YELLOW-DOC
Contracts Hit the Out-Of.
Works

London, Eng.-Sir Arthur Steel
Maitland, the British minister of Ia
Dor, has refused unemployment insur-
ance benefit to a number of youths
who declined to sign an agreement
that they would not join trade
union.
The youths were offered work as
junior apprentices by ship-building
firm and were asked to sign inden-
lures containing provision that
they must not join a union.
The boys refused to sign. Where
upon their employment benefit was
stopped. An appeal was taken to the
umpire, who decided that the condi-
ton in the indenture prohibiting
trade union membership was not un-
fair or unjust. The minister of labor
approved the umpire's decision.
The current issue of the journal of
the National Amalgamated Furnish
ing Trades Association declares that
apprentice indentures in Manchester
include clause prohibiting a youth
from joining trade union until with
in six months of the termination of
his apprenticeship.

MARKETING PLAN
Fails in Chicago Farmers
Pass Up Gold Bricks

Chicago-The failure of Dean, On
ativia & Co., Chicago brokers, for
$50, 100000, and the collapse Of the
Grain Marketing Company, an al
legged cooperative venture, indicates
that the day has passed when farm
ers buy gold bricks.
The marketing company proposed
to sell stock to farmers and buy pri-
vate-owned wheat elevators with the
money thus raised. One of the ele-
vator concerns that expected to be
taken over had large holdings of it's
stock in the hands of the brokerage
firm When it was discovered that
farmers were refusing to buy stock in
the marketing company, the stock of
the elevator company dropped in value
and the brokerage firm was forced
into bankruptcy. 1t was one of the
largest failures of it's kind.
The farmers refused to buy the
marketing company stock because the

commission refused to validate the
stock issue.
The marketing plan was backed by

SIX HUNDRED
Labor Papers Listed in La
Dor Press Directory

BY International Labor News Service
New York City.-About 600 labor
papers, issued by labor or closely dis
cussing labor questions, appear regu-
ularly in the United States, according
to the new American Labor Press
Directody just published by the labor
research department of the Rand
School of Social Science, in New
York
The American Federation of Labor
and practically every national and in
ternational union affiliated with it are
represented by official organs. The
most frequent kind of labor paper is
the local journal issued by some per-
son or group, often with the indorse-
ment of the trade unions in the vicin-
ity Several of the independent
unions publish papers for their mem
bers.
The various political parties which
claim to speak for labor are actively
pushing journals which aim to inter-
pref events in terms of their particu-
lar programs. Progressive farmers
groups and the cooperative move-
ment have number of papers of
their own. Then there are the various
governmental, sociological, and reli-
gious journals which pay special at
tention to labor problems.
This is the first time an American
Labor Press Directory has been at
tempted. The book gives the name
and address of each paper, the editor
and publisher, size, frequency of pub
lication, subscription price, and other
information.

THE BUSINESS, OF FARMING

Agriculture is the basis OF
American prosperity. Its decline
means ultimate loss, If not disaster
to industry in general; and it is be
cause of this fact that there is /;
basis of equity in the demand OF the
farmers of the country for condi
tions, through legislation or other
wise, tending, to stabilize the In
dustry of agricultural production
The farmer insists that something OF
special kind shall be done for his
relief. How and in what manner
it is the business OF practical states
manship to find out. And it is {
serious business; the country can
not go on prosperously il the fafme,
is constant and increasing loser as
compared with other factors in the
industrial life of the country. "-Sar

Probably the one thing above al
others which the farmer needs Ia not

ing, along business lines.
Electricity on the farm will teach

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1926

Things are warming up in the
Maryland Republican camp, with the
Weller forces stirring themselves to
undo the work of the anti-Weller
crowd.
Senator Weller last week filed his
papers to put him in the rfnning at
the primary, and a letter has been
issued to John Philip Hill demanding
his withdrawal from the Republican
U. S. Senatorial candidacy. The
letter is signed by nine of the ten
ward executives Of Congressman
Hills District warning him that
eight of the nine are pledged in
writing to support Weller for the
Senate.
The letter declares Hills candi-
dacy for the Senate will be ruinous
to the party, hurtful to the Ma
tional Administration, and that he
will lose his District to the
Democrats.
The ward executives declares they
have carefully canvassed their party
outlook and the above correctly
represents the conclusions OF a
majority of the registered Repub-
lican voters and party workers OF
the District, as well as the sentiment
among Republicans generally

REDUCE TAX BURDEN-IN-
CREASE PRODUCTION

Florida stole march on other
states by passing law doing away
with Inheritance taxes. The result
has been an influx of capital to
Florida greatly exceeding expacta
tions. The resulting development
along agricultural, industrial and
building lines will place new wealth
on the tax rolls, which will produce
revenue far in excess OF what
Florida could ever have collected
through inheritance taxes.
The California Tax Association
publishes statement that wealthy
man who wished to move to that
!. state found that it would cost him
$1S0,000 more to die there than in
the state where he. now resides
He did not move to California.
Florida has capitalized an oppor
tunity open to every community,
namely, by reducing the tax burden
she has encouraged the investor &c
develop her resources.
No more striking object lesson car
be offered to national or local gov,
ernments that tax oppression Kills

tific tax reduction and equalization is
to outlaw the unfair tax exempt
