Senator Knutc Nelson of MinncSo-
Ia, wrote letter recently to +. "A.
Wcstin of New Ulm, Mimi, explain
ing his post .on regarding farm
problems. The letter follows:
Dear Sir:
your favor of the 26th is at
hand. am as anxious as you are to
help the farmers as far as it can
possibly be done, help them get bet
ter market for their products, and
help them get better credits; but it
is different proposition to handle.
"Thc fundamental trouble is the
attitude Of organized labor through
cut the country. They are still in
sisting upon wartime wages and
they are getting now more than 100
percent, the railroad laborcrs, than
they did in 1915.
"Although the labor board reduc-
cd wages of the shopmcn only II
percent, leaving them still with IL
wage of from 20 cents to IS cents
an hour, they struck, and the strike
accomplished endless injury to the
farmers. 1t crippled the railroads
transportat on as cXpediously as
needed for lack of cars and locomo-
tvcs. When a railroad is in regu-
lar operation and everything is rum
ming smoothly. the cars and locomo-
tivcs after trip are examined and
if anything is out of order it is i'm
mediatcly repaired; but owing to
the strike, that could not be done,
and the railroads had great difficulty
and have not yet recovered from it.
believe if it had been for the strike
we would have a reduction in rail-
road rates before this.
"What is a mystery to me is that
the farmers who want lower trans
portation rates, will combine with
the railroad men, who want war
time wages. To mes the two things
seem diamctrically opposed to each
, other
"Thc prices the farmer gets for
his production compared to the
prices he received before the Great
war, are not so bad. What the farm
crs suffer from is the high price for
everything he buys and that comes
from the high cost Of organized la
Dor which enters into all produc-
ton. The men operating the coal
; mines and the men engaged in var
ous manufacturing industries, al
! insist on retaining the high wages
that they got during the war and OF
course, in fact of that situation, il
is difficult for prices to come down
as you can readily see on reflec,
! tion.
''The government was enabled
during the war period, to pay the
prices to the farmers that it did fol
their wheat, but it was owing to tn.
fact that the government formed {
grain corporation to handle the
grain and sold it to the warning ma
tions of Europe, and they were
obliged to pay our wartime price:
at that time. They had to deal will
our grain corporation and they alb
salutely needed our wheat suppl.
and it was furnished through th'
corporation. But we paid for it our
selves. The proceeds Of the Libert.
bonds were loaned to those coun
tries in Europe to buy our agricul
tural products. The money we loan
ed them did not leave the country
it was devoted to the purchase o
agricultural products on behalf o
those countries in Europe and al
have got in rlacc Of it is their gov
ernment bonds. which except in tn
case of England, are of little value
The Bismarck tribune., 1923-03-30
SENATOR NELSON BLAMES WAGES
FOR PREVAILING HIGH PRICES

wartime conditions do not exist
now and we cannot force the coun~
tries of Europe to buy from US as
we did during the war, as YOU can
readily see on reflection.
"lf prices for what the farmer has
to buy would come down in proper
ton to what the farmer has suffer
ed in dcflation it would not be diff
ticut for the farmers.
"Iou use this expression in your
letters: "Is there any wonder that
the result of the last general cleo
ton turned out the way it did, etc
The only wonder to me is that the
rarmers combined with organized
labor when the two are .diametrical-
ly opposed to each other. In other
words, the farmers combined with
the element of the population that
was insisting on maintaining war
time wages, and railroad and union
labor got the best of the bargain.
Until the farmers can see where
their true interests lie, it is exceed
ingly difficult to help them as they
ought to be helped.
Low prices for what the farmer
sells ,and nigh prices arising from
lnordinate cost of union labor for
everything the farmer has to buy,
including railroad transportation
and coal upply, is the difficulty.
IL am today, owing to the great
strike, paying two dollars ton
more for coal here in Washington
than l paid year ago and the min
ers are getting more than twice the
wages they did before the war. The
strike of the miners and the strike
of the railroad shopmen coming at
the same time as they did, worked
endless injury to the country and
worst of all to the farmers.
al hope you will study over these
things and think them over. AS an
intelligent man you cannot hclr
but see that the situation is as
have depicted it.
81 am as anxious Il anyone to help
the farmer and have always felt
