FARMING CRISIS
ADDING J0blE:SSS
Millions From Country
Find No City Work

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Fear-
ing the growing economic crisis
which is worsening the conditions Of
the farmers, the Department of
Agriculture issued frantic appeal
TO the farmers to curtail their crops.
This is in sharp contrast to the ac-
tivity of the Soviet Union in in
creasing by leaps and bounds its
agricultural output. Moreover, the
Soviet Union uses its increased pro-
duction to better working class con-
ditions, while here the working
masses, who need more to eat and
to wear, are thrown out jobless to
starve in the streets.
Because Of the growing vast un-
employment, the Department of Ag-
riculture knows that the workers
will have to eat less unless they
fight wage cuts and struggle VIC
toriously for jobless relief, and tells
the farmers that sit is unlikely the
demand for farm products in the
summer and fall of 1890 will be as
good as during last summer and
fall" They. continue, pointing out
that thousands have been forced to
cut down on their food:
"The demand for some farm pro-
ducts already has been affected by
the decline in Industrial activity
since last June, Butter, cotton and
wool have been noticeably affected
and apples, potatoes and grains have
failed thus far to make the usual
seasonal price advances"
The Department Of Agriculture
also points out that the wage-cut-
ting campaign now generally in

Plan to Seize Cow

(Wireless By fnprecorr)

(WreteSs By lnpfecofr)
BERLIN, Jan. 27. - The
newspaper "Welt Am Abend''
reveals a plan of the National.
ist Fascist Anti-Young Plan
Committee to organize a coup
d'etat for seizure of govern
mental power in Germany.
Numerous sessions have been
held at Berlin, Essen and
Weimar, where discussions
took place on the arming of the
fascist organizations, and the stra-
tegic plans worked out to seize
power and crush the workers.
. The plans were made on the basis
of the assumption that during the
winter the socialists" will leave the
present government, whereupon
President Hindenburg would pro-
claim a dictatorship under Para
graph 48 of the Constitution.
Because of the great and growing
unemployment, hunger riots are ex-
pected, whereby the police and mill
tary operating against the workers
gives the framework for military
action of the fascists.
The National Fascist manufac-
turer, Hugenberg, holds the funds
for financing the scheme. Other
big industrialists, Thyssen and
