FAVORS FOOD CONTROL.
Flat Rock, June 16, 1917.

Flat Rock, June 16, 1917.
Editor Hustler.
Dear Sfr:-On page 2 OF your paper
issued June 14th, 1917, a highly sedi-
tious and misleading article has been
published in regard to the food control
measures now being worked for by the
PRESIDENT in his efforts to set this
try on its feet in a right attitude to-
wards this present state of war.
The food control aims are the exact
opposite of those stated in Your paper
Put concretely, they are to see that
the farmer gets his fair chance and for
once loses nothing by over production.
1t means that instead of getting 40
cents a bushel 70 Ppotatoes, he gets a
dollar, which surely would repay any
farmer in this section for planting and
tending any number Of potatoes.
At the same time it also means that
instead of having to pay any number
of dollars for a bushel of wheat thai
some nan who neer saw the wheat has
now the power to charge for it. the
same farmer who gets a dollar a bush
ell for potatoes, can sell his wheat also
at but little more than a dollar a bush
GIs MduJ III I1O6S WIN 4d1OCu JA0 "nCdJ
will have received a dollar a bushel for
it and has been able to buy the. pota-
toes the other fellow raised, for just a
little more than a dollar a bushel.
The entire plan is to protect the
farmer and pay him a fair price for
his work, an dto protect the people so
that not too much is added on to the
farmers price by the time it reaches
them go.
Such control is the rightful duty of
any government that claims to work
for the people. This is the first time
that duty has been publicly recognized
Do not obscure the issue by permitting
false statements concerning it to ap-
pear in your paper. Will you not
not rather lend a hand in this moment
Gus event of the government working
fer the first time to see that the farm
er gets a square deal? For years the
farmers work has been a gamble, e
speculation which has generally proved
poor no matte rwhat he did. We
swing form over production to under
production and back again.
Food control seeks to make the posi-
ton firmer by arranging for open
kets and fair prices for products.
Please help to make this known, for
it should bring great chez rand help
t oal1 those who work the land. This
section is working splendidly on the
farms this year. Don't discourage:
them by permitting false ~interpreta-,
tons of the draft and of food control
to appear in your paper.
Yours truly,
M. B. HANCKEL.

 Mir Lloyd George said the acreage mdor cultivation showed an increase of 100000 acres. If the harvest weather is good the condition of food supplics will be very satisfactory. The eremier added that there had been an increase in the sugar reserve.
 ~The government has come to the copclusion," Premier Lloyd George sad. "that with reasonable economy there is no chance of starving Eng land out.
 "The admiralty plans for dealing with submarines have been increas-

 There had been a considerable saw ing in bread consumption, the pre- mier said. and owing to closer milling and food economy there had been ad- ditions to the wheat stock of 10000 quarters per week. GA quarter is equivalent to eight bushels.)
 The British premier said that in the single month of April 5G0, 900 gross tons of shipping were lost through Teuton submarines. In July tonnage lost went down to 320000 gross tons. This month there was a substantial improvement over that of Jgy.
 The net losses since the commence ment of Germany's unrestricted sub- marine warfare was under 250,J00 tons a month.
 The premier said:
 Germany is now barely able to hold her own-not even that"

CRAVE MENACE SEEN
 IN l. W. W. ACTlVI1IE]
Government is Preparing For Swift and Drastic ActiOn-In- dustries Vital to Prosecution of the War Threatened.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Grave men, ace to industries, whose continuation at high speed is deemed vital to the prosecution of the war, is seen by of ficials here in the growing activities of l. w. w. leaders on the Pacific coast and in the far northwest.
 The movement apparently is near ing its maximum and the full scope of its possibilities is not minimized here. A pretentious program, calling for strikes, lockouts and general dis turbances over seven states, or about one-fourth of the area of the country, has been brought to the attention of the Department of Justice by scores of expert field investigators now in the affected territory.
 Swift and drastic action to check the movement, in so far as it would cripple industries or curtail produc- tion of commodities necessary for war is planned by Department of Justice officials. In many instances, how ever, the department labors under the handicap of being unable to proceed until an overt act has been performed.
 Prosecution of strike leaders where justified in the opinion of the depart ment, on charges of conspiracy or under the espionage act is. contem- plated in specific cases, but no general prosecution of the I. W. W. leaders is expected.
 The entire movement, eliminating yesterday in the declaration at Spo- kane of James Rowan, district secre- tary of the organization, that @ gen eral strike would be called Aug, 20 in Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho unless certain demands were complied with, is regarded by many officials as being political and not a labor movement. Instructions have been sent to field workers to de- termine. as far as can be done, whe- ther the threatened strike is part of programme deliberately designed to hamper the government in the prose- cution of the war.
 District attorneys in the four states affected, as well as in California, Ari zona and New Mexico, have been in- structed to devote unceasing attention to the situation and to institute prose cutions promptly where justified.
 Officials here were much interested today in Rowan's demand for ten hour day in the harvest fields. Any organized movement, it was said, tending to prevent or delay the har- vesting of the country's crops in any section would come clearly within the class of subjects with which the pres ident was authorized by Congress in the war resolution to deal with sum- marily
 Another industry which has already been affected to some extent .by ac- tivities traceable to I. w. w. sympa- thizers is spruce logging in Washing ton. At one stage of the labor dis turbances the governments great

programme of aircraft construction appeared to be menaced, but the situ- ation in this industry has been re stored more nearly to normal within the past few days.
 A third industry which might be seriously affected by general I. w. w. strikes, it is said, is copper mining in Montana. The government is follow ing this situation closely.
The Prescott daily news., 1917-08-17

the programme of naval construc- ton.
 With the cooperation of America, the premier said, there would be sui ficient tonnage for all of 1918 and if necessary 1919. Although tonnage had decreased during the last year, he added. more goods had been car ried from overseas.
