YELL COME
FROM FARMER;
ASKS TARIFF.
Protection On Peanut Oil Is
Necessary To Offset Evils
Imposed BY Tariff On
Other Necessary Com

WASHINGTON BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD
Washington. ID, C.. Nav B

The farmers of Alabama have be-
come pretenctionists to the extent
that they want no federal tariff COM
mission to monkey with the tariff
rate on peanut oils.
They have asked the commissioner
of agriculture in Alabama J. NJ.
Moore to come to Washington to
enter protest against the plea of
paint and varnish manufacturers
that the tariff commission reduce the
rate contained in the Fordney- Nc
Cumber tariff act. is impossible
for Mr.. Moore to come to Washing
ton. He has requested that epre-
sentative-elect Miles G. --llgood, his
culture. act for him. This Mr.. ALL
good will do.
The farmers OF Alabama, accord
Ing to representation made to Mr..
Allgood, are not converted TO the
theory of professional protectionists.
They are said to be aware that as
result of the tariff bill they are
pay for their farming implements.
their clothes and pr. ctically all else
that they buy including moro sugar.
But, 1t is said, they are determined,
If possible to demand of the pub
lie a protected rate for their pea
nuts IN order that their own adul-
tional expenses might in a measure
be reduced. According to the in
formation sent Mr.. Allgood, peanuts
have redeemed the average south
ern farmer who failed, on account
of the bool weevil to acQ lire indie
pendence as result of cotton
growing. There has developed a
market for peanuts which is said to
give the farmers a splendid margin
over expenditures. Farmers are said
to be convinced that their present
state of Approximate affluence is due
in part to the tariff Whi>h tends to
keep out oriental lis. They are very
anxious that nothing be done to af-
feet the situation.
The manufacturers of paints and
varnishes would secure oils as cheap
ly as possible and they have petit
toned the tariff commission to in
uuire into the rate with purpose
in view of reducing them If it be
found that they could eouitably be
reduced.
Alabama farmers are opposed to
such inquiry. They argue first that
if inquiry is made there might be
reason for a reduction cnd in the
second place that even docketing the
case might precipitate a psycholo-
gical situation which would
deleteriously affect the market.
Mr.. Allgood Ill speak to the, tariff
commission in behalf of the Ala
bama farmers. He will invite other
Alabamians in the city, Representa-
tives oliver, Steagall and letters, to
collaborate with him.

.LAUSANNE'S SKIES
TURKEY
DENIES WAR MOVE
Troops Not Being Modified
Upon Syrian Border, Dele
gates State

LAUSANNE, May s. lBy Asso-
ciated ss)-Turkey is demobiliz-
ing, not mobilizing, troops in Syria,
and therefore there is no justifica-
ton of French fears that Turkey Is
threatening the Syrian frontier. This,
1t was said tonight in Turkish cir
cles, would probably constitute the
note of protest.
Turkey asserts that she is de-
mobilizing as a preliminary step to
the probable signature of peace at
Lausanne ard has no intention OF
menacing the French army in Syria
as means of forcing France to
make further concessions to Turkey
at the Lausanne conference.
The Turks and allies, although I'M
shaken in their opposing views re-
garding special protection for for
eign residents of Turkey, have post
poned further formal consideration
of the question that is threatening
the success of the conference until
the last possible moment.
Situation Less Critical.
1t was said tonight that the con-
ference situation was less critical
than yesterday, owing to the desire
of the allies and Turks to reach an
agreement.
There is great interest in allied
circles as to whether the American
representatives will make a move
calculated to strengthen the allied
position by urging the Turkish del
egation to grant great power to the
legal advisory board and thus satisfy
American residents IN Turkey.

league. including w. q. Foster and
c. f. Ruthenberg.

the ideal of men whose slogan was
"amalgamate or anihilate.'
IF these men had all the gold of
the capital class in their pocket they
could not better serve the capitalist
to the detriment of the working man
than by doing just what they arc
doing"
Despite their efforts. he said. the
American Federation of labor was
going to maintain the labor move
ment along the logical. rational.
natural and ..storical lines denoted
in the progress of their develop
ment."
Mr.. Gompers' address was deliv-

DEADLOCKE END
RUHR IS.
ANTICIPATED.
European Leaders Optimistic
Over Counter Proposals
France Will Make To
Germany-A|lies To
Meet On Tuesday

LONDON, May 1.-The French and
Belgian governments, after formal
ly rejecting the thirty billion gold
mark offer of Germany, Will send to
Berlin a communication containing
the minimum sum which is accept
able as reparations. 1t was disclosed
today. This has caused much OPP
timism among the statesmen of Eu-
rope. who now believe that the begin
ming of the end of the Ruhr deadlock
is IN sight.
French and Belgian officials are
to confer in Paris Tuesday, concern
ing what demands are to be made of
Germany and plan to have a draft
of their proposal ready in about a
week. Although the announcement
from Paris stated that only the
Franco Belgians would confer con-
corning the demand. it Is certain that
the Marquis of Crewe. British am
bassador to Paris. will be called into
the conference.
Poincnre Changes Attitude.
Premier Poincare. in deciding to
make proposition to Germany, has
gone counter to his previous declara
tons that it was up to Germany to
make an offer which is acceptable to
the allies.
The formal note of rejection OK the
thirty billion offer is to be trans
mitted to the allied gover>>Sents and
the United States by he Franco Bel
gian governments this afternoon, but
will not be forwarded to Germany
until Sunday morning.
Premiers Poincare and Theunis,
after several days of negotiations
finally agreed on a joint reply to
Germany today. Poincare, in his
final draft, embodied some of the
suggestions of Theunis.
1t was revealed that Great Britain
plans to dispatch a note to Germany
simultaneously with the Franco-Bel-
gian communication. The Marquis of
Crewe conferred with Premier Poin-
care today and informed the latter
of Britain's intention to send note
to Berlin, but promised it would not
be contradictory to the Franco Bel
gian communication.
O o O
Points In Rejection.
The Franco Belgian note of reJec-
ton will make the following points:
That the German communication is
prima facie evidence that the Berlin
government, it If desired, could stop
passive resistance in the Ruhr.
That Germany evidently considers
the treaty of Versailles scrap OF
paper.
That the sum Germany offers is en-
tirely inadequate.
