According to H. N. Pope, president or
the Association Of Farmers Union
Presidents. he has inaugurated move
ment looking to concerted effort by the
farmers of the country to procure the
repeal of the Adamson wage increase
bill Mr.. Pope, whose home Is in Fort
Worth. Texas. opposes the increase Of
wages which President Wilson pro-
cured for the members Of the railway
brotherhoods on the ground that ''the
farmer will pay the freight" He is con-
WINGED that a powerful and effective
movement has been started which will
compel Congress, at the behest of the
farmers of the country, to repeal the
wilson Adamson bill.
1.-THE defenders Of the Adamson bill
have had much to say about emanci-
pating labor. says Mr.. Pope. but how
about enslaving the farmer? If giving
to trainmen is a virtue, IL not taking
from farmers a crime? Has Congress
the power to increase the expenses OF
industry many millions of dollars with
out someone paying the bill? II so.
then Congress should Immediately as
semble and legislate all the people into

Hapgeod's False Charge Exposed.

Norman Hapgood. who has as great
. reputation for political sense as
Woodrow Wilson has for courage, has
been the occasion Of disclosing to an
interested public the violent efforts
made by Mr.. Wilson's campaign man
ayers to secure support from German
Americans. Hapgood. who Is head Of
the Woodrow Wilson independence
League. charged that Mr.. Ridder, one
Of the owners and editors Of the
Stats zeituns, had written a part of
one Of Mr.. Hughes speeches. and
quoted state Senator Kent v. Kellor
Of Illinois a. his authority.
To the charge Mr.. Ridder has re-
piled, saying Hapgood's charge is
wholly false and that he (Ridder) now
feels 1T liberty to reveal interviews he
had hitherto treated as confidential,
interviews which consisted Of frantic
appeals to Mr.. Ridder. his brother and
others. from Kellor. Postmaster Gen.
stone u Missouri and other Wilson
managers to get "ths German vote" for
M. Wilson.
Mr.. Ridder describes an all-night
conference between certain prominent
New York Germans and representa-
dives Of President Wilson at which it
was plainly indicated that any appar-
ent opposition by Mr.. Wilson toward
Germany vas wholly for ''home con-
sumption" and assurances were given
that in his heart Mr.. Wilson was en-
tirely friendly to Germany and that he
would show that friendship in all vital
matters. Postmaster General Burleson
later came 10 New York and had an in
tsrview Of the same character with
george Sylvester veireck. editor of The

Claude kitehin Scared.

Claude Kitchin, Democratic leader of
the House, has become alarmed by the
opposition Of farmers and shippers
generally to the Adamson bill and has
announced publicly that he will en-
deavor to prevent President Wilson's
promise to the railroads of increased
freight rates to Offset the increased
wages they are compelled to pay by
the Adamson bill. Mr.. Kitchin as
snmes to speak for the House. which
means, of course, the Democratic ma
jority who chose him their leader
When Congress convenes in Decem-
ber," says Mr.. Kitchin, 1.-The House of
Representatives will oppose any sug-
gestion from the railroads of the coun-
try to increase freight rates to counter
act the Shour Adamson BILL"
Mr.. Kitchin's statement is not in
genuous for he refers to suggestion
from the railroads of the country"
whereas the suggestion that freight
rates should be increased to onset the
Adamson bill has been made already
and made by President Wilson himself.
President Wilson has committed him.
self to the proposition that the rail-
roads should not lose by his legislation,
but would be permitted to increase
their charges sufficiently to offset any
real increase Of their expenses. With
the national election out of the way it
is entirely possible that Mr.. Kitchin
accurately represents the position
which the House will take. while it
also is quite possible that Mr.. Wilson
will change his mind once the election
is over.

The fruit was Of such fine quality
that we asked Mr.. Weymouth how
often he sprayed his trees and he said
everything possible to keep birds in his

troublesome insects.
He doesn't depend entirely on the
birds, however; he keeps 16 hogs to
eat the windfal1s, that are picked up
every morning. and every apple that
falls goes to the hogs. for he believes
they will not fall unless they are i'm

Eight Per Cent. Protest.

Robert T. Frazier. Jr., of Nashville,
Tenn, chairman Of the organization of
the so per cent. Of railway employees
not members OF the Brotherhoods, and
who are not benefited by the Adam
son wage increase bill has made an ex-
haustive report to those he represents,
which condemns the President in polite
but not the less severe terms and
which tears the mask from what Mr..
Wilson persists in calling an "s-hour
bill"
We are very much opposed to the
legislation AZ enacted" reads Mr. Fra
ziers report, and to President Will
sons recommendation to the Congress.
which altogether ignore our rights and
sacrifice our chances of betterment II.
order to grant a tremendous increase
OF wages to other men already receiv-
ing double our average wage. We are
pushing forward with determination
and expect to present at the next ses-
sion of Congress a strenuous appeal for
a full and just investigation of the
whole railway situation"
Referring to the visit of himself and
p. w. Walden to Washington at the
time the President was handling the
railway controversy, Mr.. Frazier re-
cites the daily, persistent efforts they
made to see the President, pointing out
that never was Mr.. Wilson's day fully
occupied with the controversy, but,
says MIR. Frazier:
Although the President was holding
lengthy conferences daily with the
Brotherhood leaders he would not re-
ceiye your Representatives even for a
few minutes, to present to him the pc
tition signed by 100000 railway EN-.
ployes. and to ask for justice for the,
remainder Of the unorganized so per
cent. The President persisted in his
determination to secure the Is per
cent increase, disguised as an 's-hour
day. for the 100000 Brotherhood men,
bers, and to give no consideration to
the interests Of the other 1900. 900 rail-
way employees"
In statement to the press Mr.. Fra
zier says. we are now preparing Pc
titions asking Congress to investigate
the entire subjectof railway hours and
compensation. The Adamson law SIM
ply raised the wages Of the highest
paid class Of railway employees. We
The 50 per cent. outside the Brother
hoods, certainly are opposed to an,
advances to these men if they initiate
against advances to the lower paid EN-
pioyes. In a word. II there is to be
legislation on the subject Of compen-
sation we want 1t to cover the whole
field fairly and equitably."
