FARMERS GAN SPEED FREIGHT
THEIR HELP NEEDED IN MAKING
RAILROAD PLAN WORK.
Success Of Wartime Preference SyS

Reporting Delays.

"The success of the plan voluntarily
agreed to by the railroads operating in
Minnesota, to make implements and
articles in common use on the farm

the farmers who find their shipments
delayed" says Hugh ]. Hughes, chair.
man Of the markets division of the

difficulty in every case will be 10.
Gated" adds Mr.. Hughes "In
this way delays will be traced to
their causes, and the railroads will be
aided in speeding up shipments. With.
out such reports on the part of farmers
or dealers in farm supplies, the rail-
roads will have no means of knowing
mands of farm shipments are meeting
with success.
"As reported two weeks ago, the
railroads, the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission and the mar.
kets division of the state food com,
mittee are anxious to keep traffic
moving in the most effective manner
possible in order that the farmers may
be served not only in moving their
products out, but in moving their i'm,
plements and supplies in. But in or.
der to realize their purpose they must
know whenever there is any hitch in
shipments either way.
"The preference freight plan, as or
iginated in Minnesota, has come to
the attention Of men in other states
and to men concerned with the same
problems in the national government
AS result. 1t will probably be put into
operation very generally, greatly to
the profit not only Of Minnesota's
farmers, but of those of the entire ma.

To What Extremes of Disloyalty the Socialist
Party Has Committed Itself

III
copyright. 1917, The Tribune Association
The great anti-American campaign
Of disloyalty is conducted largely by
non-citizens who seek to overwhelm
the government and people Of the Uni
ted States. The most important agency
through which they work is the Social
list party. The official documents OF
the Socialist party show that one-half
it's enrolled members are not citizens
Of this country.
A. NJ. Simons, q former member OF
the National Executive Committee OF
the Socialist party, says in The
Christian Socialist" of June 20, 1917:
"The financial report of the ma
tional office for April gives the mem
bership for that month at little
over $4,000. OF the 10000 the reports

That it would be necessary TO allow
the curtailing of passenger service to
very considerable extent in order to
make the railroads of the utmost use

Commissioner Whitney said that a

Casting OFF the
Legal Restraints

Among other things that this conven-
ton of a political party controlled by
alien enemies did was to embrace crime
and sabotage as recognized principles
Of socialism in the United States. The
former constitution Of the Socialist
party said, Article II, Section g.:
amy member Of the party who op-
poses political action or advocates
crime, sabotage, or other methods Of
violence as a weapon OF the working
class to aid in its emancipation shall
be expelled from membership in the
party Political action shall be con-
strued to mean participation in cleo
tions to public Office and practical leg
islative and administrative work along
the lines of the Socialist party plat
form" -.
The St. Louis convention struck that
section out Of the constitution.
A pamphlet called Socialist Party
Platform" sent out from the national
office of the Socialist party, at SOB
Madison Street, Chicago, says:
"The Socialist party stands commit
ted TO the class war, and urges upon
the workers in the mines and forests,
on the railways and ships, in factories
and fields the use Of their economic
and industrial power by refusing to
mine the coal, to transport soldiers, to
furnish food or other supplies for mill
tary purposes, and thus keep out OF the
hands of the ruling class the control
of armed forces and economic power
necessary for aggression abroad and in
dustrial despotism at home"
