stock she tended daily included q

Sweeping ]. p. Morgan and the
New York financiers into the enemy
camp along with the steel industry
proper and enlisting the implied sup
port of President Roosevelt by quot
ing him twice during last nights radio
address, John L. Lewis. chairman for
the Committee on Industrial Organ
ization, today called for increased
intensity in organization efforts in
the important areas of the $5,00Q,-
100000 steel industry.
The strategy of the belligerent
union leaders speech last night was
evident throughout, but probably none
the less effective for its lack of
subtlety.
His appeal, for instance. was di-
rected to all the ranks of labor and
even to those who might sympathize
with labor in the common cause of
hostility toward the banker barons"
and economic royalists" who have
been so often attacked in recent years.
And most specifically did he call on
the workers in the textile, lumber,
rubber and automotive industries
mass production industries which
already have been marked for atten-
ton of the c. !. O.-to join actively
in the industrial organization drive
which has made the steel mills Its
first target.
Popular Liberals Cited.
Twice he classed the rulers OF the
steel industry among the "black sheep"
attacked by President Roosevelt on
different occasions and cited among
those who have fought in the same
cause such popular liberals as the
late Senator La Toilette. Justice
Brandeis. President Theodore Roose-
velt and Senator Norris.
Speaking in sonorous and solemn
tones, he never once asked or ex-
tended any hope Of quarter in the
impending fight. But the RESPONSE

will be solely upon the shoulders of
the leaders of industry, and upon

Ney's execution was faxed and that

Modification of the soil conserva-
ton program to encourage the
widest possible conservation of forage"
in the Midwestern drought area was
announced today by the A. A. A as
wheat prices shot up to the highest
level since August, 1884. On the
Chicago market July wheat sold above
$1.10 a bushel, within a fraction Of
the 5 cents maximum gain permis-
sible.
Meanwhile a White House confer
ence on the drought crisis was called
for this afternoon by President
Roosevelt, and Weather Bureau pre-
dictions forecast continued aridity and
"abnormally high" temperatures for
the affected area.
Sections Affected.
A. A. A. officials said the modifica-
tions would apply to officially desig-
mated emergency drought areas to be
named later this week, principally in
North Dakota, Montana and Wyo-
ming.
The change was made, they added,
to preserve all available forage for
planting of forage and feed crops for
use during the coming Fall and
Winter.
George z. Farrell, Western regional
director, recommended the changes
after an inspection tour of the drought
areas.
Farmers in designated counties may
comply with the soil conservation pro-
gram under the modified regulations
and still receive subsidy payments. it
was said. or they may comply with
the original regulations, depending
upon drought damage on their individ-
ual farms.
Invited to White House.
Those invited to the White House
meeting were Rexford G .Tugwell,
resettlement administrator; Aubrey
Williams, assistant works progress
administrator; j. B. Hutson, acting
A. A. A. administrator. and Jesse w.
Tapp, chairman Of the Agriculture De-
partment Drought Committee.
At the same time, a report was
being prepared for submission to
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tor Tolley, suggesting the amount OF
benefit payments for farmers whose
seeded soil-conserving crops did not
yield or were damaged by drought.
Payments will be made to many who
seeded legumes, but it had not been
decided whether to make part or full
payments on green fertilizer crops
which did not come up.
In any event, officials said, the
"No. payment" for retirement OF
Is per cent of cultivated acreage
will be made. The first payment also
will be made to farmers resettled
under the plan of voluntary surrender
Of lands definitely arid.
Officials were spurred In their
drought relief undertakings by a
grim account of conditions furnished
by Farrell, just back from an in
epection tour of the parched area.
Farrell said there had been a very
serious drop in the underground water
table, an important source of moisture.
