HOUSE WILL RESUME WORK ON SURPLUS CROP PROBLEM
TUESDAY, VOTE EXPECTED ABOUT THURSDAY OR FRIDAY
Indications Point to an ALI
ance Between Tincher and
Aswell Camps to Defeat the
Haugcn Measure and Result
in Passage of Compromise
Proposal.

Washington, May With
reading of the Haugen farm relief
bill for amendment half way conlplet-
cd. and the price maintenance section
approved. the house, after Il week END
rest, will resume work on the surplus
crop problem Tuesday. Managers of
the Haugen measure and the other
two pending farm bills, the Tincher
credit plan and the Curtis Aswell
commodity marketing proposal, ex-
pect votes on them Thursday or Fri
day.
Meanwhile, adherents Of the three
factions are planning their final
strategies. There are growing indi-
cations of. an effort by number of
influential members to bring about
an alliance between the Tinchcr and
Aswell camps. Leaders among the
Tincher bill supporters have made
overturcs to those favoring the Cur
tis-Aswell plan, in the hope that the
combined strength Of the two groups
will defeat the Haugcns measure and
result in passage of a compromise
measure more to their liking.
One Proposal
One plan is to retain the frame
work Of the Curtis-Aswell bill, with
its provision for marketing each COM
modify through a national organiza-
ton, and to add the $1O0,OOO,O0 farm,
loan fund which is the principal fea-
ture of the Tincher proposal. The
Tincher bill has been endorsed by
Secretary Jardine. s.
Proponents Of both bills already
have combined on the floor in an as
sault on the Haugcn bill. Reprcsen-
tative Aswell. Democrat, Louisiana,
cO-authOr of the commodity market
ing bill, referring in the house yes
terday to the proposed $75,O00,OOO ap-
preparation for cotton in the Haugen
bill, said it was absurd to under
take openly and brazcnly to bid for
the votes Of southern members by Of
fering money" He asked "what sort
Of an intellect some men believe is
found in the SOUTH"
After a tempestuous debate, during
which numerous amendments were
offered, the house approved without
change the section of the Haugen bill
requiring the proposed federal farm
board to maintain the price of every
basic commodity at its world market
quotation plus the import tariff. The
house previously had accepted an
amendment by Chairman Haugen Of
the agriculture committee requiring
the board to obtain consent Of ga
substantial number" of farmers CO.
operative associations before putting
into effect the scheme to contract for
purchase of surplus to stabilize the
price.
Equalization Fee Up Next
When consideration of the measure
is resumed, the mooted equalization
fee provision will be under discus
sion. This fee would be levied on
the sales Of wheat, corn, cattle, hogs
and butter, and after two years on
cotton. Representative Newton, Re-
publican, Minnesota. already has
served notice that he will move to
strike out the section.

WHEAT FLOUR
CONSUMPTION
ON DECREASE
Per Capita Use Has Been
: Lowered More Than 20
Per Cent in as Years

Per capita consumption of wheat
flour in the United States has de-
creased more than 20 per cent in the
last as years, data received here from
the department Of agriculture shows.
Increased purchasing power, en-
abling people to buy other and more
expensive foods, the rise of the bread
baking industry, the possibly con-
tinuing effect Of war time restric-
tions on wheat consumption and the
drift of population from the farms
to the city are given by govern
ment economists as possible explana-
tions for the tendency.
The swing away from wheat con-
sumption, the report shows, began in
1879 and an average reduction in per
capita consumption of two-tenths of
one per cent a year was recorded
until 1905. From 1914 to 1921 the
decline was two per cent year but
since 1921 the consumption per person
has remained about the same. The
same figures show that the. average
American now eats 16 per cent less
wheat than he did before the world
war and "a per cent less than he ate
in 1879.
In 1879 the average American ate
500 bushels of wheat a year. In
1904 the amount had dropped to
5.38 bushels. BY 1919 it had dropped
to 4.70 bushels, having touched the
low point, Of 3.8 bushels during the
wartime restrictions in 1918. Con-
sumption per year since 1919 has been
irreguler, the average for the years
Of 1922 and % being AZ bushels
and for 1925 it was 4.3 bushels.
Americans now eat fruit, vegetables
and dairy products where they used
to eat wheat, greater incomes and bet
ter marketing facilities enabling them
to vary their diet, the report said.

FEW WORKERS STILL OUT
Certain Individual Trade
Unions Have Not Solved
Their Differences

London. May l5.--R-John Bull
having first had a good fight to re-
lieve his surplus energy, went back
to work today with a grin--albeit q
somewhat rucful one.
If he was sore of muscle and per-
haps changed in spirit, still he tackl.
ed his duties with dogged British de-
termination, resolved to do the best
he could until his hurts disappeared
lie wasn't talking much about the
fight or doing any boasting eithe,
for like Davey Crockett, he figured
that when lusty blows have been Civ
en- and taken, both sides should shake
hands and let that be the end of it.
Johns offspring didn't walk to
work this morning as they had been
forced to do for the last IL days
while the head Of the family was hav-
ing his scrap.
People Ride To Work
London's millions of wheels began
turning again-trams, buses and
tubes showing their PAGES in bring
ing the people smartly to business

HNNiOpVliS 50 IOuH.
The same thing was largely true in
the provinces. To be sure the trans
portation services were not normal
nor can they be before next week
but on the whole they were good.
There are still individual trade
unions in various parts Of the coun-
try which have not yet solved their
differences with the employers and
it may be some time before every
thing is rightcd.
Some Of the railway unions are not
yet able to swallow what they con-
slider the too strong medicine admin
istered to them in the settlement be-
tween the companies and the national
union Of railwaymen. Bristol is one
center where the railwaymen are still
unsettled.
Some Of the dock workers are re-
manning out pending adjustment of
the miners dispute. Tram and bus
workers have still to go back to work
at some points in the provinces.
Broadly speaking, however. the au-
thorities today took an optimistic
view of the situation and expressed
the opinion that next week would see
Il decided improvement.

MILITARY REVOLUTION IN NPOLANDEA
COMPLETE SUCCESS PlLSUDSKI NOW
IN FULL CONTROL OF CAPITAL CITY
Wire Facilities. Which We're
Under Drastic Censorship,
Are Restored - Advices
State That Premier WitOS
and President Wejiech0w.
ski Have Resigned.
(By Associated Press)

The military revolution in Poland
appears to have succeeded. Marshal
Pilsudski is not only in complete con-
troll Of Warsaw but advices received
in the capital indicate that the ma
jority of the troops throughout the
country have gone over to his cause.
News of these developments came
today in the first direct dispatch re-
ceived from the Associated Press cor
respondent in Warsaw for the last
AZ hours.
The fact that the dispatch. filed at
the Warsaw postoffice telegraphic
station, was allowed to come out of
the country is significant in itself
showing the restoration Of the wire
facilities, which have been under
drastic censorship.
The fighting in Warsaw which be-
gan Wednesday afternoon, the dis
patch said, ended late yesterday aft
ernoon with capture by the rebels Of
the Belvedere Palace, in which the
members of the government had TAX
en- refuge.
Cabinet Members Escape
Some Of the members of the cabinet
were able to escape from the city but
President Wojciechowski was taken
by Marshal Pilsudski. The marshal
has repeatedly declared that his
movement was not aimed at the pres
ident but at the Witos cabinet.
Advices from other sources are
that Premier Witos and Pres ident
Wojcieschowski have resigned and
that Pilsudski is engaged in forming
new cabinet, while rejoicing reigns
in the capital.
The coup d. etat has been far from
bloodless, according to all reports,
but accounts of the number of casual
ties vary. Advices reaching Paris
today were that 200 persons were
killed and 1000 wounded in Warsaw
during the fighting Of Thursday and
yesterday.
Outside Developments Obscure
Developments outside the capital
are still somewhat obscure. Vienna
hears that one military force, still
loyal to the government, is holding
out south Of Warsaw but that other
troops have been dispersed.
Messages reaching Prague, Czecho
Sl0vakia, say -Pilsudski demon
strations have occurred at Cracow.
Lodz, Lemberg and Posen.
Sensational unconfirmed reports in
Prague and Lemberg say the Rus
SLAMS are concentrating a strong divi-
sion near the Polish frontier and that
the Lithuanians have seized the OPP
portunity to attempt the re-annexa-
tion of Wilma. The latter report is de-
MED by the Polish telegraph agency's
Berlin bureau.

Warsaw, Poland, May 14..-LP)-
Marshal Joseph Pilsudski at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon reached the sub
urb, of Warsaw called Praga, or
Prague. with four regiments Of Uh-
lans, infantry, Chasseurs and artil-
lery.
President Wojciechowski went to
meet Pilsudski personally and pro-
posed that he discontinue further ac-
tion against the government, hut
Pilsudski refused.
A few hoArs later it appeared that
several regiments stationed in War
saw, whose duty was to defend the
president and the cabinet, passed over
to Pilsudski, SO that by $3.50 Wednes-
day night the marshal occupied the
larger part Of the city.
Drive IL Against Cabinet
Pilsudski explained that his inten-
tion was to relieve the country from
the Witos cabinet and he proposed
to the cabinet that it resign ii order
to avoid /bloodshed. The president
and the cabinet refused to negotiate.
They took refuge in the presidential
residence, known as the He1vedere
Castle. defended by scanty lsfte Of
troops.

TO-DAY
CHEAPER TO BUY
VERY CLASS CONSCIOUS
GOOD FROM EVIL
JOHN d. AND FORD
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
Copyright, l926.)


w. r.. Hearst, discussing the Brit
ish strike, says: ''The cost of the
general strike to the nation would
buy the coal mines every day, and
only the dullest, most selfish cx-
p0nent of q conservatism that is
dead and buried would hold his
prejudice against public ownership of
more importance than the disaster to
the nation which public operation
of coal mines would avert"
In our civil war, to have bought
and freed the slaves would have
cost much less than fighting about
them, and the South, instead of being
ruined for years, would have built
prosperity with the proceeds of the
sale. But unfortunately it is in
human nature to fight as long as
YOU can, and settle on common
sense basis only when you must.
Food supplies begin to worry Great
Britain and emphasize the need of
some man with at least one per
cent of the Mussolini energy, and
enough will power to offset the de-
termination to risk q nations well
fare "and see what will happen"
Britain's situation reminds you OF
Trost's picture Of farmer that yoked
himself up with bull calf to edu-
cate the calf. "Stop US, somebody,
darn our fool souls" said the farm
cr, as the calf took him down hill.
In exactly that fashion union labor
and aristocratic conservatives govern
ment are going down hill in Britain.
The bull calf, which is union labor,
has less to lose and can stand the
situation better.
Battleships are no longer important
in war, as was proved in the big
war when France and Britain kept
their "fighting ships" hidden away as
though they were made Of eggshefl
china. .,
Rut Britain's battle fleet and mail
carving liners can at least help solve
her food problem. Manned by Brit
ish sailors, they could bring food
snnnlies from all over the world.
And there wouldn't be any strike
IN hoard. for that would mean mptiny,
and ".the yardarn."
Socialists, and others that urge
ond foster "class consciousness"
want the class ct the bottom to realize
that it is ct the bottom. and unite
to get up higher, or at least pull
down the top.
Britain shows how class conscious.
ness works, at least in the beginning.
The British upper class. always
"class conscious" has felt that u
was the nation. ana 20 large extent
it was. The upper class q 1nse'nserce -. {
workinr class united to smash the
machines, and they had to be hidden

now that 5aachinery has doubled and.

sciousness causes those At the top tol
