Farmers Suffer For
Want of Facilities
All Agricultural Products Usually Sold
"Deiivered."

Washington-Ino opening the Senate
debate upon the merchant marine bill,
Senator Jones, of Washington, chair
man of the Senate Committee on Com
merce, which has charge of the bill in
the Senate, devoted considerable at
tention to the argument that the
American farmer does not need an
American merchant marine. In speak
ing on this point, Senator Jones said,
in part
There is a great deal of talk about
the farmer wanting to ship by the
cheapest transportation method. and
appeals are made to the farmer that
under present conditions British ship.
ping and other foreign shipping is the
cheapest. and it is asked of the farm
er. What difference does it make TO
you so you get your products carried
in the cheapest way"
That may be all right in one year
That may have been all right during
the % years before the World War.
But when the World War came, the
loss the American farmer suffered in
one or two years more than over
balanced the cheaper rates ne Hau re
ceived for 25 years. He not only had
to pay the high rates received for con
veying his products. but he had to pay
his part of the $4,000. 10000 spent to
build ships. What happened to ship
rates. am going to read summary
that Mr.. McAdoo gave in an official
report which shows what the farmer
Is up against when he depends upon
foreign shipping in an emergency"
Senator Jones quoted at length from
n report made to the United States
Senate by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo in response to a resolution of
the Senate when that body was con
sidering the question of appropriations
for the construction of a fleet OF Amer
ican ships. In that report Mr., McAdoo
called attention to the fact that at the
outbreak of the European war in 1914
there were only IS vessels OF 1000
tons or over flying the American flag
and engaged in overseas las distin-

guished from coastwise) commerce.
Mr.. McAdoo's report continued with
the comment:
AT time when we have the most
to sell and customers abroad are eager
to buy, the fact that our ocean-carry-
ing facilities are in the hands of
others subject to war risks and con
trolled by interests not our own stares
us in the face. Were we dependent
today upon the facilities we ourselves
have for doing foreign trade, that
trade could not be carried. Our cot
ton would lie idle in our warehouses
and our wheat and other crops would
rot in storage. We are forced to take
the chances of war and to ship in
belligerent bottoms. In shipping cir
cles IL is estimated that 30 per cent
of the total tonnage available has been
eliminated through the tying up of the
German and Austrian marine and
through the Communicating of such a
large portion of the British marine by
the admiralty. Not only has there
been a great reduction in the available
supply of tonnage. but there has been,
on account Oh lHt VI
war supplies and the great profits that
can be derived from shipments, a cor
responding increase in the demand for
ships. The inevitable result has been
steady increase in steamship rates.
at will be observed that the great
est increase in rates and the heaviest
tax has been imposed upon the prod
ucts in which the American farmer is
most concerned-namely. grain and
cotton. While the steamship com
panies have imposed conscientiousless
taxes in the form of increased rates
on grain amounting to as much as 900
per cent, they have placed an even
heavier burden on cotton, where the
increase in rates is as high as 100
per cent.
Grain, cotton and other commodi-
ties are usually sold delivered at the
port of destination. When steamship
companies raise the cost of delivery
of grain from cents to 60 cents per
bushel. il makes n vast difference in
the price the farmer receives for his
product. When ocean freight charges
| on cotton are raised from sl.25 to SIS
per bale. the price at which the
planter sells his cotton is seriously
reduced"

BOSTON TO HAVE LAB OR BANK
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
FIans to Establish One There
by Next Spring.

Boston probably will have a bank
owned and operated by the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers by
spring, one of the chain Of banks now
established or being established by
organized labor.
With the establishment Of these
labor banks the conflict between cap
ital and labor is taking a new turn.
Labor is meeting capital on Its own
grown-finances and credit.
Since the early part Of 1920 organ
lied labor has launched successfully
in various parts Of the country IA
banks. and has bought substantial in
terests In two other large banks. Be-
fore the close Of October, three other
banks are to be operated by labor or at
least will be placed in position to
open within very short time.
Richard Boeckel, author Of "Labor's
Money" describing the inception and
growth Of this movement, says that
the total resources Of banks estab-
tlished by labor are not less than $780,
100000 and that before the close of
1924 the number Of these banks Will
be doubled and their resources will
reach $1OO,OOO,OO0.
! The bank planned for Boston by the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
unless some other labor bank Is es-'
.tablished In New England at an earl
Ter date, will be the first labor bank
Opened in that section Of the country.
New England with its Industrial CEN
.ters, however, Ia considered likely
ground for many Of these banks even
,tually.
With one exception the labor banks
$50 far established are on the cooper
Iative plan. The bylaws Of the banks
provide for Limitation upon the divi-
'dends that may be paid to stockhold-
ers-from to 10 per cent-and for
division Of earnings in excess Of these
amounts with dspositors. The aver
age rate of dividends paid by national
banks in the country In 1922 was 1.69
per cent.

Immigrants FIeeCed
At Home and Abroad
(By Federated Press)

New York-Behind the American
law to restrict immigration host of
swindlers, both here and abroad, have
taken shelter and are busy fleeing
aliens ambitious to enter the United
States.
The game is to assure the would-be
immigrant that there are many side
doors of admission to this country;
and then leave the victim lured from
his native peasant surroundings
stranded somewhere in Cuba, Mexico,
or South America.
Elbin Kristan, Jugoslav commits
sioner of emigration, now visiting in
New York, furnishes a graphic mar
rative told by one victim. A trans
lation of the account, made by the
Foreign Language Information serv-
ice here, reads as follows:
"Many of us left (Jugoslavia) for
France in order to get work there.
Many crooked agents mingle among
the men and tell them how easy it is
to enter the United States from Cuba
or Mexico, and ten of us left for
Mexico. When we reached there we
came upon another agent who knew
four languages and who asked 500,
promising to help US and assuring us
Of our safe entry into the United
States.
eve went to Juarez. About in the
evening we came to body of water
with the intention of crossing. There
we were held up by three Mexicans,
who Srobbed US. They stole every
thing we had They Threatened to
shoot us and l certainly thought it
was my last hour. We were COM
PEELED to go ahead because they were
afraid we would return and report
their deeds
eve finally came to the American
side of the border without cent.
Then we had no nerve to go back. In
the evening we came to Ell Paso. There
we received directions and made our
decision to go to Colorado. We
travelled at night and slept during the
day, hungry and thirsty, covering
about 70 miles on foot. Around mid
night the police got hold of us and
took us to Ell Paso prison. | was in
Jail month, and was then sent to
New York via New Orleans.
Each of us spent at least $400. l
myself spent $3.50. My only desire
now is to be sent back as soon as pos
sible to my family which is in dire
need. For the money l have spent
trying to get into the United States
illegally l could have travelled to
America like gentleman.

Like,

Beauty likes attractive appearance.
We can't all be wearing major gen.
erals uniforms because Congress
won't permit it and they're not in
style just now anyhow.
But there's no reason why a man
shouldn't present an attractive ap-
pearance every day. If you want to
do that without buying new suit
every fortnight, you've got to get a
GOOD suit. It's the only kind that
will keep On looking good. But, for
economy, it beats trying to go into
the wholesale clothing business, to
keep your appearance always up to
snuff.
A Kincaid-Kimball Suit is a GOOD

scheduled to appear at the meeting
