NET FARMERS S750,000
Soil Benefits and Minimum Crop
Prices Assured.

Chaska, Minn.-Sugar beet growing,
one Of Minnesota's infant industries,
this year will net the farmers at least
$750,000, according to present crop in
dications, H. A. Dauglas president of
the Minnesota Sugar company, said.
The crop is expected to tax the capac.
ity of the company's plant at Chaska
with $3.50 to 81 a ton, the present
market price for sugar beets, yields of
from 10 to Is tons per acre offer the
growers more profits than could be
made in sowing wheat and coarse
grains" Mr.. Douglas said. There are
approximately 10000 acres in Mime.
sofa planted to sugar beets.
"The Minnesota sugar beet crop this
year will be sufficient to tax the ca.
pacity of our Chaska plant. Some of
the best specimens taken from the
ground few days ago weighed nearly
two pounds and with nearly three
months remaining of the growing sea.
son the outlook is bright.

MISUNDERSTANDING railroad shop.

orders of three railroads that the men
must return or lose their seniority

1t was crucial test for both sides
in the strike. Picket lines were doub-
led by the strikers, in their successful
efforts to prevent men from returning
to work, and the railroads used spe.
cial agents to hold open gates and
entrances to the yards and shops.
There was no disorder, however, ex.
cept for a slight disturbance at the
Milwaukee shops where special agents
dispersed crowd of pickets who were
said to have been blocking the en-.
trance to men seeking to enter.
Figures given out by the strikers
claimed that the situation remains 100
per cent favorable to the unions. Ac.
cording to the headquarters of the 500
Line union men, one man went to
work and one man left employment at
the 500 Line yards. At the Mime.

Separate Wage Commission to
Consider Pay Scale in In
dustry Sought.

Washington-The proposal put for
ward by President Harding for arbitra.
ton of the difficulties in the coal in
Gustry was formally. accepted by the
anthracite operators.
The acceptance was announced from
the White House after representatives
Of the operators from the anthracite
fields had called on the President. It
also was clear when the anthracite
operators left after the call that the
response to the Presidents arbitration
offer had been favorable to acceptance
and that the only condition made was

President Is Satisfied.
The President was said to be salts
fed with the proposal and the anthra-
cite operators arranged to make their
letters of response public at once.
The anthracite operators in their
letter to the President, declared them
selves committed to arbitration, but
asked the President to appoint a
