Drys to Be Neutral
in Senate Contest
High Opposed to Taking
Sides Between Davis and
Howell.

Lincoln, June 24.-(Special Tele-
am.)-F. A. High, secretary of the
A,ti-Saloon league, declared today
he was absolutely opposed to the or
ganization taking sides in the race
for nomination for United States
senator on the republican ticket be-
tween Attorney General Clarence A.
Davis and R. B. Howell.
However, it was admitted here to-
day that certain friends of Howell,
members of the legislative committee
of the league, were urging his en-
dorsement by the league. Such tao
tics admittedly are raising the rancor
of friends of Davis, who declare that
inasmuch as Davis from the first has
supported prohibition and worked as
ardently as Howell for the cause. It
would be a gross injustice to oppose
him in endeavoring to put the league
solidly behind Howell in the pri-
maries.

Miners in Iowa
StopProduction
Near Pershing
Scores of Automobiles Loaded
With Strike Sympathizers
Force Closing of Wagon
Coal Mines.

Knoxville, Ia, June 24.-(By A. P.)
The first demonstration of union
sympathizers in Iowa since the coal
strike started nearly three months
ago today resulted in the closing Of
approximately a dozen small nom
union wagon mines.
Early this morning, following a
mass meeting last night of striking
miners at the nearby mining town of
Pershing, scores of automobiles load
ed with strike sympathizers started
out visiting all the nonunion mines
operating within radium of approxi-
mately 20 miles.
Ordered To Quit.
Workers in the nonunion mines
were told to quit work. In all in
stances, according to reports, these
requests were Immediately complied
with.
In number of instances, operators
of the nonunion mines learned of the
coming visit of the strike sympathiz-
ers and closed their mines. In several
other instances, it is reported that the
working miners ran for their homes
when they saw the many automobiles
loaded with strike sympathizers
headed for the mines in which they
were employed.
The number of automobiles and
occupants is variously estimated. Re-
ports from Pershing state that about
E this morning one party of possibly
100 men in scores of automobiles
left for the vicinity of Knoxville,
where there were approximately half
a dozen mines in operation. They
returned about noon.
Report No Violence.
1t was later reported that another
group OF approximately the same
number left for Bussey, in the south
west corner of Marion county, where
there are a number of other small
nonunion mines.
Members of the party decline to
say who acted as their spokesmen or
leader. All OF them say, however,
that there was no violence.
1t is estimated that there were ap-
proximately 400 men employed in the
nonunion mines within radius of so
miles of Pershing, where the agitation
to close these mines appears to have
had its origin.
The total output from all the nom
union mines in this vicinity is esti-
mated at about five carloads day.

cratic publicity mediums and some Democratic mem
bcrs Of congress have endeayored TO extricate them
selves by charging that inasmneh as the tariff did
increase farm prices it increased the cost of living
to the city consumer OF farm products. Unfortu-
nately for the Success of the Democratic party and
the truth and veracity of its arguments, this state
ment is as false as the charge that the tariff has not
benefited the farmer.
A report issued by the United States Department
of Labor June, 1922, gives the average retail prices
in the United States as Of April 10, 1871, ami March
10, 1922. This table shows that Notwithstanding the
emergency tariff benefited the grower of live stock,
the price of steak on March Is, 1922, was Q per cent
less than it was April Is, 1921, which was a month
before the emergency tariff went into effect and
which was at a time when under the Underwood
free trade law both live stock and freah beef were
being imported into this country free OF duty.
Round steak showed a decrease of IL per cent, rib
roast of 10 per cent, plate beef 16 per cent, pork
chops IL per cent, and bacon IL per cent.
Notwithstanding the protective emergency tariff
raised the price of butter to the American producer,
the retail price OF butter, according to the labor de-
partment, dropped 10 per cent. notwithstanding
the emergency tariff benefited the grain grower, the
labor departments report shows n decrease in the
price of bread Of 16 per cent, in the price of -four
10 per cent, in the price OF wheat cereal food 10 per
cent and corn cereal food 81 per cent.
In brief, the emergency or farmers tariff enacted
by the Republican congress in May, 1921, benefited
the agricultural interests of the country and at the
same time did not prevent a steady and very mate.
rial decrease in the retail price OF food throughout
the country.
