the hxins OF farm prices and quick in

The delegation consists of Governors
Herring OF Iowa, Olson of Minnesota,
Berry OF South Dakota, Schmedeman Of
Wisconsin and LANCER of North Dakota.
Discussing their proposals with news
paper men, the Governors unanimously
favored licensing of farmers, professors
and distributors to effect higher prices
and production control.
Olson said agriculture should be
handled as a public utility, as volun-
tary action by farmers to curtail pro-
duction cannot succeed as long as a
substantial number of the farmers do
not voluntarily join in the program"

He was skeptical of the reduction In
the production Of wheat sought by the
Farm Adjustment Administration.
Farmers who have not signed agree

Government price benefits, he contend
ed. will increase their sowings so as
to offset the reductions by those who
signed, with the effect that the gross
acreage and production of wheat next
year is likely to exceed that of average
years.
Herring. who called the recent con-
ference of Governors at Des Moines,
and Olson called on Gov. Morgenthau
at the Farm Credit Administration to
discuss speeding up farm mortgage
refnancing.
They were informed the number Of
loans and the volume of money being

were closed last week.
Staff Boosted From zoe to 1000.
The staff of appraisers working
through the II Federal Land Banks
was increased from about 200 last
March to more than 1000. who are now
at work averaging eight appraiSals each
per day.
Morgenthau said he has established a
special section to deal with farmers
facing immediate foreclosure as result
of his recent invitation to have all
of these farmers telegraph him. collect,
in cases where they are unable to obtain
other immediate financing relief.
This invitation was recently reissued
by President Roosevelt and during the
next four days Morgenthau received 581
messages. The average number of daily
messages now ranges from Is to so.
Berry and LANCER said early receipt
of Government cash benefits to wheat
farmers will greatly aid farmers in the

STRIKE PEACE KEY
Union Committee, Asking

UNIONTOWN, Pa, November O.
Striking miners warn that open war
fare seems certain" if steel company
owned colleries are opened before the
men get an understanding" Of peace
plan drawn up by President Roosevelt
and the operators.
A miners committee of eight, seek
ing an audience with the President,
asserts that "a very dangerous condi-
ton exists in Fayette County" where
workers are refusing to return to the
pits without union recognition.
Men are very much confused about
the settlement" says a wire sent to
Mr.. Roosevelt. IF mines are opened
before the men get an understanding
very serious outbreaks may result,
which may result in loss of life"
Leaders Refuse Return.
More than 100 local leaders who
claim to represent $4,000 coal dlggers,
last night decided against immediate
return to the pits, as had been ordered
by high officials of the United Mine
Workers of America, and appointed
eight men to see the President.
Their mild-mannered, but sharp
tongued leader. Martin F. Ryan, was
named chairman of the committee.
Seeing that he was hopelessly outnum-
bered, William Hynes, 130-pound dis
to return to work, agreed to ask Mr..
Doocoyolf for intoryioU He WAS
made member Of the committee.
Other members, all husky miners, are
Patsy Minerd, Howard Hall, Ralph
courley, Andy Richie, Sam Lynch and
Dan Sabula.
Tall, with large blue eyes, dark hair
that is tinsled with gray, and gangling
arms, Ryan has been an implacable foe
of the H. C. Frick Coke Co.'S non-recog-
milton policy.
Sees Miners Tricked.
In his rich Irish brogue he has ham,
rlered into the miners day after day the
idea that the Frick concern. a United
States Steel subsidiary, will trick" them
unless forced to sign a union contract.
Hynes, another son of Erin, whose
father, Patrick Hynes, was one of the
original organizers of the United Mine
Workers of America, more than 40 years
ago, is a much more fiery speaker than
Ryan. wiry. with dark complexion, but
light hair, he does not stand higher
than S feet 6.
Hynes was appointed to head the tur-
bu1ent fourth district of the union two
weeks ago after William Feeney, vet
eran leader, resigned. He has been an
organizer for many years, with long ex-
pereince in handling strikes.
Personal Request Hoped.
Hynes said last night he believes the
men will agree to return to the pits If
they hear President Roosevelt personally
request them to do so.
Ryan said the committee will seek
amplification of the captive mine agree
ment and assurance from the President
himself that 1t means union recogni-
ton. He added:
I'VE have 80 per cent Of the miners
enrolled as United Mine Workers and
we want these men recognized before
they re-enter the pits"
Mine operators indicated they do not
plan to attempt to reopen the pits i'm
mediately. A spokesman for ope Of the
companies said he expected this move
about Monday"

FIGHT STILL RACES.
Miss Perkins Launches Study
as Senators and Others
Protest..

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
returned to her desk today and i'm
mediately plunged into the controversy
which has ragged since the Civil Service
Commission announced policy of not
holding examinations for persons over
40 for Government positions.
Miss Perkins went into study OF the
situation following a request from the
President made yesterday after the mat
ter had been brought to his attention.
The Labor Secretary is known to be
personally against the barring OF per-
sons over 40 from getting new positions,
having announced as general economic
policy she regarded any discrimination
against employment of persons over 40
as very short-sighted at her press con-
ference Tuesday. She was preparing
today to make appointments with men,
bers of the Civil Service Commission
and bureau heads in the various Gov
eminent departments whose advice Is
believed to have been followed by the
Civil Service Commission in formulating
its recent policy.
No Time Set for Talks.
No definite time has been set for
these conferences.
Miss Perkins already has made
casual study of the situation confronting
persons of 40 and over who have ap-
piled for Government positions. She
has stated that she personally feels
that older heads in the Government
as well as any other industry are neces-
sary, because of their maturity, their
ability to weigh their decisions and their
general experience.
Personally" she said earlier this
week, II prefer to work with older peo-
pie and I do not see any great. disad-
vantage that might acrue to a person
simply because of age"
She also has expressed herself as re-
garding the Civil Service Commissions
action as bad example to industry, al
though she has admitted that the Civil
Service Commission seems rather to fol-
low industry"

Committee and formerly chairman, to-
