PRESII1ElNIs HI MI TALKS PLAIN.
~ IY TO LABOR

G.. w. Hunt, of Logan, president of
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation,
made a speech recently at FIT. Dodge,
when he spoke at a labor meeting. Wal.
| laces' Farmer says the speech differed
! from others in that Mr.. Hunt did not
! try to tell his audience the things they
would like to hear. His speech, there.
fore, was not as popular rs those of
some others, who put the blame for con-
ditions on the other fellow. Mr.. Hunt
showed that he had sympathy with the
| aboring men, but that he could not
approve Of strikes. He also spoke very
/ plainly about his attitude toward the
capitalist. After presenting the eco
nomic conditions affecting the produc:
! crs, manufacturers, laborers and the
| consumer, Mr.. Hunt stated as, follows.
! II have been trying to show that
! union labor itself can not gain ground
/ by the use of strikes and lockouts. |
! have shown you that in every case the
! increase in wage, unless taken from
capital. reflects back on labor itself. AS
a producer and a consumer have also
shown that except in one instance the
raise in wages results in u double price
rejecting on the farmer. 1t was so in
the railroad advance given by the Unit
ed States, railroad. administration. In
the case of a, recent strike at the Union
Stock Yards, in Chicago, the increased
pay was met by raising the yardage
charge and the farmer pays the Fin-
crease. Not only: do the farmers bur;
dens and your. own increase with the
boosting of wages and shortening of
,, hours of work, but the strikes and
lockouts brought by labor have caused
loss to-the farmers that can hardly
be estimated. 1t will run into millions
OF dollars. ,ya&
1.-THE recent strike of yardmen when
they, walked out Saturday night at mid,
night, with train loads of our. farmers.
stock already headed towards Chicago
brought big loss to the farmers in
the way of shrink, 1luctuation of prices
and the Inconvenience of recalling the;
stock and divertings 1t to other markets.
This was followed by the switchmen's
strike, that upset markets and cost the
farmers who are the cattle. hog and
sheep feeders of the United States from
$500 to $500 per car. The coal strike
that said to the people: "Stand and de.
liver, or starve and freeze and die of
pneumonia" brought us near nation:
al calamity and these acts have turned
public opinion against you.
I'VE approve of every honest effort
of labor to improve it's status. but we
insist it must be in accordance with the
! American idea of law and order. Wher
| you are right, we will do all we can tc
