Careful, MT. Duranty!

long shifts and establish the uniform eight-hour day, but the operators al ways were strong enough to prevent this reform until this year. We were determined that the nine to I4 hour day should be wiped out. The long hour day is un-American It does not fit in with the American idea of a square deal in industry. We wiped it out From now on anthracite work CTS will enjoy the eight-hour day in every job in the anthracite region.
 When we add to these two great achievements the further gain of recognition of the union and estab- lishment of the principle of collective bargaining in the anthracite region we feel that we have gained one of the most notable victories ever achieved in the coal mining industry. Says "Check-Of" Will Come in Due Time.
 Establishment of the check-off sys- tenn for the collection of union dues in the anthracite field is still live issue The check-off is sure to come in due time Coal companies can not consistently and with justice collect debts for themselves and others through the check-of and refuse to grant the United Mine Workers ot America the same business courtesy. Many railroads use the check-ott for collection of dues of their employees as members of their company unions, and some of the railroads are owners of anthracite coal mines or are in terested in the anthracite industry and are among those who refuse to grant the check-off to the United Mine Workers of America. Such in consistency can not prevail tor long: They must yet agree to the check-o1 for the United Mine Workers.

SOVIET BAN ON SPEECH AND PRESS
 IS DUE TO FEAR
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service New York, Sept. 22.-Fear causes l the Soviet government ban on fIee- dom of press, speech and assemblage This Is the purport of special ca b1e to the New York Times from Walter Duranty, it's correspondent in Russia. As Duranty is known to be sympathetic with the Soviet regime, hi sdispatch is all the more signifi- cant. It follows, in part:
 London, Sept I2.-Freedom of speech as the term is understood in America does not exist in Russia. Newspapers all are state-controlled and nothing may appear that does not
 meet the approval of the censorship
 The same applies to all public speak ing-indeed, even private meetings are strictly controlled.
 Putting it in nutshell, no opposi- ton to the government, either writ ten or spoken, IS allowed. In this re- spect anyway the Communist admit their Dictatorship of the Proletariat' is despotism, but they defend it on practical grounds.
 Freedom of speech and the press in America and England,' the say, are the slow outcome of a centuries long fight for personal liberty. How can you expect Russia, just emerged from blackest tyranny, to share the attitude of AngloSaxons who struck the first blow against royal tyrants a thousand years ago at Runnymede? Our revolution is so recent we still may be considered in a virtual con dition of war, and Western nations admit the necessity of press control when the safety of the state is at stake
 "The third argument put forward is that a majority of the Russian people are in such backward posi- ton as to fall an easy prey to any cunning speaker or writer, and must therefore be protected against such in their own interest-the same req soning as shown in a previous dis patch, which was used to justify the Communist dictatorship.
 "One high Russian official put it more bluntly:
 "'The real truth of the matter is that the press and speech restrictions,

Big Car Crowds
Ford Over Grade:
One Badly Hurt

One was seriously hurt when
Ford car was pushed off the grade
east Of Menoken Sunday night about
1880 o'clock by Hudson six, ac-
cording to the report of occupants of
the Ford.
The occupants of the Ford, Mrs. J.
c. Tilton and children, Miss Ward
and Mrs. Stilwell and Mr.. Springer,
saw the big car approaching and had
turned out to the very edge of the
road when the big car crowded them
still further until their car turned
over as it went over the embankment.
causing the serious injury of Miss
Ford who sustained fractured rib
and spinal injuries while the other
occupants of the car were badly
bruised, Mrs. Tilton asserts. The
Ford was moving very slowly or the
accident would have been much more
serious. The occupants of the big
car did not stop to inquire about the
victims OF the accident, but drove on
and the victims were picked up later
by other cars passing, and brought
to Bismarck.
The Ford was considerably damap-
ed.

Ready to Play Part I
There was. no specific reference
to the British proposals for solu-
ton of the reparations difficulty, but
insofar as the British plan ran along
with the suggestions made by Secre-.
tary Hughes in his New Haven
speech, undoubtedly the Washington
government still stands ready to
play part in a new determination
of the economic condition of Ger
many.
Whether that part would be
through official participation by the
government or not, it would have
governmental sanction should the ala
lies ultimately conclude to follow
some such course.
So far as the present tense situa-
ton between Great Britain and Italy
on the one hand and France and
Belgium on the other is concerned,
American officials have no comment
to make and there is no indication
that the coming of President Coolidge
to his new post will affect the Amer
lean attitude.
The cabinet yesterday did not dis
cuss foreign affairs. A spokesman for
the president, in making this fact
known, added that it might be regard
ed as hopeful sign.

STOP OVERPRODUCTION
Burden of Too Great
Production Falls Upon
Farmers

Springfield. H., Aug Is. - Gre
alton by the United States Of a ma
iioral wheat corporation which
would establish basic minimum
price for all American wheat. and
employ other measures for stabil-
ling the wheat market is advocat-
Cd by l. A. Madden. farm advisor
fer Sangamon county, and well
known in Illinois as farm author
i;y.
Allowing the surplus OF Amer
lean wheat to set the price OF
American farm crops must stop ii
the farmer is to be saved from
ruin said Mr.. Madden in outlin-
ing hi, plan.
"Thc United States should char
ter national wheat corporation
and appropriate sufficient funds
for working capital. This corpor-
alton should then establish basic
minimum wheat price for all
American wheat offered at the
basic minimum price. then the ma
tional when corporation should
step in and buy wheat.
Until conditions are more stable
in foreign countries, the wheat ex-
ported would have to be sold at
less than the basic minimum price.
To make up the loss sustained on
exported wheat every bushel Of
wheat marketed should be assessed
with differential tax. This tax
would vary with the surplus pro-
duced. If the basic price was such
that there was an OverprOduction.
then the tax would lower the farm
crs' price to where over production
would be discouraged, while II
there was shortage of wheat the
tax would be lessened and produc-
ton stimulated.
This plan would. not interfere
with the present grain trade, with
the development of cooperative
marketing. nor with the chance OF
price above the basic minimum
to the farmer who chooses to hold
his wheat until after the harvest
rush. 1t would, without substituting
agriculture, put the labor and cap
ital of the American farmer on a
plane with the capital and labor of
other industries.
at would eliminate market gluts
due to overproduction placing the
burden of overproduction entirely
upon the farmer. The consumer Of
wheat in the United States would
be asked to give the farmer an
equal chance. Only the extremely
selfish would deny this.
Approximately six hundred mil
lion bushels are consumed at home
and two hundred million bushels
are exported. This surplus is
milestone around the neck OF agri-
cultural prices"
The suggestion that American
citizens should be induced to buy
wheat was denounced by Mr.. Mad
den, who said this plan would only
aggregate the situation because, ut
increases the amount of the sur
plus held in America, which SOON
err or later will cause prices to fall
to lower levels"
