What the labOrer didn't see under

makes 1t possible for the manufactur-

In the age long struggle between
Capital, which has always had per-
mission to combine, and Labor, which
was denied the right to combine, the
greatest step toward the full enfran-
chlsement Of labor was recommended
by a Democratic President and put
into law by Democratic Congress-
the anti-Injunction Amendment to

HIS COURAGE SAVED DAY
Loss Of s1oo,ooo,ooo to Apple Crop,
SIS, ooo, 900 to Peach Crop, and $780,
100000 to Potato Crop. Only a Drop
In the Bucket.
By FRANK C. ODELL
editor Of the Nebraska Farm Magazine

The farmers of America recently
faced crisis, from which they were
delivered by prompt action by the
President of the United States-the
threat of the nationwide railway
strike. The railway managers and
the representatives of the 100000 men
employed in train service, were dead
locked over hours Of labor and wage
schedules. President Wilson vOlun-
teered to act as mediator, but had
no power to force arbitration. An
impasse was reached.
The Brotherhood issued strike
order effective on Labor Day, Septem-
Der 4. The railroad arrangements
showed that they recognized the i'm
minence of the strike. Embargo or
ders were issued on freight shipments.
Supplies and strike breakers were mo-
'bilized. The country waited, breath
iessly, for the storm to break. 1t was
apparent that neither side was bluff
fng.
The President saw national calam-
ity impending. He called leaders Of
his party into conference with him
and with them wrote the bill present
ed to Congress with the special mes
sage Of the President next day. Mel
Their the railroads nor the railway
lhretherhoods were consulted. Neither
side knew what the bill contained;
neither made any demand, or had the
slightest influence In the framing Of
the bill.
That portion Of the bill providing an
eight-hour day for employees engaged
In the operation Of trains became a
law. 1t was accepted by the Brother
hoods, the strike order was cancelled,
the calamity was averted.
No class stood to Iose 90 much from
this strike as the farmer. A single

wnen tney can play the market al
their own sweet will. 1t would have
meant $5O,OOO,OOO dollars loss to the
farmers on the billion bushel crop.
James X. Armsby, one of the larg-
est shippers Of fruit In California, a
Republican, recently said that If the
strike had taken place it would have
bankrupted many Of the fruit growers
of that State. He said II would have
caused a loss of not less than $40, 000,-
900 to the fruit industry Of California
alone. This amount is probably much
tos low. ~.''! e, 'sssas
The peach crop new going to mar
ket, with value Of about SIS, 900, 900,
would have been practically a total
loss. The $500, 900 apple crop
would have shrunk by half In value.
The potato crop, Of a value Of about
1920, 100000 would have involved a
further loss Of at least $5o, ooo, 900. The
cabbage farmer of Northern Ohio, the
grower of tomatoes for the cannery,
and the celery grower Of Michigan and
Florida would have kept mournful
company. Melons from Colorado, Cali
fornia, Arizona and Delaware, grapes
from western New York, and from
Yakima and Wenatchee, prunes, pick
les. poultry, butter and eggs would
have gone down in the common cata-
clysm.
What would strike have meant to
the live stock market Of the farmer?
And what would 1t have meant to the
consumer, with the cold storage facili-
ties in control of the packers COM
bine?
Would Have ParaIyzed Industry.
The direct and immediate loss which
the farmer would have sustained in
case Of strike Is but one phase of
the danger which threatened his inter-
ests. The depressing influence upon
market prices, resulting from the in
ability of consumers to buy because of
lack Of employment, would have been
felt in every item Of this years farm
products. Take this single instance:
This telegram, sent to President Will
son on September I'd by Henry Ford,
the worlds greatest automobile manu-
facturer:
The President: The moment It
is positively known that q strike
will become effective on the rail-
roads, the Ford Motor Company
will Of absolute necessity shut
down Its factory and all of its as
sembly plants throughout the
country, and every man of Its more
than $4,000 workers will have to
90 Off the pay roll.
Our business is 80 organized
that the supplies and products
must be kept moving constantly.
We cannot move day without
railroad service. We are making
2,200 cars every day. The materi-
ais must be moved in and cars
out. I sincerely hope something
can be done to avert the strike.
Your efforts are appreciated and
should be commended by every
citizen in the country.
HENRY FORD.
This telegram is typical Of what
would have happened to practically
every American industry had a strike
ensued. Millions of laborers would
have faced enforced idleness, poverty
and restitution. The strike would
have paralyzed every American indus
try and precipitated d panic. such as
has never been Witnessed.

The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1916-12-30

The tax commission OF Wisconsin
issued report recently that is very
interesting and contains some sug-
restions of changes that are worth in
yestigating. One OF the most inter
esting suggestions is that merchants
and manufacturers be assessed upon
income rather than personal proper
Nv. This suggestion looks to be an
excellent one for Michigan to consid-
err carefully. Another departure sug-
gestcd is TO DO away with the local
assessor and substitute therefore a
county assessor. This is move that
certainly ought to be made in Michi-
gan under the present regime where
the state tax commission practically
makes the assessment. The Wiscon-
sin commission says that II a county
assessor should be chosen an assess
ment need be made but once in four
years.

Next Monday NJ. s. McDonough
takes hold OF the prosecuting attor-
ney's office. There has never been an
entry into that office IN this county
that has been watched for so eagerly
as Mr. McDonough's entry has been.
It's all because our prosecutor-elect
has promised to do in six weeks, at so
negligible, what others have found inn
possible TO do in two years time; viz
clean Iron county OF blind pigs.
No one expects that Mr.. McDonough
IS going to get rid OF Illicit liquor

see him do Is to reduce Il TO a mini

can and will do so and again we say

believes that a majority having de-
creed for prohibition II Is every good
citizens duty TO give the law fair
trial.
Mr.. MeDonough has not confded in
anyone his plans OF operation. How
he Is going 20 accomplish his end is
his own planning We have heard
that he intends 10 clear all public
places OF screens which would be an
excellent thing.
Whatever his plans may be, one
thing Is certain. Mr.. McDonough is q
fighter and when he starts out be
moves every means to accomplish his
end so II we don't see the end of

pretty sure TO see the merriest chase

commanded a price Of $170o for the
past ten years and elm has been up

There Is no excuse in the price offered
for these two woods excepting the fact
that they can be bought at those
figures.
Birch Is the poorest of of any OF
the woods. A price OF $500 Is the
best offered 80 far. This wood has
commanded price OF $500 for many
years and why IL should be held at a
lower figure this winter Is a puzzle.
Maple is up little, the price that
Is most frequently quoted being $500

has never commanded the price 1t
