cate of that of Armour, and although

r. the skv is clear tonight, ST

If the sky is clear tonight, sta
gaZers in Washington may be able to
see in the northeastern sky, midway
between the horizon and the zenith,
a small patch of illuminated fog visible
about an hour after shutdown.
This is the Pons- WinneCke comet,
the first celestial visitor Of this nature
visible since 1910, when Halley's comet
was seen in the sky. Moreover. this
is the nearest approach of any comet
since 1870. At it's nearest, Monday
night. it will be only $500, 900 miles
away from the earth, about Is times
as far away as the moon.
Will BE at Best Monday.
1t was seen last night in Chicago
as a star of the fourth magnitude,
visible to the naked eye. The faintest
stars visible without the aid Of tele-
scope are of the sixth magnitude.
From now until Monday the comet
will increase in brightness, until. at
the time of it's nearest approach, 1t
will appear larger than the full moon,
although by no means SO bright.
Due to the clouded condition of the
sky over Washington last night 1t
could not be seen. It's approach has
been observed carefully, however. both
at the Naval Observatory and at
Georgetown Observatory through the
telescopes.
1t will appear tonight and tomorrow
night in the constellation Lyra, near
Vega, the only star of the first magni-
tude in that part of the heavens.

PLANTING TO BEGIN
IN FLOOD DISTRICT
Reports Show Rapid Prog
reSs in Reconstruction Work
in Mississippi Valley.

Reports to John Barton Payne,
national chairman of the Red Cross,
indicate that rapid progress is being
made in reconstruction work in the
Mississippi flood area and that with
gradual recession of the water seed
for planting is being made available
to farmers and that aid also is being
extended in replacing implements and
live stock, the Red Cross was advised
yesterday.
Water Receding Rapidly.
L. o, Crosby, chairman Of the Mis-
sissippi reconstruction committee or
the Red Cross, and A. L, Schaefer, the
Red Cross relief expert detailed to the
committee, reported that at Green
Vile, the largest community in the
entire area TO suffer material damage,
the water was falling at an appreci-
able rate, but in Yazoo, Humphrey,
Warren, Sharkey and Isaquena Coun'
ties ii continued to rise.
In Washington County. where con.
ditions are improving, they reported
that the ration list had been cut by
5000 in the last few days.
The reports stated that in Louisiana
the water continued to rise in the
northern parishes and was retarding
the progress of reconstruction work
and that the camp at Bastrop had
been closed and that all refugees from
Madison Parish were under care OF
the Red Cross at Lake Providence.

The Red Cross also said that refu-
gees on the levee near Delhi, as we'll
as a few refugees who were quar-
tered in the town, were being trans.
ferred to Tallulah. and that the Delhi
relief station as we'll as that at Sicily

WORKERS ARE TOLD
OF CRAFT PROGRESS.
Labor Secretary, Addressing
Railway Shopmen, Cites In
proved Conditions.

Congratulating skilled workers on
the improvements that have been
wrought in their wage and working
conditions in recent years, Secretary
of Labor Davis, addressing the sew.
enth annual conference of Associated
Shon Crafts Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road here today, warned of the effect
of the continued un!mprOvement of
conditions surrounding American "un.
skilled workers" upon American in
dustries.
With 10000, 900 to $4,000, 900 men
in this country employed at wages
grossly below those which would per-
nit them TO live according to common
American standards, Secretary Davis
declared the American market is
bound. to and does suffer from the
INEQUALITY" between skilled and I'M
skilled workers. Declaring that Ameri-
can skilled workers receive three times
as much for their services as do Eng
lish workers of the same class and
six times more than the Germans.
the Secretary said American unSkilled
workers, known as common labOrerS,
receive little more than their Euro
pean fellows, despite the vase differ
ence between living standards of the
two continents.
Create Best L. $. Market.
While American skilled workers are
well paid and are to be congratulated
upon the conditions in which they
live, they have created for this coun-
try it's best market, Secretary Davis
said, and he contended that with
"multitudes" of such workers as those
who shovel ore and fuel in the steel
industry and the colored cotton pick.
ers, who do not share as they should
in the prosperity enjoyed by the rest
of us" our market must of necessity
be suffering.
"Morally, economically and on the
ground of simple humanity" Secre-
tary Davis declared, this inequality
should not be allowed to exist in this
richest nation in history. I doubt if
you men of skilled trades and ample
pay feel any more comfortable than
/ do in the thought that honest. hard
are spending their lives at work that
is too poorly paid to enable them to
enjoy the type of life that we feel
every American citizen and worker is
entitled to. But quite apart from
sentimental considerations, it is the
economic problem these underpaid
millions present us that concerns us
most deeply

FORE|CNERSFEAR
ATTACK ON CANTON
Radicals Declared Preparing
for Advance to Liberate I'm
prisoned Comrades.

by the ASSoCldteu TIesS.
SHANGHAI, June 22.-Uneasiness
prevails at Canton, say reports reach
ing here today. because of rumors
that radicals are planning an attack
on Shameen, the foreign quarter, to
liberate imprisoned comrades.
Agitators are reported to be inter-
fering with British steamers on their
way to Hongkong and to be calling
on farmers and laborers TO assist in
a drive on Shameen.
There are said to be constant
clashes between the radicals and gov
eminent forces.
Nationalist Occupy Tsingtao.
The important port of Tsingtao, on
Kiaochow Bay, in the Province of
Shantung, has been occupied by de-
tachment of Nationalist troops, say
the vernacular newspapers.
This detachment. the reports said,
entered the city by boat from Hal
chow, which they recently captured,
way toward Tsinanfu, the capital of
the province.
The papers also state that the
Northern general, Sun Chuan-Fang,
at one time the defender of Shanghai,
who is now at Tsinanfu. is expected
to surrender to the Southerners mo-
mentarily, thus further opening the
road to Picking to the nationalist in
vasion.
(Tsingtao was former German leased
territory. 1t was then occupied by
the Japanese and restored to China
in December, 1929. Recently the Jap
anese government decided to send
1000 troops to Tsingtao. an action
which brought protests from the Chi
nese. The city, If it's capture should
be confirmed, would represent the
farthest north advance of the Nation
alists thus far in their drive on
Peking)
Japanese Troops Active.
The vernacular newspapers report
ed added military activity at Tsingtao
by the Japanese, a temporary wireless
station having been established and
preparations made for further troop
Accommodations.
Shuntao. the leading Chinese daily,
today says that the forthcoming con-
ference at Suchow between Feng Yu-
Hsiang, commander of the National
list forces of the Hankow radical re-
CINE, and Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, com.
mander of the moderate Nationalist,
whose headquarters are at Marking,
will result in the merging of the two
factions and the establishment of one
government at Marking.
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek today will
clamp a strict censorship on the yer.
nacular papers. This is interpreted
as presaging the Inauguration of a.
final drive on Picking following the
Suchow parley.
