$4,000 GAIN
IN JOBS SEEN
BY GREEN

There were $4,000 more per,
sons at work in this country dur
ing the past January than there
were during~the January Of 1884,
according to a statement today by
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Credit for the increase in en-
ploymentt was attributed by the
labor leader to rise in produc-
ton of American mines and fac
tories, that at the opening of 1885
reached the highest point attained
since the "pre-code boom" OF 1888.
Mr.. Green said:
"The gain in employment is
significant because it is due to
an actual increase in industrial
activity"
Trade union reports for the
first part of February show EN-.
ployment gains have continued at
least to February Is, when 1913
per cent of the membership was
out of work, compared with 81
per cent in January and with
22.6 per cent in January last
year.

FaISehoodS Are Charged to

By Scripps-Hoeard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Failure
Of 70 Indian reservations to approve
tribal reorganization under the
Wheeler Howard Act is attributed
to special interests which feared
that they would lose positions OF
advantage" by Indian Commissioner
John Collier.
The charge is set forth in the
commissioners annual report.
One hundred and seventy-tWo
tribes, with total population Of
l32,426, voted to put themselves
under provisions Of the act. The
tribes voting adversely have popu-
lation Of only 63,467, but they in
clude the Navajos, whose reserva-
ton is the largest under Indian
Bureau jurisdiction.
Misrepresentation Is Charged
Charging that the special inter

feat the act, Mr.. Collier reports:
Joining hands in this campaign
Of misrepresentation were stOCkmen
who feared that the Indians would
run their own stock on land hither-
to leased to white interests; traders
who were afraid of losing their
business through the competition
of Indian consumers co-operatives;
merchants and politicians in white
communities on the edge Of reser-

scented the extension of the consti-
tutional guaranty OF religious lib

Chinch Bug Outbreak Feared

HE chinch bug, bane of the corn raiser Is
preparing to wage a battle of destruction
throughout the corif belt unless unfavorable
weather conditions develop. They threaten to
oe far more numerous than they were last year.
The States most severely infested are Iowa,
Illinois Missouri and Kansas. says DIR. p NJ
Armand who is in charge of the division of
cereal and forage insects, Bureau Of Ento-
mology and Plant Quarantine. Heavily infested
also, he adds are Oklahoma. Indiana Ohio
Southern Michigan, Southern Wisconsin, South
eastern Nebraska and the southeastern corner
of Minnesota.
Burning the bugs in their Winter quarters
an effective partial control measure in open
fields where there is no fire hazards to wooded
areaS-has been hindered this season by heavy
rainfall. Weather permitting, however, DR..
Armand says, much can still be done in the
treeless western part Of the infested area to
destroy the bugs now tucked snugly away at
the roots Of tall grasses. But burning, though
1t can be counted on to kill millions of bugs in
restricted areas, cannot stop chinch bug at
tack in 1885 fully as serious as that of last
season. Only nature, by sending heavy rains
when the bugs emerge to lay their eggs or while
the bugs are still small, can save small grains
from severe damage next Spring.
Fortunately for corn belt farmers Dr. Armand
says, there are some crops on which the chinch
bug will not feed notably the legumes, including
red and sweet clovers alfalfa, vetch soy beans
