BY UNION CHIEF
Farmers and Labor See Joint
Powers, Machinist Lead
er Says at Conference

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. i'll
Farmers and labor have discovered
their joint powers through the pri-
mary and there Is now hope that
our political and Industrial future
Is stronger than 1t ever was before,
william J.. Johnston, international

declared today in opening h con-
ference for progressive political &C
ton over which he presided.
"Our first experiment Is ended
and our first preliminary skirmish
in behalf of equal and exact Justice

Johnston declared, summarizing the
recent election. Through you as a..
result of efforts made by your asso
ciates and neighbors at home the&
American people have spoken mos
emphaticaIly.

wrath of the peopfe was left loose
against the so-called captains of in
dustries, the freebooters, profiteers.
plunderers and political puppets Of
the d~iscredited Harding administra-
ton.
ION that day American citizens
ever did before. They voted with
rare discrimination and magnificent
independence. They not only
trandished the big stick Of outraged
independence, but they used 1t that
cay so effectively, so thoroughly. In
fact, that the interests in and out Of
the present administration, are still
from pain from the wal
lop they got, and they are quivering
with fear as to what Is likely to hap
pen to them when they voted in

reople developed in every legislative
and judicial district of the land.
"You showed them how helpless
they were and how ineffective their
ballots were on election day, II they
had no choice between two evils.
The first place to make a choice is
at the primary. You have exposed
the greatest eniquity of the slight OF

tics, whereby candidates on both
major parties tickets have hereto

NO AGREEMENTS
ON TURK STRAITS
Question of How Control of
Straits Will be Administer
ed is Being Asked

LAUSANNE, Dec. II ,(By the
Associated Press. THE question
of how control OF the Turk
ish straits will be administered
whether through somebody under
the League OF Nations OF under self
international units wholly separate
from the league-is being generally
asked by members of the conference
legations which have no %represen-
tatives among the military or naval
experts who now are discussing the
straits problem informally with the
Turks.
Inasmuch as Russia and Turkey
and America are not members OF
the League of Nations there would
doubtless be strong objections to any
plan to make control of the straits a
league affair. Lord Curzon has only
once alluded to a plan for the admin
istration of the waterway and then
in the most indefinite way saying 1t
had not been set whether regula-
ton of the straits would be placed
under the league or some other or
g~anization. Fl
