FARM WAGE RATES
BREAK RECORDS
WAR CONDITIONS ACCELERATE
AN ADVANCE IN RURAL
lABORER'S WAGE.
From 1915 to 1920 Farm laborer
Working by the Month Received
Gain in His Salary as
HIGH as 115 Per Cent.

Washington.-Wage rates for farm
labor reached their highest point in
the history of the country In 1920, as
national averages. AS ascertained by
the bureau of crop estimates, United
States department of agriculture, the
average wage rate for labor hired by
the month was $46.S9 with board, and
$64.95 without board for day labor at
harvest, $500 with board, and $4.36
without board.
War conditions greatly accelerated
an upward movement of farm wage
rates that began after 1895. The rate
of that year for hirings by the month
without board was $1769 as an aver
age for the United States, and nc
other year in the record of the bu.
reau, extending back to 1866, had q
lower rate except 1879, with s16.42.
BY 1902 this wage rate had increased
to SOFIA; by 1914 to $29SS, followed
by $3O.15 in 1915, with no evidence Of
war effect. This effect appeared, per
haps, as a small beginning in the mex
year, 1916, when the wage rate wal
49, S3. Then followed rapid rise t
$4O.43 in 1917, to $47.07 in 1918, t.
$500 in 1910 and to $64.95 in 1920.
The rate of gain over 1895 was q
per cent in 1918, and 267 per cent II
1920, so that the gain Of 20 per cen
in twenty years, from 1895 to 1915, wa
followed by gain of 1877 per cent i
five years, from 1916 to 1920, or neal
ly three times as much in quarter a
many years.
From 1915 to 1920 farm labor worl
ing by the month without board RI
ceived gain in wage rate as high q
115 per cent. This was one OF tn
causes of the greatly increased co..
of producing things on the farm, whic
has hit the farmer so hard in the d
clining market for his crops of 1872
So high had the farm wage rates b
come in the last two or three yea
that they were prohibitive In a CO
siderable degree when labor could
found, and farmers more generally d
pended exclusively on themselves al
y members of their families, in additi'
to extending the use of labor-savil
machinery.

COURT DECIDES IN
FAVOR OF BERGER
SOCIALIST EDITOR AND Associ-
ATEs IN ESPIONAGE CHARGES
TO BE GIVEN NEW TRIALS.
Bench Divided In Decision on Radical
Cases, Majority Deciding Judge
Lands Was Ineligible to
Conduct Trial.

Neutrality-suspicious. L. Berger. So
cialist editor OF Milwaukee. and four
co-defendants who were sentenced to
terms ranging from ten to twenty
years for violation of the espionage
act, win be given new trials under
decision on January 81 by the supreme
court.
Dividing, six to three, the court held
that Judge lands Of Chicago was in
eligible to conduct the trial and should
have retired on the filing Of an affi-
davit by the defendants charging him
with personal bias and prejudice"
because of the nativity Of certain OF
them.
Berger and his cO-defendants are
Adolph Germer. national secretary of
the Socialist party, native Of Prus-
STA; william Kruss, editor of the
Young Socialist magazine, whose par
ents were Germans; j. Louis Engdahl
and Irwin st. John Tucker, writers
and lecturers, natives Of the United
States, and claiming to be not Of I'm
mediate German descent.
The sole question before the SUI
preme court was whether Judge Ian
dis had erred In continuing to sit In
the case after defense counsel had filed
properly drawn affidavit Of preju-
dice. Six members of the court, includ-
ing Chief Justice White, held that he
did. Three other members, Justices
Day, Pitney and McReynolds, held he
did not, and filed opinions dissenting
from that Of the majority.
Next to that of Eugene V. Debs,
the case of Victor Berger, publisher
Of the Milwaukee Leader, Socialist
paper, attracted more attention than
any other brought by the government
under the wartime espionage act.
A movement to bar Berger from the
seat in congress. to which he had just
been elected from Milwaukee dis
trict, was at once started. Represen-
tative Mann, former Republican leader,
being one of the few influential mem.
bers Of the house who came ont In be-
half Of the Socialist editor. A new
election having been ordered, Berger
was again returned and again the
house voted to bar him, 328 to 6
within an hour after he had presented
himself to be sworn In.

Strange Ceremony Witnessed BY
Many Alabamans.

Birmingham, Ala.-More than 500
candidates waded kneedeep in water
and slush Thursday night into the
mystic cave of the Knights of the
Kuklux Khan, mounted to the heights
of superior knighthood, where they
may now sit among the gods of the

taking of the oath as imperial wizard
by General Bedford Forrest, when the
original invisible empire of the kukluz
Khan was founded on January u
1866, in the hills of Tennessee.
