the theme Of the 18th Annual Farm
rNomen's Camp held at Jackson's
Mill, August 3-8. Many Of the farm
women in the state have made much
rogress during th past decade. 1t is
evident TINT IN much of this progress
aae Annual Farm WOmen's Camp has
had vital influence.
On Frilny, August 7, some of the
farm women at the camp gave q re-
port on the camp by radio from sta
lion WAtMN. This broadcast included
two brief messages and music by a
sextet OF the farm women. Mrs. Rap
king was one Of the speakers and
made the following statement:

This year we have had with us as

Denies Concessions Made

San Francisco, Nov. 17-tAP)-Re-

eral maritime strike revived peace
hopes here today, despite denials of
concessions by either side.
The joint conference, first between

ers nearly three weeks ago, came
after an arbitration appeal from nine
east and west coast seaport mayors.
Legal action against steamship
companies was agreed upon today by
70 tourists strikebound in Hawaii,
where 700 travellers and 900 seamen
were stranded by the strike. The 70
voted unanimously to sue for "ade-
quate compensation" for failure of
the lines to carry them to their des-
tinations.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady, who arranged the
joint discussions here, said neither
side has receded from it's original po-
sitions."

SPEAKERSH|P FIGHT
IN HOUSE CERTAIN
South's Demand for Place
Will Be Disputed By
North and West
BY CHARLES II. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Nov. 17.-Friction be-
tween the South, the North and the
West is a strong probability when the
national administration and Congress
begin to reorganize themselves early
in 1887.
The South, with much justification,
always has considered itself the Dem
ocratic partys backbone since the
war of secession.
When Democracy has won, Dixie
invariably has insisted that it, prin-
cipally was responsible for it, and has
demanded a preponderant share OF
the emoluments accordingly.
It's title to them largely has been
recognized heretofore, but now there
is some northern and western DISPOSE
ton to question them-or at least,
their proportions.

Appealing to business to shorten
hours, provide workers with high buy

said:
''I'he Federal government cannot
refuse responsibility for providing
jobs to those whom private industry
does not hire
Because of the higher productivity
of machines and other factors, ex
perts have estimated, Hopkins said
that our total production would have
to be 20 percent above the 1929 leve
to reduce unemployment to the pro
portions of 1929"
