freight train crews which was ordered
but rescinded when the railroad COM
panies agreed to accept the Adamson
eight-hour law.
Freight Men Won Raise.
This law was passed in September,
1916, when a nationwide strike OF
freight men was first called. The act
provided that such employees should
receive the same pay for eight hours
work as they then were receiving for
10 hours, which arrangement should
continue for a specified period, after
which a federal commission should
prescribe the rate of their pay.
The railroads refused to obey this
law when ii took effect Jan. l, 1917,
bringing test suits in the courts. The
companies accepted the law in May
without waiting for a decision from
the United States supreme court.
Shortly afterward the court rendered
a decision sustaining the validity OF
the act.

The Farmers Union
 And The War

A great hue and cry Is eeiug up since our nation has entered the Great War: hat the farmers should produce fo3dstuff food- stuff, more fOodsfutf. We. trt Union, have been crying the same thing for those many years.
 Will the Farmers stand behind the President in the war Iu answer, We may say they WilL for we like the way President Wilson goes about the war and the things he stands for Only Wilson has not done all he should.
 At our last County Union meeting we passed a resolution that the government take over the railroads, telephone and tele- graph lines We thought this very reasonable for the follow ing reasons:
 lst. During the building of the railroads the government gave them every even section with the exception of Section 16 for 20 miles, and an additional twelve mile strip for every odd

 Let's figure:
 l2 square miles of land for ev- cry mile of road. 7.6S0 acres at s 00 per acre. The average price then would be SIS. 400 per mile that the government gave them outright. Rev. Sheldon of Kansas quoting Dr. Gladden.. places the total at 2l5. GOO. 000 acres. The cost of building is about S25. GOO per mile. accord ing to William Larrabee. D. D.. ex-governor of Iowa.

 We find the Industrial Rela- tions committee very emphatic ally declares for government ownership. by purchase, of tele graph and telephone lines. And We say WHY NOT? Postal rates are very different today and postal service is much better to- day under government owner ship than 1t was under private control.
 l But to return: Will we SUD- port the food-production camp aign? Let's talk a little on that question. The Assistant Secre- tary of Agriculture. speaking in Texas. said he thought the farmers ought to- raise their crops and furnish them at act ual cost of production to the government. Later he became very patriotic" and said he was willing to allow the copper king as much as 100 per cen profit.
 Under such utterances the farmers get worried and want to know what We get out of this, if We raise stuff and then save to sell at cost of production. while the men who farm men get 100 per cent profit on the mems labor.
 Such measures will ne yer stand before organized labor, of which the Farmers Union IS a part. and. further, such utter ances are making Socialists among the labor unions faster than anything else can.
 Win We stand by the Presi- dent? Ask Us rather Will we do the taings We nave been wanting to uo these mar years.
 We believe if Mir Wilson gets what he is evidently working for. We will get of this War a5 few things as follows:
