Farmers Call
Unions Greedy

The present attitude of organizes
labor, with its constant demands lot
less work and higher pay, was ae'
nounced as greedy and unpatriotlc III
resolutions passed at the anaus'
meeting of the National Association
of Commissioners of Agriculture 81
Chicago, according to 1.-The Ch'
cago Tribune" from which We
quote
"The representatives OF the farmer
of every state in the Union warne1
that the radical demands of labor BIC
leading straight toward a revolu''oA
and to a government not of the peop''
but of one class, many of whom a''
unable to speak our language or unde''
stand the spirit of our American IN
stitutions.'
David F. Houston, Secretary OF Aen'
culture, the principal speaker OF ",
day, predicted that the high prices u
American food would disappear as Ehs
land began to draw upon her coIon'''
for sustenance.
"The resolution condemning iaoo'
was only one of several which oe'
nounced the profiteer, indorsed VI.
Farm Loan Act, deplored strikes ~,
lock-outs of all character and ursea

sociation for the protection OF she'
interests"

kearney returns to present it to the

act, saying that the boys had "shown
poor judgment" and displayed no
heroism." Mr.. Schumacher, the Sec
retary of the Park Board, thinks

men in Pennsylvania, California and
other states. This would give labor
agitators a very wide field of ac-
tivity and fill the country at times
with that class Of agitators that the
government would find it desirable
and advisable to deport to the coun-
try of their origin
"The Pittsburgh Gazette Times"
also notes Bolshevist tendencies in
a party which "has so little to diff
ferentiate it from the Reds, who
would overthrow our government by
force" This feature is bound to lead
to the failure Of the party, IS it will
appeal to a limited minority only.
"The Detroit News" sums up this
error:
"The trainers of such political pro-
gram should have realized the inherent
difficulties of their position and should
have approached their problem with
the greatest tact. To begin with, they
had no hope of bringing to their sup

believes the attack on the Senate to
be inspired by the fear of anti-strike
legislation, while the suggestion Of
electing Federal judges for short
terms is reply to the injunction.
But as for this last proposition:
"ls it possible to conceive of a
greater injury to all interests than
would inevitably fo low the throwing
of the judiciary int politics, and con-
demning it to frequent rough-and- -tum-
BILE contests ? Would not justice in such
circumstances have tough time get
ting through Would not chaos be
substituted for order? What chance
would a man learned in the law, and
qualified by learning and temperament
TO interpret the law, have in such a
scramble against a shallowpate with
gift of shaking hands?
"Give us the initiative, referendum
and recall, demands the labor party.
Would not such a policy put premium
on agitation, making 10000 agitators
grow where but one agitator grows
now? Would not unrest and insta-
bllty become chronic-a veritable
order of the day? Would not condi-
tions become, and remain, so unsettled
that all interests would suffer?'
Bolshevistic elements are seen in
the platform by "The Utica Press
while "The Philadelphia Press" sees

neous, being based on the Nonpnr-
tisan League, some farmers and two
or three radical associations; that
is, it is trying to gather in any one
who cannot find home in the older
parties. "The Republic" also be-
lieves that it may have a good eff
feet in. forcing new views on the
older parties platforms. "The Utica
Press" also foresees some good re-
sulting from its effect on the pres
ent political situation, hoping that
it will "divide the sheep from the
goats" ''The' Press" says:
"The danger always is that both the
old parties try TO win the support of
all the dangerous elements simply as
a political eXpedient, and having ac-
cepted favors they can be rightfully
expected to give them. If the Reds
and radicals could be put into one
camp and the loyal Americans into an
other it would be about the best thing
that could happen"
The platform has received much
more unfavorable comment, espe-
cially on account of the demand to
abolish the Senate, a proposition
disapproved even by the extreme
Democratic papers. 1t is called "a
rough h-and-tumble platform" by 1.-THE
Washington Evening Star" which

cal means of accomplishing their
doctrines. For months the radicals
avoided Hartford and it was not un-
til the visit of Rose Pastor Stokes,
released on bond and facing q long
prison term for seditious utterances,
that the radicals began making their
temperance. The notorious Mrs.
Stokes gave her address under the
auspices Of the so-called Communist
party, formed by the left wing or
radical Socialists. Several speakers
of minor Importance then visited the
city, attracting little attention.
"A month ago Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, one of the most violent expo
nents of radicalism in America, slipped
into Hartford unheralded, spoke at the
Labor Alliance Hall, advocating
sabotage and direct action. and left
the city without having attracted un-
due attention. A week later Carlo
Tresca, disciple of the Flynn woman,
avowed anarchist and Red, addressed
an audience In q local theater, the

New Haven has had very little
trouble, owing to the efficiency of
the police and special care to pre-
vent friction between Americans
and foreigners in the factories.
There is an elaborate night school
system.
Bridgeport has the largest pro-
portion of foreign-born popula-
ton, about so per cent.
The most lasting remedy is the
Americanization of the foreign ele-
ment. This is being conducted by
"Americanization committees" Of
prominent citizens, the Y. M. C. A..
and the churches. There are night
schools in all the principal cities
of the state, andit is also hoped to
reach the parents through their
children in the public and paro-
chial schools. Manufacturers are
aiding in this work by establishing
schools in their factories and pro-
noting good feeling between Amer
leans and foreigners employed by
them.

Red influences during the war,
but, after the armistice, the en-
trance Of the I. w. w. heralded the
arrival Of agitators Of all kinds, at
the beginning Of 1919. According to
'The Courant":
"The first days Of 1919 saw the ad-
vent of the I. w. W. element into Hart
ford affairs. Before many weeks had
passed the building on Market Street
which housed the Venetian Cafe and
was of notorious repute during the
old wide open days in Hartford,
became the headquarters of this
American soviet. Meetings were held
regularly, agitators from Brooklyn
New York and other cities put in an
appearance and thousands of PAM
phlets bearing the I. w. w. imprint and
a message typical Of that organiza-
tion were scattered broadcast in the
central part of the city.

~"LIND GEORGE OF
BROADWAY" made his
- first mistake in wears

n <A
first mistake in years
recently, but quickly re-
covered himself, and once more
his reputation as the "man with
the phonograph ears" is unassail-
able.
Long before New York news
papers had dubbed a detective with
uncanny powers of recognizing
criminals as "the man with the cam
era eye" "Blind George" was one of
the legends Of Broadway for his
ability to recognize persons he had
"seen" only once or twice before by
the sound of their voice.
Recently George was at his usual
stand at Forty-second Street and
Broadway, passing out his news
papers to the homegoing theater
crowds. One Of the group of five or
six men about him stretched out his
hand with the remark:
Tribune, please, George"
An Old Friend
Instantly the paper was forthcom-
ing and a smile crossed the news
dealers face as his sightless eyes
stared straight ahead.
"Hello, Leo" he said. "When did
you get back? Who are you with
this season?"
The other took the paper, stam-
,nered bit in his astonishment and
soon was lost in the crowd after a
few more words with George.
"I'm glad 1 didn't make mistake
on him." said George little later
when business was slack, because l
made mistake once this week and
I don't do that very often. I went
to the theater to see''-George, as
do practically all others deprived of
sight, uses the word "see" as fre-
quently as do his more lucky
brothers-"to see friend who talks
to me every day. And then l couldn't

port united labor. That very large
and respectable element of the labor
movement which gives allegiance to
Samuel Gompers does not believe in
political action for labor. Mr.. Com
pers has on every proper occasion
openly opposed the formation of a
labor party because he believes it det-
rmental to the trades unionist pol
ICY"
Therefore, the Labor party "prom-
ises little beyond the possible value
of agitation" "a party has to get
votes to live," reminds "The Toledo
Blade" and says:
"Unless such an organization agrees
upon fundamentals that will impress
by reason of their fairness and univer-
sal appeal, a Labor party is not apt
to get much farther than would a
Profiteering Landlords party"
The need for harmony is empha-
sized by "The Boston Herald" quot
ing a leader of the party, who de-
clared that representatives of every
shade of radical and semi-radical
sentiment had been gathered into a
single hall. Under such conditions.

perform German opera is be-

M s
York over the attempt to
L. perform German opera is be-
ing repeated in Milwaukee,
according to "The Milwaukee Jour
nal," which describes fight conduct
ed by the Milwaukee County posts
of the American Legion to stop the
performances given az the Pabst
Theater by the German Theater
Company. The first shot of this
campaign was fired when delegates
served notice on Adolph Landauer,
president Of the company, calling on
him to suspend the performances at
least for the present. Landauer gave
the notice to Chief of Police Jansen,
who, fearing riots similar to those in
New York, called in members of the
Legion committee to explain this
passage:
UNLESS these performances are
discontinued at once, the lNluau-
kee posts of the American Legion
qoiu do everything IN their poaver
to stop all such performances"
The chief wanted to know what
this "everything" meant. The dele
gates assured him that this referred
only to legal methods, and that the
Legion had always discountenanced
rioting and mob violence, would do
all they could to prevent any out
breaks and had previously prevented
outbreaks suggested by a few radi
cal members. The legal battle, how
ever, would be fought to finish.
President Landauer will ignore the
Legion's request. He is urging that
German performances are within
the law, citing instances of German
plays and music in England and
France during the war, and French
performances in Berlin. The organ
lzatlon, he says, is composed Of patri-
otto American citizens and is con.
Quoted entirely for artistic and edu-
catlonal purposes.
Meanwhile, ex-service men antici-
pated the Legion's protest by taking
a captured German gun that had
been stored preparatory to being
