LOSE
IN CORN DROP
$3.50, 100000 Lost in Corn to the
Farmers Of the Corn Belt-Total
Loss on Farm Products, Based on
Production Cost is $4,000, O00, 900.

Chicago.-The present price of
corn is Is cents bushel under cost
giving a loss of more than $3.50, 0O0,-
900.
The total loss on all farm products,
on the basis Of cost of production,
will be not ess than $4,000, 900, 900.
Here, then, are the effects of the
only price reduction that has taken
place. All the farmers profits are
absorbed, and $1o.oo0.ooo, 900 besides.
Is this orderly reduction of prices !?
It is true that these losses to the
farmers will not precipitate crisis
not now. ut how long can the nation
survive this ruinous systematized
robbery of the industry upon which
its very life depends?
Possibly for ten, twenty or even
fifty years. And possibly the effects
may never be felt as a sudden crisis.
The farmer may retrench, as he has
done before. He may work harder.
Hundreds Of thousands of farmers
may give up the struggle, and others
take their places; but all this, even
entrenchment, below the level of eff
cient subsistence and harder work,
beyond the line of physical endur-
ance, will mean ultimate loss. Soil
robbery will be intensified and the
nation sometime will pay-the world
will pay-in decreased comforts; in
depleted supplies; in lessened energy;
in want; in famine; in starvation and
death.

Toilette told the truth when he said
in St. Paul that the Lusitania, on the
occasion of its sinking, carried ex-
plosives consigned to the British.
Mr.. Malone wrote the report on the
Lusitania upon which President Will
son based his second Lusitania note.
The report showed that the Lusi-
tania carried great quantities of am
munition consigned to the British and
particularly detailed one consignment
of 4,20O cases of Springfield metallic
cartridges, which contained total of
II tons of black powder, he said.

POWDER WAGON
BLEW UP n. Y.
Famous Chemist Shows That Dupont
Powder Wagon Probably Caused
Death and Damage.
RED PLOT" IS
ENTIRELY DISCREDITED

New York, IN. Y. Bureau)-Stren-
uous efforts are being made by the
big daily newspapers here to discred-
it the report of an exhaustive inves-
tigation of the Wall Street explosion,
made for the Department of Justice
by DR.. Walter T. Scheele, a chemist,
who was deep in the confidence of the
United States government through
out the war.
DR.. Scheele's report, which covers
20 typewriter pages, declares that
SO pounds of blasting gelatin caused
the tragic detonation in front of the
J. P. Morgan and Company offices on
September 16. This substance, COM
prised of 90 parts of nitroglycerin and
parts of nitro cellulose, is a COM
mercial product used extensively in
excavation work.
Four weeks were spent by DR..
Scheele in his analysis of the explo-
sion mystery. While the details of
his report have not been made public,
the verdict that blasting gelatin was
used sets aside the red plot" the
cries of the authorities and throws
the responsibility close to the door
of the DUPONT Nemours Company
which sells large quantities of explo-
sive gelatin in the SO and proper
ton.
This new revelation recalls the evil
,ence of Isaac Russell, reporter for
the Evening Mail. who was at the
tragedy scene within five minutes af-
ter the explosion and saw the wreck
age Of red wagon there. When
Russell asked T. Coleman Dupont,
who happens to be a special deputy
police commissioner. whetheIsthe Du-
Point company had checked up to see
il any of its wagons had been in the
Wall Street district that day, DUPONT
tried to evade the question.
But when Russell persisted DUPONT
finally answered CURLY, 80 far ~
we have sseertained, none Of our
wagons were In this district"

strong statement against the dirrc,
means Of preventing war now bcco,n.
ing so popular In Europe, there arc
signs that organized labor on this side
Of the water will not he proof against
the idea.
Organized labor Of important Euro.
pean countries, in n great meeting held
recently at Amsterdam, decided to use
direct action against war. The fac.
tory workers would refuse to make the
munitions, the railroad mon would rc-
fuse to transport them. and il they got
to the seaport docks by any other
means the dock workers and sailors
would refuse to help them toward the
destination agreed upon by the polit,.
clans.
Recently the association Of machin-
lists, In a convention at Rochester.
N. Y. adopted the following rcSolu-
ton:
Modern wars are fought with ma.
chinery created and fashioned nv mn.
chinists and related craftsmen in all
countries. who, In the light "r recon,
events, must bear the responsibility
for future wars. We believe this
power used wisely will do more to
abolish war than the statesmen and
diplomats"
The conservatives will argue that
for labor to refuse to handle munitions
is to set aside representative govern.
mcnt and a great case can he made
out on that score to the effect that II
peoples do not want war they should
elect officials who will represent them
rather than the war proftecring in
terests. On the other hand European
labor argues that 1t can not dispince
the ruling class governments In time
to save Europe from absolute ruin by
war, and that after all Ia suid and
done the conservation Of human life
and the restoration Of normal living
are the supremacy important things.

COSTELLO GIVEN
OVATION ON RETURN
Manager of Federated Press, Deport-
ed from England, Given Welcome
in New York-English Labor Pro-
tests,


New York, Oct. SON. Y. Bu-
leau)-Cheered by a large group of
friends and representatives Of labor
organizations, f. J. Costello, manag-
ing editor of The Federated Press, ar
rived this morning on the Cunard
Liner Aquitania.
The fact that Mr.. Costello had at
the close of ten weeks work of es-
tablishing foreign connections for
The Federated Press, been suddenly
ordered deported from England, lent
a special significance to the demon
stration at the pier. Flowers, ban
ners and lusty cheers greeted him as
he landed. No attempt to detain
him was made by any officials at the
port, but the deportation incident is
by no means closed, Mr.. Costello said.
II shall take the matter up before
the State Department" the editor de-
clared. "No cause for the issuance
of the order exists, and no explana-
ton has been offered as yet"
The deportation order was signed
by E. w. Short, under-secretary for
England, and was served by Inspec-
tor Gosgrove of Scotland Yard on O.
tober 81, two days before he had
planned to sail from England, Mr..
Costello said. The Inspector allowed
him his liberty, but met him at the
Waterloo station as he left the morn
ing of the 23rd, travelled with him
to Southampton and put him on the
Aquitania.
Due to the intercession of Arthur
Henderson, secretary of the Parlia-
mentary Labor Party, the papers
taken from Mr.. Costello during a
search of his room at the Hotel Cur
ION, were returned to him before he
left the country. "A conference of
Labor party officials was held directly
after the order Of deportation, and
the strength of British organized Ia
Dor put formally behind MI. Costello.
Lord Riddell, who as head of the
British Proprietary Journalist Associ-
alton, is the dean of the newspaper
world of England, protested to the
as did many other prom
inent individuals.
Among the committee welcoming
the head of the Federated Press
were Albert De Silver and Roger
Baldwin, directors of the American
Civil Liberties Union, A. Potovsl<y Of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
Abraham Baroff of the international
Ladies Garment Workers, Ernest
Bohm, secretary Of the Central Fed
Grated Union, DR.. Judah L. Magnes,
Lincoln Steffens, Arthur Gleason, and
delegate groups from the Liberator,
The Metal Workers, Printing Press
men, Rand School of Social Science,
and other organisations.
The rank and file of labor will greet |
the returned editor In Q mass meet
ing Of welcome TO be held November
sth In the Cooper Union under the
auspices Of the Civil Liberties Union.
Frank p. Walsh. DR.. Aagnes and
Mr.. Costello will speak. Several
