MONTANA EXHIBITS ARE
AHEAD OF IOWA

Helena, Sept. 24.-The agricultural
exhibits at the Montana State Fair
this year far outclassed the same class
of displays at the Iowa, the Wisconsin
and the Minnesota state fairs this
year, according to E. F. Benson, man.
ager of the Department of Immigra-
ton and Industry of the Northern Pa
cific. Mr.. Benson visited these four
fairs and expressed establishment at
the remarkably high quality of the
Montana exhibits of grain, grasses and
forage crops.
Montana excelled Iowa on corn this
year." said Mr.. Benson. "Iowa was
forced to exhibit last years corn;
Montana's corn matured early enough
so that it could be displayed at the
oMntana State Fair. The Montana
corn, so far as quality and size are
concerned, is the equal of the Iowa
corn.
81 don't believe there is an agricul-
tural fair in the United States" con-
Guided Mr.. Benson, "that can vie with
the agricultural exhibits of this years

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE
MA 77ONAL CAPITAL
IN OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON, DC.
No Coercion

The railroad shopmen have voted to
strike against the wage cuts ordered
by the Railroad Labor Board, but will
defer action until the decisions of the
Board as to working conditions are
made public. "When the time comes,"
declares an official of the blacksmiths'
union, "tie your hats on; we're going
down the line and going all the way"
Apparently that is a warning to the
people that when the strike comes
the strikers will hesitate at nothing
to accomplish their ends.
The country is ready for the chal-
lenge. Not only are there thousands of
willing workers out Of a job, and anx-
ious to take the places of any strikers,
but other thousands of virile men
stand ready to throw themselves into
a fight against any class of workers
who seek to attain their purposes
through correction Of a suffering pub
lie. That fact was proved in a rail-
road strike not many months ago in
the vicinity of New York City. The
engines and trains were manned by
young men from the New York Of
fices, and kept running.
For years the country has been
bluffed into submission by the AFRO
giant leaders of railroad brotherhoods.
Like certain individuals who conceive
the idea that their services are so in
dispensable that their employers or
ganization would fall to the ground if
they should suddenly quit, the rail
brotherhoods have convinced them
selves that if they should suddenly re-
fuse to work our transportation sys-
tenn would come to a standstill, and
the resulting suffering and death
among innocent people would speedily
bring a compliance with their de-
mands. A Democratic Congress was
bluffed into submission by a strike
threat, and obediently enacted the no.
torious Adamson law. The Democrat
ic administration succumbed to a sue
cession of strike bluffs, and granted
wage increase after increase whenever
the brotherhoods demanded them.
But men of a different stripe are
in the saddle at Washington, and they
are backed up in what they do by an
overwhelming majority of public opin-
ion. A feature of the change that took
place on March 4th was the passing
of domination of government by min
critics, whether they are composed of
organizations of workers or any other
class of citizens. Vice President
Coolidge gained national recognition
and approval, and won election to the
second office in the land through his
courageous stand against the coercion
of the organized Boston police. The
same sort of determination evidenced
in that local struggle will be directed
towards any influence that seeks to
force its demands upon the public.
And the same popular support that
was accorded the Massachusetts au-
thorities in their enforcement of law
and order will be manifest when the
struggle comes between the half mil
lion railway workers and their friends
and the rest of the American public.

"Easy Marks"

The Philadelphia Public Ledger,
which so earnestly supported the
League of Nations scheme, wants to
know why it is that professional men
are "easy marks, and it cites a col
lege professor as an instance. We
won't attempt to answer the question,
but have always wondered why the
former professor of Princeton was
such an easy mark for Lloyd George.

Jap Ships Lead.

According to dispatches from Port
land, Oregon, the chief grain export
ing point on the Pacific Coast, Japan
ese ships have become the leading
carriers of grain and can transport
that commodity at less than half the
rates required by either American or
British merchant ships. 1t looks as
though the American merchant marine
must have some sort of advantage un-
der American laws if it is to hold any
considerable part of our foreign carry
ing trade.
