CAPPER SHOWS FARMERS
Continued from Page One,

without visibly helping the con-
sumner we have brought about n
crisis in our most fundamental and
vital industry by forcing the pro-
Queer to accept prices at which he
cannot continue TO produce, while he
and the consumer are compelled to
pay prices at which they are forced
to curtail the home demand"
Citing losses sustained by agricul-
tural producers, Senator Capper said
the recent decline in livestock prices
had cost producers $50, 900, 900.
Livestock growers, he said, do not
control the markets. and, like other
agricultural producers, must accept
prices fixed by others.
Farm wages have doubled, land
values have risen enormously and
everything the farmer buys, he said,
has risen from so to 800 per cent.
Among the remedies suggested by
Senator Capper we're cessation of
federal government propaganda
which tends to bear down the prices
Of farm products"
Executive departments" he said,
Should seek wider markets for the
farmer by lifting the embargo on
wheat and wheat flour to Europe, by
extending credits to European gov
ernments and by lowering ocean
freight rates"
Legislation to free the livestock
producers of alleged control of the
markets by the packers also was
urged by Senator Capper, who sug-
gested establishment of cooperative
farm selling agencies.

There is a determined movement
throughout the land to assume con-
troll of all government functions in
behalf of a class" continued Senator
Frelinghuysen. "We have come to
a parting of the ways. This country
is not ready to be dictated to by a
hoard of aliens. Any citizen who
seeks to advance the interest of him
self and his associates at the ex-
pense of the general public is not a
patriotic citizen. Soyetism means
class rule. We can not permit that
in America.
Labor unionism should be upheld
for n primary principle, to obtain
and maintain justice for the man who
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow; but when the power of organi-
cation is employed to impose injus-
tice against all other classes of So
ciety the law of the land should be
invoked to prevent the abuse of
such power or laws enacted that will
do this.
When labor defies law and order
through the power>of its union it is
sounding its own death kneIl n
digging its own grave.
There are thousands of law abid-
ing citizens members of these unions
who do not desire to strike. The ter
rorism spread by the radicals and
lawless in these unions creates fear
for the safety of their homes.
Labor has risen to a high degree.
but if, through improper influence
and disloyal leadership, the labor
group attempts to place its letters
upon an unoffending public 1T must
be dealt with accordingly"
Senator Norris. republican. Nc
braska, asked If the miners not in
volved in the dispute would answer
the general strike call and several
senators declared the walkout un-
doubtedly would be nationwide.

Planter Shot And
Killed Saturday Night

Mr.. Faulkner, planter residing near
Blaine, Miss, was shot and instantly
killed by an unknown assailant Sat-
Eurday night as he was returning from
Ruleville in a motor car where he had
been to attend show. It is believed
that the person who shot Mr.. Faulk-
ner was negro, and according to re-
ports reaching Greenwood, it is
thought that the shot was fired from
rapidly moving car which passed
the Faulkner automobile. Two negro
es are under arrest in connection with
the crime, and are being held at In
dianola.
Those who were in the car with
Mr.. Faulkner thought that the report
f the gun, was a tire puncture, and
did not know that Mr.. Faulkner had
been killed until he fell dead from the
car.
Bloodhounds passed through Green
wood yesterday and were taken to
Moorhead where they will be used in
connection with the murder.

Club To Form, business W0aan's
Club of Greenwood"

Tonight the business women Of
Greenwood are requested to meet at
the Elks Club at o'clock for the
purpose of perfecting an organizatse
to be known as the Business Wom-
ans Club of Greenwood" When this
club is formed it will be the outcome
of long felt want in this city and
will probably be the means of meeting
some of the most serious problems in
the line of women's activities, social,
economic and otherwise.
A canvass Of the city has revealed
the fact that there are between two
and three hundred business women
in the city. Many have expressed
themselves as heartily in favor of the
club and it is believed that much un-
told good will result from the organ
ization.
The plan is to elect at least tenn
porary officers at tonight's meeting.
1t is hoped to secure available club
rooms and employ paid secretary to
look after the business Of the club.
Every business woman in the city
is urged to be at the ladies' parlorT
in the Elks Club room tonight at 8
o'clock.

Two Negroes Held
Up Saturday Night

Two hold-ups occurred in the city
on Satn. lay night among the negroes.
The county officers received a tele-
phone call about 9 o'clock, stating
that an old negro man had been held
up near the Planters Oil Mill, and
shot.
On reaching the scene the officers
d .scovered that the old man had been
shot through the finger and knocked
down, striking his breast and severely
cutting it. He had been robbed of
$3.50. No clue could be found to
the person who had held him up.
No sooner had the officers return
ed to the city until they received an
other call that negro had been held
up near the furniture factory. This
negro was shot through the leg, bat
was not seriously injured. He had
no money and his assailant did not
secure any valuabl les. The officers
are of the opinion that both of the
negroes were held up by the same
man.
