FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL.
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation Of the
United States Commission of Indus
trial Relations brought together the,
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives Of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over CULTS OF
misunderstanding and If the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, 1t will render the
public distinct service. |
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight,
for many years and incidentally furn-
ishing the sinews of war and 1t is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes.
the world better and far more salts,

bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
no authority quite SO commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite SO binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite 80
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals Of discomfort.
But Understanding is Prince Of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.
A mans income is always sacred
thing for in 1t are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam
lily, but there is nothing in human
heart quite SO divine as Justice and
! Understanding Is its handmaiden.

THE BATTLE OF
The TIRES

Agricultural and Commercial Press Serviccfl
1t Is interesting to watch the forces
or civilization battling for supremacy.
Inc struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest Of the Twen-
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fiict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
Ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim-
now pitched decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting mill
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result Of the
struggle depends the future Of the
rubber tire. If 1t is compelled to re-
treat, its doom is sealed, but IL 1t wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.l
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic it's next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economicl
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the un-l
disputed master in transportation, and
| is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.

to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1859
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands Of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-fve
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power Of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch OF
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov
cry.
The rubber tire first made its ap
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always beer
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
, chine and its reputation is not one II
inspire confidence in heavy trafn,
performance.
, But to those who care to watt int,
, dreamland, it is enchanting to not,
that there will be a marvellous differ
ence between rubber and an irol
age. The rubber tire will scatter tn
cities throughout the valleys for witt

! why a city? 1t will traverse the cor
tinent with net work of Macadan
highways as beautiful as the boule

furnish Bill Week with new material.
Such plays aren't expected from Lie
bold.
But there should never have been
an opportunity Tor, Lebold to make
his intellectual slip. He shouldn't
have been in the game at all. He got
there by a piece of managerial judg-
ment that didn't work right. Of
course, Rowland is at disadvantage,
as we second gUessers always are in
the best position to decide what
should have been done, but there are
a few facts to back up the bleacher
advisory board this time.
1t occurred in the 18th inning. The
bases were loaded with one out and
Washington was a run to the good.
Pete Johns, the new third baseman,
was up. He had knocked a pair OF
singles and Hap Felsch had done the
same. Just remember that about
Felsch when reading the rest of this
if you read it.
Rowland removed Johns for Lie
bold. Right there was the first thing
that went wrong. LiebOld hit to short
and a double play would have resulted
if Mcbride hadn't fumbled. But a
run scored and Memo was tossed out.
The next fellow was soft.
Removing Johns was notice to the
newcomer that the manager didn't
depend on him in pinch. That is a
poor way to give a player confidence,
especially one who has been doing
things as well as Johns has since be-
coming a member of the White Sox
Of course, it may be argued that
Johns was a bUsher. But out on the
South Side this season there has
been considerable pride over the
bUsher regime. What's a game or so
compared to the development of a
player of ability. Especially when
there is no certainty that shift will
win victory.

ting left-handed, than the right
handed Felsch. But Tight-handers
haven't bothered Hap this season any
more than soUthpaws.
At any rate, the shift didn't work. =.
If it had no one would have paid
much attention to RowIand's move,
but it still wouldn't have been much
of an exhibition of faith in Johns.
The 14-inning game made four
consecutive eXtra-inning games the
SOX have played in as many days,
two being won and two lost. Fifty
one innings were played in the four
days. Russell pitched fine ball, but
errors by Jackson, a slow fielding
play by BlackbUTne and LiebOld's
gummy thoughts were too big han
dicap.
A fine chance was passed up in this
series. Even though Boston and De-
troit were playing each other, the SOx
lost ground to the Red Sox and mere
ly managed to hold even pace with
the Tigers.
Pitcher Frank Davis of the Column
bus team and Infielders Terry and
McMuIIen of Los Angeles have been
bought by the White Sox. Davis re-
ports at once. The other pair will
not arrive until spring.
Maybe the Whales can find some
of their lost art on the road. All sea-
son the club has been a better team
when away from home, and recent
performances have been true to form.
st. Louis smashed the Whales when
they were well on the way to the top,
and of the three games lost, two
would have been Whale victories with
the exhibition of some real baseball

The neigh of a horse made Darius

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
! AGRICULTURE
By Peter Radford.

There, is no escaping the "market
problem. and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent s1S0,000,O0O In the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp OF
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom Of the age
upon it. It is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
Of the other We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help US,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production' of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
Ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can We develop agricul.
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

FREE PORTS !
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRlATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot.
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to q
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
vharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
fl are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The SiXty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000,.
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $5O,OOO,0Oo
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted on
the backs Of the farmer OF this ma
tion and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. mo movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of free port
and none can be more easily and ef-
fectively secured.
