PREDICTED BY WILSON

vival of Trades.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., June 11.—*
“Menless jobk instead of job
less men in trie immediate fu
ture”, was predicted by Secre

bumper wheat crop, the revival
of the iron trade, the subse
quent stimulation of mining,
and other associated industries
and the continued activity of
the textile business are the rea
sons given for prophesying
prosperity and lots of work.
Requests for more than eighty
thousand men to harvest the
Lumper crops have been re
ceived and how to get them
west is the problem. The Sec
retary is planning to negotiate
with the railroads for a special
excursion to the wheat belt.
