CLAIMS UNIONS NOT
SOLID FOR LIQUOR

Samuel Gompers' statement that or
ganized labor is lined up solidly in
favor of the repeal of wartime pro-
hibition was challenged by Z. w.
Oyster. one of the oldest members OF
the Columbia Typographical Union.
at a hearing before the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee on the prohibition
enforcement bill to pave the way for
the operation of the law JulyN1.
1t is a gross misrepresentation to
say that organized labor is unanimous
on this liquor question" said Mr..
Oyster. Members Of the trade unions
are divided upon it just as other citi-
zcns are"
Although testifying to his hearty
support of Mr.. GOmpers' labor princi-
pies, Mr. Oyster replied to a question
by Senator Sterling that he believed
the head of the American Federation
Of Labor was wrong in representing
the views of organized labor on the
prohibition question. ITO keep the
record straight" he heartily Endorsed
the general policy of Mr.. Gompers.
Another witness who appeared be-
fore the committee was DR.. Clarence
True Wilson, general secretary of
the temperance board of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. He presented
A telegram from the American Medical
Association showing that the ALLIED
Medical Association" had been enron
eously reported as having adopted a
resolution in favor OF eXempting beer
from the operation of wartime pro-
hibition.

que. Multiply that sum by many
thousands, and you will have some idea
Of what the elevator and milling trusts
are losing through the Nonpartisan
League-and what the farmers are
gaining. Is it any wonder, in view of
this typical instance, that the eleva-
tor and milling men have spent thous-
ands Of dollars to finance the I. v. A.,
and to send Kositzky and such puppets
up and down the state, trying to per-
suade the farmers to vote down the
farmer program?
But what hypocrisy is it on the part
of these big interests to try to fright
en- the farmer by pointing out the in
crease in taxes! The state tax COM
mission estimates the increase on the
average quarter section, as a result
of the new farmers laws-including
the state industries-at $6.46 per
quarter section. Just thru the grain
grading law alone, on one shipment of
wheat, Mr.. OPEN saved enough money
to pay this increased tax on 1925
acres. And the farmer in only begin
ming to reap the benefits of the Non
partican League legislation. Greater
savings still will come when the state
industries are in operation.
AS the Courier News has often
pointed out, that slight tax increase
is the best investment North Dakota
farmers can possibly make.-Courier-

PACK EGGS FOR WINTER

Eggs can be packed now for next
winters use. Mr.. G. E. Greaves with
the Extension Division N. D. Agr.
College found that one locality that
shipped out $50 cases of eggs in the
summer had Is cases shipped back in
the winter when the price had nearly
doubled. This was poor economy and
could have been largely avoided if
some Of the eggs had been packed.
Any housewife can procure water

following instructions she can pack
enough eggs during the summer
months to last her thru the winter

servatives can be used such as lime,
salt, or lime and salt but waterglass
