FARMER COULD CLUT
WORLDS MARKETS

Atlanta farm machin-
cry and scientific methods have
smashed the Malthusian theory, said
Prof. Firman E. Baer, of Ohio Uni
versity, addressing representatives of
the commercial fertilizer industry.
The Rev. Thomas E. Nautilus was
an eighteenth century English So
cialogical writer. He developed the
theory that eventually the world
would be faced with an inadequate
food supply due to population.
Prof. Baer told the commercial fer
tilizer men that production of food is
far ahead of population.
German nitrogen interests, he
pointed out, insist that in Central
Europe a pound of nitrogen rightly
used will produce $50 pounds of sugar
beets, 100 pounds of potatoes, as
pounds of hay, 20 pounds of grain
or enough grass to yield 20 pounds of
milk
Prof Baer declared that if the far
mers of the world were to utilize
every possible means of increasing
the food supply the markets woulc
be hopelessly glutted within few
years.

POSTAL Loss
Is Due Mostly to Faulty
Accounting

New Orleans.-The A. +. of L. con-
vention again called for business
like system of accountancy in the post
office department, and thereby end
alleged deficits" that are heralded
throughout the country whenever
postal employees ask for improved con-
ditions.
The resolution was presented by
postal employee delegates These
workers showed that the department
does not segregate the cost of varied
services of a public welfare nature.
"The cost of these public welfare
services now exceed $l,000,000 annu-
ally, causing seeming postal deficit
which creates the widespread erron-
eous impression that the postal serv-
ice is being operated at financial
loss" the resolution declared.
Under proper system of accurate
accounting, whereby the post office
department would be given fiscal
credit for the vast amount of public
welfare services it now renders for
nothing, or practically nothing, the
postal system would show an impos-
ing surplus and would thus be re-
flected in the public mind in its true
light, as most efficient and highly
profitable public business institu-
ton"
The convention approved Congress-
man Clyde Kelly's bill, pending il
congress, which provides for an &C.
counting system.

P 0. CHIEF UPHOLDS
lJNIONISTS

New Orleans.-At the 1917 A. F.
of L. convention a demand was made
by organized labor, at the request of
organized postal workers, that Post
master General Burleson be removed
from office because of his denial of
workers rights.
At the 1928 A. F. of L. convention
First Assistant Postmaster General
Bartlett praised the organized postal
workers and their officials.
The postal chief referred to quar-
rels he had with these officials, but,
he said, 81 recalled that Bill Nye once
said, If you can't beat 'em, jine
en-"
In referring to President Gainor, of
the Letter Carriers Association and
Treasurer Flaherty, of the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks, Mr. Bartlett said these union
officials "are good askers."
''They asked for things we didn't
know we had," he said. Usually the
government way is to say No. but
we looked around and found we had
them.
"Messrs. Gainor and Flaherty, in
six or seven years of cooperation
with Us, have done everything toward
making us feel bond of sympathy
between our service and yours. 1t

FREE SPEECH
Right Upheld By Workers
In Convention

New Orleans.-Free speech, free
press and free assemblage must be
protected, declared the A. F. of l..
convention in this city.
"The fundamental principles of
civil liberty are necessary to demo-
cratic government" the committees
report stated History has proved
that freedom of speech, press and as
semblage are essential to orderly
progress.
"The constitutional guarantees of
free speech, press and assemblage
have been seriously restricted by
action of the courts and by certain
laws passed in some states.
1--WE believe the prosecution of per-
sons for the expression of political or
economic views is contrary to the fun
damental principles of American gov
ernment and the letter and spirit of
the constitution.

be Ambassador to Turkey.
