TUESDAY EVENING, MAY'8, 1921 U. 5. CHARITY SAVES MILLIONS IN FAMINE By Charles Edward Hogue (United Press Staff Correspondent) Shanghal. - (By Mail).—Famine conditions which have threatened 40,000,000 lives in Northern China and have ben aggrevated by typhus and other, virulent diseases are be- ing combatted today in such a syste- matic manner ‘that ‘it appears likely a major proportion of the population will be saved. The fate of the suf- fering millfons depends on the con- tinued financial support of America and China. ' Highway construction on a greater scale than has ever before been known in China has been undentaken in Shantung, Shansi and Chili pro- vinces, under ithe direction of -the American Red Cross. As a result of this movement millions of starving families have been enabled to win a livelihood, while promoting the fu- ture betterment of the stricken dis- tricts, & Already there has been completed a great highway from Teh Chow, in Shantung, to Kwan Mao and this road is to be extended eastward to Han Tan, where it will Teach ‘the Grand Canal, China's ancient inland waterway. ‘Similar plans are under way for’Shansi and Chili' provinces. Methods employed by the relief workers to obtain the best results for the benefit of the suffering populace have been carefully considered. Workmen are chosén’from the fam- ilies in greatest distress and are paid' in grain in quantities sufficient to maintain the strength of the laborers and their families.” fans Peking Union Medical college diet- itians have given their advice as to the amount food necessary. to maintain the rers and eve{y pre- caution has De avoid ‘waste. : > ‘Transportation of focd supplies to the people living from 50 to 100 miles in the inti est rail connectton has proved a.se-| ‘vére probleém, but:is being-solved by | ‘the use of 'battalons of wheelbar- Tow coolies. Hundreds of these cool- _ies with their squeaking barrows are ‘daily trudging along the paths from Tail to villages, bearing foodstuffs. Present indications are that the first harvest will be reaped. about June 20. Then the crisis will' have been passed unless the elements de- cree otherwise. In the meantime| millions of dollars must be forthcom- ing to save millions of lives. MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE IMPROVES COUNTY AGENT AND FARM BUREAU LAW Reviewing the ‘work of the recent Minneosta legislature as it directly affects county farm: bureaus and coun ty agents, F. . Balmer of University | Farm, state leader of county agents, £ays that House File No. 260, which beczme a law, is:calculated to im- prove and' increase farm bureau ac- tivities from the fact that it permits ‘the state ito. apply $2,000 annually, instead of $1,000 as iformerly, in large counties which have a real need for two or more county agents in or- der that the_ territory may be ade- quately served: 'No more than $1,- 000 of state money- can .be applied to any one agent in a given county. “More than one agricultural agent or at least an asgistant agent,” says Mr. Balmer, “should be employed in | such large counties as St. Louis, Itas- ca, Aitkin, Beltrami, Marshall, Polk, Ottertail, Stearns, and some, others. The ,changes in.the law also make possible more adeguate financing. where it is desired to. employ a home demonstration agent “or a county | 1 I | | { | | club leader in addition to a couhty | agent.” | . - Mr. Balmer further reports that ‘the law permits counties to appro-; priate annually,up to $5,000, instead | of $3,0000 as formerly, for county agent work. ~Counties having more | than 150 congressional townships| may appropriate not to $25,000.. This applies only to one county—St. | Louis. $ As to finances in support of coun ity extension ‘employees, the legisla- ture appropriated $1,000 to each of | the counties now cooperating in the ! work or & total of $84,000. Only two | (38 counties in the. state, Grand and Douglas, are doing no county agent or farm ‘bureau work. g A $10,000 ‘increase was granted in | support of agricultural extension work, and it ig likely, says Mr. Bal- mer that -this will. make possible a slight increase in federal aid Peing extended .to.counties. . Regret i8 ex- pressed by the state leader that the appropriation in behalf of farmers’ institutes was cut from $20,000, as it hag been for geveral years to $10,- 000. : % Another new law, House File No. 259, provides a simpler procedure than has been:known in the past for amending articles of - incorporation by county fafm bureaus. -Still an- other new act provides a method for, accounting expenses and receipts of farm operations, and imposes certain |’ powers and duties upon the commis- sione; of agriculture and the county. agent. This makes it mandatory up- on the county agent to make a sur-| vey among at ledst 10 to 25 farm- ers as to the costs of producing va- rious farm products, the amount re- ceived from thém, the average pro- fit, etc. The county agent is expect- ed to, compile all data secured and to forward them to the commissioner ofa griculture, ‘who is empowered to give out information and reports which will be of use to persons in- terested in agricultural pursuits. The legislature increased the amount of state aid for county poul- try associations for the mnext two years from $30,000 to $40,000.

McCardle in which he says “Abandon the railway labor board and allow the Esch-Cummins and the Adamson Laws to function properly and the railroads will operate on ‘; paying basis.” I would like to take issue with Mr. McCardle and endeavor through the col- umns of your paper to prove to the people of Bemidji that Mr. McCardle has misrepresented the true facts of the present railroad situation. First, Mr. McCardle says, “Do away with the labor board, and allow the Esch-Cummins and Adamson Law. to function properly.” . The Esch- Three members to be from managerial group, three from the labor group and three from the public. The duties of: this board are to hear and decide any and all disputes involving grievances, rules or working conditions that the employers and employees are-unable to adjust. The salaries of each of the members of the labor board is $10,000 per annum, paid by the United States, (see Section 306, par. “B,” page 39, H. R, 10453). Now, how can the lahor board be abandoned when it is a part of the Esch-Cummins law, and in the ‘belief of the employee, one of the most important parts for the labor board insures labor receiving at least a hearing and assures him the right. of representation. Mr. McCardle would -have the public believe that the labor board is an unnecessaty-factor in'the.operation of railroads. The labor board has done this: It has put an’ end to unauthorized strikes, which fact above proves the value of the board to both sides—labor and manage- ment. The law provides, that before either a strike or lockout can be-‘ called, the dispute must be placed before the board for decision, The labor | |life. | broke simply because they must go before the board with every controversy that comes between the employee and the employer.” - I presume Mr. Mc. i Cardle is of the opinion that it is a crime for the employer to have to sub- to hear and decide such disputes, and whose duty is in part to keep the rail- roads of our country functioning as they should. 5 He would also leave the thought.that these disputes cause a loss earnings to the railway companies, which is NOT a fact. To quote Mr. men in charge told me that they have cars on side tracks that last year were | good grain cars and now they are unfit for grain merely because the roads| have not enough money to keep them in go¢d repair.” It is only to be sup- | posed that a car or any other piece of equipment will become “bad order” unless kept in repair, and I do not believe that the railways have not enough money. to repair thgir cars, for surely the car while in service earned enough to pay for its repairs, and if so, how can anyone expect to give service un- less they 'keep their equipment in serviceable condition? i Where is the money going? In answer to this question, I will cite you to admisgion of the truth by Mr. Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, wherein Mr. Rea admits that through the cost plus contracts be- tween the Pennsylvania railway and the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the repair of 200 locomotives, the Pennsylvania Railway paid the Baldwin company $3,500,000 more than it would have cost to have repaired the 200 | Jocomotives in the Pennsylvania Railway’s shops.

The Esch-Cummins: bill provided $50,000 out of any money in the United States treasury not otherwise appropriated, or so much thereof as was. nec- essary for the maintenance and operation oil the labor board, (see Section 314, page 48, H.
