UNINTERRUPTED
TRANSPORTATION
FARMERS NEED
They Also Demand Lower
Freight Rates, Wallace
Declares; Railroads and
Workmen Are Criticised.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 20
Lower freight rates and unhin-
dered transportation are demanded
by the farmers. Henry c. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, declared
in an address here tonight. Freight
rates on agricultural products
should be decreased, Secretary wal
lace said, because they are too high
with relation to the prices farmers
get.
Transportation is a part of pro
duction so far as agriculture is
concerned" the secretary SAID,
"The farmer pays the freight. He
does not want the railroads to re-
fuce freight rates so low that they
cannot furnish efficient service.
Service is important to the farmer,
But the freight rates are now too
high, The farmers want the rail-
road people to cut down their OPP
Grating costs, to insist upon a fair
days work for fair wage, to
move their freight cheaper and
thus be able to cut down rates"
Declaring that many growers of
perishable products have gone
bankrupt because they could not
move their crops and that grain
growers and livestock producers
have lost millions upon millions
of dollars" in the last six months
because railroad owners and rail-
road workman could not agree, the
secretary said:
"Some way must be found to
break the monopolies of both cap
ital and labor and keep them at
work. These quarrels between
railroads and the workmen which
hang up freight movement must
be stopped in some way or other.
