DEMAND FOB LABOR MANY REQUESTS REACH WASH INGTON FOR WORKERS. ARMY OF HARVESTERS NEEDED Oklahoma is Said to Need Sixteen or Eighteen Thousand and Kansas Thirty-Five Thousand. Washington, IX C.—War orders from Europe, th* prospective record breaking crop of wheat now being harvested, and heavy yields of other grains are crating a new demand for labor, according to indications at the government employment office in the department of labor. Requests for workers are coming from many manufacturers and farm ers throughout the country and from slate labor commissioners. Oklahoma is said to need from 16, 000 to 18,000 harvest hands, and Kan sas 35,000. An Oregon association has applied for 1,000 berry pickers. An arms and ammunition plant in Connecticut has asked for 300 men. Zinc and lead mines in Missouri need 1.000 laborers. A Maryland steel company has ap plied for 100 hands. In West Virginia 2,000 coal mine employes are wanted. So far the department has been more successful in the cities than in the country in placing men who want work. Of the 3,495 for whom it se cured places last month, 1,500 were sent to Chicago alone, a railroad com pany having applied for several thou sand track workers. It is stated that about 25 per cent of all applicants for jobs during May were placed through the department’s efforts. Officers Quit to Make Munitions. Washington.—Offers of large sal aries to expert ordnance officers of the army by private manufacturers of war munitions for European bel ligerents have created such a serious problem in the War department that Secretary Garrison called upon Attor ney General Gregory for an opinion as to whether an army officer has an "inalienable right” to resign his com mission in time of peace. Four resig nations were accepted before the gravity of the situation was realized, but two others recently tendered are being held up pending the attorney general’s decision and the formula tion of a general policy of the depart ment. While high officials of the gov ernment are reluctant to permit wholesale resignations and are even inclined to consider it unpatriotic for officers to quit the services for more money, the legal authorities seriously doubt that any law can be found to keep an officer in the army against his will. Y^le Crew Wins Regatta. Xewr London, Conn.—For the first time in many years Yale university crews swept the river in the annual dual regatta with Harvard. Notwith standing delays due to rough water and accidents the English coached eights of the blue with characteristic buildog determination, fought for victory, defeating in turn the junior, varsity and freshmen eights of the crimson. Victory was exceedingly sweet to the Elis, for the university regatta records have to be searched for many years to find a Yale triple victory, although similar Harvard successes are of more frequent and recent occurrence. To add to the joy of the blue the varsity eight es tablished a new up-stream course record in winning the big race. To Have 18 More Corps. Zurich. Switzerland.—According to an authoritative military source, Germany will be able to place eight een more army corps in the field by the end of July. These are composed I chiefly of the second category of the comprising men who have never per formed military service, but who are in training, and in land reserves which have been resting in the inter ior of Germany. It is calculated that these new corps will about equal in ! number the exhausted troops return ing from Galicia who will be granted partial rest, doing service as inland reserves. Clerks Give Bryan Gold Watch. Washington. — Employes of the State department presented former Secretary Bryan with an engraved gold watch. In accepting the watch Mr. Bryan said that he would treas ure it particularly because he recog nized that it was given as a personal token and not as “an expression of political attachment.” Battalion Nearly Annihilated.

NtMBERS BOUGHT IN EAST NOW Handicraft Plant, Recently Taken Over by State, Will Not Furnish Employment for All. I. ncoln.—C. W. Pool, secretary of state, has submitted to the board of control a plan for the establishment of a new industry at the penitentiary. He is of the opinion that the state touid make a big profit manufacturing automobile numbers. At present the numbers are purchased front an east ern firm at SVi cents each. This year, the first under the new registration law, Mr. Pool will buy about 50,000 numbers. Next year about 70,000, ex clusive of motorcycle numbers, will be needed, inasmuch as this year many secured numbers under the old law before the new- went into effect. The industry will not conflict with any private enterprise within the sta’ e. Moreover, it would not require extensive machinery. About all that would be needed would be machines to stamp numbers on the steel plates. Stamping and painting in two colors would be about all there would be to it. T'nttcr the new- law a new set of numbers is required each year. The board has the idea under considera tion. The handicraft furniture plant at the penitentiary- was recently tak en over by the state, but that will not furnish employment to all the pri soners. The numbers can be manu factured a year ahead and the raw material purchased at a time when market conditions are best. Roads Denied Raise. Four of the seven judges of the Ne bniska supreme court united in a de cision denying Nebraska railroads | the writ of mandamus sought by them to compel the state railway commission to grant them an in crease in passenger rates to cents. The suit was brought for atl the roads by the Missouri Pacific, which was selected, inasmuch as its traffic conditions made the best show ing for the necessity of an increase. Tlie case in the supreme court was an appeal from the railway commis ; sion, which had turned down the roads on the cry that, in view of the j specific enactment of the 1907 legis lature for a 2-cent fare, it had no power to grant an increase. Chief Justice Morrissey, Judges Fawcett, Hamer and Rose sustain this view, holding that only the leg islature can change this enactment. The minority. Judges Barnes. Let ton and Sedgwick, in the dissent ng opinion, hold the view that the 1907 2-cent fare law was only a temporary order, and subject to change later at the hands of the commission. It is the first case in which the su preme court has directly passed upon ! the ratemaking powers of the com i mission. The limitation imposed is ol far-reaching importance. _ Idaho to Pay Its Bonds. Nebraska is liable to have money on its hands in considerable quanti ties about July 1, according to State Treasurer Hall. He has received no tice that the state of Idaho, which borrowed $703,500 on a twenty-year bond with an option of paying all or part at the expifation of ten years, will exercise that option on July 1, and will take up a portion of the bonds amounting to $330,000. In addi tion to this money about $100,000 i more will come in on interest on the tends held by the state firm other j states and places where investments j lave been made. Membership Tripled. Membership has tripled within the last year in the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Nebraska, which are conducted co ' operatively by the United States De : partment of Agriculture and the Agri I cultural Extension Service of the Col lege of Agriculture. The enrollment during the season of 1913 and 1914 was 2.200. This year it is over 6.000. Excluding the Omaha and Lincoln members, the dozen counties having the largest enrollment in the order of their rank are Seotts Bluff. Thurston, Saunders. Morrill. Dakota. Fillmore. Madison. Dawes, Burt. Gage. Kimball, and Hall. Morris Will Stick. Dan Morris of Kearney will retain his office as president of the state normal board, to which he was elect ed recently. Although he is the one neutral member of the board, which without him is evenly split into two factions, his election was something of an accident. Fifty Per Cent Less Cholera. As the simultaneous treatment for hog cholera has been very largely used in Nebraska during the past two years, the Department of Animal Pa thology at the University Farm thinks it is fair to assume that a part of the lessened cholera this year is due to this method. The first six months of 1915 finds the state with 50 per cent less cholera than a year ago. accord ing to the department. This is taken to disprove the contention that the use of virus is spreading the disease. Express Co. to Pay Its Tax. The American Express Co. notified Auditor Smith that it would pay its occupation tax under the Smith law, amounting to $9,866 for 1914. The board of assessment had directed the attorney general to bring suit to col lect the tax. Coal Contracts Awarded. The Board of Control has awarded coal contracts for supplying the dif ferent state institutions, the prices running from-’Vfe to 5 cents lower than the contracts last year.
