Farmers Can Not Rely
On European Markets,
Says Economics Institute

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-That the farm
ers of America must rely largely
on their own efforts to improve
their economic condition, as urged by
the American Federation. of Labor
and progressive farmers organiza-
tions, is the inference of report
made by the institute of economics
on European markets.
For the United States to plan
it's agricultural future on the assump-
tion that Europe may be induced to
buy large quantities Of American
foodstuffs at higher prices than now
prevail would be to build on quick
sand," says the conclusion of the in
stitute's report, which is based on an
exhaustive study of European needs,
European purchasing power and the
competition offered by other food
producing countries. The study was
made by DR.. Edwin G. Nourse, mem
Der Of the council of the institute and
president of the American Farm Eco
nomics Association.
Grain Exports Long Declining
"The limited European market
which now confronts the American
farmer" says the institute, "is the
result of conditions which were de-
veloping even before the war About
the turn of the century American ag-
ricultural exports began to decline,
owing to combination of influences.
European countries were increasing
their own production of foodstuffs,
and the competition of Canada, South
Amreica, South Africa, and Austral-
asia for the European markets was
increasing. At the same time the
growth of our domestic market was
lessening our exportable surplus.
"The great war reversed this cur
rent for time. Not only were the
European demands for foodstuffs in
creased; but, in consequence Of the
shipping problem, the United States
became the most available source of
supply. In response to the increased
demand and to the cry food will win
the war; food production was great
ly increased. Prices were high and
unprecedented, prosperity came to
our farmers, resulting in the disas-
trous land boom with which all are
familiar.
Wartime Demand Collapsed
"When the war ended it was
naively assumed that these wartime
demands and wartime prices would
continue indefinitely. Immediately
following the armistice they did con
tinue for time, being made posi-

now, as always, against all attempts
to put the government into business.
"Organized business said, 'Ameri-
can industry requires the highest
standard of public and private moral
ity.' The Cleveland platform says,
We recognize the duty of constant
vigilance to preserve at all times a
clean and honest government and to
bring to the bar of justice every de-
filer of the public service in or out of
office
Budget and Tax Demands Are
High
"Organized business said, we
pledge our continued support to the
national budget system The Cleve-
land platform says, The budget sys-
TEN has been firmly established.
We commend the firm in
sistence of President Coolidge upon
rigid government economy and
pledge him our earnest support to this
end
"Organized business asked for tax
reform. The Cleveland platform
pledges the party to further tax re-
duction, as rapidly as may be done
with due regard for the essential ex-
penditures of the government and
adds that progressive tax reduction
should be accomplished through tax
reform
Other Similarities Are Pointed Out

stable and constructive policy toward
the railroads. The platform says,

mot TRUE"
Says Bureau Disputing
Claim That Women Work
For Wages Only
Temporarily

Washington.-Fig on women in
Alabama industries, issued by the
federal women's bureau, contradict
the theory that women wage earners
are for the most part young persons
who work for wages temporarily.
Twenty-eight per cent of the women
reporting were between 16 and 20
years old, 1856 per cent between 20
and 80, and 28.9 per cent between 80
and so.
Sixty per cent of the women report
ing had been working three years or
longer; az per cent, five years or long
er, and 22.3 per cent, 10 years Or
longer in the trade in which they were
occupied at the time of the survey
Because the idea persists that
women are in industry only during
brief periods" says the report, "there
is a marked tendency to put them
at work at low skilled jobs where
there is obviously less economic ad-
vantage, less pressure to keep them
from shifting to other jobs.
approximately 60 per cent of the
women contributed all they made to
the family income, per cent contrib
uted nothing financially, and "a per
cent had definite and appreciable
amount of work to do at home daily.
These facts bear upon the need for
limiting hours of employment and for
discontinuing discrimination in wage
rates on the basis of sex"
Alabama is one of the five states
that make no attempt to control the
hours of working women. Because
the majority of the working women
who were studied do home work, the
report states that 'it is particularly
essential that the demands of their
industrial employment be kept well
within their supply of strength"

roads,
"Organized business characterized
unrestricted immigration as an un-
mixed evil The platform indorses
the recently enacted immigration law;
the present tariff law and its flexible
provisions, and the American mer-
chant marine.
"There are other minor similarities,
but the foregoing planks furnish the
high lights. 1t is significant that with
their adoption by the Cleveland con-
vention there became manifest dur
ing the week the first STRINGS of
what business organizations here hope
will grow into new revival of in
dustrial activity

States, however, could not go on for
ever, and the inevitable collapse
came in 1920.
Today" concludes the institute,
"the pre-war trend of decreasing ex-
ports has been renewed in intensi-
fed form. Europe's agricultural pro-
duction is being restored faster than
the buying power of her cities. And
the competition of rival producing
areas is keener than ever before.
The whole economic tide is against an
increase of European demands and
high prices for American foodstuffs in
the immediate future The solution of
the farmers ills must therefore be
sought in internal readjustments to
changed world situation"

UNION PUNISHED
Court Upholds Act of
Plumbers International

New York.-The appellate division
of the supreme court has ruled that
when local union disburses strike
benefits. illegally and refuses to re-
fund the money its international
union has the right to seize it's char
ter.
Four years ago, Peeksville plumb
ers went on strike, and that interna-
tional paid strike benefits. The inter-
national officers later discovered that
some of the strike benefits were paid
to members who worked at other oc-
cupations during the strike. A de-
mand was made on the local for a
return of this money, and non
compliance with the request resulted
in forfeiture of the locals charter.
A lower court ordered the interna-
tional to reinstate the charter, but
on appeal by the international this
decision was unanimously reversed by
the appellate division.
The higher court ruled that every
opportunity was given the Peeksskill
local to reinstate itself, and that the
local was clearly guilty of receiving
strike benefits and disbursing same in
defiance of the general rules and prac-
tices Of the United Association OF
Plumbers and Steam Filters.
The decision is along a uniform line
of rulings by higher courts that wher
men agree to abide by rules of g
trade union or other organization they
can not expect relief from courts
when they are disciplined for violating
these rules.

Two months ago the railroad
workers of Cuba went on strike, de-
manding certain readjustments in
conditions and wages. After a strug-
gle the strike was settled and an
agreement entered into. About a
month ago the railroads violated the
agreement, whereupon the strike was
renewed for the sole purpose of en-
forcing the agreement already signed
by the roads.
In violating the agreement with
the workers the roads sought to strike
a blow at the unions which, if sue
cessful, would have resulted in de-
struction of the organizations and
restoration of old anti-union condi-
tions. The Cuban railroad workers,

Big Business Voices Satisfaction
With Republican Party Platform;
Wins TweIue of Thirteen PLanks

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-"Big business y
acting through the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, has presented
to the republican and democratic par
ties a series of thirteen platform de-
mands.
Harden Colfax, writing in the
Washington Evening Star, says that
twelve of the thirteen big business
planks were written into the repub-
lican platform at Cleveland.
"Open Shop Plank Wins Qualified
Approval
Of the thirteenth plank Colfax
says big business regards the plat
form declaration, not as denial of
what big business wants, but as "a
-antagonistic declaration of prin-
ciples." This plank evidently was the
big business "open shop plank
which as set forth in the big busi-
ness series of demands reads as fol-
lows:
''To select and pursue any lawful
business or occupation, to make legiti-
mate agreements in furtherance
thereof, and to be secure in the re-
ward of effort, is a fundamental right
of both liberty and property. AL

Efficient Output Called Essential
There is another paragraph includ-
ed in this plank, which, taken in con.
junction with the first, is mere mean
ingless platitude. 1t is:
/ Efficient production is essential te
individual and nation prosperity. Il
is obtained only through the success
ful cooperation of management, capi
tai and labor. The mutual good will
essential to the maintenance of theil
right relations, must originate and be
sustained within each establishment

derstanding which cannot be manu-
factured by law"

COAL OWNERS
DEFEATED
The West Virginia Miners
Charged With Murder
and Treason Released

Fayetteville, W. Va-Coal owners
have been defeated in their attempt
to railroad" officials of the Miners
Union to the penitentiary.
Treason and murder charges against
G. Frank Keeney, Fred Mooney and
William Blizzard have collapsed.
The prosecution told the circuit
court here that former trials have
produced only negative results and
that many material witnesses have
disappeared, making further action
futile.
The charges were based on the
march of miners during the strike
of three years ago. Infiamed by the
coal owners gun men, citizens form
ed mob to march into Logan county,
the home of the gun men. Trade
/, union officials induced the mob to
abandon their wild venture. In a
statewide campaign the coal owners
pictured the accused as riding at the
head of thousands of miners bent on
overthrowing the government. The
miners were indicted in Logan county,
but they secured change of venue
from that center of union hate. To
escape the coal owners poison prop
aganda they later secured venue
changes from Morgan and Greenbrier
counties.
The coal owners made no attempt
to conceal their support of the prose
cution. Their attorneys directed the
fight and their money made it posi-
