Chicago, Nov. 1S.--Advice to farm
ers to curtail production activities

given in statements made today by
j. r. Howard, president Of the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation, and
G. w. Hunt, of Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation. They declared that the
market price Of many farm products
was below the cost of production,
and while not contemplating a farm
ers' strike, urged producers to "slow
down. until prices adjust them
selves.
prices are frightfully low" Mr.
Howard said. "All farm products
have declined in price, the average
arrived at this week approximately
76 per cent. The farmer doesn't think
he ought to take a 72 per cent reduce
tion/and be compelled to buy cloth
ing and farm machinery at Is per
cent reduction. When other COM
modities come down to our products
we will go ahead with production.
I'VE believe there Is no great sur
plus of foodstuffs. Wheat this year is
under production. Oats are normal.
There is an Cverproduction Of rice
and corn but all meats are short. 1t
is matter OF adjustment and supply
and demand"
No Strike in Iowa.
NJ Hunt declared that the Iowa
federation did not contemplate q
strike and was not in favor Of one.
He gave figures showing that the
cost of production was moro than the
market price in several cases. Wheat,
which, he said, cost s1.SS bushel to
produce. was selling at about $3.50,
and corn costing the farmer about 81
was selling at so to so cents.
Prices are too iow," Mr.. Hunt de-

LABOR CLEANING HOUSE..
American Federation Gets Rid q
Fitzpatrick, Foster and Others.

American Federal on Gets Rid OF
Fitzpatrick, Foster and Others.
Washington, Nov. 1S.-The execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor yesterday ousted John
J. Fitzpatrick, president of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, and Will
liam Foster from the committee to
unionize the steel workers.
Fitzpatrick and Foster directed the
strike last year around which clus-
tered intimidataed and outspoken
radicalism.
Fitzpatrick was replaced by NJ. r.
Tighe, / recognized labor conserva-
tive, and Foster by J. G. Brown, also
a conservative.
It appears that there is a feeling
that the council should deal emphat-
ically with radicals within their
ranks and that conservatism must
characterize labor's leadership, be-
cause organized labor can not hope
to exert great power If it's founda-
tions are weakened by radical doc
trines and because the federal ad-
ministration will be- conservative.
There was no indication as to
means which may be adopted by Ia
Dor to reach common ground with
CAPITAL on the subject of the radicals.
Tt may be, however, that pressure
against the radicals will be exerted
by refusing sanction of their strikes.
I Speakers continue to blame capital
for autocratic and, in some cases, in
efficient management, 1t was said. !
Z The council was described, how
ever, as tending toward a policy
which employers might indorse,
should unemployment compel labor
to ask for jobs rather than ask what
the employer will pay
A memorial to congress\ recon-
mending exhaustive legislation to as
sist labor during the period of defla-
ton was partly completed by the ex-
ecutive council today.
Among the recommendations were:
That all Immigration, particularly
from southern Europe, be prohibited
for a least a year.
That penalties be inflicted upon in
dustrial corporations which close
their doors or curtail production for
the purpose of reducing wages or
without sufficient cause.
That courts of industrial arbitra-
ton be authorized to recognize the
principle of trade unionism and the
rights of employees to quit en- masse
when they can not secure redress in
any other way.

our concern must be in q dependable
prosperity which is shared.
We want fortune common pos

wide producers strike to combat the

urged in a call sent out today by the
National Farmers Union to it's local
unions thruout the country, repre-
senting producers of grain, cotton,
wool and live stock said to number
SOC, 900.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal deflation in
prices Of farm products, thru which
it was asserted American farmers
have been robbed of s1.000.e00.o0o in
reduced. value of products now OH
hand.
All farmers were appealed to to
hold this years production from the
market until profit-making levels
were restored.
The action Of the National Farmers
Union was in line with q wheat
strike" called several weeks ago by
the Wheat Growers Association of
the United States. Delegates asserted
a considerable quantity of this years
wheat crop was being held off the
market by farmers.
Threaten Reduced Production.
Reduction of production in the fu-
ture was threatened unless the
prices Of our products are fairly re-
adjusted to the end that we may OBJ
tain just returns for our labors and
investments" in another resolution
approved by the convention.
Officials of the organization pofn.
ted out that the members were not
under obligations to obey the terms
Of the strike, but expressed the be-
lief that such a movement would be
effective.
A conference Of representatives of
all farmer organizations Of the coun
try was called to meet in st. Louis
Dec. 16 to consider the creation Of a
national farm marketing board.
The resolutions calling for the
strike were adopted in executive ses-
sion last evening and announced later
by officers Of the organization.
Adoption was preceded by consider
able discussion, officials said.
Not Seeking Corner.
Concerning the ST. Louis meeting
to create national farm marketing
board Charles S. Barrett, Of Union
City, Ca, who was elected president
of the union for the fifteenth con-
secutive time, said today:
"The purpose Of the meeting IS
not to form or create a corner but
to find a reasonable, rational way to
market our products. The urban
population should welcome such
step. as it is the instability of the
market that has caused inflated
prices for them"
: Other resolutions adopted at the
executive session, officials said today
included one urging strict enforce
ment of the immigration laws and
deportation of aliens seeking to over
throw the government.
Legislation for the recall Of United
States senators and representatives
also was urged.
The meeting here will conclude
late today.

Ramey and Thompson Women Sue
cumbed to Exposure and Alcohol.

, s
Chicago. Nov. 1S.-The Grant park
death mystery entered its final stage
last night. The police had rounded up
ard questioned all but one~of the for
men who escorted Miss Marie RaslA-
and Miss LILLIAN Thompson. actresses,
to the roadway at the east edge of The
park where their bodies We're found
early Sunday morning.
The three prisoners, who range in
age from ] 8 to 20 years, have con-
fesSed. Their names are:
Harris Jorsensen,a son of Mrs. c.
II. Jorgenson 1928 Magnolia avenue,
a mechanic in Clark's garage, Broad

Lawrence Jorgensen,/ boatswain's
mate stationed at Camp Lucee, Great

baker at 3S19 Broadway.
The fourth member of the auto, n
lake boat cook of the name of Nc
'Carthy~is being sought.
The. clearing up of the mystery thru
the three confessions brought forth
these revelations;
That the Women found dead in
Grant Park were intoxicated before
they met the automobile party on
Saturday night.
That previous to their desertion in
the park they had been attacked by
at least two members of the auto
party.
That they died of alcoholic ex-
haustion and exposure.
That apparently they had lost or
spent the $50 intrusted to them by
their consorts, Meek and Mccarthy.
before meeting the men with whom
they took their last wild auto ride.
That the deep cut on the hand of
the Thompson woman came from a
broken wine bottle from which she
had been drinking, and was not re-
ceived during a struggle, as had been
thought.
The confessions of Harris Jorgen-
sen and the Rrumberg boy have been
found to agree in every detail. The
statement of Lawrence Jorgensen.
however contained many things de-
