caused by this disease varies from -

Benton states that In many cases the

for the prevention and cure ~ smut Ia

Labor Bank Aids
Farmer CO-OperatOrs

The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Cooperative National
Bank of Cleveland recently made a
loan of $50,000O0 to the North
western Wheat Growers Association
farmers cooperative organization,
to enable it to market the wheat
crop of it's members at fair price,
rather than take what the market
manipulators were offering.
While the amount of the loan is
not large, it is exceedingly import
ant because it marks the beginning
of a very significant kind of CO.
operation between the organized
workers and the organized farmers.
1t also demonstrates the purpose of
the Engineers Cooperative Bank to
use it's large resources to aid pro-
ducers rather than middlemen and
spectators.
Work together DRY no will surely
be worked separately. Cooperate!

Steel companies in the Pittsburgh
district are housing Arabians and
Orientals, and giving them credit in
company stores. 1t is intended that
these aliens, engulfed in debt, can be
used to advantage when prosperity
returns.
When the wave of immigration
from foreign countries was at high
tide the steel companies did not
have much trouble maintaining a
long line of applicants for work
outside their gates. These unem-
ployed were used to throw the fear
Of unemployment into the employees
and made it possible to maintain
the lowest wages existing in any
industry in the country.
The new immigration law is sup
posed to restrict immigration by
allotting quotas to a few countries
These quotas are being exceeded and
the steamship companies are ignor-
ing them. So many exceptions are
being made that the enforcement Of
the law is almost farce.
insufficient funds prevent the i'm
migration bureau from deportinG
the aliens subject to deportation.
1t is charged that there is a per-
sistent campaign to reduce the ap-
preparations for the immigration bu-
reau in order to hamper the enforce
ment of the law restricting immigra~
ton.
Now comes the latest stunt of the
employers in the steel industry. For
long time it was mystery to the
immigration officials how a group
of aliens in the Pittsburgh district,
all of whom were subject to depor"
tation, were able to maintain them
selves without working. Unemploy-
ment is a hardship to the normal
population.
Investigation revealed the fact
that the steel companies are main
tanning these aliens by housing them
in the company houses and by Civ
ing them credit in the company
stores. When industrial condition
improved these aliens are to be used
as a permanent unemployment line.
Among them are Arabians and
Orientals who could under no cir
cumstances be included in the quo
tas as they are disbarred from en-
try into the United States. They
are in the United States at present
because they were discharged from
ships whose operations were discon-
tinued by the industrial depression
and the immigration bureau has not
enough money to send them back.
1t is said that the bureau needs
100000 to enforce the immigration
law properly but bureau officials
are despairing of getting any such
appropriation through congress. 1t
is much easier, they say. for the
navy to get an appropriation of
100000 for another capital ship.
