LABOR SHORT
WITH FARMERS
Approach Spring With Labor
Employment In Conflict
With the C. w. A.
CROPS ARE IN JEOPARDY

Solution of the employment
problem, especially as it relates tt
farm work, was discussed al
length Monday afternoon at a con-
ference in Dover between Governor
g. ID. Buck and more than so rep
resentatives of the oranges and
other agricultural organizations
from all parts of the State. The
farmers said they find themselves
needing help and not being able to
get it because they cannot compete
with a situation brought about by
the relief agencies. In view of the
fast approach of the time for en-
ploying farm labor the opinion was
prevalent among those attending
the conference that a period of I'M
usual dissatisfaction was near at
hand on the part of those who are
usually employed on the farms be-
cause under the CWA program
this class of labor has been paid as
much in two or three days as the
farmer is able to offer for a weeks
work. 1t was further emphasized
that the idea of working two DAYS
and resting for the balance of the
week has an appeal to the farm
hand just as it has to the me
chanic. 1t was explained that
when the PWA policy was being
discussed last Fall the farmer was
told he would have to swim for
himself" and when the time came
for apple harvesting the trouble
with farm labor began as the price
to be paid for help could not be
met by the employer. 1t was the
concensus of opinion among those
present that further consideration
of the subject should be taken up
at grange meetings and other pub
Tic assemblages of farmers and if
the sentiment developed at these
gatherings should warrant it the
Governor would be petitioned to
present the views of the farmers,
to the administrator of the CW.A
and direct relief funds in Washing
ton and also to have the situation
brought to the attention of the
General Assembly when it convenes
next month. TWAS the general
feeling expressed by most of those
present that something must be
done in relation to this matter be-

Rev. JAS. r. Galley, Minister, An

Faith is an absolute necessity in
the life of Christian. 1t may be
likened unto coupling which at
taches the car to the engine. All
the power and speed and mo
mentum that belongs to the engine
now becomes transmitted to the
car. The coupling is simply the
medium of communicating that
power. So faith joins the believer
to Christ, and makes him the par
taker of all hiatt Christ has and is
and does. Faith of itself has no
power, regardless of how great
that faith is. The value of the

LIMA, Ohio, March II G.N.S0
Charles Makley, wise-cracking Dill

guilty of the first-degree murder
of Sheriff Jess L. Sarber.
The jury, comprised of II men

Sheriff Sarber, who was shot,
fatally wounded, and dubbed last
October IL when a gang of Dill
linger henchmen raided the county
jail here and freed their leader.

CAPTAIN RICKENBACKER

CHICAGO, March II G.N.SO.-
After inspecting Eastern zone and
Central zone facilities Maj. Gen.
Benjamin D. Fouls, chief of the
Army Air Corps, today indicated
he would recommend immediate
resumption of the Army's cur
tailed mail flying schedule.
Aides of General Foulois said
the Air Corps chieftain's report
to the War Department probably
would be made public this after
noon. General Foulois declared:
The Eastern zone and the
Central zone appear to be in
good shape. / believe that the
mail routes will be flown again
as soon as can make my re-
port to the War Department."
General Foulois conferred at
length with three commandants
directly in charge of the air mail
flying. They were Lieut.. Col.
Horace Hickman, commandant Of
the Central zone; Colonel H. H.
Arnold, head of the Western zone,
and Major B. @. Jones, COM
mander of the Eastern mail zone.

SUBWAY TOPIC
Of DISCUSSION

Feasibility Of appointing COM
mittee to study the possibility of
subway construction in Washing
ton will be discussed Monday by
Riley E. Elgen, acting chairman
Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, and Major John C. Gotwals,
the other member of the commits
sion.
Mr.. Elgen said he favors nam
ing a committee of representatives
of the District Government, the
P. U. c., the Park and Planning
Commission and the local traction
company to study the question.
Such construction, Mr.. Elgen
feels, would go far toward solving
traffic and transportation prob
lens here and would be especially
desirable at the present time be-
cause of the jobs it would create.
The most serious problem would
be financing such venture, but
it is hoped that the Public Works
Administration might be inter
eSted in the project.

Analyzing the status Of the
supply bill, he said House mo-

Senate Not Bound
Senate conferees, however, are
not so strictly bound, and will be
at liberty to agree with House
demands. Their failure to do so
will send the measure back to

Should the Senators return to
Washington on Monday, a con-
ference might be called then, but
this is considered unlikely.
