FARMERS WITH

WILL SEE CAL
PurneII Denies 'ConSoIida
ton of Feeling on
Rural Aid.
BIZ Tnitcd Press

; By Tnitcd Press
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Ac-
companied by twelve Congressman
from corn and wheat producing
states, the committee of twenty-five
farm leaders appointed at the gen
eral farm conference in Des Moines,
Iowa, will call on President Coolidge
tomorrow and present him with res
olutions and memorials passed at
the conference, asking that the adj
ministration change its farm policy
to provide relief from agricultural
surpluses.
The twelve Congressman, through
Representative Purnell, Republican.
Indiana, made it known that their
visit to the White House with the
| farm leaders was not to be consid-
/ cred as a consolidation Of feeling.
Purnell stressed the statement that
| the congressional committee was
merely a contact point with Con-
gress and nothing more.
Hearing Delayed
Hearings on the Dickinson bill for
farm relief had been scheduled to
| open today. but was postponed
when the farmers committee said
they wero not ready.
Walter Lindstrom of Pleasant
Lake. Ind, member Of the agri-
| cultural committee of the Indiana
Bankers Association, and j. A.
Shields Of Seymour, of the Indiana
| Manufacturers Association, are In
diana members on the committee.
! Londstrom is here, but Shields has
not arrived.
Monday night the farmers met
with members Of Congress from the
affected States, to impress on them
the need for farm relief laws.
Purnell i'm Tilt
James Manhan of St. Paul, com
mittee member from Minnesota, had
a mild alteration with Purnell, who
represented the Indiana congression-
al delegation.
THE farmers demand that they
be given substantially the Dickinson
bill or know the reason why" Man
ahan said.
II don't think you come here in
the spirit of making us take this
or know the reason why" Purnell
retorted. II don't think you mean
that so bluntly. Congress has all
sorts of information about the plight
of the farmer, but wants suggestions
for relief"
1--WE farmers have been here for
three sessions trying to give Con-
gress what the gentleman from In
diana suggests" Peek retorted. He
said the committee would remain
here until farm relief legislation is
passed or denied.
Many Petitions
Many petitions from Indiana farm
organizations have been received by
! Senators Watson and Robinson, as
we'll as the Indiana representatives.
The petitions unanimously favor the
Dickinson bill, which provides for
the purchase OF surplus crops by a
| Government corporation, to raise
| prices in domestic markets to the ex-
port level. Purnell is the only In
diana member Of the House Agri-
| culture Committee.

NEARING TALKS
ON BRITAIN AT
DETROIT FORUM
Says British Empire Is
Crumbling Fast
BY T. JUKEs.
(Worker correspondent.)

DETROIT, April 21.-The season of
the Detroit labor forum closed today
with the largest audience it has ever
had. come to hear Scott Nearing speak
on 'ssThe Crumbling British Empire. ("
The speaker sketched the eyer-sharp-
ening imperialist struggle between the
two major forces-Great Britain and
Germany which eliminated in the
great war. The war witnessed the
shattering of the great European inn
perialist powers and led to the dom
ination of the United States. Bri-
tair's superiority, which was due to
her highly developed methods of ma
chine production, has for long time
been declining owing to her colonies
beconing more and more self-support-
lig. Native capitalism is springing up.
Tariff barriers are raised against Brit
ish goods. This was supplemented
by the establishment of textile fac
l, tories in India by British capitalists
Who were able by means of inhuman
exploitation to produce goods cheaper
there than in England.
IL Soviet Russia.
\ Another important factor in the de.
cline of the British empire was the
challenge to British hegemony in the
Near East and China by Soviet Rus
STA, whose anti-imperialist policy has
won favorable recognition from China
and other Eastern countries.
What may yet prove to be the most
powerful challenge to British capital
ist-imperialism, however, is to be
found inside the British Isles, in the
form Of a powerful and militant labor
movement of the British workers. Bri-
fish capitalists, faced with constant
ly declining trade, have shut down
their industries. England has an i'm
mense army of permanently unemploy-
ed and this forces the wages OF the
employed down to starvation level.
The miners are receiving as low as
three or four dollars week. In face
of this there is no move made to re-
duce the immense royalties the de-
generate survivals of the feudal aris-
tocracy receive on coal,
~ MIitancy Grows.
Such factors are driving the British
working class towards direct action.
This is we'll shown in such incidents
in the British Trade Unions as the
formation Of an Anglo-Russian unity
committee and the militancy of such
leaders as A. J. Cook, head of the
miners federation.
The address was we'll received
and the audience, when appeal
ed to wipe off the 1870 debt on the
shoulders of the forum, responded so
well that over $500 was collected and
makes 1t possible to reopen next fall.

Methodist Ministers
Fear Probe of Donors
to Reform Societies

Methodist ministers in the Anti
Saloon League and the Better Govern
ment Association and other reform or
CARNATIONS are not concerned as to
where money donated towards these
movements comes from.
The ministers, in an executive ses-
sion, had lengthy word battle as to
the acceptance OF the $4,000 gift"
from George E. Brennan to the Bet
ter Government Association, which
has caused the association to be called
the Better Graft Association. The or
ganization had promised to throw
Grove votes to Hope Thompson and
thus insure the election of Michael
Igoe, the democratic nominee. II
failed to live up to its promise and
Brennan Spilled the beans"
Dr. A. M. Pennywell made a motion
calling on all reform organizations to
make known the sources OF their in
come. This motion was overwelm-
ingly voted down.
In opposing the motion Bishop Ed
win Holt declared: "Such a motion
would be construed as a reflection on
he work of the Anti-Saloon League.
5uch organizations as the Anti-Saloon
4eague and the Better Government
Association have served good pur-
pose, and are a strong bulwark OF the
church in its fight against those who
favor modification of the dry law"
BY his attitude the bishop expressed
great fears that II an investigation
were made of the financial hackers of
these organizations 1t would be found
that many prominent Chicago boot
leggers would be on the lists as heavy
contributors.

PITTSFIELD, Mass, April 21-(FP)
Workers representatives from five
