Railroads to Aid Wheat Labor Movement in Kansas
A nationwide rail network plans to assist moving farm labor to Kansas wheat fields during harvest. The Director General of Railroads says a one cent per mile rate was rejected as impracticable, but cooperation includes possible special trains and movement from Chicago or St. Louis at normal fare with guarantees. A Topeka liaison will contact Gov. Allen to arrange details. Mr. Charlie Floyd hosts dinner with R. W. Simpson and Surprise Store employees and Miss Aanamae Braly.
