WHEAT PRICES GO
UP VOLUNTARILY,
IS STATE REPORT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July "a
Reports have been coming into the
headquarters of the Indiana Fedora
ton of Farmers associations from
various sections of the state to the
effect that grain dealers and millers
in a number Of places have advanced
the price they have been paying the
producers for this years wheat crop.
Secretary Lewis Taylor said yester-
day that word from Anderson was to
the effect that grain dealers there are
paying $2.16 for No. wheat, $2.13 for
No. and $2.09 for No. 3. However,
he said, many millers in the state and
in Indianapolis were still quoting Sail
for No. l wheat.
The federation, according to Mr..
Taylor, expects a ruling shortly from
the United States Grain corporation
which may revise the handling charge
of dealers paying only $2.11 to point
where farmers will receive practically
the same for their wheat as Is being
paid in Anderson.
Federation Starts Drive.
The campaign in the drive for $780,
900 as a guarantee fund with which to
finance the farmers organization for
a period of at least three years has

Now the OF New York city have decided to take

committee of 20 women representative of as many
ganzations started their work by personal investigation
Of New York's wholesale markets.
Mrs. James Lees Ladlaw, nsgator and leader Of this
market inspection and chairman of the field committee of

the women's first trip among the markets She said:

between wholesale and retail prices. In any she

long.
And why not? Why should not we the buyers of food
take upon ourselves to solve this problem that pr

So why not a wholesale market investigation by the

actual working out Of labor unions they
have operated to keep lazy and inefficien:
hands on the payroll.
In free competition the good workman
gets more pay and better treatment than
the shftess, but the tendency of the union
is to bring them TO a level.
This is neither pleasant nor popular talk,
but it is true.
Why not start movement to do better
work all around, and more Of it?
While we are swatting the profiteers and
trusts why not hand few well-directed
kicks TO the loafer?
Why not abolish the Saturday half-holi-
day for six months, till we catch up?
Why not suspend the labor laws for
period and allow man, if he wants to, to
work 10 hours instead of 8?
Why cannot the American Federation OF
Labor declare six-month truce, during
which no one shall strike? II would bring
prices down more surely than any others
measure, and to reduce prices does the
worker as much good as TO raise wages.
AT the end of six months we could go
at cutting one another's Threats again with

The only people who would be injured by
such truce are they that earn their money
and get their power and prominence by
their activities as trouble makers.

The editor Of The American Wool and

gestion, re the problem of bringing down
the High Cost Of Living.
II is that everybody work little longer
and a little harder, and produce more.
That's all.
II is so simple it is almost funny.
When we look over this broad land Gas
the high school vaedctorian says) and OBJ
serve how every group of workers is strik-
ing for shorter hours easier labor and more
pay. we are forced to think that the above
editorial suggestion viii be about as welcome
as burglar.
Still, why not?
We worked hard enough during the war,
to carry on the war; why not work now, 10
pay for the war?
The laborers complain at the high prices,
yet they are striking right and left. and
every strike helps boost the cost Of things.
The nasty truth about a labor union is
that il is primarily an organization TO pro-
tect and promote the incompetent.
That unions have improved the condition
of the workers there can be no doubt, as
the typical employer has been insensible TO
any argument but club But the bad
always comes along with the good, even
as the tail goes with the hide, and in the
