"Can't- Strike" Plan
Opposed By Farmers

Washington, Dec. 25.-Jhe Poin-
dexter anti-strike bill, that was rail
roaded through the senate, is OPP
posed by representative farmers or
CARNATIONS. The national board of
farm organizations, at a meeting in
st. Louis, condemned the attempt to
handcuff labor and the farmers ma
tional council has taken the same
position. In a public statement, Di-
rector George P. Hampton of the lat
ter body said:
Farmers, | believe, as body, do
not like strikes, recognizing that they
interrupt production, but farmers do
not blind themselves to the self-evi-
dent fact that under our present-day
industrial organization strikes, even
on railroads after due notice has been
given and negotiations have been
held, may be necessary to protect
labor to secure its just rights.
STRIKES should be a last resort,
but last resorts sometimes have to
be resorted to, and it is un-American
and contrary to sound public policy
to make striking felony under any
and all conditions.
Farmers realize also that if strik-
ing by labor is made a felony the
next step logically would be to have
the curtailing of acreage or the COM
modify marketing of farm staples,
which is necessary to secure fair
prices for farmers, made felony as
well. This would result in enforced
labor on the part of farmers and rem
der them helpless under the eXploita-
ton of monopoly interests"

Wage-Slash Policy
No Trade Solution

Boston, Dec. 25.-"How can bust
ness be improved by lowering the
consuming power of wage earners,
through wage reductions? asks
Editor Baine of the Shoe Workers
Journal.
"To hear some employers talk one
would think they believe that the
only thing needed to set all the wheels
of industry in full motion would be
a reduction of wages all around.
"When wages are low consump-
ton is low. Lack of wages or low
wages destroy the market for ordi-
nary or staple commodities. For
example, the prolonged depression in
industry has reduced the movement
of both freight and passenger trains
ION railroads. Next comes a general
laying off of railroad workers. 1t
is the same thing as idleness of shoe
workers when there are no shoes to
make.
"When railroad men are idle they
purchase less and so help to reduce
the volume of business for railroads
to handle.
Gust how this lack of consump-
ton is to be remedied by still fur
Their reducing the purchasing power
of the masses of the people by
wholesale reductions in wages the ad-
vocates of such policy do not explain.
They begin and end with the bold
declaration that wages must be re-
duced.
"Since 1914 wages of shoe work
ers in the United States and Can
ada have advanced not more than
an average of So per cent. During
that same period the cost of living
has advanced 101 per cent in the
United States and 1T per cent in
Canada. Now that eXtortionate
prices have begun to decline in
wholesale markets and are just be-
ginning to be reflected in some re-
| tail stores, a few shortsighted en-
ployers want to reduce the wages of
shoe workers 20 per cent.
"In Massachusetts there is COM
mission on the necessaries of life.
That commission says that in Sep
TENDER, 1920, the cost of living ac-
tually increased per cent. For the
month of October, 1920, it reports
a decrease of per cent. The work

at the same cost of living November
l, 1920, as they were September 1,
1920, or at the very peak of the high
cost of living, or just turning the
peak, just as one prefers to view it.
Having in mind that certain fun
damental expenses in the cost of W.
ing are higher than ever before
known, and bid fair not to be re-
duced, such as high transportation,
| rents, fuel, professional services, etc,
| the fact remains that if wages are
reduced, the amount left for purchase
of ordinary commodities will be less
than it was before the war. If not
actually less in dollars it will be far
less in purchasing power because no
one can imagine that general COM
modify prices will be anything but
considerably higher than the pre-war
| level. Increa sed transportation
charges will alone insure that con-
dition."

New WOrk-Accident
Laws More Liberal
To Injured Workers
ments and Adequate Medical Care
Need Now of Increased Cash Pay
ments and Adequate Medical Case
in q Majority of States.

New York, Dec. u. - Recent
amendments to state workmen's
compensation laws are in the direc-
ton of greater inclusiveness, more
liberal cash payments and a larger
measure of medical care, although a
majority of the states still fall short
of adequate compensation standards,
according to statement issued to-
day by the American Association for
Labor Legislation through its presi-
dent, Thomas l.. Chadbourne, former
chairman of the general committee
of the National Industrial conference
The statement outlines recommen-
datiOns for the improvement of exist
ing acts as set forth in detail in the
seventh annual edition of standards
for Workmen's Compensation Laws"
just issued by the associations COM
mittee on wOrkmen's insurance.
"Now that the principle of
workmen's compensation protection
against industrial accidents is firmly
established in the United States"
says Mr.. Chadbourne, "the present
need is legislation to make existing
acts more effective, particularly to
provide all necessary medical care, to
increase the cash payment in all
states where it is not already two
thirds of wages, and to bring about
greater uniformity. There is urgent
need also in many states for addi-
tional laws to abolish the practice of
frequent under-payments by insur-
ance companies to the injured work
ers through direct settlements, as we'll
as to make full provision for federal
state cooperation under the new ma
tional law for the rehabilitation of
industrial cripples.
Prompt passage by congress of
bill to restore the protection of state |
compensation laws to longshoremen
has been made necessary by a recent |
unfortunate five-to-four decision of
the United States Supreme Court
which finally deprived these essen
tial workers in especially hazardous
occupations of all workmen's COM
pensation benefits" Mr.. Chadboulne
continues. "At the request of labor
and other organizations and public |
officials, bills for federal compensa-
ton legislation for longshoremen, as
well as for seamen, have been pre-
pared by the Association for Labor
Legislation in cooperation with all
interests affected"
In bringing all state laws abreast
of just standards now developed out
of 10 years experience in this coun
try and in extending the protection
of workmen's compensation to all
maritime workers, according to Mr..
Chadbourne, legislators will do well
to follow the provisions of the model
compensation act already in opera
ton for the half-million civilian en-
poyees of the federal government.

picket duty in Chicago, carrying ban
ners inscribed with slogans advocat-
ing the boycotting of English made
goods, in front of the big department
stores in Chicago. Thousands of
people are reading the signs and the
boycott has become very effective.
Five hundred thousand circulars
listing the merchandise to be boy
cotted have been printed and are now
being circulated. We are reliably in
formed that so effective has the boy
colt become that one large depart
ment store in Chicago was compelled
to cancel two large orders for Eng

 The quota for this county is $2,5o0, and while present financial conditions make the outlook rather discouraging, the campaign committee believes a considerable sum will be raised. Much of the money to be contributed will be used in alleviating conditions of distress that may arise in this county.
 The first subscription to the fund was made last night, when Conway camp No. 35, Woodmen of the World, voted to donate $25 to the Salvation army.

Tt Is one that know to be reliable. l sure use it for the liver, stomach, constipation. indigestion, and it has done me world of good. We use it for the family, and 1t gives satisfaction.
 Most trouble, or sickness, comes from the liver, and if taken in time can be avoided. That Is why I use Black -Draught as I do. ana much pleased with results obtained"
 Thedford's Black-Draught Is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent ly stimulating the liver, and helps in crease the normal flow of bile into the intestines. It assists in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation in prompt and natural way.
