CHICAGO FACES
HEATLESS ERA
Chicago. .Jan. 5.—The beginning of
a. possible “beat less era” of unde
termined duration dawned here today
when 3.000 c al truck drivers em
ployed by the 400 odd coal yards
serving virtually the entire city,
walked out on strike.
Pending a settlement, union of
ficials declared only hospitals and
orphanages will he supplied with
fne! and a city-wide survey indicated
that an extended tie-up in deliveries
u ill bring hardship to private homes,
hotels and apartment houses, whose
i eserve stocks arc small.
The drivers are demanding an In
crease of $1 a day and working regu
lations will exempt ’hem from hav
ing to load or unload any of the coal
on their trucks.

chairman Sterling of the postoffice
c ommittee to recommit the pay meas
ure which received executive disap

If the president is sustained, the
house will not be rolled upon to act,
the pay raise measure having origi
nated In the senate. In its place will
be advanced the administration’s

today to place it before the senate
prior to consideration of the veto.

Crider the unanimous consent
agreement which became operative
today the senate must vote on the
veto not later than 4 p, m tomorrow.
I'nder the parliamentary situation
now existing, the pay and rate ad

dictions today by senators speaking
for the overriding of the veto that
the bill would not be passed at this
session.

her testimony declared Mrs. Scott
had confided to her that she had re
ceived visits late at night in her
apartments from army officers and
the clerk of a Washington hotel
where the Scotti resided Mrs. Scott
denied that she had a conversational
code whereby she communicated with
the hotel clerk. She characterized
as a malicious lie" Miss Kennedy's
testimony that the clerk had helped
her dress for dinner.
I told Miss Kennedv h* came to
my apartment on a Sunday noon and
I gave him some magazines, hut I
never said he helped me In dressing
Those are malicious lies," Mrs. R«ott
testified. She also den ed that the

Farm Editor Finds State College
v£\ Set for "Organized Agriculture
_—_r
.A «, i .aid for One of Greatest Sessions in History of \ n
V)
^ mial K.vcnt; Roads to Li neoin Bear K\ idenee of
Need for Improvement.
By ('. II. Bl.AKEI.Y,
Fitrm Filitur Tin* Omaha lice.
Lincoln I n. "Organized agriculture. What fit* you mean, organized
agriculture? Why, there Isn't any such animal." say the Incredulous. But
don't l»e fooled. Organized agriculture Is a going concern here at Lincoln.
I h id been forew irned that Lincoln would he the center of some big
finings in ag» iculture fop the week, so 1 gassed up "the old boat" and pro
ceeded to p -t out here and lay a preliminary foundation to see the thins
pulled off. The agricultural editor had not. been off the pavement since ih"
now began to fiv so the first thing noted upon the way flown was the roads.
The "raveled roads are good, theidpr if th.it is not a nrettv good way
pavement is always good. But right
here let * get off nf organized agri
culture long enough to talk about
n»ads for n moment The fellow who
w rote In to The Omaha Bee criticizing
its full page advertisement, “Pull 'Ne
braska out of the mud," should have
been along this morning. Not mud.
but ruts and whoever saw ruts un
1* ss mud had been there before the
ruts. The cold wave hay left the*
roads “plenty bad’* as the slang
phrase goes. In fact it has produced
.» permanent wave in the dirt roads.
Arrived at the rani puff of the I’nl
versitv of Nebraska. I looked around
for something which would give *
starting point for the coming con
flail of organized agriculture And
found the shock troops of.agriculture,
the county agricultural agents of Ne
braska. already holding session*.
At this session, which is held each
year, they just talk things over,
[plans out campaigns for bigger and
better Agriculture. It i.-- the meeting
where personality is lost Where the
big things of agriculture for Ne
braska aie talked. It is but the fore
runner of the public sessions wh ch
will be held this week.
Today th«» campus is outw irdlv
[calm, but inside the many depart
mental building* there Is h< c»n
Kverv department of the agricultural
college i« getting ready'for tomorrow
I fell in with Prof Howard Oram
llch and gave the college the once
over. This will indeed be a week f <
organized agrh uIture. a week where
much rail be accomplished If prep
rations have anything to do with its
success.
I'pon the wav front Omaha to TJn
coin 1 noticed many fields where the
ho*2s were doing the harvesting. W >n
m pick coin. Mnny fanners believe
it is nisi as economical as hiring men
to do the harvesting, then hiring
them to carry it back* to the feed
yards. At any rate it is more profit
able than letting the corn stand in
the field all winter.
Of course. I know winter set In
early this fall, but then I also know
» great many farmers wh > started
i licit spring work early last spring,
and most of those fellows have their
cnrn picked, too. The writer doesn’t
want to ever preach or be guilty of
telling farmers how to run their busi
ne>- but. how it hurts to see $1.50
cnrn lying out there under the snow.
It represents real loss ti someone.
Perhaps many who failed to get their
corn picked at corn picking time had
a good alibi, but mostly it is a case
of planting corn when it should have
been cultivated and cultivating it
when hay should have been put up
and pi* king it when the owner should
l.c going down to Lincoln to attend
.a ganized agriculture."
The writer cann >t help but wonder
if t lie speakers here will tell the farm
cis that the best organization In the
world is doing things when It is sea
sonable t«» do them. I have picked
corn in April after it had lain under
three months of winter snow So
when I left the city and meandered
a< toss Nebraska's fertile fields, just
snooping around for something to
write about, whv naturally I felt in
dignant t ward the fellow who would
let his corn lie out in the snow. Of
course "hen I was farming, why. I
was ho busy I didn’t hfcve the hay
half up when corn pp king time came.
I kn<>" it s easy to tell the other fe|
p»\« how to do it. but honestly I iust
can’t ger over seeing that good corn
l>lng out there in the snow.
