French Seamen Will
Buy Merchant Fleet

The French Seamen's Federation,
one of the strongest trade unions in
France, is now perfecting arrange
ments for the purchase of a fleet of
merchant vessels, to be operated CO.
operatively in competition with the
private owned and profit making
steamship companies. The French
government is now disposing of its
mercantile fleet, and the Seamans
Federation proposes to buy II of the
best vessels, with tonnage of 112,-

erative enterprise.
The Federation asserts that coop
erative conduct of transportation is
much more efficient and serviceable
than the present private profit plan
of charging "all the traffic will

of the Commonwealth Shipping Line

has maintained low rates and yet

Italian seamen's guild has also cut
rates to the lowest possible minimum

COAL AT COST
COOPERATIVE
NEBRASKANS

Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska,
is not suffering from a coal famine
winter. Neither is it paying a trib-
ute tc ring of coal profiteers. De-
spite the fact that the coal mines are
nearly 500 miles distant, and that
freight charges are more per ton
the people of Lincoln are paying less
for coal than are the citizens of cities
within sound of the mine whistles.
Cooperation did it.
The hero of the Lincoln coal users
is Charles w. Bryan, brother of
William Jennings, the eminent apostle
of free silver, grape juice and inter
national peace. Some months ago Mr..
Bryan made an investigation, and de-
clared that the Lincoln coal dealers
were shameless profiteers; that they
could sell coal for 81 less per ton
and make a reasonable profit on it;
and that if the dealers did not reduce
the prices the people of the city
should go into the coal business on
their own account and get coal at
cost. The city council turned deaf
ear to Mr.. Bryan's proposal. There
upon he began a popular educational
campaign in the newspapers. Being
endued with some of his brothers
political sagacity, he took advantage
of the approaching municipal cleo
ton to suggest that the people
should establish not only a municipal
coal yard, but also a municipal pub
lie market and municapl ice plant.
The Substantial" business men of
the city refused to support this pro
gram. Whereupon Mr.. Bryan cast
his own hat in the ring and was
elected at the head of the city COM
missioners. When the four other
commissioners defeated his ordinance
to establish the coal yard, he APP
pealed again to the people; and i'm
nediately petitions were circulated
under the initiative and referendum
to enact the coal yard ordinance, re-
call two of the commissioners, and
replace them with men pledged to-
Mr.. Bryan's program. The commits
sioners then passed the coal yard or
dinance to head off this movement,
but the paytriotic coal profiteers tried
to shut off the city's coal supply.
Failing in that they attempted unsuc-
ceSSIullV TO secure an injunction lOr-
bidding the city from entering the
coal business. But Mr.. Bryan stuck
to his guns, and the citys coal came.
The report of the peoples coal yard
for the first two months operation
more than fulfills Mr.. Bryan's prom
Use. The city bought the best South
ern Illinois coal for $685. a ton, sold
it for 81 ton less than the private
dealers charged, and on a $4,000
business made a net profit Of $4,000.
which goes to carry on the work and
reduce the citizens taxes. Who lose
when the people gain?

of the state land department, and Rudolph Kuchler, land commissioner
 The state land department, Boice declares, approved the renewal Of the leases on the four sections of land to himself, and later ordered the leases revoked and that the land be leased to three other parties.
 The refusal of the land department to give him a renewal of the leases on the land, Boice says, is in viola tion of Section 10, Article 10, of the state constitution, which provides that the lesees of state lands shall have preference to renew their leases.

THE ONLY
honest WAY

In the midst of hurry burly, of noise
and fury aud of random talk and in
temperate recrinination over the pro-
posed "beer and light wine" amend
nlent to the Volstead act, it is a relief
and satisfaction to discover a sane
discussion of the subject born bn
straight thinking Such a discussion
is provided by the Dallas (Texas)
Morning News, published in COM
,nunity where the amendment seems
to have become an issue in the con-
gressional campaign. And the nub
of what The Morning News says is
this:
There are some people who believe
that it would be well to permit the
manufacture and sale of beer and light
wines. But if their belief is to COM
mand respectful consideration, it must
be presented in the form of a proposal
to amend or recast the Eighteenth
Amendment. Only those who adopted
it are competent to amend or fashion
the Volstead act SO as to permit the
sale of beer and wines without violat-
ing the oath which its members take.
A proposal so to amend the constitu-
ton would be entitled to respectful
consideration even from those who
would be sternly opposed to the pro-
posal. But proposal to amend the
Volstead act SO as to permit the sale
| of beer and light wines is not entitled
to respectful consideration because it
| is a proposal to have congress do
something which the constitution for
bids it to do.
This is clear and right to the point
1t is an absolute correct Interpretation
of the situation, and it ought to have
wide currency. It is the Interpretation
| The Free Press endeavored to set forth
| in its columns some time ago when the
| American Federation of Labor heads
made their prOnouncement in favor of
an alteration of the Volstead act. Such
an amendment by Congress would be
violation of public trust, defiance
| of public mandate and a legislative
lie. For as long as beer and light
wines are in fact intoxicating-an
nobody can deny that thousands have
become drunk by imbibing them-no
statutory fiction can make them other
wise. To attempt to say that they
are otherwise would be puerile stul-
LITIGATION.
| If mild intoxicants are to be rein
stated in the United States, let the
reinstatement be done decently, hon
estly and in the way provided by the
fundamental law. If the "wets" try to
get what they want by proceeding in
proper manner they will at least be
entitled, as the Morning News saws,
'to respectful consideration" from
which their present tactics bar them.

THE SPIRIT
THAT Wins

The cultivation of a fraternal spir-
it has much to do with the success of
a local community.
Where the population is limited the
Indifference or selfishness of a single
individual exerts depressing effect
upon others, and this attitude Of pes
simism in time permeates the whole
community. Men and women who
really desire to advance the interests
of themselves and their neighbors find
it difficult to work to advantage when
disaffected ones are continually throw
ing wet blanket over every new pro-
ject that is proposed.
Investigation and discussion are
both commendable and desirable, but
pessimistic remarks and pulling back
in the community harness are on
par with a balky horse. They render
more or less futile the efforts of those
who would push forward to ultimate
achievement
A community of brothers working
together in harmony is far better than
one of opponents pulling in opposite
directions.

SMALL GRAIN CROPS

The acreage of small grains in Wis
consin is 100000 acres less than last
year and $4,000 below the 5-year aver
age (1916-2O). Planting was inter
rupted frequently by rain and was
made difficult by poor soil conditions.
Fall grains total 451 900 acres as com
pared to 417,0O0 in 1921 and a 5-year
average of AL 900 acres. Spring
grains total 100000 acres compared
to 3,230,000 last year, and 5-year
average of 3,174,0O0 acres. In all,
Wisconsin farmers have 3,547,0 900 a.
cres in grain as against 3,647,000 in
1921 and an average of 3,615,000 for
the five years 1916 to 1920.
With the exception of winter wheat,
grain crop are all in good condition.
Warm weather in May has largely
overcome the late planting made ne
cessary by weather conditions in April.
The total outturn based upon June 1
conditions is forecasted at 122,913, 900
bushels as against 80, 118,OOO produced
last year and 5-year average produc-
ton of 126,002,000 bushels. This esti-
mate is based upon the assumption Of
average weather conditions until har-
vest. The final production will be
more or less depending on whether
weather is more favorable or less IA
vorable than usual.
