Selection of Lawyer Butler of Bos-
ton, former handy man for Murray
Crane, to manage the national cam
paign, has dampened the Pickering
ardor of Indiana and Illinois sup
porters. Discovery that Coolidge
looks with favor upon the vice
presidential candidacy of either AL
bert j. Beverage or Ex-Gov.
Allen of Kansas, finishes the list
of woes recited by regulars who
hoped that Coolidge would wake up in
time. Now he wakes up, in a panic,
and the progressives laugh.
For it is recognized, by the shrewd-
est politicians in the old party ranks
here, that the La Toilette vote next
November is bound to sweep a large
part of the middle west and all of the.
northwest, and that it will offer thrills
to the bystanders in Illinois and Mis-
souri, and Michigan especially. Its
extent in Pennsylvania will be very
great. And it is going to be felt in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Oklaho-
MA, Arizona and possibly Georgia.
June IL Worries G. P. p. A.
The national committee of the Con-
ference foxx Progressive Political Ac.
ton meets here April H. 1t will get
reports from branches in 80 states,
as to plans for state campaigns and
for selection of tickets of presidential
electors. This organization is wor-
ried by the amount of publicity re-
ceived thus far by the rival group
supporting La Follette-the Farmer
Labor Federation which will hold a
convention June II, in St. Paul for
the adoption of platform and nomin-
alton of candidates. The st. Paul
convention is supported by the Com
mittee Of 48, the Minnesota Farmer
Labor Party and the Federated Farm
er-Labor Party, which latter body is
supposed to be largely influenced by
the Workers Party. The Conference
spokesman declare that the St. Paul
gathering will embarrass LaFollette
by the extreme radicalism Of the con-
vention speeches, and by prominence
given to w. 2. Foster, Ruthenberg
and other favorite bugaboos of the

OPPOSITION is
DEVELOPING TO
FORD'S SCHEME
Senate Committee Is
Against His Offer

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The
Ford offer for Muscle Shoals ac-
cepted by the House will meet de-
feat in the Senate Committee on
Agriculture, it appeared today fol-
lowing an informal poll.
Any move to report the measure
favorably to the Senate probably
will be beaten by an approximate
vote of 9. to 8.
Five Senators on a committee Of
II have pledged themselves to de-
feat Ford. They are Senators Nor
ris, Nebraska; McNary, Oregon;
Reyes, new Hampshire; Mckinley,
Illinois, and johnson, Minnesota.
Five others are pledged to sup
port Ford. They are Senators Har-
rison, Mississippi; Hef1in, Alabama;
Caraway, Arkansas; Smith, South
Carolina and Ladd, North Dakota.
1T appears that Kendrick, Wyoming
and Ralston, Indiana, will stand
with the Ford forces. Both are
democrats.
Capper, Kansas; Cooling, Idaho;
Harreld, Oklahoma and probably
Ransdell, Louisiana, will vote with
Norris, the DAILY WORKER has
been acknowledging him enough
votes to beat the Ford offer.
The position of Senator Norbeck,
South Dakota, is unknown.

Blind Men Working
On Piece System,
ShdnlefuILy Robbed

SYDNEY, N. S. W., April TO-
Blind workers employed in the in
stitutions at Sydney on piece rates,
are paid scandalously low wages.
Single men are paid Sc a week and
married men get $3.50. Thru over
time and bonuses, some earn be-
tween $40 and SIS per week. This
is far short of the minimum wage
for unskilled workers in New South
Wales.
Union officials urge nationalist
ton of the institutions, to be run as
business undertakings and not as
charitable institutions. Nothing can
be done in this direction till labor
government is returned to power in
New South Wales.

DAWES PACT
IS MORGAN'S
ULTIMATUM
To POiRCaTe, Tied Up By
Previous Loan

WASHINGTON, April TO-
France probably will approve
the Dawes plan, as it is under
stood that the Poincare govern
ment is bound by conditions of
the Morgan 500, 100000 loan
to accept the report. The lib
eral government of Great Bril-
tain also is expected to give
approval. The action of Ger
many still is in doubt.
With strong objections GER
tain to be made to it, the
Dawes report stands better
than an even chance to effect
a final settlement of the repair
atoms problem, official and
diplomatic Washington be-
lieved today.
The principal objection ex-
pected is that the report does
not recommend definite total
PREPARATIONS figure, a fact to
which Germany already is OBJ
jecting. Preparations the Reich
now is under obligation to pay
t o t | 132,OOO,OOO,OOO gold
marks.
An effort may be made to make it
appear that under the proposals of
Secretary of State Hughes which
brought about the Dawes inquiry, the
experts were obligated to set a total
( figure. -
Dawes Has His Fears
The reason the experts report did
not deal with total sum is that Cen
eral Dawes found at the start that
to try to fix total would wreck TIE
inquiry
The total indemnity that Germany
must meet, even if the Dawes plan
is accepted, may be worked out in a
European economic conference called
to put the experts report into effect,
or might result from a satisfactory
execution by Germany of her obliga-
lions under the plan over a period
I of years.

PARIS, April 1O.-While the repa-
ration commission studies the experts
reports, France keeps pace with Ger
many in objecting to the proposals.

politics already is being played with

BUILDING
DECREASED
THIS YEAR
Was, However, Higher Than
Had Been Anticipated by
Lumber Men

Building in Bismarck has decreas-
ed quite considerably from the
amount done last year, according to
reports received from local lumber
companies. This years construction
has averaged about half of what was
done last year they say
Between fifteen and twenty new
houses have been built here. how
ever, and the prospects look good
for further building before winter
sets in and early next spring.
About 100000 has been expended
for materials and labor for building
IN the city the past summer, say
the reports, and the houses have
averaged about $4,000 a piece.
Building in the business section
of the city has decreased even more
than the construction of residences,
but prospects for quite extensive
building are already being made for
next year.
During the past season the state
has completed the construction of
the Liberty Memorial building, and
has done a little reconstructing on
certain parts of the capitol build
ing. Nothing extensive is planned
for the next season in the line of
state buildings
While construction has been low
this year, say the reports, it was
much better than the lumber com
panies expected. They had planned
on little or no building and the num-
Der that did put up new buildings
was greater than they had antici-
pated.

FAR DOLLAR
AL MOST TO
PRE-WAR BASIS

Washington, Aug. 29.-The fl
nancial position of farmers a.
measured by the exchange value
of their products for non-agricul-
tural commodities is gradually
working toward a pre-war parity,
according to the Agricultural Re-
view issued by the department of
agriculture.
AS result of the recent rise in
grain prices and the fall in prices
OF non-agricultural products, the
combined exchange value of lG
leading farm products for the form
er class of commodities on August
|, had an index rating of S3 taking
the 1913 base as 100 This was
said tt have been the highest point
reached in AZ months.
Discussing the general agricul-
tural outlook in this country, the
department called attention that
interest now is beginning to center
on corn and hogs.
Corn Situation Critical
Despite increased corn acreage
this year." the review said, "weath-
er conditions have cut the prospec-
tive crop considerably under 1928
production, and should there be an
early frost, serious shortage of
corn will result. A short corn crop
means high priN and inasmuch as
approximately 80 percent of the
corn crop is fed to livestock, main
ly tc hogs, high cost of hog pro-
duction will result.
"The swine industry is said to be
we'll along in its periodic liquida-
ton with prices beginning to rise
and any further liquidation of
breeding stock because of expensive
corn is expected to send hog prices
to materially higher points during
the coming year.
Cotton Crop Big
Cotton looks like the biggest
crop with the biggest income in
five years. Potatoes and fruit are
reported on the way to good crops
and apparently fairly good prices.
There is plenty Of hay and oats
are turning out splendid yield
practically everywhere. Land is
now being fitted for sowing of fall
wheat with some sentiment report
ed in favor of larger acreage
than last year"
