SMALL-TOWN RUFFIANS INDUC.
ED TO BREAK UP FARM
Err MEETING

pave 1NNCAAIAy 1ASxS WHICH, uOOOIUlHS
broke up a farmers meeting, assaulted
an aged man and tore banners from
farmers automobiles. An appeal to
the police by League members was re-
fused bluntly by the chief Of police.
A rumox circulated by League enc
mics that one Of the automobiles in
the parade which preceded the meet
ing carried a red flag precipitated the
riot. Attempts were made by those
responsible for the disturbance to
place the blame on returned soldiers,
but according to Lester P. Barlow, who
is touring the country lecturing on
government industries in the war,
there were no soldiers in the crowd
that attacked the Leaguers. Barlow
himself an A. E. F. man, spoke at the
same meeting, and questioned several
Of the men who, were posing as sols
diers and forced them to admit they
had never een army service.
Police Neglect Duty
Jesse r. Johnson, state manager Of
the League, called on the chief Of po-
lice and asked for protection, saying
trouble was expected. The officer re-
fused to send police to the meeting and
told Mr.. johnson that if he expected
trouble he had better not try to hold
the meeting. =
G. A Sorenson, after the afternoon
meeting was attacked by a man in the
uniform Of the city fire department
and Knocked down. When he sought
the arrest Of his assailant>a policeman
refused to take the man into custody
without q warrant. f
Another meeting was held at night,
and again an appeal was made to the
police for special deputies. No police
men appeared until after the disturb
ance. According to those in charge of
the meeting, the presence of n po-
liceman would have prevented the at
tempt at mobbing. When the meeting
started, the hostile crowd began an
uproar. A Beatrice lawyer and .
pastor were howled down when they
urged the crowd to remain peaceable.
Aged Man Assaulted
At this point Manager johnson Of
the League asked the farmers in the
audience to come nearer the platform
so they could. hear. The mob at once
charged the platform. r. ]. A. Hart
wig, an aged resident living near
Firth, was knocked down, struck over
the head, his scalp torn and several
teeth werelnocked out Of his mouth.
As q member Of the mob attempted to
strike him again while he was pros
trate, q farmer woman threw herself
between the mob and it's victim and
cried that they would strike the aged
man again only over her W dead
body.
This incident seemed to sober the
mob and Mr.. johnson dismissed the
meeting.
Il was evident that the mob had
been melted BY anti-League interests
in the vicinity. Literature Of an ac-
tive organization opposed to the
League and statements Of newspapers
opposing the League were mentioned
BY the crowd. s'1The d-n farmers are
trying to run the country some Of
the members Of the mob shouted dur
ing the disturbance.
A delegation will be sent to Cover
nor McKelvie to demand protection for
future meetings, il was announced by
League officers. The sheriff Of Gage
county was asked before the evening
meeting to furnish protection. He ~
Piled that il was not within his juris-
distion.

more democratic methods in finance and business; and the same kind Of brag- ging that class capital did about owning railroads, giant industries. and running cities, counties and states, has been adopted by the professional plutocratie strike-unionists who have been trying to bluff the country into the false belief that calamity i'll national affairs is at hand
 The steel strike and the coal strike have demonstrated the fallaev of at tempting to eoerce the public and the government: and regardless of the re- suits as they affect the imployers and the employees, these strike are apt to be like the thunder shower that is followed by clear weather. It is not time to feel too optimistic, because there are gaps to close between employers and em- ployes, and big economic problems must be worked out. Nevertheless the unrest in industry appears to have had its ori gin principally around the mahogany ta- bles of boards of directorsof workmen's federations, brotherhoods and unions and the warnings against revolution and the like seems to have pictured an imaginary rather than d real menace. The refusal of the government to be stampeded by the strikers in the coal mines, and the failure of the steel strike is not as many have adjndged, failure of un- ion labor. It is a triumph for union la bor since in the showdown it umst be reasonably apparent to all people who think that two conditions exist in the la bor situation of tins country. First: That there are too many autocratic la bor leaders sitting around mahogany ta- bles. This is very important diselos- ure which labor itself may be depended upon to remedy. Secondly: It has been clearly proved, in the course of these strikes. that the wage earners of the country are wholly loyal to the govern
