FARM OUTLOOK FOR
1925 IS BRIGHTER
Roger w. Babson Sees Situation as Best in This
Country Since 1919; Recovery Was
Big Event Of the Year

BABSON PARK, Mass, Jan. g.
what was the most significant de-
velopment of 1924 so far as bust.
ness is concerned?" The question,
put today to Roger W. Babson. the
atatfsfician. brought an immediate
answer outlining the recovery of the
farmer and the effect this recovery
may have on business during 1926.
THE year 1924 marked a decided
change In the position Of the Ameri-
can farmer" says Mr.. Babson. AS
we enter 1925 he is better off than
he has been at any time since 1919.
Two main factors have contributed
.tpssthis Improvement; first and fore
most has been tho rapid and sub.
stnntial recovery in the price that
he receives for his products and
second. the trend OF those non.agri-
cultural commodities which he buys
has been downward.
1.-THE years corn crop totalled O..
f36. 600. 900 bushels-a decided de-
crease from the 1923 crop. and II is
Siso substantially under the aver
g output. However. the tremend-
u jump In prices which amounted
to over co per cent from the low Of
this year more than offsets the de
cline in production. and as n result.
this years cror is estimated to he
worth s per cent more thn- last
year. respective valuation flgurnr be-
ing 81 .4o5. 46s 600 and s2.21T. ga 600.
THE wheat crop was not only sub.
stantial'y greater In volume than
the. 1923 crop. but the price that the
farmer received was Al per cent
higher. Hence, It Is estimated that
this years wheat crop is worth 50
per cent more than last year. or ST..
136.596. 600 against last years farm
value OF s735. 1888. 900.
"The oat farmer was benefited al
so to a great extent. the value OF
his crop being estimated at SO per
cent more than last year. or about
$3.50, 495, 900 against approximately
S54l.137.00 last year.
prices of cotton to the farmer
as compared to last year have drop
ped about 30 per cent. However. the
yield is placed at 13.153.o00 bales,
against last years yield OF 10.14o.-
900 bales. Hence. much of the sub
stantial price decline has been coun-
teracted and he will probably re-
ce,ve close to s1,4s7. 900 900 for his
crop. against s1.5T1.s15.oo for last
year.
This years potato crop is a rec
ord for all times. exceeding that OF
1923 by 80, 900. 900 bushels. Potato
prices are II per cent under last

CONVICT LEASING
Upheld By Court in Case OF
Cheap Shirt Makers

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The supreme
court of this state has ruled that the
proposed contract between the state
board of affairs and the Cherokee
Manufacturing Company is not vio-
lation of the Oklahoma constitution
which says: "The contracting of con-
Wet labor is hereby prohibited"
The court held that the contract
sought to be entered into is not "con-
tracing of convict labor" The board
of affairs announces that it will i'm
mediately put the contract into effect
Organized labor will continue its
fight against this wrong. The work
ers' agitation forced the state to can.
eel contract with the Reliance Man
ufacturing Company, the recognized
prison labor. trust of this country
which has contracts in several states
for the manufacture of cheap shirts.
After the Reliance contract was
abrogated, state officials signed an.
other contract with the Cherokee con.
Germ, dummy that has been set uE
by the Reliance corporation.

Capital Unions Hit Lie That Soviets
Inspire Friends Of Children's Amendment

that 1T contains grant of power to
congress which will enable it here
after to make laws against the ex-
ploitation of childhood at premature
and injurious labor 1t is broad and
general in its terms as a constitu-
tional amendment should be to meet
changing conditions and national de-
velopments. 1t prescrbes no particu-
lar kind of child labor law except
to fix an upper age limit beyond
which congress may not legislate 1t
is an enabling act only.
Farm Work BY Children Not Banned
"The amendment contains no prohi-
bition whatever. 1t does not prohibit
labor of children up to Is years of
age, or any age, and the attempt to
make it appear that it does so is an
other example of the manufacturers
false propaganda. They would also
make it appear that because the
amendment does not exempt farm
work and domestic service it intends
to prohibit the farmers son and the
farmers daughter from doing chores
and housework at their own homes.
The National Manufacturers Associa-
ton knows perfectly we'll that the
reason farm work and domestic serv-
ice are not exempted in the amend
ment is that the proper place for ex-
emptions is in the statute which con-
gress will presumably enact under the
grant of power contained in the
amendment.
''If the amendment did not give
power to congress to legislate against
harmful labor by boys and girls up to
18 years of age, it would not be pos
sible to prevent boys and girls of 16
and II from entering such trades as
the making of explosives, night mes
senger service, and work on danger
Gus, high power machinery. Most of
the states now prohibit the labor of
children in dangerous occupations up
to the age of Is, and some of them,
Ii. e., Massachusetts and New York,
have laws prohibiting children from
such occupations up to the age of 21
The attempt of the manufacturers to
to confuse the public mind on this
question is a wholly disingenuous
thing They know perfectly well that
what is desired is to give congress
the power the states already have ir
this respect, and the amendment spe.
officially provides that the power OF
| the states shall not be impaired il
| this field when congress is granted
the same power.
"We ask the newspapers of The
country to give a square deal to the
working people and their children
We ask them to present fairly The
merits of the pending child labor
amendment, and not to be misled o.
permit their readers to be misled b!
the false propaganda of the manufac
turing interests who wish to continu,
child labor in the United States fol
their own profit"

BETTER WORK
Done By Miners When Ven
tilatiOn is Good

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. Good mine ven
tilation enables miner to work we'll
in hot places, declares Dr. R. r. Say
ers, chief surgeon of the bureau of
mines, Department of the interior,
in Miners Circular %, just issued.
Many mining companies have install
ed specially designed ventilating sys-
TENS for the purpose of lowering tenn
peratures. One large mining COM
pany spent more than $4,000 to sink
a ventilating shaft and to buy venti-
lating equipment 1t has been report
ed that this installation pays for itself
once every six months in savings and
in better work for the miners.
Even though the composition of the
air is normal, if the temperature and
humidity are abnormally high the
miner can not work as well and his
health probably suffers, observes DR..
Sayers. Men who have heart disease
and disease of the blood vessels can
not stand high temperatures we'll
The bureau of mines found that
where the temperature of the air is
above 70 degrees F. and the relative
humidity, or moisture content, is high,
the miner is more comfortable and
can work better if the air is moving.
If the air moves at the rate of 100
feet per minute, miner is comfort
able and can work as long as the
temperature shown by wet-bulb
thermometer is not above 85 degrees
F. The same is true when the tenn
perature is between 85 and 80 de-
grees, provided the air moves 200 to
300 feet per minute. Still air at a
temperature of 90 to 95 degrees is
very oppressive, but air of the same
temperat ture is much less so when it
is moving 400 to 800 feet per minute.
Recent studies of the bureau of
mines have shown that miners can be
more comfortable and do much better
work in air of high temperatures and
humidities if a small portable fan is
used to make air movement. This
method, however, should be used only
in emergencies or temporarily until a
permanent ventilating system can be
put in to replace hot humid air with
cooler pure air, and thus keep the
harmful gases from collecting abnor-
mally. 1t can not be said too strongly
that working ability, comfort and
good health depend largely on pure
air.
Air low in oxygen causes the lungs
to breathe deeper and faster and the
heart to beat faster. Too little oXy-
gen may cause Inconsistencies and
even death. The flame of a safety
lamp may be used to detect air con-
tanning too little oxygen. Too much
carbon dioxide in air causes deeper
and more rapid breathing, headache
dimness of sight and trembling. The
presence of carbon dioxide and the
amount may be learned by specia
portable apparatus made for this pur
pose. Nitrogen, hydrogen, and me
thalane do not poison the body bu
may lessen the amount of oxygen ant
thus indirectly cause trouble.

trade relations with Japan. This in
fiuence ignores racial, economic and
social effects of yellow immigration
The American business men would
block japanese interests that are US
ing present conditions to develop an
anti-American sentiment in the far
east by having the United States ad-
nit japanese while debarring other
Orientals. The business interests of
neither country are impelled by pa
triotic motives
The following Associated Press
cable from Toxic last June shows how
markets and profits are involved in
this issue:
More sordid motives than those Of
patriotism are backing the anti
American agitation which has follow
ed enactment in the United States
of an immigration law barring Japan
ese, in the opinion of government Off
cials and business men here.
According to statements made by
them today, the agitation is being
supported by certain Japanese bust
ness men and manufacturers who de-
sire to eliminate foreign competition
in the japanese markets and who
have seized the situation created by
passage of the exclusion provision as
means to that end"

LEASING OF CONVICTS
OPPOSED IN MISSOURI

Jefferson City, Mo. = The State
Federation of Labor has issued a call
to trade unionists and sympathizers
for an anti-conyict leasing confer
ence, to be held in this city January
6. 1t is proposed to draft certain
amendments to be presented to the
next Legislature for enactment into
law that will prevent convict labor
competing with free labor.
The call says that through close
cooperation between prison officials
and prison contractors, the 1917 law,
which provides for the abolition of
this system, has been evaded with
impunity and thereby caused the con-
tinuation of the brutal leasing sys-
TEN, in violation of the spirit of the
law"
