WASHINGTON, March 21.-Mat-
thew Will, vice president OF the
American Federation of Labor, pres
ident- of the International Photo
Engravers' union and editor OF the
official journal of that union, made
public here today in an interview
which will appear in the forthcom-
ing issue of tho journal OF the Pho
to-Engravers' union in relation to
the bond issue of the state of North
Dakota and the attitude of labor
toward that bond issue. MIR. Woll's
statement follows:
Finance is peculiar and power
full institution. AS medium OF ex-
change money is Indispensable. AS
a medium for speculative gain, for
wealth without work, and for the
unauthorized control of the rights,
liberties and opportunities for the
pursuit of happiness declared ina
lienable by the national constitu-
ton modern finance is incompar-
able.
."The Farmers National Nonpart
isan League Of North Dakota, in a
perfectly legal and constitutional
manner elected members of its eco
nomic and political shades OF opin-
ion to public office. Under laws and
BY the authority OF the state. the
duly elected officers and representa-
tives organized state bank, state
owned flour mills and grain eleva-
tors and undertook to provide
homes for the people on liberal
terms.
Bankers Of Nation Aroused
"The banking interests of the
country looked with extreme dis
favor upon these ventures. To tres
pass upon the sacred soil Of our
modern kings Of finance is evident
~ crime as great as was the Of
tense of trespassing upon the lands
owned by the feudal lords of old.
Hence the state of North Dakota
could not hope for absolution from
those high priests Of finance. Thus
when adverse economic and finan-
cial conditions developed in our
land, the opportunity our bankers
and flnanciers had hoped and
prayed for had arrived. At first
they volunteered to enter into an
agreement with the leaders Of the
National Nonpartisan League to
help North Dakota out Of It fnan-
cial difficulties but demanded as q
price in addition to the profits Of
exploiting its proposed loan the
states abandonment Of the most Inn
portant parts Of its industrial pro-
gram. Later their attitude became
even more bold and they declined
to give North Dakota any aid what
ever.
Business Greed to Blame

kota ventures fairly who does not
