Wooden Nickels and Pickpockets Mar Pioneer Trek.

Just for the record, the pickpockets are doing well. They apparently follow the caravan and do about a gross business of $400 a town, which is all right if you like that kind of work The volunteer pioneer, however, who sells his own wooden nickels, appeared to give Mr. Cadle more headaches than any of the other invited and uninvited members of the troupe. It seems that he started out with the troupe last winter from New England and followed along studying how to look like a pioneer. He let his hair grow,

Farm Amendment Fought

Steering the bill through the second day of tumultous debate and predicting House passage before ad- | journment tonight, supporters of the Norton measure organized to beat off an attack from a farm bloc determined to modify the measure. The farm bloc attack was in the form of so-called “grange amendments,” exempting from over-time provisions of wage-hour standards | industries processing, producing, handling and distributing live-stock, | poultry, farm and dairy products. To prevent success of the farm bloc effort—behind which Southern Democrats have rallied with Mid- | west Farm Belt Congressmen-—the House labor and the unofficial steex ing committees agreed to offer an amendment to exempt from overtime provisions the original process= ing of milk all year, and industries such as canning and meat packing, where there are rush seasons, for eight weeks a year. Rep. Glenn Griswold (D. Ind); who had been chosen by Mrs. Norton to handle the legal phase of the debate, defended its constitution- | ality from his sickbed today. He is a Labor Committee member. Ordered to bed by the House doctor yesterday, he was the only Indiana Congressman not on the floor as the debate began. All were expected to vote for the Norton bill | except possibly Reps. Samuel B. Pettengill (D.) and Charles Halleck | (R.).
