/ try" The farmer-senator spoke be-
fore the progressive labor forum in
Carnegie Hall.
He characterized the Federal Re-
serve Board as black with the crime
of deflation perpetrated against sS
per cent of the people on behalf of
the financial 2 per cent. He criticized
. the Agriculture Department as being
! LOADED UP with meat packers, cotton
