At the conclusion of the program

A rising vote of thanks was given
those who contributed so willingly to
the pleasure and interest of the meet

In other words, In actual money III
1920 the return to the farmer for lab.
or, risk, and management was sub,
stantially back to the figure for 1913
but in purchasing power the situation
was very different. Measured in
terms of purchasing power, the re-
ward of the farmer for risk, labor
and management, after allowing the
return for capital to which ! referred
was, in 1918, $444; in 1919, 1888; and
in 1920, 1919.
"In other words, measured in pur-
chasing power the return to the farm
er in 1920 was about one-half what il
was in 1913. ! do not have the 1921
figures, but / think it is safe to say
that they would be considerably be-
low the figures of 1920 in purchas-
ing power.
Nov we have some comparison OF
the rewards for labor, risk, and man
agement on the farm and the re-
wards in the way of wages in mines
factories, railways, and banks. These
figures come down only to 1918.
"In 1913 the average reward of the
farmer was S444; of the employee in
the mining industry, $755; in factor
les, sos; on railways, S7S2; and in
banks, $500.
"In 1918 the reward of the farmer
was $l,27S; mining employee, $3.50;
factory employee, i,i47; railway emf
ployec, 81 1874; and in banks, 81 ,46l
So it is evident that in actual money
return the farmers condition greatly
improved as compared with those en-
gagged in other industries from 1915
to 1913. That improvement, how.
ever, has been more than Offset by
the depression which has occurred
since 1919.
This IS the average reward for the
farmer. That would be, practically
speaking, the average reward PEI
farm.
"ln terms of purchasing power tho
farmer received in 1913, S444; the
mining employee, $775; the factory
employee, sos; the railway EN-
ployee, S7S2; the bank employee, $3.50
I'm 1918, measured in purchasing
power, the farmer received 1926; the
mining employee, SS0S; the factor5
employee, 1925; the railway employee
SSS2; and the bank employee, 1925.

SCORE HURT IN WRECK
Trolley Train Carrying Washing
tonians Derailed When It Hits
Twisted Track.

BUFFALO, N. Y. August 1S.-The
International Railway Company to-
day offered a reward of $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction of the per-
sons who dynamited the high speed
line of the company north of the city
shortly after midnight and caused the
wreck in which more than score Of
persons were hurt.
The three-car trolley train, carrying
excusionists from Washington, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, ran into the
twisted rails and broken ties where
the roadbed had been torn up by the
explosion about mile out of the city
All three cars were derailed, but only
the rear car overturned.
A southbound train from Niagara
Falls was stopped by the wreckage.
The motorman, suspecting that both
tracks had been tampered with. walk
ed down the tracks and found twenty
five sticks of dynamite under q rail,
on the inbound track.
Four men in an automobile were
seen to drive away from the scene
half an hour before the explosion.
Clarence F. Conroy. business agent
OF the carmen of the international.
who have been on strike for seven
weeks. said today:
There Is nothing to show tina. any
OF our men had hand in the dyna-
hitting. They have been warned
against violence and I believe they
are obeying ORDERS

for this element of discord in the
ranks of industry. Any legislation
in the future must be as free from
this element Of trouble making as
il is from labor extremists who
strive, for class domination. We
recognize these organizations in
the law, and We must accredtt them
with incalculable contribution to
labor's uplift.
1t is of public interest to pre-
serve them and profit by the good
that is in them. but we must check
the abuses and the excesses which
conflict with public interest pre-
c;seIv as we have been progress
siyely legislating to prevent capi-
talistic, corporate or managerial
domination which is contrary to
nublic welfare. We also recognize
the right of employers and en-
ployes alike, within the law. to
establish their methods of con-
ductine business, to choose their
employment and to determine their
relations with each other. We
must reassert the doctrine that in
this republic the first obligation
and the first allegiance Of every
citizen, high or low. is to his gov
ernment, and to hold that govern
ment to be the just and unchal-
lenged sponsor for public welfare
and the liberty, security and rights
of All its citizens. No matter what
clouds may gather. no matter
what storms may ensue, no matter
what hardships may attend or
what sacrifice may be necessary,
government by law must and will
be sustained.
Wherefore 1 am resolved to use
all the power OF the government
to maintain transportation and
sustain the right Of msn to work.
