WHEN LABOR UNITES AGAINST THE UNITED BOSSES
WASHINGTON, April 24. — Amer-
ica's policy toward Russia is in pro-
cess of formulation.
This was the belief her* today.
Whether the American attitude will
be influenced by the English, and by
the demands of industrial interests
who wish trade resumed with the
soviet, or whether it will be pat-
terned so as to throw this country
in line with the French, Poles and
Japanese, was a question.
France Determined.
France, still highly indignant

at the signing of the Russian-German Russian security. Hut he will drive

Hammond—Flood Waters
How easy it is for a govern-
ment to switch from one posi-
tion to another, is well illus- ]
trated by the happenings in!
Canada. During the war, the j
government arranged for the
pooling and selling of wheat
through a government board.
No question was raised as to
the sacredness of the contract,
the right of every wheat
grower to sell his wheat where
he pleased.
Since then the government
has stopped the handling of
wheat, and the trade has drift-
ed back into the private chan-
nels. The fanners of western
Canada, through their parlia-
mentary representatives, have
asked for the re-establishment
of this government wheat
board. But the government
now finds that this would be
unconstitutional. The farmers
of Canada do not yet control
their government, so it does not
fully respond to their wishes.
* ♦
Advices from New Zealand,
another of the British domin-
ions, report just the opposite
attitude. The farmei's there
have agreed to the formation
of a meat pool. Parliament
thereupon passed legislation to
legalize such a pool.
A meat export board, backed
by the financial guarantee of
the state, is to control and di-
rect the export of meat from
New Zealand. It will regu-
late supplies, arrange freights,
make advances to the farmers,
direct the marketing system
abroad, and generally act as
the agent of the men who pro-
duced the meat. The export
of meat through any other
channel than the board may be
prohibited.
How to have government
function in the interest of the
mass of the people is at all
times difficult, unless the mass
of the people have awakened
to their political and economic
interest to the extent that they
themselves can determine the
attitude of the government.
Business interests are al-
ways on the job to have gov-
ernment function for them and
for their protection. Some of
the nice, subtle ways for ac-
complishing this are almost un-
believable. As an instance of
this, we reprint an article from
The Nation:

Harding was ready to discuss the
matter further. He wanted more in-
formation as to what the Moscow
government would offer in the way of
financial and trading concessions.
Secretary Hoover, who seems to have
superceded Secretary of State
Hughes as the president's adviser on
Russian matters, argued that the
need for Russian trade was not suf-
ficient to justify the propaganda to
which all countries would be sub-
jected if the communists did not keep
their bargain.
Then came the Semenov scandal,
with its disclosures of the fact that
the Cossack bandit bad been assisted
to come to Washington to consult
Boris Bakhmeteff and to arrange for
a new czarist invasion of Russia un-
der the direction of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, now in Paris. Public op-
inion began to echo Senator Borah's
suggestion that a pretended ambas-
sador who shielded a murderer such
as Semenov had better be sent pack-
ing. The administration hinted that
Bakeheteff might soon surrender his
credentials. This would simplify the
process of making up with Moscow,
in *case recognition were decided
upon.
ItiiHsia Hants Loan.
Russia's decision to recognize the
war debts and pre-war debts held
by European creditors, In return for
their quarrel with Russia, thanks
chiefly to this Russian concession
on the debts and to the Russo-Ger-
man treaty, it may be time for Hard-
ing and Hoover and Hughes to act.
At least they are no longer sure that
the soviet government will not be
recognized.
Russia wants a big loan, to finance
her rehabilitation. France and Italy
and Britain have not the money.
America has it. Moscow is practical.

V. S. Action Soon I
Lloyd George, however, threatening
to expose the French at Genoa, un-
less their obstructionist policies were
ceased, was thought to have met with
some success.
Rapidly crystallizing conditions, it
was believed here, may bring action

Former Governor Goodrich of In-
diana, has returned from a hasty trip
to Moscow, undertaken since Lloyd
George disclosed his intention to
bring Russian recognition to the fore
at the Genoa conference. Goodrich
talked with Lenin and other mem-
bers of the council of people's com-
missars, and is understood to have
brought back to President Harding
and Secretaries Hoover and Hughes
a confidential message from Lenin
as to the terms Moscow offers for
American recognition.
To the public, Goodrich has merely
represented himself as an adviser of
Hoover in connection with the famine
relief work. But in diplomatic and
official circles here it is known that
Goodrich did not return to Russia
simply to look at what the relief ad-
ministration had accomplished. He
went to ask what Lenin would bid
for the right to have an ambassador
received at the state department.

silver-mine owners of over
$73,000,000 for the privilege of
minting coins of doubtful popu-
larity for which there was no
obvious demand or need. This
situation came about because
of the Pitman Act, passed dur-
ing the war, which authorized
the treasury to melt down the
silver dollars not in circulation
in an amount not to exceed 350
millions and sell them as bul-
lion at a dollar an ounce to the
British government for use in
India. The act further provid-
ed that silver should be repur-
chased from domestic produ-
cers at the same price. But
silver, which at the time of
the passage of the act was sell-
ing at a trifle above one dollar
an ounce, soared higher and
higher in price.
"Only comparatively recent-
ly did it fall below a dollar.

A seven year rain record for ftie
state was smashed Monday when the
rainfall for the period from January
1, to April 24, registered 12.54 Inches
as compared with a normal rainfall
of 6.59. It is pointed out by H. F.
Wahlgren of the local weather bur-
reau that this amount of rain is al-
most double the normal rainfall for
the ten-year average.
With 12.54 inches of rain from
January 1 to April 24, only one year
in the past fifteen beats the record.
That was in 1915 when for the same
period, 13.44 inches fell.
Except for the fact that it retards
cotton planting J. A. Whitehurst of
the state department of agriculture,
declared that the present rain Is "the
best thing that could happen."
"We haven't had too much rain.
The subsoil needs the rain and is tak-
ing it up as fast as possible.
"Another big advantage of the rain
is that it will soften the hard crust
formed on the ground by the heavy
rain that fell the last time and which
has made H almost impossible for
planted crops to get through the
ground," Whitehurst said.
Big Fall at lluinmoiid.
The heaviest rainfall recorded in
the state during the past 48 hours is
reported from Hammond where 3.92
inches fell. At Okeene 3 inches fell.

The weather bureau said that while
the rainfall in the eastern part of the
state was lighter, this was only be-
cause the storm came from the west
and had not reached that portion of
the state. Forecast is for heavy rains
in the eastern part of the state to-
day.
The weatherman declared that
while it was too early to determine
whether the present rains will cause
a reoccurrance of flood water which
followed the last big rain, in all pro-
bability high water will be seen in
many parts of the state.
Asked as to whether the heavj
rain in the northwestern part of tho
state would not cause the North Can*
adian river to reach a flood stage
here, he declared that it could not be
determined until more information is
received.
SLASH MINIMUM
WOMEN'S WAGE
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24—The
state industrial welfare commission
has reduced the minimum wage for
women workers in certain occupa-
tions from $16 to $15 a week. The
California Manufacturers' association
had asked for a reduction to $12. This
brings the wages of unskilled women
from $10 to $9. The reductions ap-
ply to women working in canneries,
fruit and vegetable packing and gen-
eral manufacturing. The minimum
is still unchanged for office, laundry,
restaurant, hotel and store workers.
Declaring that it is impossible for
a woman to support herself decently
on any less than the former mini-
mum, the labor unions of the state
are preparing to fight the award,
which was made by a three to one
vote of the commissioners. A joint
petition to disapprove the reduction
will be made to Governor Stephens,
who is said to be opposed to the
commission's action. The Sacra-
mento Federated Trades council has
started action for placing an initia-
tive petition on the ballot next No-
vember which will increase the min-
imum wage and abolish the indus-
trial welfare commission.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 24.—
Two hundred members of the United
Mine Workers of this district are to
be placed on trial today in the tJnited
States court here. The crime with
which they are charged is murder
and treason. The charge Is based
on evidence alleged to have been ob-
tained during civil war that swept
this state in the latter part of
August, 1921, in connection with the
armed march of the miners In I^jgan
county at that time, and continued
more or less ever since.
The trouble in the first place was
precipitated by the refusal of the
coal operators here to grant the

President Wilson to end the 1919 coal
strike.

Strawberry Pickers. penden,3 8tarve: havins in thn mean
A bumper fruit crop for Oklahoma
is predicted by the weekly crop re-
port issued today by the state board
of agriculture. "It is very unlikely
that there will be weather cold
enough to do any further damage to
the fruit," the report says.
"Successful fruit growers over the
state have seen the benefits of spray-
ing and those who have not already
completed their first spraying are

"This office is in receipt of a pos-

500 strawberry pickers, which is
complete evidence that Oklahoma is
rapidly coming to the front as a great
berry producing state. This associa-
tion has headquarters at Broken
Bow, Owla., and states that they can
use this many pickers during the en-
tire picking season from April 20th
to May 20th.

and applied to "the miners of Amer-

were immediately locked out of the
mines by the bosses and thrown out
of the company's houses. There was
no interference to this action taken
by the government, despite the many
appeals that were sent by tho min-

Jose Salazar Charged With

who was shot in a pool hall on

Information was filed in the jus-

murder of Pearls.
Hughes announced that this would
be the second time that he had asked

From National Guard—For-
bids "Double Allegiance."
Behind Governor Robertson's de-
mand for a sweeping investigation
into the activities of the Ku Klux
Klan in the Oklahoma National
Guard is the information that Major
C. M. Reber, commander of the na-
tional guard at Shawnee, is a mem-
ber of the Ku Klux Klan.
This information Is contained in a
petition signed by 267 tax payers of
Pottowatomie county, asking for a
grand jury to Investigate the activi-
ties of the organization In that
county.
The petition has been presented to
Hal Johnson, district judge at Shaw-
nee. When asked whether he would
call a grand jury to go Into the mat-
ter, Johnson, replied that he would
"when he got ready."
The official roster of the Shawnee
Klan with other records of the or-
ganization are in the possession of
Governor Robertson and it is largely
upon this information that the gov-
ernor has issued an order designed to
clean out members of the Klan from
the national guard.

which it was claimed by various per-

irregularities?
None of these questions, it was
pointed out, could possibly harm the
Wilkin-Hale depositors, now that the
bank is being liquidated.
If there was no reason for with-
holding the sources of the bank's
losses the officials of the bank and
the state officers should be willing to
let the public know the facts. If the
bank failed merely because of the
run by depositors and not for any
oilier cause then the bank official
should be eager to clear up the host
of rumors that are prevalent, deposi-
tors assert.
The Okmulgee disclosures and Ir-
regularities in handling the bank
guarantee fund have disquieted th«
public.
Parkinson has just completed Ilia
audit of the huge deficit in the bank
guarantee fund. The audit shows a
cash deficit of $2,091,120.58 on Febru-
ary 9. it showed the fund to have
but $103,697.89 cash on hand and
$2,194,818.47 outstanding. A total of
$7,634,151.79 has been paid out of the
fund to reimburse depositors of the
failed banks while but $2,064,298.8^
has been collected from assets taken
