IN WEST VIRGINIA COAL MINES

the month would have amounted TO

May, 1929. produced 277.965 tons at

count of market and the mines were

speaking for the association. Harry
Olmsted. chairmon of the labor COM
mittee. said that he regards this
showing as phenomenal, and ex-
pressed the doubt IL there was any
other coal field in the United States
that would equal 1t.
This achievement is in spite OF the
fact that civil war has been raging
around a number of the mines during
the month. in face Of the fact that
the United Mine Workers issued dur.
ing a month a second strike call. and
despite the further fact that the coal
mines throughout the country prac-
tically suspended operations on ac-
count of the lack of demand for coal

CABINET MEMBER
TELLS FARMERS TO
STRIKE FOR RAISE
Those Who Do Not Take Hint Given
by Wallace May Hear From
Their Bankers.

The nation is now in the throes of
the most serious agricultural depression
in its history, With prices for major farm
crops breaking all low records, Henry
c. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, in
formed the members of the Chambers of
Commerce of Boston, before whom he
made an address.
Secretary Wallace predicted that this
condition would result in decreased pro-
duction, which in turn, would bring
prices so high that city consumers will
complain bitterly, for the farmer can
not continue to produce at a loss"
This statement is significant when con-
sidered with a publication recently in
Wallace's Farmer, the PERSONAL organ of
Secretary Wallace, published at Des
Moines, Ia, urging farmers to inaugur-
ate strike. The idea is Endorsed by
other conservative farm journals, notably
the Nebraska Farmer and the Prairie
Farmer, at Chicago.
1t is proposed to reduce acreage in the
corn belt at least rs per cent According
to Wallaces Farmer, business men and
bankers will be asked to assist the plan
by bringing economic pressure" on stub
born growers, and the belief is expressed
that bankers will not be slow to with
hold credit from those who do not join
the strike.
SMALL CROPS HELP BUSINESS.
A reduction in the corn acreage of
Is per cent is considerably more than
would normally follow the low prices,
and it is estimated by Secretary Wal
lace's publication that it would raise the
price of corn in 1922 to a point where
there would at least be no loss to the
growers.
The economic" pressure to be brought
to bear upon farmers to influence them
in favor of the corn strike is limited at
in Secretary Wallace's paper as fol-
lows:
''In the South bankers, business men
and politicians are SO firmly convinced
that their welfare fundamentally rests on
the prices of cotton that they all join
in wholeheartedly to make the cotton
acreage campaign success The bank
ers in many cases are of especial help,
because they refuse to stake those men
who do not cut their acreage by at least
20 per cent. Will the bankers and other
men of influence in the North see the
fundamentals of their prosperity as
clearly as those Southerners?"
SEEKING HIGHER FOOD COST.
In his New England address, Secre-
tary Wallace stated that unless some
plan of relief is provided for farmers
the populations in the city might be
pushed perilously close to starvation.
The reduction of the corn crop rs per
cent would be reflected Immediately in
the supply as we'll as the cost of all food.
This factor was given consideration in
his article in his farm journal, which
held out the hope that in the event of a
| farmers strike they could be relied upon
mot to practice it in the same heart1ess
way as certain other classes of society,"
The Connecticut labor news. (New Haven, Conn.) 1921-1925, 1921-12-30

peatedly held that railroad land does
no gather "unearner increment" Its
only value is just what it is worth as
a right-of-way for track and other ia
cilities and its value for any other
purpose can not be considered. This
is the law, Mr.. Plumb said, and the
courts have sustained it. Notwith
standing the commission has gener-
ously credited the railroads with in
creased land values, the total valua-
ton is still far short of the sum
claimed by the arrangements.
