cause they are organized o that they
can cause Capital serious trouble, are
still able to hold their wages up twice
he .pre-war level, whereas the farmer
is selling his labor for less than the pre-
war normal.
AS long as we are working under The
present structure of society, There is
only one logical thing for the farmer to
do at present stage of the game. and
that is to back up Capital in reducing
wages. Personally, we hope that wages
will be cut until they are 70 per cent
above pre-wsr, and toe farm products
will be raised until they ere 70 pei cent
above pre-war. If it proves impossi
bic to raise farm products beyond 80
per cent above pre-war, then we are 10
favor of cutting wages to 80 per cent
above pre- war. Capital and the city
aboring men can, if they wish, pursue
the short-sighted policy of giving the
farmer practically nothing for year
or two, As long as the farmer has
some wartime savings to draw upon he
will go on producing. He and his fam
lily will work twelve or even fourteen
hours a day if necessary. But it is a
impossibility for the pres
ent situation to long continue. City
wages and farm product prices must
reach parity, and the farmer is quite
justified in reducing production, if tits
to do so, in order to bring
Capital and Labor to their senses.
Today the average railroad man is
getting 1900 year, the steel worker
81. 300, and factory workers generally
81. 800 or s1,4OO, These wages do not |
sound excessive, but they are more than
twice the pre-war, and more than twice
the farmers labor income. Including
the value of house rent, food and fuel.
the average farmer is now receiving az
income of about $500 The farmer
would be happy If Capital, Labor, be.
tween them, could devise a scheme to
turn out SO much goods that labor
could rightfully earn an income of So.
900 annually. But with the situstion
as 1t exits today, Labor is simply a.:
propriating to itself larger part of
the national income which rightfully be-
long to the farmer
There might be something in CON-
mon between the farmer and city Ia
Dor even now il Labor showed any
genuine interest in increasing its own
efficiency or II Labor exhibited q real

CITY WORKERS VERSUS FARMERS


Theoretically city workers and farm
ers should have great sympathy for
each other. Both are producers in the
most fundamental sense Of the tenn,
aud both feel that they are victimized
by the superior bargaining power Of
the city business men, Politicians pro-
ceeding on this theory have tried to or
ganizs a farmer-labor party.
As a matter of hard facts, the inter
ests of the farmers are dramatically
opposed to the interests Of the city
laboring man. In the distant future
some way may be discovered for recon-
Cling the opposing interests, but the
situation as it exists today brings out
very clearly the fundamental points Of
difference.
More than any other one thing, tits
the city laboring man who is today
standing between the farmer and reas-
enable prices for the things which he
buys. Ii the railroad man was selling
his labor as chesply as the farmer is
selling his corn, oats, hogs and cattle
the farmer would be able TO get ten per
cent more for his farm products and the
consumer would be able to buy his Fro
ducts about 10 per cent more chesply.
Before the war. eighteen billion dol.
lars every year went either to farmers
or city laborer. OF this eighteen bill
lion dclars, the share Of. the farmers
was almost invariable around q per
cent During the war years the farm
ers Jared relatively better than the Ia.
borers, and their share of the joint pro-
duct increased to 80 per cent. Since
deflation began, however, the share of
the farmer in the joint product has be n
steadily declining until now it is right
around 10 per cent.
Capital, the big Biz" Of the Nonm-
partisan Leaguers, does not concern it.
self par ticularly with how the farmers
and the laborng men should divide up
their joint income. Capital is concern

as the case may be, on the money
which it has invested. Capital hes no
D lection to high wages providing these

 ST|LLMAN'S CASE
fBy the Associated Press,

Poughkeepsie, N. r., July 15.- Counsel for James A. Stillman prob ably will recall H. Phelps Clauson, Q friend of the Stilman family who yes terday testified that MT. and Mrs Stillman had lived together at sev- eral periods prior to the birth of Guy Stillman, whose parentage is one of the principal issues in the divorce trial. It is expected that counsel for Mr Stillman will call him back in an effort to break down his testi- mony, considered the most important yet submitted in behalf of Mrs Still man.
 The parentage of Guy Stillman was attacked and defended at the trial to- day. Attorneys for MT.

city Solicitor John ~ Huxley In an
opinion submitted tu The members uf
iity Council sitting as = committee Of
the whole last night held that they
could not pass the proposed amend
ment 10 the law licensing Ia Il cabs
aud other automobiles hired out. ex-
ninpiing undeftakers machines when
used SOLELY for funeral purposes. This
was a distinct victory for the taxi men
who have been engaged in a lively
fight with tho undertakers before
Council for several weeks over the
adoption of an ordinance providing for
a city license for machines that are
hired out OF for which fare is rharg-
Cd
The taxi men have contended that
II they arc 10 he licensed the unft,r
takers should he obliged 10 pay q fee
also for. tho taxi men claim. the NM
drrtakers frequently hire out their
machines and thus interfere with the
taxi business. The undertakers had
contended that they did not do this
and that they did not seek a general
passenger business but only wanted
funeral business An ordinance had
DtsNEt hEANft HAAAh - tAtNRtFsF5 AtN 1fh 49,

offered esempting undertakers' cars II
they were used solely for funerals.
I, was this amendment which was
submitted to Mr.. Huxley for an opinion
and ii was this he ruled could not be
adopted and have the proposed ordin-
ance constitutional. The original
draft of the law a. it now sta nds pro-
vides that all owners OF automobiles
who charge a fare or rent them by the
hour and charge for same shall pay a
license to the city. This includes the
undertakcrs as we'll as the taxi cabs
and even private owners who hire out
their cars.
Council last night did not take final
action on the measure They thought
the undertakers might have some new
thought to offer regarding the matter
and il was decided TO let the ordinance
go over for one week. The retiring
Council thus shifted to the shoulders
OF the incoming Council responsibility
