Labor Cuts Own Throat.
There is no more damnable point
at which labor can attack our
economic structure. and might
add. no surer way of cutting it's
own throat than by cutting down
the efficiency and the carrying
capacity of our arteries of trans
portation.
''One of the most lamentable fea-
lures of the whole situation is the
effect II all may have upon mex:
years crop. With much of last
years crop still on the farm, with
little prospect of moving the pres
ent crop within a year, and with
the local banks clamorfng for
liquidation of loans, there is little
to encourage heavy seeding for next
year. Preparations for the next
wheat crop will start within a
month and the prediction of heavy
cuts is general.

made a survey of the cooperative

Federation has plans underway to
effect a cooperative grain market

Baltic ports which now are under
the domination of England.
This Is accounted for by some OBJ
servers as one of the reasons for
the haste with which England Is
