Decreased Product Reported By Sev
eral Members of Congress.
Washington, April 18. Alarming
reports of decrei sesd fooa produc
tion due to scarcity of farm labor
have been made by renators and
r.embers of the House who have re
cently returned to the capital. The
repo:ts have sent to Secretary Mer
edith cf the Department of Agri
culture. Sen. tor Ellison D. Smith of South
Carolina, who is Just back from a
trip through the South, predicts
the countiy will scon be faoe to face
with the most serious food famine
!u history. Thousands of acres hith
erto given over to the production of
foodstuffs are lying idle and un
furrowed in the States be visited.
Simii?.r reports have been made
by Senator Capper of Kansan and
senators from others of the great
food producing States. -
Senator Smith declares that while
the amount of farm labor last year
was 84 per cent of the normal, this
year it is only 72 per ceni of normal
,nd il . of an age and character
Which are conducive to the highest
productivity.
The only remedy, in Senator
Smith's opinion, is for the manufac
turers of articles not classed as ne
cessities, ti suspend operations for a
time and permit the labor to go back
to the farms. He has found that
out of thousands of farm boys who
went into the military service dur
ing the war, only a small percentage
have gone back to agriculture la
bor; the bulk of them hahve found
in the cities work which Is more
attractive and more remunerative.
If work of this kind could be dropped
for a short period Senator Smith
believes many of the farm boys
would go back to the couatry.
Senator Smith intends to address
the Senate on the subject some day
this week.

The Depot Suit.
The N., C. & St. L. and the M. &
O. R. R. companies have filed here
in the Circuit Court a suit for dam
ages against the city jt Union City
for $69,000 altogether, setting out
in substance the following claims,
which have been filed with the at
torneys: t ' '
First that no union passenger
depot ample and suitable and at all
practical can be built in Union City
except on the site where the present
depot stands.
Second, that two depots are im
practical and unnecessarily expen
sive. Third, that the city of Union City
is repudiating its agreement made
a few weeks ago with officials of the
two roads, which they claim was to
defer the building of a union depot
for four years and then to build on
the present site with an open street
deflected down towards the express
office.
These are the principal grounds of
argument to be presented to the jury
when the case is called to be heard,
and the court will call the case in
May next.
Just how the railroads expect to
establish a contract or agreement
between the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen and the officials, of the
two roads is hard to understand,
when the board had not met in its
official capacity and when no regu
lar meeting had been held. Tihe
members of the same will refute the
claim of such an agreement.
The other points will be contested
by the fact3 in the case fully pre
pared and ably presented.
