third that they eonspired to mo-
nopolize the trade by securing
control Of firms and fixing prices,
and, fourth, that they conspired

The indictments were obtained

OF production here and abroad, and
nothing more. | believe the job can

Mr. Lowell said agricultural condlr

discouraging. largely because the cost
of labor had not come down. He said
he looked for drop in labor cost

plenty OF labor was in 'idleness the
cost wouldn't come down till some Of

Of labor on the farm would come lown
he had no doubt whatsoever
Labor will come down." he de-
clared emphatically, .1because it must
come down. Otherwise the farmer
