WHEAT BELT OF KANSAS
FACES HEAVY LOSSES
Production Expert Says Great
Loss Will Occur Unless
Government Acts

Manhattan, Kan, Oct ls.-The
wheat belt OF Kansas faces loss OF
100000 on this years crops unless
the federal government takes some
prompt action TO protect farmers
against decreasing prices, according TO
Prof. s. ID. Salmon, production expert
and professor in crops at Kansas Agrl-
cultural college
Prof. Salmon today issued a warning
10 the country that unless conditions
are remedied before next spring, the
1921 wheat crop viii be far below nor
NAL. He predicted farmers will cut
their crop In half by planting other
crops in the wheat fields because OF
losses sustained in the raising OF
wheat.
1T costs the farmer at least 50 n
bushel TO raise his wheat crop and
20 per cent. OF the Kansas yield Ia
sold at local prices which are from
80 TO 80 cents below the Kansas CITY
cash market. This means that the
hushel on, the farm and the farmer
who sells loses from 20 to so cents on
every bushel he raises" he said
Prof. Salmon estimated this years
Kansas wheat crop at 10000. 900
bushels. with corn yield OF 1870 100000
bushels. He said only one fourth OF
this has been marketed so far, but
that the entire crop will eventually
be marketed.
Kansas farmers are not like the
southern cotton growers" he COM
mented None OF the wheat will be
destroyed. Next years crop is already
planted and there will be no difference
in the remainder OF this years yield
Next year, however. the country will
feel the effects unless this market sit
uation is remedled Ut once"
You mean farmers will ignore
wheat when planting?" he was asked. |
Yes, | do" he replied. "but II all |
depends on the next five or six months. |
n the farmer gets more money for |
his wheat he will plant the same |
acreage next year II he does not he'll |
not use as much acreage for he can't |
afford to raise wheat at a loss"
He hlames the car shortage |
principally for the farmers threatened |
losses, He pointed out that II the |
farmer could get his crops to the big |
trading centers he could get better !
prices but that without railroad faciil- |
ties he must sell his wheat from the |
farm.
Commenting on President Wilson'S
ordered investigation OF the Chicago |
board OF trade Prof. Salmon said IL |
would benefit the farmers
AT least II will disclose what is TO-
ing on at these boards OF trade and |
whether or not they are actually |
the grain prices 1t will |
show the farmers, also, that the gov
eminent is Interested in their cnse.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, In what
way are Chamberlain's Tablets superior
to pills? Our answer is-They are
easier and more pleasant to take, more
gentle and mild in their action and
more reliable. Then they cleanse and
invigorate the stomach and leave the
bowels in a natural condition, while
pills are more harsh in effect and their
Use is often followed by constipation.

o. B. U. NO BENEFIT.
Trade Unionism Stands for Con
 struction, Not Destruction.

The Free Press has been asked why we consistently oppose the so-called one big union," says the Edmonton Free Press, owned by the Edmonton, Alber- ta, Trades and Labor Council.
 Tt is a fair question, and one that we have no desire to avoid answering We oppose the O. b. u. because it is founded upon false pretenses It claims to be an organization functioning for the benefit of the workers and has no record of accomplishment to substan- tlate its claim.
 We are willing to take labor papers as evidence. Glance over any paper controlled by the international move ment and the reader sees multiplied in- stances where the workers have gained more wages or better conditions through their international unions. But a careful reading of an o. b. u. paper vii fail to reveal anything of the kind. The columns of such papers are used largely to islander and vil1ify individuals who are really accomplishing something for the working people of Canada The Free Press will not be found attacking individuals. But 1t will be found op- posing and condemning any force that IS operating under false co1ors. We are only interested in organization of the workers that will benefit the working class. Any organization that is pre- tending to do that and yet can show no evidence of anything but plans to disrupt and disorganize, will continue to receive opposition from this paper and the body 1t represents"

EMPLOYERS HIT.
Don't Like Kansas Anti-Strike
 Law Any More.

Employers in the state of Kansas are beginning to murmur against Gov ernor Aliens 'can-strike" law. The employers are regulated under the law, but they were willing to accept this if labor could be- -handcuffed As far as labor Is concerned, the law Is failure and the employers see that if it is to be enforced the state much inaugurate an extensive jail-bui1ding system.
 John $. Dean, Topeka lawyer and president of the anti-trade-union Kan sas Employers Association, gives this warning to Governor Allen that his legislation is doomed because it has failed to control labor; and it must not be used against the employers:
 If the law may require Gas 1t does) that a private industry may not cease production without a permit from the court of industrial relations, it will follow that the law may forbid the farmer to reduce his production or to cease production. A little widening of the circle and this court will be die tating to the farmer just how many acres of wheat, corn, potatoes, etc, he shall cultivate and also fix the price he must accept for the same.
 Insofar as the Kansas industrial court law undertakes to c1othe the state with general regulatory powers over private industries, and the liberty of the workers and partisans to accept or reject any schedule of wages offered, 1t IS unconstitutional, and the most re- act1onary legislation of which this gen. eratlon furnishes any example"

: Rear Admiral William s. Benson, chairman of the United States ship ping board, refused to take a hand in ending the New York water front strikes, involving coastwise longshore- men and teamsters.
 "We have nothing to do with set tlfng industrial disputes between ship ping companies and their employees,' g he said. 'The shipping board is not a bureau for industrial conciliatton."
 He added that the policy of the board as regards labor twill be that of equal opportunity for all."

FRAME-UP FAILS.
Effort to Railroad Soldier Labor
 Editor Falls Flat.

Efforts by the Merchants and Man ufacturers' Association of Los Angeles to railroad Sidney Flowers, a returned soldier, to prison. for upholding union labor, have failed for the second time MT. Flowers, who had been one of the most seriously wounded soldiers to re- cover, started a magazine called the "Dugout' for returned soldiers on his return to this country. It was a cap- ably edited magazine in all respects, but the editor had the fighting courage to attack the profiteers and to uphold union workers who were trying to bet ter their conditions.
 At first he was treated merely to petty persecution and to warnings to drop his attacks on the profteers and his defense of union labor or to sus- pend the magazine. The editor, who had fought so strenuousfy for demo- cracy abroad, refused to surrender his principles. Then came one of those famous frameups for which California IS becoming infamous throughout the world. A pretended friend of the Dugout sent him through the mail list of papers in important European coun- tries and suggested exchanging with them as means of developing good will among nations. MT. Flowers sent copies of the Dugout to these papers abroad and was immediately arrested for having commerce with the enemy countries" and for criminal syndicalism under the laws of California.
 Two juries have now failed to con- vict him in spite of the tremendous pressure brought to bear by the kept press of Los Angeles, the expenditure of more than $25,O00 by the Merchants and Manufacturers Association and the work of three prosecuting attorneys supported by small army of spies and stool pigeons and professional testifers.

MISSOURI TO VOTE ON
 COMPENSATION LAW

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 13.-The state supreme court has ruled that the workmen's compensation law, passed by the last legislature, must be submitted to referendum vote The law is the result of the combined efforts of the State Federation of Labor and employ CTS. The charge is made that damage suit attorneys are behind the referen- dunn plan. Friends of the legislation oppose the referendum and a lower court held that the petitions did not contain sufficient names because of the large number that had withdrawn their signatures. The state supreme court reversed this decision. G
