BOISE, Idaho, July 29.-Steadily ad-
vancing prices for farm produce and
promises of reduced freight rates have
brought smiles to Idaho farmers.
Low prices and absence of demand
for potatoes caused many growers a
year ago to leave their crops in the
ground Prices offered in many in
stances would not equal the cost of
labor for digging. New Eastern buyers
are contracting for Idaho potatoes at
prices ranging from SITS to $2.25 per

Idaho's 1888 acreage is only 4 per

Washington, April 1.-The senate prepared today to pass a measure of almost revolutionary social sig nifcance imposing drastic limi- tation of working hours for labor used in manufacturing articles shipped in interstate commerce.
 As drafted, the bill would hold working time to six hours a day and five days a week. Democratic Leader Robinson hns announced his intention of casing this to maximum of eight hours day and 28 hours a week, adding six hours to the proposed maximum weekly working time.
 The measure would be enforced by the first woman secretary Of labor, Miss Frances Perkins. Il lifelong advocate of shorter work ing hours. She would have power to grant exceptions for necessary operations such as those In canncr- ies where foodstuffB must be packed without delay.
 The administration is friendly to the principle
 Similar legislation is pending in man Connery of the house labor committee, intends to seek consid- eration following the senate's &C., tion. :.
 Chances that the measure would become law in the near future, perhaps with some qualifications. were generally regarded as good at the capitol.
 Writing Of this bill on the stat ute books would mark Il wide swing of the pendulum from the rug god individunlism" to which tho Hoover administration clung. It proposed 10 disregard traditional theories that a working man and his employer should be left to fix their working hours between them selves. and to recognize the exist cnce of 12,000, ,000 unemployed.
 "Why should we cling tenacious ly to Il system which forces 12.- 900, 900 men into idlcnegs in order that 12.O00.0 0.000 to 25,006.000 more men may kork 10. 12, 15 and 16 hours a day?" asked the small, wiry author of the bill, Senator Hugo Black of Alabama.
 As drafted. the bill applies It's restrictions of working hours to factories mines, quarries. mills and such establishments It does not in- cludc agriculture and railroads.
 Senator Tydings, dem.. Md. has n proposed amendment specifically to exempt newspaper and period- icals.
 The senate changed the bill to give the secretary of labor power to exempt canneries preserving fruit. sea food. and pcrishnblc veg etabics.

 Pietro Ton. who is m honorary organist of tho vatican, Rome, re- gently composed and arranged tho musical Passion play. Many of the numbers are based on old Georgian melodies Tho work will have its world premiere in this broadcast.
 Yon's composition traces tho familiar story of tho passion, death and resurrection of Christ. It Is to commemorate this anniversary that Popo Plus XT has proclaimed tho holy year.
 The ritual of singing the Passion story extends back to the first cen- tury of Christianity when, accord ing to Pliny, the early Christians met in the catacombs of Rome during tho long nights while tho pagan populace slept. In these re- treats. and later in tho wallcd-up basillcas which were tho first church buildings in Rome, tho faithful would worship and sing of the part of their Lords life which was most real--the "holy week."
 PIetro Ton had such scenes as this in mind when ho composed his version of tho story and he has schooled the Gregorian club In the traditions of Gregorian mu- sic.
 The highllghts of the story will be recountcd by an announcer dur ing tho broadcast. which will last an hour. Ton will direct the pre- sentation.

Drastic Labor Bill May Be Put Through
 By Senate To-day
Limits Working Hours to Hours Day and Days Week An Amendment to Be Put in to Exempt Newspapers and Periodicals

ion prohibiting importation of for eign articles produced by labor working more than six hours a day in effect virtual embargo as foreign factories now operate.
 Both measures are limited to two-year period. Many proponents. however, are convinced that under modern machine conditions the ay- craze work day must be radically shortened permanently.
 One of tho most Fundamental objections is that since no mini- mum wage is cared in the bill, the weekly wage will drop in propor- ton to tho cut in working hours. A worker paid $4 q day for eight hours work would, opponents say. be paid only $3 day on six. hour basis, thus crowding down still further the level of wages in terms of total weekly pay.
 Senator Black says this tendency will be checked by several factors:
 l. Force of organized labor.
 2. Force of public opinion.
 8. Realization of business men that business cannot exist If mass buying power is wiped out.

Kelly Predicts
 Great Fight To
 Restore Benefits
N0t Paupers or Beggars Merely Seek Justice He Tells Enthusiastic Meeting of Local -Administra- ions Altitude Bitterly Assailed

Unless there Is some protest and action taken at once the hos pItal at Newintgon will close by July, 1884. Veterans in Connec- ticut will then be obliged to go 10 New York or Washington for treat ment," Mir Kelly remarked.
 Reading from an official circular issued in Washington only Monday, Mr Kelly outlined the new regula- tons as included in the economy bill signed by President Roosevelt. He called attention to several pro- visions, which call for n biz cut in compensation allowances. Some of the reductions affect helpless, bcd-ridden veterdns, whose motb- CTS, wives or relatives have to feed, dress and bathc them. II affects cnses Of "arrested tuberculOsiS" it discontlnucs or reduces to Il nom inal amount the compensst paid to all persons in the federal re- serve. 1t denies disqualification to veteran for any illness save q service e-connccetd disability or ail- ment. IL cuts off hundreds of widows and fatherless children from any consideration. It will toss into the hands of the different communIties of the state the care of veterans who are entitled to care and treatment, Mir Kelly re- marked Continuing he said:
 "Thc best minds of the country were employed for a period of I3 years to study the needs of the veteran, but ono man in Washing ion was given full power to recom- mend all reductions and his atti- tudc proved that he was not in sympathy with veterans or didn't know their side of the case. The cuts arc not Justified, but we won't get anywhere by holding protest meet ings and talking our heads off. Let's get together. Let's get our case before the public in a way that will convince all of the just ness of our claims. We will not fight for the "racketeer" We will battle 10 the finish for the vet, who deserves proper attention. The D. A.

WISCONSIN HAS JOINED OFRECS
 WITH MICHIGAN
All Returns Not in Repeal Vote, But Vets Are Leading By Over Four to One

Milwaukee, Wis, April 6. (UP)- Wisconsin to-day became the bec- ond state to vote overwhelmingly in favor of prohibition repeal.
 With more than half the pre- cincts counted in the election for delegates to tho repeal convention in Madison, April 25, vets had piled up q lead of more than four to one. In 1b45 of the states 2899 precincts, the vote for repeal dele gates was 343.960 to 77,25O for delegates against repeal. Fifteen delegates were committed for repeal and like number against 1t. Almost very ballot was a solid vote. either for fifteen re- peal delegates or fifteen drys, with few slpit tickets.
 Votes of individual delegates will be tabulated later. Present figures | indicate the count on straight tickets only. The individual count was not expected to vary greatly from the total vote.
 In Milwaukee, traditional center of beer interests, vets piled up n majority of more than 10 to l. In River Hills, exclusive Milwaukee suburb, the vote was 90 for repeal | to 2 against.
 Drys, who had conceded before bnlloting began that they would be unable to elect n single delegate, showed the greatest strength in the southwestern section of state. but oven there the wet majority was from two to ono to four to one. In Oshkosh the repeal vote was nearly 10 to 1; in Kcnosha, Racine and Sheboygan 1t ranged upward from l four to ono.
 | Wisconsins repeal vote, in line with nnti-prohibition sentiment that first was cIimaxed two years ago when the state enforcement laws were nullifcd, is tho home of Senator John J. Blaine. author of tho proposed repeal amendment.
 Michigan on Monday voted over- whelmingly in favor of repeal, be- ing the first state to ballot on tho issue.
