Farmers Blame Short
. Workday and More
Wages Cry for H. c. L

Hagerstown, Nd, Oct. 30.-The
short work day and the "ever-in-
creasing wages demanded by indus
trial labor" were/declared to be "al-
lies of the profiteer in keeping up
the high cost of living" in resolu-
ton adopted by the Farmers Ma
tional congress at its concluding
session. The congress also went on
record as opposed to "all strikes"
The resolution expressing onposi-
ton to organized labor's methods
was adopted over the protests Of a
small minority of wrought-up farm-
ers, who withdrew from the congress
after the vote on the resolution.
Speakers for this minority raised
furore throughout the convention,
hall during consideration of the res
olution and declared that all organ
lied labor was engaged in a strug-
gle for its just rights and should
Rave the full sympathy and support
of the farmers of America.
"We know that the 44-hour week
cannot feed the world and we pro-
claim that it cannot clothe it" the
resolution further declared. Those
who advocate the short day in in
dustry, the resolution added should
not expect the farmer to work six
hours before dinner and six hours
after, with hefore-breakfast and
after-supper chores thrown in."

mystery of the robbery of $4,000
worth of jewels from the home of
DIR. Joseph Blake. the famous physi-

them.
Mrs. Blake thinks the robbery oc-
Cured between the completion of

$50 p. m.
IF the robbery had occurred later
in the night the burglars would
most certainly have stolen this dia-
mond engagement ring and jeweled

Sheriff Nessiter took many finger
prints at the house, and the police
declared nothing will develop for
about two weeks. 1t was said that
Mrs. Blake has several hundred
