SCHOOL STUDIES
LABOR PROBLEMS
OF LARGE FARMS
Conducts Real Trial in
Arkansas
lny rhe Federatea Pressl

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark, July I'll
Experiments in the labor problems
of large scale cotton farming are be-
ing made by the agricultural school
at Russellville, Ark. This school farm
is in the heart Of an important cot
ton growing district. The labor me-
thods used are applicable to any cot
ton farm having large yields.
300 Acre Field.
There are 300 acres in field crops.
.Seventy-fve acres are in cotton.
The three hundred acre field is
worked by men. Additional help was
hired to chop the cotton to stand.
A very comfortable house is provid-
ed for each of the five men and fam
lily rent free. The men are paid S45
to $50 per month, depending on their
experience in handling the large
farm implements. Each family is fur
nished all the land it needs for a
garden and half an acre for potatoes.
In many sections Of the cotton
DelL, ldDOT COHulAiOub are lulOkoEdOAo
to both landlord and tenant.
The tenant will no longer work for
the annual income he has been get
ting on the farm nor will he live in
the uncomfortable houses on the cot
ton farms. He can move to town and
live better and more comfortably
even if he has work only part Of the
time.
Stabillzing.
It often happens under the old me-
thods on the cotton farms, that ten
ants run up a big store account and
then after the cotton is half worked
out skip out in the night. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that a worker
family living on a large tract in
comfortable house with potato patch
es and gardens will not leave in mid
season. If the modern landlord ex-
poets to keep first-class farm labor,
he must work more acres per man
and higher yield per acre. This can
be done by using modern farm imple-
ments for large scale cultivation.

GALES WON BY
MANY VOTES IN
MEX ELECTION
Flores Contest Will Go
to Congress
BY E. c. WOLFE

Federated Press staff correspondent.)
MEXICO CITY, July 21.-In spite
of very peaceful election the Mexi-
can National congress will decide
whether Gen. Gales or Gen. Flores
will be the next president of Mexico.
After the votes had been counted the
metropolitan press carried in parallel
columns-Calles Elected and Flores
Elected, based upon the reports of
their campaign committees.
1t was quiet election. All peo-
pie were disarmed. The order to
keep saloons closed was obeyed. The
night before election armored cars
were rolling majestically down the
city streets. Extra heavy police and
special guards were scattered thru
the capitol.
Quietest Election.
Election day, July 6, was one of
the quietest Sundays in Mexico. Most
people stayed at home. The wives
and mothers Of voters prayed that
their dear ones come back safe and
sound.
The government is preparing to
meet anything that may follow the
election. If another revolution breaks
out it will be put down quickly. 1t
will be impossible for the foreign
financiers and landowners to impose
Flores, for judging even from con-
sentative returns Gales won by an
overwhelming majority.
U. S. Loan Rejected.
81 deserve a rest after four years
of a presidential term which began
and ended with a revolution" was
the reply of President Obregon to the
question whether he would take the
ministry of war under Gales. In
December when his term draws to a
close he will go back to his native
state, Sonora. Questioned about g
Mexican loan from the New York
bankers, he said he preferred to leave
an empty treasury TO his successor
rather than full treasury with 8
string tied to it, string with which
American oil could strangle the Mexi
can nation.

RUSSIAN CO-OPS
BOOMING SINCE
COMMUNIST 0. K.
Poorer Peasants Unite
in Production Units
Ry ANIsE

Federated Press staff correspondent.)
MOSCOW, July 21.-Following the
encouragement given to the Russian
co-operatives by the congress of the
Communist Party, their work has been
increasing in all directions.
The peasants divide into groups Of
richer and poorer, President Kalenin
says, not so much on account of the
land they own, but of the live stock
and equipment, which becomes a tool
to exploit the poorer peasant in the
interest of the man who has horses
and plows and lends them at ruinous
rates.
Owning In Common.
Groups Of the poorer peasants COM
bine to own in common agricultural
machinery, stock breeding places, and
cooperative unions of production.
These have shown great vitality, often
raising their production above that of
the average peasant in the locality.
There are also household cooper
atives among the poorer peasants. To
these, says Kalenin, the state should
give such credit for establishing CO.
operative fishing units, for manufac-
ture of vegetable oils and similar
simple industries based on agriculture.
Big Membership Gain.
The general compaign for voluntary
members of co-operatives is proceed
ing better than was expected In
Smolensk, for instance, shareholders
increased from 1000 to $4,000, of
which 10000 paid up their shares and
the poorer members are offering labor
and transport service to pay their
shares. The number is expected to
reach 100000 in the Russian repub-
lie alone, not counting the Ukraine.
The All-Russian Cooperative bank
has increased the number of share
holders from 1921 to 1875. The Lon
don branch of this bank, which has
been held for some years by direc-
torate of emigres, has now been re-
turned to the All-Russian Cooperative
bank In Moscow. 1t brings with 1t q
balance of $3,5OO,O00 which will be
used in financing import and export
operations of the co-operatives.

Doheny Coming to
Mexico to Steal
Where Mac Failed

MEXICO CITY, July 21.-Doheny &
Co. are coming to Mexico to held a
special conference with President
Obregon. They will try again as they
tried with VIM. G. McAdoos expensive
help to completely annul article 81
Of the Mexican constitution. They
want absolute ownership in the sub
soil, which by the article can belong
to the nation. II Doheny can put his
scheme over he will procure a loan
for Mexico. II not he and his ilk will
continue their sabotage Of Mexican
law.

Duluth Strike of
Amalgamated Ends
With Compromise

DULUTH, Mimi, July 21.-Striking
members Of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers at the Duluth factory OF
F. A. Patrick & Co. are back at work.
The strike, which began March II, was
protest at the discharge of union
members and demand for union rec
ognition. The compromise restores the
jobs but gives no general union rec.
ognition. The strike had Endorsement
from the labor movement in the dis.
trict.

subject."

That is his soft pedal manner.
Here's his rough stuff
Il wrote letter the other day to my
congressman" Prize also says, land
he sent me an answer back signed by
his clerk, thanking me for my COM
munication and stating that he would
give it careful consideration.
II wrote him back not to clutter up
the mails with that sort of stuff and if
he could not answer me to say so; not

It's a safe bet the congressman re-
turned an agreeable answer.
Business to Invade Capital.
Cards are now being sent out by
the legislative committee of the ILL
nois chamber of commerce asking ev-
cry member to visit Springfield, the
state capital, during the coming ses-
sion: 1t has members in 118 Illinois
cities, comprising $4,000 business men
and business establishments.

scend on the state legislators is com
ing in a purely helpful spirit, its off,
Gals declare. 1.-THE Illinois chamber
of commerce takes very active part
in legislative affairs" they assert, mot
in a spirit of criticism and continued
faultflnding, but to help legislators un-
derstand what the needs of the state
are. From our experience in the past
we are confident that all the senators
and representatives will give the Wis
itors a hearty welcome"
Push cossack Bill.
The outstanding item in the cham
ber's legislative program is the state
mounted police or constabulary bill
which failed at the last session, but is
to be pushed with increased pressure
next session.
That the constabulary is to be used
In labor troubles is seen from the
propaganda of the business men and
bankers in its behalf. Their most fire.
quent assertion is that the force would
have been most useful in the labor
troubles at Herrin in 1922. A Mary.
land propaganda for constabularies
writes in the Illinois chambers official
organ for July: Had there been a
state police force in Illinois there
wouldn't have been that trouble in
Herrin.",

pre-war days would rise again, strong
er than ever, and the meaning of the
war for England, would be destroyed.
Therefore, the policy of England
is in no way directed towards freeing
Germany from the burden of repara-
tions, but is directed towards the eco.
nomic enslavement of Germany, and
at the same time to prevent the in
corporation of Germany into the
French impBrialist system"
France Had To Back Up.
The English policy succeeded with
the Dawes plan. France won from a
military standpoint, for the German
bourgeoisie, instead of making sacri-
fees, used the passive resistance for
their own enrichment and for the
plundering of the state Golfers. They
were at last compelled to sign agree
ments with France and pay heavy
taxes. Poincare obtained the produc-
tive pledges he was after, but France
was too weak economicallyNto consoli-
date this victory. The rapid fall of
the franc compelled her to seek the
aid of English and American bankers.
She had exhausted herself in the
struggle, just as the far-seeing Eng
lish bourgeoisie intended. She had to
abandon her hope of a French solu-
ton of the reparations problem, and
resort to a new international solu-
ton acceptable to the big interests
of England and America. The vic.
tory of the left block in the French
elections show that the French small
traders and peasants are more inter
ested in stable franc than in Poin-
cares imperialist expansion.
Bankers Grab Germany.
So the control of the German stu
alton passed into the hands of the
English and American holders Of
money, and the report of the experts
framed solution acceptable to these
people. They had a choice between
two solutions, to secure reparations,
at the cost Of sharp competition Of
Germany on the world market, with
depreciation of the mark, social un-
rest, and the risk of a revolution in
Germany: or to give up the larger
Preparations claims but gain instead
such control over the industrial pro-
cesses of Germany that they could ex.
plot her for their own benefit and
forever hold her down as a rival. The
report of the experts means that the
latter solution was taken.
Rail- And Bank Control.
1t provides a mortgage on the Ger
man railways and control of them
by the Entente. This means that
passenger and freight rates must be
kept high so that German industry
may not encourage export by low
freight rates. 1t provides a five bill.
lion mortgage on German industry;
the purpose of this is to increase the
costs of German industry and keep
it from competing. 1t provides con-
troll of the central banking institu-
tions OF Germany, which means that
the size of credits and rate Of inter
est extended to German industrialists
will be determined by the Entente
industrialists, and thus hamper Ger.
man industry. And finally, it pro-
vides that five billions of gold marks
invested in German securities shall
be held by Entente bourgeoisie, which
thus gains control in the more import
ant branches.
