OF Concrete Road

-gEGELl-s1.5 eHU-1.t La .. l.- Mo
Il Consideration of the feasibility of
the plan for the city and county to CO.
operate In the construction of a con-
crete surface road to the plant of the
Northern Packing Co, under the force
account system, part of the expense
being borne by the federal govern
ment under the federal road aid plan
has been placed III the hands iot :,
joint committee ST the city council
and county commissioners.
The committee is expected to re-
port back to the county commission
ers on April 20.
Although the county now has some
road machinery which is available for
this work, it would also be necessary
to obtain quite a large amount Of such
material and it is a question as to
whether or not it would be economical
to do this for the one job.
In any case it is unlikely that the
work will be actually begun before the
latter part of May or early in June.

ROCKY FORD MEETING
Arkansas Valley Growers and Manu-
facturers Meet and Discuss Con-
tract for Year but Reach
no Agreement

The meeting held last week at Rocky
Ford of the sugar beet growers of the
valley and the representatives of the
three sugar companies which have
factories in the valley resulted in a
general exchange of ideas between the
two interests but reached no new con-
clusions and matters stand about as
they were as regards the 1920 con-
tracts. Representative of the Holly
Sugar Co., which operates the Swink
factory, the National Sugar Co. at
Sugar City, and the American Beet
Sugar Co., with factories at several
points met the growers and discussed
the situation. All agreed in the state
ment that the present tendency of the
sugar market was downward and it
would be impossible under the prob
able future conditions for the sugar
rate provided by the contracts now
out. The growers stood out for
higher rate and while the arguments
were friendly no definite agreements
were reached. The A. b. S. Co. of
ficials stated that the sliding scale
contract described in these columns
last week was open to all farmers who
wanted to take a sporting chance on
the market but also frankly told the
growers that under the present market
indications the S12 flat rate looked
like much the best contract for the
elimination of the irrigation section
of the $12 contract, but the companies
claimed this was impossible with the
present sugar percentage of the beets
raised in the valley.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
Wilson Encourages Soviet Policies


Washington, Mar. 24.-(Special cor
respondence) e)-Congressman Simeon
ID. Fess of Ohio, Chairman of the Re
publican Congressional Committee, has
issued a warning to American labor
against the present dangers of radical
leadership, which include a change in
the law of contract. Mr.. Fess charges
that President Wilson, in urging that
labor be admitted 10 the management
of industry, is opening the door to the
sovietizing Of industry, because if la
bar secures such representation by de-
manding it as a right, il will be but
short time before they demand
majority, and when that is granted
complete sovietization will have been
achieved. In a recent address before
the New England League of Repub-
lican Clubs in Boston, Congressman
Fess spoke as follows:
This Administration, markedly So
cialistic from the beginning, has used
the war to capitalize theories. Presi-
dent Wilson talks freely and frequent
ly of the necessity of putting wages
on new footing. The present foot
ing of wages is that of contract. or
course, he means from the footing of
contract between employer and en-
ployee to the soviet scheme, in which
the employer is displayed by the COM
mittee of employees, in which there
is no contract.
His much talked characterization
Of industry, in which he demands that
industry must be compelled to admit
labor in the management is, of course,
the open door to sovietizing industry;
for if labor by its own right can de-
mand representation in the directorate
of business, it can of its own right
and will demand a majority of it,
which is complete sovietization. The
Presidents fondness for socialism is
seen in the mately group of self-ad-
vertisers collected about the Admin
istration. The roll is a long one. The
Department of Labor is especially
overloaded. The public readily recalls
Frank p. Walsh, Louis Post, Frederic
C. Howe, John B. Densmore and
George Creel at the head of the bu-
reau full of Socialists, if not of Boil
shevik beliefs. 1t is not unfair to men
tion the Secretary of War in connec-
tion with peculiar 'isms' 1t will be
recalled that the President wrote his
fluctuations to the Soviet Conference
at Brest-Litovsk, the first Bolshevik
venture, and in that connection it
would be well to read the reply as
printed in the New York Timss.

'The .fondness of the present head
of the Government for such men as
William C. Bullitt, Lincoln Steffens,
George d. Heron and the crew of sa-
tellites taken to Paris, and his willing
ness to advise the Prinkipo conference
with the Bolsheviki indicate the strides
this Government has taken recently in
unstabilizing the institutions of Amer
lea. In a brief space of time the
most substantial of all governments
has become topic of concern in
which Russian sovietism is favored by
high authority.
81 warn American labor against the
dangers of radical leadership which de-
mands change in the law Of contract.
| also warn the republic against this
class legislation. Anything that is
against the public welfare cannot be
in the interest of labor. That is way,
in the solution of such questions as
the rail problem, the Plumb plan was
simply impossible. | will admit that
profit in behalf of ready investment
must be respected; income in behalf
of the security holder must also be
respected, and wages in behalf of the
laborer must be respected. But be-
yond all this economic management
and efficient service must be respect
ed in behalf of the vast public which
pays all the bills"

No Groups" Wanted
