WELT TO VETO BONUS DESPITE FLOOD OF APPEALS
1000 Farmers
Demand AAA
Be Retained
international News Service

A boisterous, determined little
army of farmers crowded into
Cor stitution Hall today to demon
strate in favor of the AAA and
the Administrators farm pro-
gram in general.
The gathering, more than 1000
strong, was one of the most un-
usual sights ever witnessed in the
National Capital.
The farmers came from the cot
ton and tobacco belts of the South
and the wheat and corn belts Of
the West.
They came by train, by motor,
and some by foot. Their leaders
claimed they paid their own ex'
penseS. They paid a quarter adj
mission to get into their own
meeting.
Delegates Wear Overalls
Some came in overalls and
floppy-brimmed straw hats. Most
of them donned their Sunday
suits.
Their leader was "Clif" H. Day,
a Plainview, Texas, farmer. In
keynote speeches, they declared
they had come to washington to
thank the Administration for the
AAA program and to let the ma
ton know they wanted that pro-
gram to continue.
Once inside Constitution Hall,
they whooped it up for the Ad-
ministration's farm program by
rousing cheers from the different
State delegations as they waited
for the speakers. When the
State delegations were not cheer
ing, yells would rend the air from
individuals. The meeting sounded
like a cross between a rodeo and
a prizefight.
President to Speak
President Roosevelt will greet
the farmers from the south por-
tico of the White House at S p. m.
today. A group of 20odd Sen
ators and Representatives will join
the President in this greeting, and
it is expected Mr.. Roosevelt will
make brief, informal speech.
The keynote speech was made
by w. H. Robertson, of Loacha-
peka, Ala, who was elected chair
man of the meeting.
Denying that the gathering had
any connection with any farm or
ganization, Mr.. Robertson de-
clared:
eve left the pillow handles to
come here and are paying our
own way, and are not the pawnS
Of high-powered lobbyists.
"There is not a community
in the cotton belt that is not
represented in this body.
AAA MUST STAY
Eve are here to say that
the AAA program, which has
done so much to restore eco
nOmic conditions on the farms
Of the nation, must be con-
tinued.'
These statements were greeted
with riotouS applause and yells
by the farmers.
Mr.. Robertson was followed by
L. M. Lawson, of South Carolina,
who warned that while the farm
ers had come to express thanks,
they could come to condemn
should the occasion arise.
He added:
LET me say to the enemies
Of agriculture and the farmer
that beneficient administration
has not given some of the bene-
fits enjoyed by industry only
to have them quickly taken
away"

Steel cutoff Wall (Diaphram)
The Frazier-D Davis Co. is making
better progress on the steel sheet
pile cut off wall. Their operations
on the west side of the river have
been entirely cleared in the area
where the placing of dredging fill
is about to begin. Equipment is
being taken up the west abutment
preparatory to continuing to the
westward range walls and the main
cut off we'll. Their pumphouse has
been moved above the dam and
pipelines will soon be connected
up so as to furnish water and COM
pressed air to the driving rigs.
On the east bank of the Missouri
River, the driving is proceeding
faster. The several locomotive
cranes set a total of 403 sheets
for the bottom tier of the wall dur
ing the week ending at 100 p. m.
April 7. On Saturday April 6, the
the crew working with one of the
locomotive cranes set % sheets
during one shift. This record was
first made last fall and remained
uneaqualed until last Saturday.
Following the cranes. the eantry
towers placed a total of 343 sheets
on top of the first tier and conplet-
ed the driving of both tiers to firm
shale. This final driving made an
average penetration into the ground
of approximately 125 feet. Vari-
alton in the nature of the subsoil
required frequent changes in the
methods adopted to get the long
sheets of steel down to their final
resting places on the underlying
bedrock. Considerable ingenuity
has been shown by the contractors
and their men to achieve the re-
suits required by the Army Enein-
charge of the work.
Last week the Massman Const.
20. averaged over $4,000 cubic
1ards per day on their dirt. moving
