they are real. In doing so. we should
remember that, while there have been.
and still are. Instances of purposeful
abuse, the subject should not be APP
preached with any general imputaticn
to existing distributive agencies Of de-
liberately intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing of farm products has not
been m~odernized.
An ancient evil, and q persistent
one. is the u~ndergrading Of farm prod
ucts, with the result that what the
farmers sell as of. n quality Is re-
sold as Of a higher. That this sort OF
chicanery should persist on any i'm

credible, but there is much evidence

portions of disgrace to our whole
civilization" Secretary Davis of the
Labor Department, in an address to-day,
called upon labor leaders to help re-
store Industrial relations to an orderly
basis.
The 'ultra-red radical" was blamed
by Mr.. Davis for much of the violence
which attends clashes between labor and
capital. For its own preservation, he
said. organized labor must put a stop
and their campaigns of riot, arson and
murder"
The address. at the annual convention
of the International Printing Press Mer
and Assistants Union of North America
at the pressmen's home, included a re-
ctal of the speakers experiences as o
union man. which he said had given him
an intimate insight into conditions
which prompt violence in labor disputes.
He knew, he declared, that often "tht
unscrupulous employer, facing trouble
with his workingmen, has resorted to
the company guard the so-called private
detective, the hired plug ugly. whose
sole purpose in life is the stirring up of
hatred and violence.

Industrial strife he continued. 'there
always is present the agitator, the ultra

destruction of all organized society and
whose whole philosophy Is violence and

when employer and worker clash. ready
to incite to lawlessness and riot, arson

Erie officials indicated that peace would
follow, as otherwise the two sides were
seemingly near agreement.

the line at anonymous communications.
