Wilson, chief state seed analyst, urges tn a statement. "In making Inspection trips recently to observe the condition of weeds In this state," Mr. Wilson said, "I find that, owing to the advanced growing season, which is fully two, weeks earlier than usual, many weeds are producing seed. Therefore the plants should be cut to prevent the maturing of the seed. Many weeds with large stems will have enough food stored up to ripen seeds even if the cutting is done while th£ plant Is still green. To accomplish the best results, weeds should be cut as often as possible, thus preventing the production of any seed at all."

The department expresses Its strong and unqualified disapproval of your conduct in having again delivered- a highly Improper speech In a foreign country and you are hereby publicly reprimanded." « The admiral called at the White House and spent five minutes with President Harding. He explained that It was "only a courtesy call." Asked to comment on the action of Secretary Denby, the admiral said: "Having spilled the beans, I got what was coming to me.

Denver, Colo., June 28. -- Samuel tiompers, veteran American labor leader, was re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor, defeating John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, by 2 to 1. The vote was: Gompers, 25,02$; Lewis, 13,324. There were tears Ip' Gompers' eyes as he rose to thank the delegates. "I can't begin to tell you how gratified I am at the result of this election," he declared. "This is ttfr first time in my official career in the labor movement that I have expressed self in such language. "For, as a matter of fact, whatever honor has come to me, whatever confidence has been placed in ine, I have interpreted it as a call to doty. It )• little gratification to me to have d* feated Delegate Lewis." The labor leader said, however, he was glad "Hearst cannot control the American Federation of Labor." "I will speak out for the demands that labor makes for its services, without which society would come to a standstill," Gompers added. 'I wLll not speak In a minor key, no matter if it be to presidents, cabinet officers, senators or even to dally newspapers. I will try to speak, and, come what may, I will take the consequences. I prefer the characteristic of boldness to any other. MI will now do what I felt Uke doing rather than speaking; I will call this convention to order." This is the first time that Goiflpers has been seriously opposed since 1894, when he was defeated by John Mc- Bride, a mine worker, at a convention in this city, but he was returned to office the following year. 's * Lewis was applauded when lWJ replied : ~ I accept the verdict of the American Federation -of Labor without the slightest tinge of enmity in my mind. 'I am a good deal like the young man who told his mother he had been called to preach. The old mother asked him If he was not sure it was not some other noise he had heard. "I had had the dream of becoming president of this great organization, an aspiration which any member of the organization is entitled to. And I want- to say here that I have used no dishonorable methods in my efforts to realize my aspiration. I respect the opinion of those who opposed me and I tender my slncerest thanks to those persons who supported me." Lewis denied that he had been the candidate of Hearst. Gompers had been placed in nomination by George W, Perkins, a Chicago cigarmaker, and Lewis by William Green, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers. Most of the union delegates split their votes that course being followed by the miners and Lewis getting only the solid delegation of the machinists. The election of vice presidents resulted as follows: First, James Duncan of Qulncy, Mass.; second, Joseph F. Valentine, Cincinnati, O.; third, Frank Duffy of the carpenters; fourth, William Green of the United Mine Workers; fifth, W. D. Mahon of the Street Railway Employees; sixth, Thomas A. ltickers, Garment Workers; seventh, Jacob Fisher of Indianapolis; eighth, Matthew Woll of Chicago. Daniel J. Tobin of Indianapolis was re-elected treasurer and Frank Morrison of Chicago was re-elected secretary. After the close of the convention Mr. Gompers said: "Neither the Hearsts nor the Garys can chart our course or select our leaders. "Our movement Is united. It Is prepared to be aggressive in defense of the rights of the tollers. It will not be swerved from its course. It will be a sad day for the aspirations of the working people of our land when corrupt and intriguing interests can either divide our movement, change our course or destroy its leadership. The vote today has demonstrated to the world that we have not yet come upon that day. "The whole work of the convention, the resolutions and declarations adopted, the policies^ indicated, mean for the future a united, progressive, militant movement, following upon a progressive, fruitful and militant P®SL?

Whe nthe reduction order was ia^ •. sued, it was estimated that, if applied#*; to all employees on all class 1 roads, | It would lop approximately $400,000j» . | 000 from the country's railroad labo| | bill. The new decision will make this | cut possible, by ordering reduced; J wages for employee^ not Included la j the original case. Immediately following the announce* ment of the board's wage cut on June 1, roads from every section of th^ country poured In their applications to the labor board for authority t# make similar reductions. A hearing ret for June 6 Included a total of 164 ' ^ roads and In the next two weeks 61^ j more submissions were made and in01 : eluded in a hearing for June 20. A ; few roads which had not Included all classes of employees In their first pe*?* ' f tltlons for • reductions came in witlj^ the remaining classes in the last hear* tag. . ' -. Many of thp roads which asked re«v ductlons for only a part of their eh*- ployees at the original hearing in May came back with applications to covet" all employees In these two later heart ings. Virtually every railroad in th* country affected by the labor board's,; $600,000,000 wage award of July, 1920^ was included In one or more of thf three hearings. Following the 12 per cent reduc# ; tion, which was generally (msatisfac*. j tory to the roads, the carriers returnedt/'nT to the board with added insistenc# /j that the 1920 wage award be wipe<fe, ;? out. The board, however, was not in-,;..,, clined to change Its scale of reduo* . tions determined In the June 1 ded#' *i sion and merely added to that decisloijp^ J employees Involved In the subsequent^ hearings. ; • t ' j At the two June hearings the roads,; • for the most part, contented tfiem" , 1 selves with reiterating the evidenc# ,5 presented In May. Their argument# >' consisted chiefly of cost-of-living star**:. "Jj tlstlcs and comparison of railroads • wages with those in outside indu^®! tries. The employees took up otheil' factors laid down by the transports- . < tion act to be considered In the deter* mination of just and reasonable wages* ." Hazards of employment, the living - wage and similar lines of evidences . were introduced in an effort to pre^ > vent any cut In wages. While no definite returns have been announced from the referendum being taken by all the railway unions on - acceptance or rejection of ^he 12 P«f- | cent cut, It was expected that confer* ences here on July 1 would agree t» accept the board's decision without , any Interruption of traffic.
