that the average acreage of corn, on

great possibilities, as the yield can
be increased more easily than that Of
any other crop.
Recent studies on the cost of corn

WAGE REDUCTIONS OPPOSED

Nashville, Tenn.-The Trades and
Labor Council makes objection to the
economy plan in city affairs OF reducing
workers wages.
The city has commission form of
government and some of the methods
employed by certain officials have been
found to be irregular. PrObers discov-
cred waste and extravaganza, and this
resulted in condemnation OF city Of
metals for paying minimum wages to
laborers when, it was asserted, labor
could be obtained in competition at
lower wages, 81 and $1.25 per day be-
ing mentioned. 1t was further claimed
that negroes could be obtained in imta-
ton OF private corporations at lower
wages than paid white men.
Against this theory the unionsts enter
protest and pass the following resolu-
ton:
This council, with all earnestness.
protests that it is not in accord with the
spirit Of the times that labor he held to
the lowest possible compensation,
whether it be white or black; that it is
not in keeping with good government
that any class OF citizens be oppressed,
for governments exist by right OF the
people and for the good OF all the peo-
pie; that oppression of labor does not
serve the ends of good government
I'VE do not grant that decent wages
tor honest labor is waste or eXtrava-
gance; that while we condemn in every
sense all dishonesty, graft and unfaith-
fulness in public Office, we likewise con
demn any sentiment for, or effort to
save money for one class better able to
bear it at the expense of those who are
at the mercy OF the employer, whether it
be government or private concern: that
we do not believe that public sentiment
Will confuse the issues, nor indorse any
effort or tendency to make labor suffer
for the wrongdoing OF individuals, under
condition for which the people to an
extent must hold themselves respon-
sible"

and gloriiies idleness, glitter and lace
rather than social service and worth.
Labor iavors preparedness. and as
the first step in that direction we de-
mand that the killing OF Americas best
manhood i'll the shops, mills and mines
OF our country are stopped. We stand
aghast at the corpsc-strewn battlchelds
OF Europe, but let us not forget that
10000 OF our cllow-corntrymcn en-
gagged III ganful occupations are killed
every year. Men talk about prepared
ness, but never a word OF protest at the
annual loss OF these thirty regiments
that are silently swept into unknown
graves that dividends may continue
More than this, every year there are
100000 wealth producers injured, and
this only includes those whose injuries
extend over period of four weeks
And no record is made of the thou
sands whose systems are weakened

How can men ignore conditions that
spell RUIN for any nation and imagine
that labor will believe their claims that
dangers threaten rs from without?
Labor believes in preparedness. We
demand that the annual killing Of these
10000 industrial workers cease, and we
further demand that the thrcc-q quarters
OF million wagecarncrs annually in
lurcd be given that protection their use

ROCKEFELLER REDUCES HOURS

New York,-Nlr Rockefeller. phil
anthropist and bencfactor, announces a
reduction OF working hours from ten to
eight in his refncricS at Bayonnc, n. j.,
and elsewhere. The announcement
says:
In accordance with the policies Of
this company To keep its wages and
working conditions equal to, or in ad-
vance OF, the wages and working con
dtions OF other men doing a similar
class Of work, it has been decided to
adopt the cight-hour day. This change
will be made without loss to the men. "
This decision is received with much
pleasure by Bayonnc workers, who now
agree with trade unionistS that mo
strike was ever lost"
The decision benefits MIR. Rockefeller,
also, as it will weaken contrary claims
as to his company'S policies at Bayonne
made by the Commission ON Industrial
Relations, and it will check any agitation
toward further investigation of the bad
conditions under which his oil refinery
workers labor.

TOO MUCH WASTE LAND.

Boston, Mass.-At a hearing before
the special taxation commission State
Forester Rane expressed the opinion
that much unused land in the State
could be brought to cultivation by in
creasing the assessment valuation and
compelling the owners to develop it for
their own protection or to sell to Others
who would.
Mr.. Ranc said there is now in Massa-
chusctts 1,000,000 acres OF waste land,
the greater proportion of which, he be
lieves, could be improved by such a
step. In cases where the owners re-
fused to pay taxes and the land was
not OF sufficient value to justify town
tax proceedings, provision could be
made to have it taken over by the State
for forestry development.

COMMISSIONS REPORT
SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED

Racine, Wis.-"Get busy with your
congressman is the advice OF the Ra-
cine Call in urging the widest publicity

The same interests that tried to pre-
vent publication OF the Manly report to
the Commission on Industrial Relations
may be depended upon to try TO block
its distribution. 1t, therefore, be-
hoovcS voters To be prompt and early in
asking their congressman for copies.
Nor should they let themselves be put
off with the reply that the supply has
been exhausted. Let Congress spend
less Tor documents that nobody reads
or cares ior, and more to print SUI
hcient supply of report like this, which
VIII be Tor years to come valuable
reference work.
Not only should wide circulation be
given the Manly report, but its recon-
mcndatlons should not be allowed to
quietly slumbcr The putocratic press
Is already at work trying to arouse
prejudice against 1t while studiously re
training from any fair discussion of its
contents. The aim and hope OF the pre-
datory interests is that Congress will
contcmptuously disregard it. SO it is
mp 10 labor organizations, farmers or
CARNATIONS, organizations OF useful
business men and public-sprtcd cti-

busy at once and insist ON immediate
enactment OF legislation by Congress in

OF the Commission ON Industrial Rcla-
