FOOD PRICES TO
STAY HIGH, SAYS
HO0SIER farmer
No Reason Why Farmers
Should Suffer and Others
Benefit Declares Taylor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8.-The far
mers of Indiana intend to demand high
prices for food products as long as the
prices of other things are high. Lewis
G. Taylor, secretary Of the Indiana
Federation Of Farmers associations,
said Wednesday in explaining. organi-
cations telegram to President Wilson
In which the federation says that if
the strike of the railroad shopmen
continues 1t seriously contemplates
advising its members to hold all farm
products until the strike ends.
The railroad men are asking for
more money" Mr.. Lewis said. They
are striking to obtain more money
and this strike causes the farmers
TO lose money. Hogs dropped 81 on
the Indianapolis market yesterday be-
cause purchasers could not obtain
cars to ship them. Is it fair that the
farmer should suffer and others bene-
At by strikes"
Taylor said he does not believe in
per adjustment of prices that would
be fair to all.
Want Square Deal
Il believe the farmer should have
his rights the same as other men,
he said, land the farmers Of Indiana
are for the first time in a position
to assert their rights. When strikes
and other conditions cause the price
Of other things to go up, the farmer
will assert his rights. We are de
manding only a square deal
Taylor said he could not under
sand why the farmer should be kick
ed around" to benefit persons of other
occupations.
They are trying to force food prices
down." he said. 1T seems that there
Is little effort to force the price OF
binders and other farm machinery and
all the other things that farmers must
buy. We are told that the prices OF
shoes and clothing will advance 100
percent. Farm machinery dealers tell
US to look for an increase. Why
should we reduce our prices when
our costs are greater"
Taylor said he favors a reduction
in prices. He expressed the opinion
that prices Of necessities and labor
should come down together.
On Same Basis
Let's not try to force one thing
down and another up" he said. Lets
get repres entative Of each industry
and Of each line of labor around a
by everybody will bring down costs
Taylor said he did not believe this
to be an idle dream or simply an ideal
which could not be accomplished. He
said he believed this theory could be
put into practice, without running to
congress-"
The farmers secretary expressed
the opinion that congress has been
listening to no one but railroad men
and other laboring men who have
been holding a club over our law max
ing bodies"
Taylor said he believed his tele
gram to the president came as some
thing of a surprise because the pub
10 did not believe the farmers were
in a position to assert their rights.
He said that this policy is in line
with that of farmers organizations in
other states. The Indiana Federation
Of Farmers associations was organic
ed last spring, but it has grown sc
rapidly that it has become one of the
most powerful organizations of its
kind in the middle west.
