FACTS VS.. FICTION ABOUT
WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
AMERICAN FARMERS


which the American farmer has lost as
result of the refusal of the United
States to become identified with Eu-
ropes quarrels? What has become of
the markets which the League of Ma
lions advocates and those who wish
this country to become identified in
European politics say must be frees
tablished" before the farmer can have
a return of prosperity What is fact
and what is fiction in all this propa-
ganda?
The following are from the records
Of the Department of Commerce:
Exports of wheat: 1912, 81 ,654.52
bushels: 1913. 9s.50S.96s bushels; 1922
III months) 155,O15271 bushels.
Exports wheat flour: 1912, 10,621,-
541 barrels; 1913, 12,27S.2O6 barrels;
1922 III months) 13.524,273 barrels
Exports corn: 1912. 3O.s79,sO0 bush
els; 1913. 45.2s675s bushels; 1922 III
months) 1873, S50,964, bushels
Exports fresh pork: 1912. 2.6O7.659
pounds: 1913, 3.1s2.67s pounds: 1922
III months) 21,023.452 pounds.
Exports ham and shoulders: 1912.
176.O5S,S10 pounds; 1913. 1871. 407
pounds: 1922 III months) 263.457.317
pounds.
Exports bacon: 1912. 192.O21.65S
pounds 1913. 212 ,797, 61s pounds; 1922
Q1 months) 3O2 1852 ,633 pounds.
These are but few of the major
items of agricultural exports for pre-
war periods when conditions were
IL months of 1922 upon which the De-
partment of Commerce has complete
figures. They show that the talk
about the farmer having lost his Eu-
ropean markets because of Americas
isolation since the war is pure fabri-
cation.
The trouble with American agricul,
ture is not lack of foreign markets.
The American farmer has had larger
foreign markets since the war than in
any period prior to the war.
The trouble with American agricul-
ture is not the price received for
farm products. In dollars and cents
the average price OF farm products
today is higher than it was in 1913 or
1912.
The trouble with American agricul
ture today is the fact that the farmers
dollar has a lower purchasing power
than II had prior to the war. It will
not buy as much railroad transporta-
ton. II will not buy as much general
manufactured products as II did prior
to the war.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace Is
pretty good authority upon farm mat.
tiers. and he is authority for the state
ment that the purchasing power Of the
farmers dollar is from Is to IS per
cent less now than It was in 1913,
while the purchasing power of the dol
lar OF the railroad employe. the miner.
and the average industrial worker is
higher today than It was in 1918.
Obviously. this situation cannot be
remedied by Americas entering Eu.
ropean politics. It is a domestic stu
alton to be handled and remedied sole
ly by domestic legislation. What Eu-
rope does or does not do has nothing
at all to do with the relatively low pur-
chasing power Of the American farm
er's dollar.

PLENTY WORKERS
No Labor Scarcity in New
York State

Albany, n Y.-Reports received
from employers indicate that the
sources of labor are not yet exhaust
ed, says Bernard L. Shientag, state
industrial commissioner, in his
monthly statement on unemployment
in New York state factories in Feb
ruary This reference to unemploy-
ment by the state official best ac-
quainted with labor conditions is a
contrast to claims by advocates of
free immigration
With the aid Of a funkey press the
public has been led to believe that in
dustry is PROSTATE because of a labor
shortage Now the one man in the
state who is in a position to speak
with authority on this subject says
that while the number of factory
workers has increased / per cent from
January to February, the sources of
labor are not yet exhausted"
Il is stated that the level of fac
tory employment is within Z per cent
Of the maximum during the expan-
sion of 1919-1920

INFANT MORTALITY
Caused By Low Wages.
Finds Children's Bureau

Washington-O again the Unit
ed States children's bureau declares
that low earnings of the father is
mainly responsible for the employ
ment of the mother, with its long
train of evils to children and the
home
The bureau affrms former state
ments in a report on infant mortality
following its study of conditions in
Baltimore.
The evidence shows that the moth
er's employment away from home
during the infants first year of life
is detrimental to the infants health
The mortality rate among the ba-
bes included in the study whose
mothers were employed away from
home during the babies first year of
life was found to be one and one
half times the rate among babies of
mothers not so employed The evil
effects Of the fathers low wages is
indicated by this statement:
"Of the mothers in families in which
the fathers earned less than $3.50
there We're 292 per cent gainfully
employed away from home during
pregnancy, while only ID per cent of
the mothers in families in which the
fathers earnings were 81 $50 or over
We're 50 employed at that period
"The greater prevalence of moth
ers' employment in the low income
groups is evidently a factor in the
high infant mortality rate which
characterizes families with low in
comes
Previous reports Of the children's
bureau on infant mortality have
shown definite connection between
income and infant mortality. AS the
income increases, the infant death
rate decreases. This Baltimore study,
based on a larger group than the pre-
vious studies, permits closer analy-
sis of the single factor of employ
ment Of mothers.

BY CLINT c. HOUSTON

BY international Labor News Service.
Chicago months of the rail
road shopmens strike finds this great
struggle for human justice being con
tinued with grim determination by
the seven organizations affiliated
with the Railway Employees depart
ment, American Federation of Labor.
To date some 144 roads have made
settlements under terms Of the Bal
timore agreement and approximately
225,000 of the men who suspended
work July l, 1922, have returned to
their Jobs OF the l75,000 still barred
from employment on the "die-hard'
roads, perhaps half have obtained
whole or part time work in other IN
dustries.
Under the Baltimore agreement
each system federation is authorized
to negotiate settlement with the
carrier. In only a few instances, on
short lines, has the strike thus been
voted off. This is the best proof that
the men who suspended work as a
last resort to maintain their rights
have no thought of surrender to the
railroad autocrats. Reports to the
interstate commerce commission by
the carriers themselves, as required
by law, show that the bad situation
on the holdout roads is growing pro
gressively worse.
When the strike started nine
months ago most of these roads had
considerable serviceable rolling stock
in reserve. This has been exhausted
and the railroad equipment plants
are now flooded with orders for new
locomotives and cars to supplant dis
carded and unserviceable stocks.
Strikebreakers, as rule, have done
more damage in the shops than repair
work. For instance, when the strike
began in July the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn had 726 stored serviceable loco
motives. In December rot single
available locomotive was in reserve.
To supply this loss of motive power
in part the Pennsylvania has been
compelled to order $40 new locomo-
tives-115 in September, 1922, and
225 in January, 1923.
5000 Strikebreakers Fail in Jobs
of 800 Union Men
One illustration will show how
strikebreakers have failed to fill the
jobs of efficient workmen In June
800 craftsmen were employed at the
Crestline, Ohio, shops of the Penn
sylvania system. Every man sus-
pended work on July /. Since then
and up to March /, according to the
company's own records, $500 strike
