PUBLIC WELFARE

'IGNORED, CLAIMS WESM SOLON Both Capital and Labor , Charged With "Inconsistency and Narrowness." WASHINGTON. Aug. SO. Charging both capital and labor with "inconsistency and narrowness" in their viewpoints and with having ignored the public welfare, Senator Miles, Poindexter, Washington, Republican, urged in

the Senate Friday, that the govern

ment take some Btepa to compel them to meet for the purpose of reaching an understanding. Such a conference, he said, might effect a settlement of the labor controversies which now threaten "the peace and order and well being of the entire country." Calling attention to a resolution he

introduced recently, authorising the president to call such a meeting "at

an early date," the Senator said he re

gretted that the Senate Labor committe had failed to take action on it. He said that after the resolution had been offered he had received communica

tions from President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor,

as well as from manufacturers, expressing resentment because the reso

lution was Introduced without having consulted them." "Representatives of organized indus

tries and labor," Senator Poindexter

said, "don't wish to confer with each other, and for that reason the govern

ment ought to take steps to bring them together." Chairman William Kenyon, of the Labor committee, said plans were being made for joint consideration of the resolution by House and Senate com

mittees.

FEW APPLICANTS FOR MINISTRY; H.C.L.

AND LOW PAY CAUSE

High costs of living and the war are directly responsible for an ever

growing shortage of ministers, accoraing to the Rev. Somerville Light, district superintendent of the Methodist church. Richmond district.

"The war caused a large number of

men that were In the ministry, to

leave their pulpits to enter the service

ither in the Y. M. C. A., the Kea

ross or as chaplains, and a large

number of these have not returned,"

the Rev. Light said.

"Then, too, the theological schools and colleges were drained of young

men who were preparing for the mm

istry, but who went Into military serv

ice when war was declared.

"A number of these young men have not yet returned from the service, and

those that have returned to school are

Just now getting settled into the completion of their preparation. Thus our supply was cut off for almost two

Mtra from the colleges and schools

ffTfee hiKhlv commercial attitude

tt" A by many during the war also

.Veted the ranks of the ministry

&Aen calls came for men to take

fclghly lucrative positions, a number of men left the pulpit for more re

munerative work. Could Not Support Selves

"Here too, the cost of living comes

In. With the ever Increasing cost of

living, ministers became unable to

support themselves on their salaries

and as a result were forced to seek other employment in order to main

tain their homes. "I believe however, that with the re

turn of normal conditions and the re

duction in the cost of living, will re

11 eve the present condition, and that ministers will be able to return to

their pulpits as before the war."

In speaking of the shortage, the Rev. Light said that only recently he had been forced to send all the way to Florida to get a minister to f.'M one

of the pulpits In his district This is a thing that had never been done In the district before, he said but the shortage of ministers made the step necessary. Y. M.C. A. Will Maintain Service Men's Department After Rayle's Departure The Y. M. C. A. through its regular staff, will do its utmost to obtain positions for returned soldiers, after the departure of W. 8. Rayle, returned service men's secretary, who leaves the last of August. Rayle, who has been acting in the capacity of returned service men's secretary, since May 14, has done very valuable work in placing ex-soldiers in local business houses, plant, factories, railroads, etc., and it will be with great regret that he leaves. Since May 14, he has placed approximately 204 men in positions in and around Richmond, which is a daily average of 2. About 216 men have been placed by the Y. M. C. A. since it opened free employment department for returned soldiers, in March. However, as there remains only about one twenty-fifth of the men in the army yet to be demobilized, and the "Y" has not sufficient funds on hand to keep Mr. Rayle. in his same capacity, it will be impossible to keep him.

Cool Weather Has Not

Hurt Crops of County

Cool weather of the last few days

has not hurt Wayne crops any, said

farmers Saturday. The corn crop Is

comparatively safe, except from frost, and fruit would not be injured even by

frost, they said.

A heavy frost, before the middle of

September, would however, ruin the vegetables before they had finished

their full yield. The cool spell, how

ever. Is expected to be followed by warm weather.

to give other court officials a rest. But John maintains that he knows

enough to fill those other four days,

and that the stories will last just that much longer.

WAYNE SPUD CROP TO BE VERY SHORT

Potatoes in Wayne county will only average about half the usual crop this year and the early potatoes only amounted to about one-fourth of the average crop. Late potatoes will be a little better and it is thought that the total will reach the half way mark, says Walter Ratliff. Early potatoes require moisture and this spring when they were maturing a hot, dry spell caused them to run to vines, and stopped the growth of the tubers. Farmers say that the potatoes they have are large, and mealey potatoes but there are only a very few to the hill. Of course this shortage of potatoes will cause the price of potatoes this winter to be high. Northwestern Indiana which is a large potato growing section, also reports a short crop.
