has been disclosed Weeks before May
/ Mr.. Palmer advertised throughout
the nation that the Department of
Justice had discovered May Day bomb
plots and would fruseratc them. The
official report of the Bureau of Media
ton and Cancellation of the Depart
ment of Labor reveals the fact that
nothing was prevented as nothing was
contemplated. On May there were
so strikes before the Department of
Labor for settlement and nine new
controversies were reported as compar-
ed with thirteen and ten for the two
previous weeks, indicating a slight fall
irg off. ''The industrial situation, as
indicated by the attitude of labor, ap-
pears quite encouraging" the report
states. Commissioners of Cancellation
were unable to find any trace of wide
spread radicalism on May Day. "rhe
crux of the situation in cities, having
supposed radical tendencies, was pass
ed some weeks ago" the report con-
cludes.

Farmers on Their Guard

( North Dakota's record in the matter
of taxation has been pretty well ad
vertised throughout the country, witt

West, where the travelling agents OF
the Non-Partisan League were quite

enthusiasm from anything that has too
radical flavor. Especially in the
past season or two, his experiences
with radical labor movements during
harvest, and the difficulty of securing
dependable help at any time even at
exorbitant prices, has made him very
reluctant about upsetting things just

Mexican Conditions Improved

Protection to foreigners appears TO
be the strict policy of the revolution
airy forces in Mexico. As towns and
cities have successfully fallen under
their control, specific assurances have
been given that the rights of foreign
crs would be scrupulously recognized.
In every community redeemed from
the Carranzistas the populace has turn
cd out in celebration of their deliver
ance, and there is every indication that
the advert of the new government is
to mark new era in the foreign rela-
tions and domestic affairs of Mexico.
Had not the Carranza government
been enabled to retain its power thru
the support of the Wilson admiristra-
tion at Washington, it is probable that
the oppression of tie Mexic2ns and
the persecution of Americans and Other
foreigners in that country would have
ceased years ago.

No Improvement in Farm Labor

A 3 per cent decrease in food produc-
ton in New York seems inevitable ac-
cording to Bureau of Crop Estimates
which says:
Farmers dependent on hired labor
find it costs a fifth more than last
season, and as they do not expect a
corresponding increase in price of the
farm products there is general ten
dency to raise what they can by them
selves and let the rest go. Number of
hired men on farms of this state is
16 per cent less than last year and 3S
per ceat less than normal for this
time of year"
From New York to California the
reports are the same and falling off
in planted acreage is reported in many
states. How can cost of living be re-
duced with such a condition End labor
agitators clamoring for still higher pay
and yet shorter hours?

WASHINGTON NOTES
Railroad Treasures Depleted? ?

Washington, May 17.-'At the re-
cent hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the Senate,
the statement was made by MIR. ).
Davies Warfield of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad that when the Railroad
many of them had millions in their
treasures, but the administration
turned them back without dollar in
their treasures. This is u statement
that has been made many times be-
fore, and without denial. Coming from
man occupying the high position
held by Mr. Warfield, the charge can
scarcely be ignored. Mr.. McAdoo has
some very definite explaining to do,
unless he is prepared to deny the
statement point blank.
THE railroads are now without
funds, adequate equipment, or normal
credit. Stockmen of the western
states assert tina. they are losing mil
lions of dollars because of the delay in
shipping stock through inability to get
ears when the csttle, sheep and hogs
are ready. Every days delay means
extra feed, additional care, loss of
weight and inability to take advantage
of favorable markets. Fruit growers
on the Pacific Coast complain of lack
of cars, as also do lumbermen and
other shippers. More cars and more
engines are absolutely necessary to
bring the roads up to a condition that
will meet the needs of domestic and
foreign commerce. In such a situa-
ton as that, it is a grave charge that
when the government took over the
roads many of them had many millions
in their treasures and when it turned
them back they had not a dollar.
That such 4 condition existed may
well be believed in view of the record
Of the Wilson admin '5tration in hand
ling Federal finances. June 80, 1913,
the end of the las. fiscal year under
Republican revenues and appropria-
tions, found a balance Of $164, ,7O3 $50
in the general fund of the Treasury,
and the receipts for the yeTr exceeded
the expenditures by $40,00O.OOO. At
the end of the first fiscal year under
the Wilson Administration, the balance
in the general fund had dropped to
sS2.025,716 and the expenditures for
the year exceeded the revenues by $685.
