BARRETT CLAIMS FEDERAL
AGENTS ARE AFTER INFOR.
MATIoN-ISSUES A STATE
MENT-cALLS ON FARMERS
TO HOLD THEIR PRODUCTS
OFF THE MARKET EVEN IF
THEY HAVE TO co TO JAIL
FOR 1T

Washington, Nov. 23.-Declaring
"that he understood federal agents
are already going over Kansas, Iowa
and other states trying to get evi-
dence necessary to the indictment of
men who are asking farmers to hold
their crops" Charles s. Barrett,
president of the National Farmers
Union, through a statement issued
today, appealed to members Of his
organization to stand together and
not sell their products at present
"ruinously low prices"
"Show that you have the moral
courage to 60 to Jail if necessary"
Mr.. Barrett advised members of the
Farmers Union. "The word seems
to have been passed around that
farmers were to be taught a les
son-they were getting trouble
some."
The farmers answer to claims Of
over production, Mr.. Barrett said,
should be:
eve will simply lessen produc-
tion."
This was mo idle threat, he said,
adding:
"From every part of the country
comes the promise. that this policy
should be adhered to until the coun-
try wakes up to the fact that it
must either go on short rations or
pay you wages high enough to live
on"
Efforts Of the farmers toward CO.
operation, Mr.. Barrett said, has met
with strong opposition from the first
He charged that deliberate ef-
forts" had been made to prevent
them from buying collectively.
"For seven long weary years."
the Farmers Union president added,
"the farmers of this country had
placed over them secretary of ag-
riculture not in real sympathy with
and with little understanding of the
needs of agriculture and who now as
secretary of another department is
being used apparently as a willing
and eager tool to enforce deflation
of farm products"
Mr.. Barrett's appeal further
stated that the only course to the
famers was to help one another and
by raising sufficient money to fl
nance more adequately "our busi-
ness undertakings so that we can
hold and market farm products our
selves in a business like, orderly
fashion,"

WHITE SOX BEAT INDIANS
 IN FIRST GAME OF SERIES

Cleveland, Sept. 23-The Cleveland team today met Chicago in the first of series of three games that is ex- pected to decide the American league championship, and broke down under the terrific attack of the White SoX losing, 10 to g. Chicago outplayed the Indians in every department of the game, out-hitting the locals 15 to 8, making but one error to three for Cleveland and stealing three bases while Cleveland stole none. As a re- suit, Cleveland now leads Chicago by only half a game.
 For three innings, Cleveland looked as if it were going to battle Chicago to a finish It then was leading, 1 to 70, having scored a run in the first in ming as the result of an error by Ris- berg. In the fourth inning, the CleVe- land machine began to crack. Catch CT O'Neil was guilty of an error of judgment that allowed Chicago to score and tie the count.
 One of the largest week day crowds in the history of League Park wit messed the contest. Every available space in the park was taken with the exception of right field, where Man ager Speaker protested against per hitting the fans to gather. However, only three balls were caught by the right fielders.
 The presence or the crowd In left field started the downfall of the h. dians. as Jackson received credit for a two-base hit in starting the sixth inning that would have been an easy out for Left Fielder Evans had the public not been allowed to take pos l session of that part of the field Err TOTS by Bagby and Wambsganss on buntS by Felsch and J.

After the first batter had been retired in the eighth,
 the next four hit Caldwell safely, two for doubles. Uhle was welcomed with
 two more hits before he got his bear ! ings.
 Although he split his finger in the
 fourth inning, Dick Kerr pitched mas terly ball throughout, holding the h.
 dians to eight hits, five of which were
 garnered by Gardner and Evans.

 As soon as the market opened corn started to plunge downward and aI- though rallies took place, they proved brief. Offerings on a large scale were thrown into the pit apparently without end, and about the only buyers were shorts who could grab profits. The Sen tember delivery in particular showed weakness as receipts today were large and further big supplies were said to he on the way here. Oats gave way wfrn corn and touched the lowest prices vet this season.
