Undesirable* Find Work Hard

Topeka. Kan.. Sept. '1.—Reference* •
may vxln he required of applicant* for
farm work in Karsa*. The Kansas j
farmer* are becoming suspicious be-.
cause of the propaganda jf the Non- |
partisan league, the I. W. W. and the |
radical Labor-Socialist groups, and i
nre looking over their prospective em-!
ployees with considerable care.
W. F. Wilkerson. clerk of the Indus
trial Court, has found numerous cases
where farmers had refused to hlrs
men who were not able to explain just
what they had been doing for the past
few months, or who failed to give
prompt and satisfactory answers to
some questions about their social, Eco
nomic and political beliefs.
"There are a few radicals among
the fanners, and they make more
noise than the others," said Mr. Wil
kerson. "Most of the farmers are
not radical, and they do not care to
have agitators around their farms.
The fanners want to see a quick re
adjustment of conditions, but most of
them feel that this can be accom
plished without the overthrow of tha
government."
There is very little idle Labor in
Kansas just now. Most of this is un
suitable to farm work and is waiting
for the railroads to reopen their shop*.
The railroads are opening np their
shopa to some extent and taking a
good many hundred men back. The
shopa have been idle or partially
closed most of tha summer, hot It la
asserted by railroad men that tha
shops will be operated at full capacity
throughout tha fall and most of tha
winter.
