By FRANK G. 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. Septen-

showed that they recognized the i'm
minence of the strike. Embargo Or

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.
ther the railroads nor the railway
brotherhoods 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. It was accepted by the Brother
hoods. the strike order was cancelled,
the calamity was averted.
No class stood to lose 80 much from
this strike as the farmer. A single

Crisis for Nations Toilers.

OtbSuS WI NQlIOoI uVuCl -
What the laborer didn't see under
the Republican regime was that High
Tariff does not regulate wages, but
makes it possible for the manufacture
er to so regulate prices that he can
control labor. The farmer, with his
characteristic self-reliance and natur-
ally independent spirit, asked no fav-
ors. All he wanted was an equal
chance with other business men. Will
son saw the farmers interests In a
big way.
The Rural Credits Act alone, Of
more than dozen big things this
Democratic Congress did for agricul-
ture, gave greater direct benefits to
the farmers than any legislation en-
acted since the creation of the Depart
ment of Agriculture generation ago.
There came time when the laborer
saw that his labor was 4 commodity,
thing to be bought and sold, or re.
strained or enjoined by the unwar-
ranted issuance Of injunction writs in
Federal courts; he saw that he did
not have the rioht-ouaranteed him
by our constitutional voluntary as.
ISOLATION for his own protection and
welfare; in short, he saw that he was
a wage slave! He saw that he was
up against Capital-organized and en-
trenched behind the Powerful Pull of
the Political Bosses of the Republican
High Finance Gang, and Organized
Capital fought to prevent the organi-
cation of Labor!
What did Labor demand? Merely
this: That Labor he made part of the
national councils; that its patriotism
be conceded; and that it's knowledge
of its own needs give it paramount
voice in legislation directly and Pc
culiarly affecting its own rights.
And what has been the spirit of this
Democratic Administration? Let Sam
uel Gompers, President of the Ameri.
can Federation Of Labor tell:
I'm my experience with United
States Congresses during two score
years have not seen anything like
the fine spirit toward labor, toward
the rights and welfare of all the
people, pervading all the branches of
the Wilson Administration. This fun
damental right spirit has guided the
Wilson Administration to wise and
righteous labor legislation"
In the age long struggle between
Capital. which has always had per-
mission to combine. and Labor. which
was denied the right to combine. tho
greatest step toward the full enfran-
chisement of labor was recommended
by a Democratic President and put
into law by Il democratic Congress
the anti-Injunction Amendment ~
the Clayton Law.

wien lney Gun play the market at
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 Il would have
caused loss Of not less than $4,000.
600 to the fruit industry Of California
alone. This amount 10 probably much
too low.
The peach crop now going to mar.
ket, with value Of about SIS, 000, 900,
would have been practically a total
loss. The $500 000,o 900 apple crop
would have shrunk by half In value.
The potato crop, Of q value Of about
$22o, 1000, 900 would have involved q
further loss Of at least $50, 0o0, 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 it 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 a 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,
NhC 6IcuIcSI uulULIlOUllc
facturer:
The President: The moment it
Is positively known that a 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
Conh1v Sn1Ontc
country, and every man of its more
than 1900 workers will have to
60 off the pay roll.
Our business is SO organized
that the supplies and products
must be kept moving constantly.
We cannot move q day without
railroad service. We are making
2,2OO cars every day. The materi-
ais must be moved in and cars
out. 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 strike
ensued. Millions of labOrers would
have faced enforced idleness. poverty
and restitution. The strike would
have paralyzed every American indus.

has never been witnessed.
