BOY SCOUTS MADE
FOR THE
RICHMOND, Va., July 20.—Plans
to help harvest the potato crop in
this state by the use of boy scouts
received a setback here today when
nearly 1,000 boys, who had already
been sent to the rural districts,
were ordered back to their hoves,
and an investigation started. It Is
said that the trouble originated be
cause the boys were paid only '15
cents a barrel, while Negroes have
been paid 20 and 25 cents for the
same amount. A personal repre
sentative of Major-General Eell is
investigating the affair.
Although the harvest work was
not by any means completed, the
truckers, through a producers’ or
ganization rf which they are all
members, circulated the order to
quit, scout officials say. No reason
was given by the truckers, but it
was judged to be the congestion ni
the big potatoe markets, and the
drop of $3 a barrel in price.
CASHIER ARRESTED.
SEATTLE, July 24.—E. C.
Gough assistant cashier of the Union
Savings Bank was today arrested or,
account of shcrtage of seventeen
thousand dollars in his accounts.
The cashier says that he falsified
his books in order to protect the
higher up officials in the bank. His
story is not believed. It is stated
that the man is known to have
plunged extensively in war secur
ities of a doubtful nature and that
he was victimized by a good many
of the get rich quick companies
that took advantage of the craze
for war babies for the past several
months.
The man refused to say v. ho were
the higher-ups he wished to pro
tect. * -*■#

Scout officials were inclined to
blame the interruption of ‘worV
alone for the withdrawal, saying
that there was no ill treatment.
but only temporary hardship, due
to inadequate preparation for thj
boys’ reception.
Mayor Allen Potts of the Virginia
national guard carried on the in
vestigation for General Bell, and
the order of withdrawal was given
after he had conferred with John
Steward Bryan, president of the
Richmond Scout council. Bryan
made a statement that truckmen
were paying Negroes 20 and 25
cents a barrel for picking potatoes,
although the boy scouts were gett
ing only 15 cents. The expenses
of the expedition, officials said,
amounted to $1,500. The wages
totalled $496.
“Doubtless the farmers of the
Eastern shore spoke in good faith,’
said Bryan, “when they announced
that boys could readily earn from j
$2.50 to $3 a day. Perhaps they
can, but the farmers’ own child- j
ren do not attempt it for them- j
selves and they don’t have to, for
two counties are raising 4,000,000 ■
barrels of potatoes and selling
them at $9 a barrel. It is the East
ern shore farmer and not the city
dweller who is the plutocrat to
day.”
