Quebracho (for tanning purposes)

You will note the importance of
most Of these commodities to the
farmer
The value of our total imports of
the above in 1923 exceeded 1928, ,0OO,-
coo and prices are undoubtedly much
higher than would otherwise be the
case. There are several others of
partial control or of minor order ag-
gregating altogether large sums.
The prices of these commodities en-
ter into the cost of living of all our
people. An instance of the special
Importance to the farmer lies in sisal
for binder twine, where although
present prices are possibly not eXtor-
tionate, yet few years ago they were
deliberately advanced 800 per cent,
and during the period fully $10O,O0O,-
600 of excess prices was taken from
our producers, which apparently did
not even reach the Mexican farmer.
Such combinations cannot, Of course,
be effectively reached under the Sher-
man Act, as they are or can be seat
ed outside of our jurisdiction.
This Department has given a great
deal Of thought to measures which
can be taken in protection of the
American consumer Indirect secur-
ity can be obtained in some instances
by the stimulation of production in
other parts of the world free from
these controls and in other eases by
the encouragement of synthetic man
ufacture in our own borders. Yet
these measures at best require much
time before they could afford protec-
ton. They will not apply in all cases
We shall be able at later date tC
offer some recommendation in these
directions.

The Supreme Court
UphoIds Labor Law
(By Federated Press)

New York-Organized labor here
has been following closely the case of
Joseph Radico, Buffalo restaurant
owner, who has been contesting in the
courts the legality of the New York
state labor law of 1917, regarding the
hours and time of employment of
women. After being convicted in
Buffalo for employing mattresses af-
ter 10 o'clock at night, Radico carried
his appeal to the U. S. supreme court.
He based his argument upon the 14th
amendment to the constitution, rela-
tive to restriction of freedom of con-
tract between adults.
In its decision the supreme court
upholds the state labor laws consti-
tutionality. The court ruled that
state is entitled to determine the con-
dition of women's employment where
ever their health and welfare is in
volved. The decision suggests that,
quite aside from the distates of hy-
giene, the employer bears certain
moral obligations to employees.

WM Some NeedfM Commodities Come
High to the Farmers
Foreign Combinations Who Actually or Partially
Control Distribution Prices on Basic
Materials Mostly Responsible

Washington - Secretary of Com
merce Hoover has written letter to
Senator Capper of Kansas in which
much light is thrown on subjects
touched upon by the Kansas senator,
who is considered a devoted champion
of farmers interests. Secretary
Hoover in his reply to Capper says:
In accord with your request | give
the following summary of our con-
clusions as to combinations in our i'm
port trade.
The last Congress made special
appropriation to this department to
provide for investigation of imported
raw materials essential to American
industry which are under control of
foreign combinations in restraint Of
price or distribution. While the re-
ports upon this topic have not all been
completed they will be ready at an
early date and abundant material is
in hand to prove unqueStlonably that
foreign monopolies or combinations
are potentially or actually in control
of prices and distribution of the fol-
lowing commodities:
SiSal for binding tWlne is controlled
through a combination of producers
reinforced by legislative action of the
Yucatan Government.
Nitrates and iodine are controlled
through a British selling agency and
reinforced by export duties in Chill.
Potash is controlled by combina-
tions Of German producers.
Crude rubber and gutta percha are
controlled by partly legislative and
partly voluntary combination Of pro
ducers in the British and Dutch Col
onies.
Quinine is controlled by combina-
ton of British producers.
Mercury is controlled by common
selling agency of Spain and Austrian
minds.

Uncle Sans Leg Pulled to the Tune
of Eleven Million Dollars by
Bethlehem Corporation

Washington-A demand was made
in the house that the attorney gen
eral collect $11 100000 from the Beth
lehem shipbuilding corporation, which
received overpayments to this amount
for vessels built during the war.
The demand was made by Con-
gresham Byrnes, who answered the
claim of Charles M. Schwab that the
Investigations now on is "hysteria"
and hurts business.
Mr.. Byrnes pointed out that Schwab
was made director general of the
emergency fleet corporation during
the war, and intimated that the Beth
lehem company received contracts on
more favorable terms than those ac-
corded competitors.
"Of course, it may be only coin
cident that within a week after the
appointment Of a committee to inves-
tigate the shipping board, Mr.. Schwab
confers with the president to advise
him that the Investigations are caus-
ing hysteria and are retarding busi-
ness" said Mr.. Byrnes. "If, in order
to drive corruption out of govern
ment it is necessary to disturb bust
ness, then | am in favor of disturbing
business"
"The government has not hesitated
to proceed against the individual who
owed 500 on his income tax" said
Mr.. Byrnes. at has not hesitated to
force dependent mothers who during
the war received overpayments, to re-
imburse the government. Now, let
the government proceed before the
election, to bring suit to recover from
Bethlehem the unconscionable profits
eXtorted by them when the nation was
in peril.
-Four years ago we heard the slo-
gan, Less government in business;
more business in government In
stead Of putting this kind of business
into government, let US put little
oldfashioned honesty into govern
ment."
