SEED CORN SITUATION DEMANDS
SERIOUS ATTENTION
Early Frost in Corn Belt Destroyed
termination and the South
Must Supply Seed

The early frost of last fall came
when the corn in the greatest pro-
ducing sections was still green. The
result is that the seed corn for next
season must be obtained elsewhere
The growers are looking TO Ken
lucky for their supply of seed corn.
Much corn in Kentucky had failed
TO mature and is, of course, useless
for seeding purposes. The only way
TO tell whether your corn will ger
inmate or grow is TO test it. Tests
are easily made and will effect a
great saving.
The food situation is approach
ing an acute stage and if the corn
crop is failure, disaster will sure
ly follow. This will inevitably be
the situation if seed corn is not
distributed TO our neighbOrs who
have none. Farmers who have no
seed corn should get it at once. Don't
wait until planting time. Do it now.
Don't Fail To Test The Corn!

By his General Order No. AZ, Director
General of Railroads McAdoo prohibited
railroad employees from participating in all
political activities, thereby denying to g.
900 900 American citizens the rights guar
anteed them under the Constitution of the
United States. The storm of protest raised
by the order, which in time of peace would
nave brought on an industrial revolution,
but which railroad men endured for the time
being through patriotism alone, brought
modification OH the eve OF a national con-
gressional election, by which employees may
hold municipal Offices and sit in political
committees and conventions, but not serve
charmen. But the order still stands
mockery of the constitutional rights of this
great army of loyal American citizens for
bidding them to discuss political issues, to
hold office and to support their friends for
office, as other Americans may do.
No such act of high handed autocracy has
ever before been committed in the history of
this nation. The heads of the great rail-
road brotherhoods, mindful of their rights
as free men, and of the rights of the men,
bers of the four brotherhoods, were prompt
in protest against this effort to dsfranchise
American railroad men. Garretson, of the

By another order issued through operating
officials railroad men were ordered to dis
pose of all their holdings and investments,
stocks or otherwise, in any form of indus
ry or manufacturing enterprise that, may or
does come into competition with patrons of
the road Men in Albuquerque, for instance,
who own stock in an automobile or other
manufacturing company, must dispose Of
that stock because it is an enterprise in COM
petition with patrons Of the railroad. Men
in Deming, Tucumcar, Ration or Vegas who
own stock in paying mine that ships ore
over the road on which they are working,
must sell that stock
In fact the free railroad men of America
are forbidden, under this ruling, from own
ing anything in the way of property except
life insurance, land and Liberty Bonds A
railroad employee cannot even go into the
grocery business as stakeholder or silent
partner.
Small wonder then that the brotherhood
circular says to McAdoo in this connection:
'"The orders being issued, no doubt
with your (McAdoo's) approval, by
operating officials forbidding railroad
employees from having any interest
either directly or indirectly in any bus
mess in competition with commercial
people along the line of road Many OF
our members hold stock in cooperative
stores many of which have been put in
since the war, being made necessary by
the war prices of the war profiteers.'
Others have invested their savings in
coal and wood yards, grain elevators,
ETC., and, in fact, either are silent part
ners' or hold stock in almost every in
dustry along the line of road. We have
always encouraged this in the past, be-
lieving it made better and more stable
class of men where they have local in
terests. Now he is given reasonable
time to dispose of his holdings under
penalty of being made tramp. He is
denied the right of every other citizen
that of investing his savings and hav-
. ing them work for him.

nored it. "To date" the circular says, mo

They conclude their general circular

who are not afraid to assert the rights OF

conservative comment to their hundreds OF
thousands of associates affected:
"There is no disposition to discuss the
order on sentimental grounds, nor is
there need for it. To interfere with the
political rights of an employe because
he happens to be in effect an employe
of the government, and for the reason
that certain abuses were possible when
railroads were under private control
does not establish the need for the order
nor inspire greater degree OF con-
fidence in applied political democracy
now or hereafter.
Are we to believe that the Director
General of Railroads would go so far as
to say that employees in munitions
plants, shipyards and other industries
that are government controlled in part
or altogether, have no political rights
except such as fixed by his order?
"There is no need to fear that as long
as the American railroad employe is
not interfered WITH he will become
cog in any mans political machne-nor
will they ever attach themselves to any
political party that assumes to take
from them any of their political rights"

continued government operation of railroads
for an indefinite period, and probably gov
eminent ownership. 80.
Under McAdoos rulings, railroad en-
poye, while the railroads are being operated
by the government, is a government en-
ploye And it requires only the presidents
signature to an executive order to transfer
every railroad employee to the classified civil
service.
Under that civil service no employe could
transfer from one road to another to improve
his condition, because his civil service fixes
his status No fireman could lay down his
shovel and put hand on the throttle of an
engine without first passing civil service
examination 1t would mean that wages and
hours of service would be fixed by civil
service regulations, under which the strength
of organized labor would be dissipated
against the stone wall of government en-
ployment.
