STEVENSON MAKES PROTEST

Congressman Stevenson has taken
up vigorously by letter with Herbert
Hoover. food administrator. and with
Secretary McAdoo the question of re-
curing purchases Of corn meal and
commodities in order that wheat
tour may be conserved. His letter TO
Mr.. McAdoo is as follows:
There has been recently a widely
published request from you by the
farmers Of the south to make all the
eadstuffs they can and save the bur-
den of transportation OF shipping such
breadstuffs.
Il venture to say that in my dis
trict there is more corn than will be
needed by the people Of that district
and there should he practically no
shipping in of corn products, although
there will be more or less OF II, some
people having a surplus and some
having a deficit. Now comes the food
administration and says that you
can't buy any flour although wheat
was a failure in my section last year.
unless ut the same time you buy an
equal amount Of corn products.
This is incOmprehensible to the
farmers and l have written Mr. Hoov-
er a letter. a copy of which | enclose,
and respectfully ask your careful-at-
tention to the same. and If there is
any way in which these conditions
NAV be ameliorated ! will appreciate
very much your good offices in having
II done"
Following is the letter TO Mr.. Hosv-
er:
Some time ago Mr.. McAdoo urged
the farmers to make, as nearly as
possible. everything at home, in or
der to avoid transportation difficult
ties and the overtaxing Of the rail-
roads. The government last year in
every way endeavored to promote the
production Of foodstuffs on the farm,

Al "A hearing in Washington this
the wages of railway employees. w.
&. Lee. president of the brotherhood
~ Railway Tr,inmen. charged that
the traffic confusion was due to the
railway management which is seeking
To ,iiscrcdt government ownership
and the eight hour law. Mr.. Lee
said that among other things the
railroad management had displaced
experienced men at important termi-
nails with new men; that boilers had
been allowed to freeze and burst
through deliberate intent; that crews
had been called out and kept waiting
until the l6-hour period was practic-
ally up before they were allowed to
leave the yard: that other acts Of
sabotage had been committed by
the management for no other pur-
pose than tn secure delay. If asked
for the responsibility for these tactics,
President Lee said he would point to
four New York banks that have the
financing of most Of the railroad ope-
rations in America. These bankers
were not opposed to the railroads 60
ing under government control: but
they are opposed to the railroads re-
naming under government control
These bankers understood very well
that the taking over OF the roads by
the government means relief from
the bankrupt condition to which they
had been reduced by being robbed OF
their capital. and they also under
stood that the return of the rail-
roads to public ownership will re-
store the old status under conditions
that will afford a new crop OF fat
pickings.

The fuel administration Is consider

Officials are now convinced that the

cious In actually saving fuel In guam

from u to 35 per cent OF their normal
