The Department of Justice" he
said, knows exactly what l know.
The bootleggers Of Ohio, in conjunc-
tion with those of Pennsylvania,
have caused this subpoena, and 1
shall not dignity it by noticing it.
Let the court compel my attend
ance."
The constitutional provision UPON
which he based his refusal was that
part of Section w which says that

Level of Farm Prices
in u. S. Drops Again

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. - (FP)-
The general level OF prices for farm
crops in the United States was 1876
per cent of pre-war level on July Is,
which is Is points below that of one
year ago, says the department Of
Agriculture. It is 4 points below the
level of June Is this year.
Grains lost 8 points in the month,
cotton points, meat animals points
and fruits and vegetable 81 points,
when taken as groups. However, corn,
barley rye and faxseed advanced
slightly.
The purchasing power of farm pro-
ducts in June this year was 81 per
cent Of what II was for the five-year
period 1909-14. says the bulletin from
Secretary Jardine's Office.
This official declaration that the
farmers hope OF better returns this
season is futile, is accepted by the
Observation-Disclosures republicans as
proof that the issue OF legislative re-

The life of the British miner has
been nothing less than hell for years,
five years of unemployment and end
less years of starvation wages. In
districts where the bosses made the
largest profits, the average wage has
been only from $1O32 to S12.96, for
those who could get work steadily.
They rebelled against 10 per CENT
cut and an attempt to get them to
work one hour longer day. mot a
penny off the pay; not a minute on
