Twelve months ago most of the six
million farmer, Of the United States
were starting on the long hard climb
out Of the valley of economic de
preston They have not yet attain
cd the heights which are bathcd in
the grateful sunshine of prosperity.
Some, indeed, have fallen hy the
way. Others are still in the valley.
Nevertheless, a. we stop n bit and
look backward VIZ can see that very
considerable ground has been gained
by the great majority, and W. can
enter the New Year with renewed
hope aud with that courage which
comes from the realization that we
are really making progress.
A year ago. when speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922. said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in
the near future, there was promise
of better times, both for the farmer
and for those whose business is
largely dependent upon him. The year
has brought fuifiIlmrnt of that
promise. Speaking generally, times
are better, much better. than year
ago, both for agriculture and for in
dustry.
Crops have been good, on the
whole Prices of the major crops are
mostly considerably higher. While
there has been a corresponding ad-
vance in the prices of the things the
farmer must buy. the total sum
which farmers will receive for the
crops this year is greater by bill
lion and n half dollars or more than
that which they received for the
crops of last year. This will certain
ly mean better times on the farm
and farm folks will be able to ease
up little on the grinding economy

ceding year.

A. F. of l. Behind Miners; Come What May

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
22.-President Samuel GOmpers
of the American Federation of
Labor today issued the follow
ing statement in relation to the
situation existing in the mining
industry:
Come what may, the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, the
American labor movement, is
with the mine workers Of Amer
lea in their struggle against the
mine owners.
No group Of employers in any
industrial controversy in this
country has ever placed itself
in a more indefensible position
than that occupied by the mine
owners at this time.
Bound by a solemn agree
ment to confer with the work.
ers upon the terms Of a new
agreement, they have refused
to abide by the terms of their
own pledge.
The citizenship Of America can
draw from this conduct but one con-
clusion and that is that the mine
owners wish it to be understood that
the pledge Of mine owners is value
less.
The statement Of mine owners that
the representatives Of the mine
workers have no power to confer is
baseless. The officers and the pol
icy committee of the mine workers
have full power to confer, to negO-
tiate and to enter into an agreement
and this power was officially and
( properly conferred upon them by the
mine workers convention.
The mine owners are willing to
break their word if by so doing they
can reduce wages or weaken tGe
union. Profit and power, with the
mine owners, come first and every
thing else, including the comfort anJ
welfare Of the public, Of which they
talk so much, come last
! The whole American labor move
ment is with the miners. The United
Mine Workers of America have an
honorable record of agreements hon
orably kept The industry for e..
years has been conducted upon the
basis Of negotiation and Joint agree
ment. The mine workers have met
every demand made in those agree
ments. nj addition, they have never
been subject to whim and caprice
beyond any other calling or trade
They have had work for from so to
100 fewer days per year than most
other trades and occupations. They
have been subjected to fluctuation
of work almost unknown in any other
trade. What they ask is negotiation
and agreement, trusting to these
truly American devices to bring i'm
provement as time passes. The thing
they want least Of all is to be COM
PEELED to cease work as a final pro-
test against the dishonor Of the en-
ployers.
The mine workers are striving to
abide by their pledge. They have
fulfilled every obligation and wait
only the word of the employers to
enter into negotiation for the con-
tinuance of mining operations
The cause of the miners is lust
and in that Just cause they will have
the united and answering support
of the great labor movement of our
country and, we are bound to be-
lieve. of every man and woman in
our country to whom Justice means
something beyond an empty word.
