THURSDAY FEBRUARY 49, 1920

Organized labor serves notice on tht
country through Samuel Gompers thai
it is going into politics this year. The
heads of the American Federation OF
Labor charge that the inherent rights
and principles of the people are
threatened through the reactionary
tendencies q the present Congress
which has strcnglcd remedial and con
structive legislation and shown a dis
position antagonistic to organized Ia
Dor. Hence the American Federation
of Labor plans an aggressive fight IN
every congressional district TO secure
the nomination and election of ctndi-
dates friendly" 20 organized labor.
The campaign will also be carried into
state and local primaries and clection5
and an attempt made to obtain gov
ernors, judges and legislators well dis
posed toward labor While no an
nouncement is made as to the presi-
Dental campaign, it is to be assumed
that the influence of the labor leaders
will be cxertcd in the national c0nven-
tons as well.
What Mr.. GomperS and his associ-
ates say as to the character of the
present congress has basis of truth.
II certainly has shown an indifference
toward or inability to grapple with
constructive legislation. Its record is
barren of achievement. 1t has done
nothing to win the confidence or re
Spect, either Of organized labor or of
any other class.
But granting the Indifference or in
competence of the present Congress
toward vital legislation, the attitude of
the public at large toward labor's pc
litiCsl campaign is not likely to be one
of encouragement or assistance. The
American people are not unfriendly to
organized labor, but that large major
ity of American citizens who are not
members of any labor union have a
feeling that in the present economic
conditions organized labor already has
an undue advantage, and if any class
of citizens is to he favored in legisla-
ton the great mass who are not identi-
fed with labor organizations should
have look in
The attempt of the labor leaders to
strengthen their campaign by the sup
port of the farmers does not look
hopeful The largest farmers orEani-
zation, the National Grange, which
has 100000 members, will not support
organized labor's political activities,
according to its leaders Without the
farmers aid organized labor cannot
expect to control the politics of the
nation, and it is good thing for the
people who neither till the soil nor
hold union card that the interests of
these two classes are in some matters

Approximately $4,000 tons of sugar
beets were harvested this year as
compared to 10000 tons in 1919, Mr..
Douglas said. From this years pro-
duction about $4,000 tons of sugar
will be refined. Yearly state con-
sumption of sugar is around 100000
tons. Farmers who raised beets this
year were paid $12 ton, while IN
1919 but $40 a ton was paid, Mr.
Douglas declared. This price is about
one third higher than best raisers
obtain in other states, he added.
