ELECTRICIANS FAIL TO
AGREE WITH BOSSES

In spite of the conference which
were held last night by the boss
electricians ard representatives of
the electricians union and the boss
plumbers and representatives of the
plumbers union conditions remain
the same today, as when the men
first went on strike refusing to &C
cept a cut in the wage scale.
Late yesterday afternoon indiea-
lions were that some agreement be-
tween the two unions and bosses
would be reached whereby the men
would return to work. However,
neither conference resulted in either
side reaching an agreement and the
bosses and men seem to pc just as
far apart as ever This means that
the employment of non-union labor
under the American" plan or open
shop idea, which was adopted here
by the master builders will continue.
At the Building Trades Association
today, it ~was&earned that other con-
ferences between the builders and
union representatives are planned,
but whether or not they will prove
more successful that those held last
night, no one was willing to say.

Optimistic
OnOutlook
Charles S. Barrett Says Farm
or Is Hit Hard But Will
Come Back Strong
With Little Help.
Will Make Tour Of Iowa

The head OF a concern which did
nearly 81 ,000,000.000 worth of bus
mess last year was in Omaha yes
terday. ....
He looked like farmer-not one
OF the bewhiskered variety with one
galus. such as is found nowadays
only in cartoons. but with the bronz-
ed. healthy appearance OF one much
in the open air.
He is Charles s. Barrett OF Union
City, Ca. president OF the National
Farmers union. Although he has
lived all his life OH farm he is
veteran figure in. public life. having
served OH innumerablc federal boards
aud having represented American ag-
riculture at the Paris peace confer
cnce.
No calamity howlcr is Mr.. Barrett.
The farmer is hard hit but he is
going 10 come back strong. asking
only enough aid from the government
TO enable him to work out his own
salvation, he said.
Not Up to Devilment.
1--WE want only living and a little
bit Of profit" said Mr.. Barrett. "The
farmers are not up to any devilment,
and they are not attempting TO im-
prove their lot by injuring any other
line of industry. II the farmer has
a little money to spend, there is only
one place where he can spend il, and
that is in town. Whatever he gets
above the cost of producing his
crops goes right into the cities and
is passed around among the mer-
chants and working people.
"It looks to me like everyone
ought to be interested in the farmer
making something out Of his crops.
! sometimes think that ii had lived
in the city, instead of the country.
| might have been able to solve the
rural problem from that end. 1t is
strange that the towns do not re-.
alize their common interest. If the
farmers accomplished every one of
their dreams, the towns would be
better off.
Farmer Is Mainstay.
"The farmer is the mainstay o.
civilization and prosperity. When
ever any man is running for office
he wants to ride in on the rural vote.
Every hypocrite and a great many
sincere men tell us that we feed and
clothe the world and without us the
rest of the people would be in the
boneyard. If this is true. why IS
there not some united effort for re-
storing the welfare of agriculture?
Neither the farmers nor anyone
else can hope for much better busi-
ness conditions as long as railroad
rates stay where they are. The edi-
torial in today's Omaha Bee, which
points out that freight rates must be
forced down to the general level OF
other things, hit the nail on the head.
Today on my farm the watermelons
are rotting because | am afraid to
take the risk of shipping them to
market as they might not even bring
enough to pay the transportation
charges. This is only one Of thou
sands OF such instances, and hurts
the consumers as we'll as the pro-
ducers. We want to feed people bet-
ter, but we can't.
