Wheat Prices
Topic Of Long
Cabinet Meet
President Coolidge Asks Sec.
retary of Agriculture Wal
lace to Prepare Report
on Farm Conditions.
BY Universal Service.

Washington, Sept. 18.-President
Coolidge and the cabinet today under
took the task Of working out a
belt. For half an hour before the
cabinet met the president and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace were in
conference.
Virtually all of his time was devoted
to survey of the general agricul-
tural situation and consideration of
possible remedies for the troubles Of
the wheat growers. Other branches
Of the farming industry-corn, hogs,
cattle and cotton-were found to be
in fairly satisfactory condition.
Secretary Wallace. who has been
making a special study Of the agricul-
tural field at the request Of the ex-
ecutive. was instructed to prepare a
report of his findings. with recon-
by the federal government. This re-
port will be laid before the president
Thursday or Friday of this week.
1t may be found avisable to urge
the wheat growers to turn TO other
products. The administrators ex-
perts viii study agricultural imports
with view to determining what part
of these products the wheat raisers
may supply.
President Coolidge believes II would
be profitable for wheat growers In
some states to raise sugar beets, or
flax. as now Is being done in the
Dakotas.
In order 20 ascertain definitely and
on the ground what are the difficult
ties of the situation, regional confer
ences are being considered. the presi-
dents spokesman said. One section
is proposing one remedy and another
has different ideas. Mr.. Coolidge
wants the secretary of agriculture to
go among the farmers and find out
personally the exact conditions. As
the problem is one of commercial ac-
tivitiy, as well as agricultural produc-
tion, the spokesman for the president
added, representatives of the Depart
ment of Commerce also will attend the
regional meetings.

Efforts to Start
Mutiny at Prison
Halted by Guards
Four Convicts in Shirt Factory
Break Machines, but Other
Inmates Refuse to
Join Them.


Lincoln, Sept. 1s.-An attempt TO
arouse several hundred convicts in
the shirt factory at the state peni-
tentiary to mutiny failed today.
At 10 this morning four conyicts,
Jack Ellis. Lee Murray, John Tarr
and Fred Weitze, sprang from their
sewing machines in the factory. They
grabbed their chairs and used them
as clubs to break machines.
In three minutes guards were on
them. The machines were destroyed.
Officials believe that these men
thought the usual complaining of
prisoners against any sort Of work
was taken by the four convicts TO
mean an insurrection could be start
ed. Not a man joined them.
The shirt factory has been installed
for more than a year. Each man is
assigned a task each day. which. ac'
cording 10 Warden Fenton. can be
completed in four and half hours.
After the task is done it Is optional
with the convict as TO whether he
takes advantage of the prison yard
and recreation or continues with his
work. After the daily task is COM
pleted, all other work done that day
is paid for at a wage scale.
These men are the type who OBJ
ieet to any kind of work" the war
den said.
Warden Fenton took them TO JUS
tiee court this afternoon where a
complaint was filed charging them
with destroying property valued at
