TO ASK CONGRESS FOR HELP
Senator Hitchcock Wants To Use
$60,000,000 Profits Of Reserve Sys¬
tem For Farm Relief
Washington.—The plight of farmers
due to falling prices was taken to
congress.
Agricultural committees of the sen¬
ate and house in joint session began
hearings on conditions brought about
by falling prices preliminary to de¬
vising relief measures. They decid¬
ed to ask Secretary Houston and Gov¬
ernor Harding of the federal reservo
board to come before them after Eu¬
gene Meyer, Jr., former head of the
war finance corporation had declared
that rehabilitation of that body would
go a long step towards finishing the
desired relief by financing exports of
surplus crops.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska told
the conference he planned to intro¬
duce measures making available the
profits of (he federal reserve banks,
amounting to about sixty million dol
lars for loans to agricultural inter¬
ests.
The money which Senator Hitch
cock would have advanced to the
farmers is tlie governments’ share in
profit of the federal reserve hanks
payable next month and which, under
(he law, would be used to increase
gold reserves or amortize liberty
bonds.
Loans would be made through (he
federal land bunks or chattel mort¬
gages or warehouse receipts with ag¬
ricultural products or live stock as
security. Loans on grain would be
limited to six months and those on
live stock to one year.
‘This would be only a drop in the
bucket toward meeting the enormous
needs of agriculturists,” said Sena¬
tor Hitchcock, but it would have a
good effect beyond the actual amount
of money made available.”
Governor Harding with whom the
Nebraska senator conferred issued a
statement saying that neither he nor
the board had taken any stand on the
proposition, He declared he had crit
icised Senator Hitchcock’s plan, but
that the matter was one not within
the province of the hoard as it con¬
cerns the use of funds which the law
required should be paid into the treas
urv.
Legislation extending a billion dol¬
lar credit to Germany was advocated
before the joint committee by J. J.
Brauer of New York, who claimed to
represent the German government,
while Sentaor Smoot of Utah an
nounced he would propose an emiiar
go on imports of wool for relief of
American wool growers in a bill he
will offer.
Representative Campbell of Kansas
suggested that profits of the grain
corporation, about one hundred mil¬
lion dollars, be made available for
loans to farmers.
Troops are Ordered to Mines.
Haleyville, Ala.—State troops have
been ordered to the mines of the Glen i
Mary Coal company at Glen Mary, j
five miles south of Haleyville, follow
ing the blowing up of the hoisting ma¬
chinery at. the mines this morning and

after destruction of machinery on a
charge of arson, The mines have
been closed for a week on account of
a strike which has been tn force for
that lenght of time.
15 Cases of Liguor Suspended in Air.
Mobile, Ala.—One of the most spec- •
tacular liquor raids yet recorded in
<
the state of Alabama was staged when
Sheriff W. H. Holcombe, Jr., assisted
by a force of deputies, boarded a
steamship and confiscated fifteen cas
.
es of bonded whisky . Sheriff Hoi
combe and his men by the aid of
searchlights detected a straw sticking
out near the top of the mast. Depu
Ues clim i, e d to the top and discover
ed the caseB suspended by ropes. i
