FOR POULTRY.
QUALITY

The poultry farmer who Is making
a success of his enterprise has learned
that he must at all times use quality
feeds. He has learned to discrimin-
ate between snowy ingredients which
cost more than they are worth. He
has discarded from his scratch ration
sunflower seed. kaffir corn and the
rest of the expensive color. and has
learned that hard red wheat is bet
ter wheat for his hens than the snowy
soft white kernel. But in the corn,
wheat, barley and oats that he does
use. he wants-and he insists upon
quality. 1t Is to give it's members this
quality that the Eastern States Far
mers' Exchange directs it's poultry
feed efforts. From it's own MILL into
which no grain or feed ingredients go
simply because they can be bought
right" quality grain and quality in
gradients only can go.
Only No. 2 corn or 40 lbs. oats of
the cleanest, sweetest sort have gone
into our mill, SO it is that whether
poultry feeders order whole corn,
corn meal, cracked corn or corn feed
meal, out Of the Buffalo Mill, the
product contains only No. corn. The
oats are all of 40 Id. quality whether
they leave the mill In the scratch. as
ground oats, as oats, or as provender.
The plump barley and wheat berries
being distributed from our mill must
be seen and handled to be apprecia-
ted.
And what applies to scratch grains
and ingredients applies to-the various
chick grains, mashes and the mash
ingredients. The Eastern states Far
mers' Exchange seeks to reduce far
mers' production costs. and not to
make mill profits. Poultrymen's costs
can be reduced only with the use OF
quality ingredients.
The Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change is prepared to take care Of the
feed and grain requirements Of its
members whether they wish its Open
Formula Feeds or the ingredients for

Agreement Reached on
Western Pacific R'y
(By Federated Press)

Chicago - Agreement has been
reached between the Western Pacific
railroad and the engine service broth
erhoods, granting engineers, firemen
and hostlers wage increases averaging
slightly more than SO. This agree
ment follows the same lines as that
reached with the Southern Pacific on
December 16 and involves none of the
changes of basic rules contained in
the unfavorable decision of the United
States rail labor board
This second agreement on the west
ern lines raises the question whether
the board will interfere with a settle
ment more favorable than its own de-
cision but obtained through use Of the
strike threat Dealing with the ques-
ton Immediately after the Southern
Pacific settlement the board refused
to interfere on the ground that the
S. P. was able to meet the increase
out of its large profits without the
necessity of a rate increase.
The Western Pacific presents a diff
ferent situation. 1t is only a few
years since the reorganization of the
railroad following a receivership. 1t
has never paid dividends on its COM
mon stock. It's profits in 1923 pro-
vided a surplus of only $119,795 af-
ter preferred dividends and 1924 prof
it's will not exceed those of the previ-
Gus year. In other words the West
ern Pacific may furnish the excuse
which the carriers want to Justify an
attempt by the board to void an
agreement obtained through the use
of the workers only real basis of
power, the strike threat. The alter
native possibility is that the roads
will wait until similar agreements
have been made with other western
railroads which as a result of inflated
capitalization are apparently unable
to make a satisfactory profit.

u. S. LEADS
WORKERS LIVING STAND
ARDS ARE HIGH
Says British Fraternal Delegate to
Recent Federation of Labor
Convention at Ell Paso

London, England-"The American
worker, in the main, is able to live
properly and decently on what he re-
ceives in wages, in contrast to the
dull drudgery and semi starvation of
most of the workers of England"
The above is one of A. B. Swales'
impressions of America" printed in
the Labor Press Service, which is
issued jointly by the British Trades
Union Congress and the Labor party.
Mr.. Swales was a fraternal delegate
from the British Trades Union Con-
gress to the recent Ell Paso conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor.
"The American workers are prepar-
ed for any attack on their wage
rates." he said, "and these attempts
will be met with stubborn resistance
British workers should be alert and
watch developments in America We
must be ready and prepared to sup
port our fellow workers across the
Atlantic.
"Any mention of the American
trade union movement would be in
complete without reference to the
great loss that the movement has suf-
fered by the death of the leader, Mr..
Samuel Gompers.
'Mr. Gompers has suffered criti-
cism from many quarters, but what
ever criticism has been levelled at
him, credit is due to him for the work
that he has done in the last "A years
in building up the American Fedora
ton.
"The immensity Of this task can be
imagined by look at the map of the
U. S. A., land portion of continent
al dimensions, inhabited by many
races of different temperaments and
different nationalities, scattered
across a great area and difficult to
make contact with"

BOXING BOSSES

The Mayor, acting upon the broad
hlnt handed out by the city dads that
boxing and wrestling contests were
not Objectionable, has appointed a
Boxing Commission to regulate and
control exhibitions of this nature to
be pulled off here.
And the gentlemen selected by His
Honor guarantees that no monkey
business will be tolerated and that
everything must be clean, square and
straight. They are Attorney Fletch-
err Scott, DR.. J. G. Shirer and En-
glneer Jesse Strand, all lovers of
sport when rightly conducted.
The probabilities are that a club
VIII be organized and incorporated.
and that worthwhile attractions will
be staged in Newark in the near fu-
ture. If such is the case action should
not be postponed too long, as our
sport fans would rather spend their
good money at home than be compell-
ed to go elsewhere.
Get busy and let's get things going.

MOFFAT TUNNEL
Piercing the Rocky Mountains Divide
Is Progressing Finely

Denver-One of the worlds great
est engineering achievements is the
Moffat tunnel, piercing the Rocky
Mountain divide a few miles west Of
Denver, Colo. 1t is now nearly one
third completed and is 10 per cent
builders. The work is being financ-
ed by the State of Colorado and is in
tended to greatly shorten the route
from Denver to the Pacific coast, as
we'll as make available the vast re-
sources of northwestern Colorado.
1t is both railroad and a water
tunnel, and will provide additional
water for Denver and other Colorado
cities. To date it has been bored
$500 feet from the east portal and
5,490 feet from the west portal.
When completed the tunnel, which is
under James peak, will be a little
over six miles long.
The work is scheduled for compile
tion not later than July, 1927, when
the two digging gangs are expected
to meet somewhere near the center Of
the huge bore.
Progress from the western side has
been slower on account of encounter
ing shale and dirt rather than solid
rock. This necessitates timbering ev-
cry foot of the way at cost of $100
per linear foot. At the east portal
solid rock was found after the first
few hundred feet and enabled the
contractors to speed up. In the
mountains it is cheaper to bore rail-
road tunnel through solid rock, with
solid roof and sides, than through
dirt, which must be timbered.
Crews of workmen are comfortably
housed in camps at each end of the
tunnel, where stocks Of provisions suf-
ficient for three months are kept at
hand. Each camp has a medical dis
pensary and hospital with a doctor
and nurse in constant attendance Fa-
talities thus far have been almost nil,
but one death resulting from accident
during the II months the work has
been IN progress.

Chicago Movie Men
Win Ten Per CT. Raise

Chicago-Ten percent increase in
wages, spread over two years con-
tract, is, the result of 1907 organi-
zation by motion picture operators in
Chicago. The Union, organized as
Local 10, Init. Alliance of Theatri-
cal and Stage Employees of America,
had been negotiating with the wage
committee of the Exhibitors Assn.
The negotiations dragged and fin
ally the employers threatened to i'm
port strikebreakers if the union did
not withdraw its wage demands.
When the men called the employers
bluff the agreement was signed, Civ
ing a SO increase Immediately and
SO at the beginning Of 1926. The
old scale ranged from somewhat over
500 a week in the most exclusive
loop theaters down to $55 a week in
the outlying houses. The hours range
from to 6 a day. The high scale
is due to the danger, uncomfortable
working conditions and great skill re-
quired Of movie operators.

PROBE TO CONTINUE
Charles B. Thomas, Former Referee,
Now Under Investigation
(By Federated Press)

East ST. Louis, Ill.-Former referee
in bankruptcy Charles B. Thomas,
now under investigation by the de-
partment of justice, was appointed to
office by federal judge English, noto-
rious injunction judge during the rail
road strike. Thomas resigned under
fire, but his quitting will not halt the
probe of his alleged activities in con-
nection with an alleged bankruptcy
ring.
Thomas, it is alleged, was permit
ted while referee to appear before
Judge English as attorney in bank
utes; that the funds of firms and in
dividuals undergoing bankruptcy in
English's court were deposited only in
certain banks in some of which Eng
lish and Thomas were stockholders; /;
that despite his status as referee,
Thomas was appointed receiver by
English at bloated fees of many con-
Germs.
Representative La Guardia, New
York, attacked English in a speech on
the floor of the house last May, after
the judge had dealt leniently with a
notorious war profiteer. Said the
congressman: "We read in this morn
ings news papers the disgusting re-
port of a federal court Judge, after
the plea of guilty of a war profiteer
who stole $1,000,000 from the govern
ment during the war, on the pretext
of weak heart was let off with a
fine of $12,500. This man is Henry
JOVce who was the marine manaper
of the Central Railroad of New Jer.
sey. His two corporations that par
ticipated in the loot did not plead
guilty to the crime and were let of
with fine of $1,000 each. | consideI
such slight fine simply disgraceful.
Asked to name the judge, the con
gressman replied, Judge George Eng
lish.

PLATFORM PROMISES

The platforms Of the political
parties were so worded last fall as q
convey the impression that no matt
which side was successful in the figH
the Child Labor Amendment would
we'll taken care of, and the time wi
shortly arrive when our legislatui
will either redeem these pre-electid
promises or give evidence that the
look upon political platforms as mel
scraps of paper. If the amendme1
is not approved voters will lose fait
and confidence in party promises.
The raw propaganda circulated b
opponents to the amendment has pull
ed the wool over the eyes of thousands
of fair minded men and women all
over the country. Notably is this the
case among the farmers, many of
whom actually believe that should the
measure be adopted they would be de-
prived of the assistance of their own
children who are under eighteen years
of age
Nothing is farther from the truth.
The amendment itself places no limit
whatever upon child labor 1t merely
empowers congress to pass such laws
as it deems wise and just for the
protection of children. It's aim is to
govern the working hours and place
an age limit on little children work
ing in mines, mills, factories and
sweatshops.
The real opponents to the law are
hiding behind a smoke screen and
making a cats paw of the farmers.
A little thought should convince any,
one that our congress'will put no fool
restrictions upon the healthy, outdoor
work of children employed in agri-
cultural pursuits on the farms of
their own parents.
Much of the opposition comes from
the big cotton mill owners of New
England, who until they had secured
ownership and control of the industry
IN the south wanted child labor pro-
hlblted, as it was to a certain extent
IN the north; thus eliminating COM
petition. Now with the southern bus
mess under their thumbs, they want
the bars down.
Strange to relate there are also
some churchmen and highbrow college
professors enlisted in the army of op-
position. Just why this should be the
, case is hard to determine, but it is a
fact nevertheless.
IT the amendment is adopted by
thlrty-siX states it will enable the
congress and senate of the United
States to adjust child labor condi-
tons and pass laws which all the su-
preme courts of the country cannot
override and declare unconstitutional
Pray God that day may soon arrive.
