urday. This was taken to mean that
the strike would go into effect on Mon
day. The operators offered a wage in
crease of one shilling a day to start
with and later two shillings, the min
ers to guarantee a certain minimum
of production. The men had a suspi-
cion that they were to be tricked into
doing more work, and rejected the Of
fer by a vote of about five to one.
The miners strike, it was admitted,
would throw hundreds of thousands of
workers in other industries out of en-
ployment and bring about a serious
crisis in the country's economic lie.
The iron and steel manufacturers in
the Yorkshire districts at once be-
gan preparations to shut down their
plants. The government for weeks has
been getting ready to handle the stu
alton. There was a chance that the
other members of the triple alliance
the railway men and transport work
ers-would be able to set up machin-
cry for mediation and at least delay
the strike.

That the price reduction movement
which appeared to be really started
recently would not please everyone
was a certainty. The trend black to-
ward normal made hit with the con-
sumner, but not with the producer.
Now the latter is protesting vigorous
ly, the lead being taken by the grow
ers of wheat, cotton and tobacco and
the live stock men. The wheat men
want So bushel and the cotton men
40 cents pound. Leading agriculture
al producers met in Washington, voiced
their griefs, talked of a farmers strike
and adopted resolutions severely criti-
cizing government financial authori-
ties and calling on them for aid in
bringing about higher prices. Senator
f. d. Smith of South Carolina urged
that the farmers curtail production
and withhold their crops from the mar
ket until prices were satisfactory. For
this he was criticized by Benjamin g.
Marsh, secretary of the Farmers Ma
tional council, who said:
"We must guard against some of the
wild statements made here. There is
no panic. Let's get away from Boil
shevik statements.
81 was astounded when Senator
Smith suggested that the farmers
strike, for that's what it amounts to.
If / am not mistaken, he voted for the
bill to make strikes by labor a fell
ony. When senators get up and say
they don't understand the federal re-
serve act, think it is time we should
get few farmers In the senate. The
farmers are not going to stop produc-
ing, but the farmers can call the bluff
of the federal reserve board"
DIR. w. ]. Spillman, former chief Of
the board of farm management Of the
Department of Agriculture, said: at
is quite clear that the federal reserve
board and the secretary of the treas
ury are using the authority placed in
their hands for the purpose of ma
nipulating the market"
Next day w. P. G. Harding, COVER
nor of the federal reserve board, con-
ferred with the producers and under
took to pacify them. He urged them
to keep cool, and expressed the belief
there will be reaction from present
low prices. He told them he favored
putting their crops on the market grad
ually. He warned against any attempt
to withhold commodities, and point
ed to the recent financial panic in
Japan and the present Cuban sugar
situation as examples Of what might
follow efforts to boost prices to arti.
fetal heights.
