Land No Longer Cheap

Amherst, Mass, June 18.-Fifty
years ago there was land in .abun-
dance for all, and it could be had
for the mere living on it for 81
and SO an acre, said Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace in a speech at
the Massachusetts Agricultural col
lege.
To-day that land is selling at
from 500 to $500 an acre." said
the cabinet official, Fifty years
ago the young farmer who had the
will to work, who had a good wife,
and who had saved enough money
to buy a team and few simple
implements, could move into the
great west with almost certain as
surance that after time he could
own his own farm and home. To-
day a capital equal to from $780,
900 to $4,000 is required to carry
on farming in the great surplus
producing states. The matter of
financial credit, therefore, has be-
| problems.
greatest speculator in the world, in
that his business is subject to risks
againt which he has not yet learn
ed how to insure. He is at the mer-
cy of the weather. He can not
control production, as can the man.
ufacturer. He has nothing to say
about the price, and indeed, does
not know until six months or a
year after the work is done what
his wages, as represented by the
price he gets for his crops, will
| be.
"Hence the higher financial re-
wards of farming have been paid
not for conscientious productive eff
fort, but for shrewd speculative in
genuity, a decidedly bad system of
+ economy"

Label Committees Report

The label committee finished its
report, giving the convention what
President Gompers described from
the chair as "a treatise on the union
label" The convention upheld the
label committee in amending a reso-
luton providing that A. f. of l..
delegates must wear only label
garments. The amendment urges
the wearing of such garments, but
does not make it mandatory. 1t
was the view of the convention
that to make the wearing of label
garments mandatory would defeat
the purpose of the resolution and
that the provision in any event
would be unenforceabe. voluntary
action" the keynote of A. f. of L..
policy, gained the day over COM

John Mooney Talks to the
Convention

John Mooney, brother of Tom
Mooney, today appealed to the A.
f. of l.. convention for continued
support in the fight to free the man
now in prison under life sentence.
John Mooney declared that OK
man (of the chief witnesses against
Tom Mooney was bribed by the
Chamber of Horrors" and went
into details regarding other wit
nesses who, he said had been kept
off the witness stand by former
District Attorney Fickert.
John Mooney declared that, if
released, Tom would stand by the
A. f. of L., because there ''is
room for only one labor movement
in America"
Describing the work of the pros
ecution Mooney said policeman
Draper Head was chef instructor
for the witnesses who procured
themselves for the blood money
that was put up by the capitalists.
He has gone to the mayor of San
Francisco and told how he coached
all witnesses and brought them to
the prison SO that they might swear
they knew these people when they
came on trial"
Referring to Billings, also in
Folsom prison, Mooney said: War
rem X. Billings is in Folsom prison
and is undergoing cruel and inhu-
man torture. He has not been al
lowed to see visitor or a friend
Think of that in an American
prison"
Mooney pleaded for the adoption
of Resolution No. 85, to appropri-
ate $500 to continue the work of
exposing corruption in the Mooney
case. The resolution was intro
duced by the Machinists' delega-
ton.

Untangle Tax Tangles

Wilmette, ILL.,. June 18.-"Teach-
ers are coming to realize that the
tax question is one of the most Sc
rious of present day problems,
says the bulletin of the American
Federation of Teachers.
at is closely related to school
problems. Teachers can serve the
public in no better way than by
familiarzing themselves with the
present tax system and its failure
to provide adequately for the main
tenance of a school system in keep
ing with our national life. The
real sources of wealth are prac-
tically untouched. Reforms in taxa
tion must take place. In what
direction these reforms are to be
made, needs careful consideration
In this let the teachers take their

Virginia Stands Pat for
GOmDerS

When j. B. Clnedinst arrived
here today as a delegate to the
A. F. of l.. convention, representing
the Virginia State Federation of
Labor, he brought with him a story
that should prove interesting to
those who are watching the stua-
ton surrounding the presidency of
the federation.
The Virginia Federation had elect
ed it's president, John Hopkins Hall,
as its delegate. Hall found him
self unable to come because of his
employment.
Clinedinst, member of the
Painters Union, was in Washing
ton the Sunday night before the
convention opened. Hall, at Vir-
ginia Federation headquarters,
heard the rumors of an effort to
defeat President Gompers. He got
Clinedinst on long distance tele-
phone. "We're behind Sam Com
pers," said President Hall to Cline
dinst, land even if we have only
one vote that vote has got to be
cast for Gompers."
Clinedinst was instructed to reach
Denver as quickly as possible with
the lone vote of Virginia. eve
have always been with President
Gompers," said Clinedinst here.
The Washington, D. c., central
body, reading the same reports,
sent long distance telegram which
reached Washington today. 1t de-
clared that outside influences were
attempting to disrupt the labor
movement and to that end were en-
deayoring to undermine and de-
stroy its leaders. part of this
PLAN" said the telegram, "is to
first destroy labor's chosen lead
ers through vicious propaganda
| by issues and questions being in
terjected into our economic life
! that are secondary to the purposes
for which we are organized" The
message continued to say that the
attacks on Samuel Gompers "are
in conformity with this plan of
destruction. 'and went on to say
that the Washington Central Labor
Union "deplores and condemns this
attempted destruction of the A. F.
of l.. and resents the attempt of
outsiders, no matter in what walk
of life they may be, to choose a
leader for u.s."
The telegram, addressed to Sec
rotary Morrison for the convention,
expressed confidence in President
Gompers "for his faithful devotion
to the interests Of the toilers of
this country" and expressed the
hope for his reelection.
