EXPERT DEVELOPS
RUST-PR00F WHEAT

WINNIPEG, Oct. 21.-CR)-A new
wheat, said to give promise of being
resistent to black stem rust, the result
of selecting and hydridizing seven
times, has been developed by Samuel
Larcombe, widely known agricultural
expert of Birtley, Manitoba.
The new wheat has been named "Ax-
Minister" and while its producer does
not claim that it is an absolute rust
resistenent, 1t is said to show almost
perfect resistance. 1t yields 30 per
cent more than Marquis" and is
said to be equal in milling value to
Red Fiji" and "Marquis."
Mr.. Larcombe began its development
in 1916. In 1924 it showed less than
8 per cent of rust infection, when
Marquis and other varieties growing
within five feet Of it, were infected
100 per cent. This year, Mr.. Larcombe
says, it has done even better.

SOLDIERS AWAIT

French Troops Ready for Next
Drive on Riffs

Fee, French Morocco, Sept ~ R'
The French troops are waiting the
zero hour for the next big push
against the Riftisns. which II Is I'M
derstood will be from the eastern
end OF the battle line and IN con-
junction with the spaniards, whose
progress In the Alhucemas sector is
being followed with the keenest of
interest here.
Everything is said to be readi-
ness. Lines of communication have
been formed close to the front so
that there need be no difficulty about
supplying the bases during opera
tons. Over these lines the trans
port section Of the army can be
concentrated Immediately In the
rear Of the advancing troops. The
operating troops have been well sup
piled with artillery. airplanes and
tanks, and the arrangements are
said to be so perfect that the high
command is OF the belief that the
operations can continue until Deem
Der, notwithstanding the rainy sea-
son.
1t was said In military circles to-
day that Add El-Krim evidently
suspects a big offensive from the
eastern wing. for he is concentrat-
ing more and more Of his forces In
the Kifane region. Groups Of tribes
men led by Riffian regulars have
repeatedly attacked blockhouse
held by force OF 2ouaves and
Spahis, near Kifane. It Is asserted
that they have been repulsed each
time with heavy losses. but that
they DO not seem to be discouraged
by the checks,
The enemy also Is grouping forces

elsewhere calm reigns, except that
the French artillery and airplancs
are being kept busy bombarding
and bombing enemy centers wher-
ever activity Is apparent.

MINERS GIVE
DETAILED REASON
Explain Why They Have Refused
10 Arbitrate

Philadelphia. Sept "a Pl-The
anthracite scale committee OF the
United Mine Workers today sent a
telegram to the New England Coal
Dealers association. In convention
at Boston, outlining the reasons for
the refusal of the miners TO submit
their differences with the hard coal
operators 10 arbitration. The mes
sage was sent in answer to an ad-
dress delivered before the convention
Yesterday by Walter Gordon Mer-
rett, counsel for the anthracite OPP
orators. and the request was made
that 1t be read before the meeting of
the New England dealers.
THE United Mine Workers re-
fuses TO arbitrate the terms aud con-
dittons that are to be written In and
telegram a contract" said the
cleEram. 1T will and does arbitrate
questions that arise under the terms
of a contract after the agreement
has been made. No business man
would agree to submit to outside ar
hitration the terms and conditions
that are TO go IN his contracts.
Coal operators do not agree or
offer to arbitrate the price at which
they shall sell their coal nor the
amount OF profit they may make. A
dealer would refuse TO ar
bitrate the price at which he must
sell suit OF clothes. Then why
should be coal miner be compelled
to arbitrate the price at which he
shall sell his labor which Is his only
stock in trade.
"Mr. Merritt says arbitration is
principally the only peaceful solu-
ton which the ingunlty Of man has
been able to advise for situations Of
this kind" John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Is a good business man yet his coal
refused TO arbitrate the
wages of its miners in Colorado in
1914. Judge Gary Is a good business
man yet he refused to arbitrate
wages In the steel strike OF 1919 al
though requested by the president Of
the United States to arbitrate. Coal
operators OF Mingo county, West
Virginia, who are followers and
disciples Of Walter Gordon Merritt's
industrial philosophy, refused TO ar
hitrate the wages OF their miners In
1890.
Surely If such great captains of
industry and large employers may
refuse arbitration 1t Is unfair to in
sist that the anthracite miners be
to arbitrate their wages
and earning capacity in this con-
troversy the anthracite miners are
merely protecting the interests Of
themselves and their families"
