WASHINGTON, June 21. There Is
a little chart In the department ol
agriculture with two lines on It that
are almost parallel. They represent
wages paid to labor and the Income
of the dairy farmer.
Generally speaking, farm Income
and wages march side by side, too.
But when you try to chart the
lines along which agriculture and
labor are marching these days toward
ft mutually abundant life, they are
anything but parallel.
Canvassing the leading farm or
ga&tattons In Washington, three

t the labor .situation:
1, The fact tbt sdmlnlatratlon
roses have all beenplnned on la
bor's hat recently.
9. The fear that more strikes will
moan less butter and eggs and other
farm products purchased.
. - S. The farmer (at least some of
them) has acquired a little pros
perity, which has, In some esses,
created a labor problem for htm.
The result of these "annoyance"
is that the national grange (which
alt at the extreme right of the farm
organizations) has urged upon con
gress that It leave the wages and
hours bill to another session. If any.
to be voted upon.
The Grangers are Impelled by the
fear that It will drive up wages,
hence prices of farm Implements and
other products- which the farmer
consumes.
i Carrying on their campatgn to
postpone action by tying up the
measure with the unpopular court
bill, which they have done from the
first, the grange Invited Senator
Wheeler of Montana to speak on the
subject on Its hour on the radio.
5 But the folks who are said to be
getting further away from the propo
sition for regulating wages and hours
are the ones who are nearest the
wage-earners on the depsrtment of

MP) The successful flight of three
Russian airmen across the top of
the world to North America from

He revealed Incidentally thst the
filers probably would remain in the
United Ststes a month before re
turning to Moscow.
"Our flers want to see something
of this country." said the ambassa
dor. 'They desire to look at plants
snd American facilities. I think they
will remain In the United states
about one month. .
"From San Francisco they will go
es.it to Washington.
"It Is the desire of our govern
ment to have many flight of tnls
nature but I do not know when they
will take ploce. This flight demon
stratee such trips are practical. This
trip la the first of It kind and will
be used as a basis for further exper
iments. "These fliers are among our most
outstanding aviators and are familiar
with non-stop trips of this nature,
baring made particularly long flights
to the eastern section of our country.
They hold the official title of hercee
of t!i Soviet Union.
"The ship probably will be reas
sembled at Moscow and used again.
"The flight Is Important for scien
tific purpoie snd the condition of
the plsne will ahow what must be

this will not be determined until a
