Indiana Is Champ
In Onion Growing,
u. S. Report Shows
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 36.-New
York State has been deprived Of
its three-eyed peacock feather as
the champion onion producer Of
the country.
A report today from the Govern
ment Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomicS says: THE East seems to
be losing prestige as a chief source
Of Fall and Winter onions, and
this honor is shifting to the Mid
western and far Western states.
Indiana has apparently gained
first place among the main-crop
States"
Indications are that the total
onion crop Of the country this sea-
son will exceed 100000 bushels,
an increase OF nearly 10 per cent
over last year. The official fore
cast is $4,000 bushels for Indi-
ana, 2,574.O00 for New York.

December 1892; January. 1897;
March, 1914: May. 1924. The atten-
ton Of the cotton trade appeared to be

storm damage to the Eastern belt crop
and prospects of clearing and more
favorable weather in the Southwest

market here.

WOOL DEMAND GOOD.

BOSTON. August 26 Especially
Foreign woods shared fairly we'll with
domestic sorts the demand in the wool
market today. The business in for.
eign, however. included a renewal Of
sales OF South American wool for ex-
port. This movement has affected
both demand and price. The higher
level Of prices abroad has created a
demand for these woods here. which
has strengthened Boston values
Prices Of South American woods are
up over 10 per cent in some cases.
The market for standard 5s now is
quoted at ?6a27 for Buenos Aires and

FARMERS and
HEALTH HEADS
AGREE ON PLAN

At a meeting called at the Brevoort
Hotel here, the representatives of the
city health department, state health
department, the farmers having tu-
berculin tested herds and those that
have not tuberculin tested herds met
and decided on plan by means of
which Chicago will be able to get
milk from tuberculin tested cows.
The conference decided that all eff
forts will be made to get the state
to appropriate 100000 and that the
United States government appropriate
S2,000,000.
During the discussions that took
place-many Of them quite heated-it
was shown that the farmers who have
the diseased herds are willing to allow
their herds to be tested for tubercul-
osis provided that the state and fed
eral governments pay the farmers for
their losses. The plans laid down at
this gathering if carried thru will
satisfy the farmers and will not force
them into bankruptcy.
During one Of the heated debates,
K. c. Rockwell, business manager OF
the Milk Producers Association, many
Of whose members have diseased
herds, declared that it was peculiar
that milk from diseased COW was
unhealthy, but that when that COW
was brought to the yards" it was
sold as high-grade meat. IF the milk
from these cows IS unhealthy, so is
the meat" declared the milk pro-
ducers' head.
Bundesen, who has carried on this
fight to bolster up his political prest-
ige in the eyes Of Chicagoans dram
atically said that such meat was
unfit and that If anyone would
present evidence that Rockwell's
statemene was true he would
close that slaughtering-house. The
farmers laughed when they heard this
as they know. whose willing tool Bun
desen is and what his dramatic dis
play was meant to accomplish.

no Chance FOR
A TRIKER TO
ATTEND Meeting
Effectively Barred BY
Distance and Doors
Especial to The Daily w0rkerl


NEW YORK CITY, Dec. s1.--As the
old year dies there seems to be little
expectation that the conference be-
tween the anthracite coal operators
and the striking miners representa-
tlves, headed by John L. Lewis, will
do anything before the new year has
become we'll started.
Miners Barred Out.
The conference is meeting not only
at the Union League Club, the home
of reactionary wealth, but behind
closed doors at that-and there is
little danger that any of the $4,000
anthracite strikers, ragged and hungry
and getting a little desperate, may get
a chance to give demonstration of
their insistence on the tri-district
demands which Lewis has seemingly
thrown in the waste basket.
At the close Of the first days con-
fab, both sides agreed on entering the
following statement in the record:
"The various plans heretofore sub
mitted were made part of the record.
It was agreed that all plans could be
brought before the conference. Among
the plans offered were the following:
"Plan of Governor Pinchot; the le-
gislators' plan; the engineers plan
and the answer of the miners thereto.
The letters and correspondence of
priests for and against arbitration
were made part of the record. Letters
from the Panther Creek Business
mems association and Scranton min
listers also entered in the record.
Chairman Alvan Markle submitted
plan for the settlement of the strike.
The plan was discussed at length. The
miners voiced opposition to certain
parts of the Markle plan, claiming it
was arbitration. The chairman said
the plan did not amount to arbitra-
ton. There was discussion of the
Pinchot PLAN The miners argued that
the Pinchot plan offered a construct
i've plan for settlement, while the
operators claimed that the Pinchot
plan was destructive and nnworkable
"The miners stated that they were
as much opposed to arbitration today
as they were four months ago and
will continue in their opposition.
"The attitude of the operators was
that an acceptable plan should pro-
vide for long term agreement, pro-
vision for wage adjustments If econ
omic conditions require, and some
means of avoiding deadlocks in case
of disagreements."

difficulties in this respect you are to

All lower units OF the party, shop

are to meet and organize themselves
without delay. No matter what the
number OF members present at the
first meeting of the unit. they must or.
ganize themselves and mobilize fol
