EQUITY INDORSES STRIKE Oh
FARMERS
1Sf 900 Iowa Farmers Now Hold
Their Grain.

With the announcement by the
Iowa branch of the American Soc
iety of Equity that its membership
would strongly support the Iowa
Farmers federation and the Iowa
Farmers in their strike for higher
prices for grains, every farmers or
ginazation in the state is now in the
movement
In addition to the union and the
federation, the Farm Grange had
previously announced the intention
Of its membership to stick with the
ship" until higher prices were Sc
cured. The total membership of the
four ORGANIZATIONS Is ISL 900. Con-
Sequently, nearly all farmers in the
state are now parties to the strike,
inasmuch as the 1920 census shows
that there are only 205,0 farmers
in Iowa.
The American Society of Equity
has membership roll of 5000.
The announcement of its intention
to join the strikers was contained
in letter to 7. A. Hougas, presi-
dent of the farmers union in which
1t was stated that the organization
would do all in their power to fur
ther tie movement and that il
would stand solidly behind the in
structions of Hougas and Of 4. II.
Cunningham. secretary of the farm
federation.
According to Hougas, the strike
has already begun to accomplish
IT'S results. While no increases in
prices have been recorded, the
downward trend, he says, has been
effectively stemmed
Whereas, before the strike,
prices were dropping every day."
Hougas stated yesterday, "at pres
ent there is no decrease since the
strike was first called more than a
week ago"
Communication of the strike
movement In Iowa was contained in
a letter to Hougas, received yester-
day from the national headquarters
OF the farmers union. In this letter
it was stated that, at present prices,
il would take practically twice as
much produce to pay the taxes nee
essary to working off the nations
great war debt, as it would have
taken few months ago.
II was also stated that unless the
federal reserve board and the banks
co-operated with the farmers in
financing them, the latter could not
possibly continue TO produce in the
manner they have been.
With the war over, the letter
stated, the obligation of the farmer
10 show his patriotism by producing
bumper crops is also ended. A CO.
operative system OF marketing be-
tween farmers was advised, and the
strike was said to be necessary to
the welfare of the producers.

Dublin, December 26.-Two men who fired on the crown forces today at Trailee were shot dead by the mil- tary when they tried to escape. They had revolvers and dumdum bullets in their possession.
 An Associated Press dispatch from Cork says 30 armed and marked raid CTS invaded the offices of the Cork Ex aminer Christmas eve, broke the ma chinery with hammers. wrecked parts of the building with explosives and set fire to the property. They escaped be- fore the arrival of the police. The fire was extinguished, but the other dam age was very extensive.
 The raiders, who wore civilian cloth ing. said they were acting under "or- ders of the Irish republic" They forced their way through the front entrance, carrying sledge hammers with which they smashed two large printing presses. Cutting the telephone wires, they proceeded to place bombs and sticks of delignite under the ma chimes, some O. which were blown to pieces.
 It is believed the attack was caused by the attitude of the Examiner on the recent pastoral letter issued by the bishop of Cork.

RULE CRUMBL.ING: REGULARS CLOSING IN ON PLUME
Monk Eastman Gang Victim; Notorious New York Gunrnan And World War Hero Is Slain

for lesser crimes burglary, smuggling Of narcotics and disposing of stolen goods.
 The last time Eastman appeared on police records was in 1915 when he was arrested, pleaded guilty to rob bery and was sentenced to two years in ptison. on his release in October l9l7 he enlisted in the army as doughboy m the One Hundred and Sixth infantry of the Twenty seventh division. He was then 45 years old,
 After the war he was honorably discharged, but lacked the rights of citizenship because he had been con- victed of felony. Governor Smith. in restoring the soldiers civic status. acted on the recommendations of the regiments offices. The aetter of Lieut.. J. A, Kerrigan, of Company G., read;
 During the attack on Vierstaat Ridge Eastman was wounded and taken to a casualty clearing station He remained there oniy three days, for upon hearing that the regiment expected to go into the line again he escaped from the hospital, equipped himself from a salvage dump, joined his company and was in action throughout the entire FIindenbdrg line show His conduct was examplary and he has never been reported for absence without leave or other off, fenseT
 Another incident related to the governor was that Eastman had gone over the top" on his hands and knees with grenades with which to attack a German machine gun nest. The enemy fire was so intense that his pack was sheared from his back, but he gained his objective.

New York, December 26.-"M MouiS' Eastman. oncespleader of notorious gang that terrorized the lower east side. convicted felon but restored to citizenship as a reward for heroism as soldier in the great war, was slain shortly before daybreak today by some one unknown,
 Eastman's body. bearing five bullet wounds. was found by policeman at the corner of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue. Nearby, on the steps of a subway entrance, lay revolver with five empty shells. In the dead mans pockets were $l40 q watch and chain, and a Christmas card The presence of the valuab bles indicated to the police that the killing of East man probably was not part of the prevailing crime wave but the result of a vendetta.
 Eastman, whose right name was William Delaney, had a youthful ca reer that was lurd even for under world annals. The son of wealthy and indulgent parents, he chose as his companions the gangsters of the one time toughest district in New York. near Fourteenth street and Third ave nue- only block from where he this morning was killed.
 A dozen years ago "The Monk" Eastman gang was composed of gum men, burglars and drug addtcts, and the police claimed to have traced score of murder mysteries to the zone in which the gangsters operated Their leader, however, served terms

The aviation field captured is at Grob- nico. The DAnnunzio troops evacuated these points without offering the slightest resistance.
 At points from the shore northward the DAnnunzio line gave way and the regulars advanced half a kilometre It was a simultaneous movement from three sides.
 The movement from the direction of Udine was effected by an oyerwhelm-

Athens. December 26.-Constantine assembled his family for Chri stmas dinner yesterday although the Greek Christmas comes 13 days later.
 The foreigners in Athens celebrated the day, but otherwise the only sign of Christmas was evergreen branches .ar- ried at the mastheads of the American destroyers anchored off Phaleron, :, UT miles from Athens, and off the Trachili promonotory. Constantine, during the afternoon, strolled in the gardens about his castle and received dozens of yisi- tors.
 The exchange rate is steady, and is being supported by the government.
 The refusal of Admiral Kelly, head of the British naval mission here, to ac- cept the Grand Gordon of the Royal Order of the Savior. is discouraging those who were sure O. a change in the British attitude because of the need of the Greek army iT< Asia Minor. The Greeks are adopting a wait and sec" policy declaring for the allies, and against Germany. A man who shouted, Hong Live the King and the Kaiser" was beaten and locked up today,
 Jugo- Slavia has announced that be- fore renewing her alliance with Greece she will wait until the allies have de- clared their policy.

CHURCH COUNCIL
 CR|T|C|ZES OPEN
 SHOP CAMP PA|GNS
Report Represents 31 Protes- tant Denominations and De- cIares Employer Uses Co.,
 ercion on Union Men
By Ass,,ciated Press

New York, December 26-The > open shop campaign in American industry was criticized as an effort to destroy the or ganized labor movement, in statement issued today by the Commission of the Church and Social Service of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ :n America. This council is composed of representatives of 3 Protestant denomi- nations having membership of about 19.5oo,ooo. The statement follows:
 "The relations between employers and workers throughout the United States are seriously affected at this moment by campaign which is being conducted for the open shop policy-the so-callei American rian' of employment. These terms are now being frequently used to designate establishments athat are deft- nitely anti-mlion. Obviously, shop of this kind is not an open shop but a closed shop--closed against members of labor un ions.
 We feel impelled to call public atten- tion to the fact that very widespread impression exists that the present open shop campaign is inspired in many quar- ters by this sntagonism to union labor. Many disin.erested persons are convinced that an attempt is being made to de- stroy the organized lalor movement. Any such attempt must be viewed with ap- prehension by fair-minded people.
 When, for example, an applicant for work is compelled to sign contract pledging himself against utilization with a union, or when a union man is dis charged or refused employment, merely 'on the ground of union membership the employer is using coercive methods and IS violating he fundamental principle of an open shop. Such action is unfair and inimical to economic freedom and to the interest of society as is corresponding coercion exercised by labor bodies in be- half of the closed shop
 Ut seems incumbent upon Christian employers to scrutinize carefully any movement, however plausible. which IS likely to resplt in denying to the work CTS such affiiation as will in their judg- ment best safeguard their interests and promote their welfare, and to precipita e disastrous industrial conflicts at time when the country needs good will anu cooperation between employers and eni- ployes."

Senator Harrison of MssissippL and other democrats opposing the bill, plan to use every parliamentary tactic in their power in a play for time. They do not hope to prevent ultimate com mittee reference, however.
 Prospects are that there will be a much moro solid democratic lineup agains tariff Legislation in the Sen ate than in the House. and republican leaders accordingly plan to forego formal hearings before the committee and hasten action in other ways. The majority leaders coneede privately that intermina ble debate in the Senate is in prospect and see light possibli- ty of obtaining the necessary two thirds vote to invoke cloture.
 Secretary Houston of the treasury department, Will resume his statement regarding national finances tomorrow before the finance committee. The secretary has been asked especially for specific advice regarding the bill for increased compensation to former service men.
