to pay anywhere from rs percent to
300 percent:

rived from the live stock you have
shipped to them.

earth.

while the members of our organized
labor are receiving from seven dollars
a day to eighteen dollars a day for

many others who have laboreI d'li-
gently and honestly from twelve
fours per day to eighteen hours Per

that while things look extremely blue
and depressing for the farmer. rancs-
err. stockman and many of our 9
chants just now. we have full conf
dence that justice will eventually
prevail, and that the United States

now Is the only country on earth fit
to live in. and worth fighting for.
