All surplus labor has been
absorbed by the farms. The weather
has also increased retail business,
which is practically back to normal
in every section. Important excep-
lions, however, are the low lands
where flood damage has been severe,
and where much land is being aban-
doned. Farmers there have replant-
ed their crops for the fourth time
in some cases.
In some of the cotton regions,
an actual shortage of field labor
is reported for the first time in
three years Choppers for the cot
to,1 are needed. and in the back
| areas farmers are hauling negro
| workers to and from the field in
their automobiles.
Oil we'll drilling has been resumed
extensively in west Texas, aided by
an abundant water supply. The
retail shoe trade has been exceed
| ingly good in the last ten days in
| Texas, according to the manager OF
a chain of stores operating all over
the country. He has just concluded
a tour of Texas and declared condi'
lions here were better than any
| other section he had found.
| business in the clothing trades is
better than at any time in fourteen
years with the deception of 1918
| and 1920, statesmen travelling
throughout west Texas report. Mer
chants are more optimistic than al
anv time since the depression first
became acute.

BOSTON, May 80. - Industrial
conditions are rapidly improving in
New England. The shoe workers in
the Lynn and Brockton districts
have accepted wage cuts and the
outlook for the shoe and leather
trades is frightened thereby. Strik-
ers at the New England textile mills
are slowly returning to work. The
strike in Rhode Island now is in its
eighteenth week, but since the mill
owners secured an injunction
against picketing there has been a
steady stream of employees returning
to work.
The Hamilton Manufacturing
company, at Lowell, which assumed
operations earlier in the month with
20 per cent cut in wages has been
steadily increasing it's operations and
at present it's cloth department is
running on practically full time. The
Nassau Manufacturing company, at
Nassau, N. H, is operating some de-
partments in a quiet way, but the
big Lawrence and Manchester mills
are still closed.
Building operations continue to ex
pand and have assumed the proper
tions almost of a boom. Road build
ing and repairing also is in progress
on a heavy scale, and there is very
little unemployment except where
employees voluntarily are away from
work. Sales Of automobiles have
been on a heavy scale, and lumber
dealers report the largest business in

HITCHCOCK
AGAINST PACT
Nebraskan Tells Senate 4-PIy
Treaty Must Carry Reservations
to Win His Support.

Washington, March ?. - Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking
Democrat of the senate foreign re-
lations committee, declared in an
address to the senate today in op-
ening debate on the four-power Pa
cific treaty, that he could not sup
port it unless amendment or reser-
vations were adopted to meet his
objections.
Senator Hitchcock attacked what
he described as the secrecy with
which the four power treaty was
negotiated He declared he had
voted for ratification of the zap
treaty yesterday and would support
the naval and Chinese treaties.
This treaty was conceived in Sc
crecy and it's genesis suggests an
fashioned and highly objection
able alliance.
The four-power treaty, Senator
Hitchcock said, was not in the
arms conference call, or in the
agenda.
Everything was done to keep
public attention on the naval nego-
tiations, Chinese tariffs and other
matters while there was month
of secret meetings in this treaty"
he said.

Want Bible IN
PUBLIC SCHOOL
Bible League Lobbyists Descend on
State Con Con With Demand
for Compulsory Reading.

Springfield, Ill, March 1.-THE
Illinois Bible League" has renewed
it's efforts to write into the propos-
ed new constitution provision
making Bible reading a compuls-
DRY part of the public school cur
riculum.
Lobbyists representing the league
have descended upon the constitu-
tional convention to reopen the
controversy of 1920, which result
ed in a compromise nominally ad-
hitting the Bible as a text book,
but leaving the matter of it's read
ing to the pleasure of school auth
critics
When the question was first up
it was one of the most controvert-
ed subjects during the early days
of the convention.
AS a result of the compromise
the following clause was written
into the bill of rights:
The reading in the public
schools of selections from any YER
sion of the old and new testaments,
without comment, shall never be
held to be in conflict with this con-
Stitution.'
This clause, was inserted. it was
said, to overcome a supreme court
ruling which virtually barred the
bible from the schools, but it did
not satisfy religious extremists.

BAKERS DISCUSS
BREAD WEIGHTS
WITH CITY DADS

A good percentage of Rock Is
Land bakers were present at the
Rock Island city hall this after
noon to join with Mayor Harry NJ.
Schriver and the city commission
ers in discussion of the city's pro-
posed new bread weight standard
iZation law.
The meeting was called by May
or Schriver and it is highly prob
able that an ordinance compound
ing the views of the bakers on the
subject of weight Standardization
Will be passed by the city COM
m1ssioners next Monday. The idea
Is to set up standards whereby the
public will always know what it is
getting regardless of moves of COM
petitive business. Recently prices
have been cut by some bakers, and
the city inspector found that
weights were being cut to meet the
new price, and the public, in most
instances, was unaware of this.
