OUTPUT Limit
OF Wheat Is Difficult To
Effect

Washington.-The weakness of the
federal farm boards policy of 25
per cent reduction of wheat acreage
to enable the wheat growers to boost
wheat prices to profitable figure is
apparently the lack of an adequate
system of compulsion to insure the
acreage reduction which the board
claims is necessary.
The boards policy is to restrict
wheat production to an acreage that
will satisfy the demands of the peo-
pie of the United States. When this
limit is reached the board believes
the tariff on wheat will assert itself
in the interest of better prices.
1t is apparent to those who study
form prices that curtailment of 10
per cent in wheat acreage, nor Is per
cent, nor 20 per cent, will be effective,
and voluntary reduction, which de-
pends on the united action of thou
sands of grain growers, does not
seem to be dependable. Last winter

BREWING
Urged By LabOrite to Aid
Unemployment

Syracuse, N. Y. (ILNS)-Speaking
before the convention here of the
State Printing Trades Council, John
Sullivan, president of the New York
State Federation of Labor, said the
greatest recommendation to relieve
unemployment is the restoration of
the brewery industry in America"
Directly or indirectly" he said,
within a year and a half it would
give employment to nearly 3,500,000
people"
Sullivan described the unemploy-
ment situation as "more serious than
most people realize and the most dan
gerous that ever has confronted the
American people"
The rapid advancement of modern
ma ,hinery, he declared, sis replacing
men and women by the wholesale.
Something must be done to absorb
these men and women thrown out of
work. New industries must be found
to give them employment.

LABOR TO MAKE
INJUNCTION BIG
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
A. F. of l.. Head Tells Stereo-
typers Candidates Who Fa-
v0red Parker Will Be Opposed
With All Labor's Strength.

Indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS)-W William
Green, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, sounded the key
note of organized labor for the COM
ing Indiana election campaign in an
address before the twenty-ninth an
nual convention of the International
Stereotypers and Electrotypers I'm
ion here.
'In this campaign the American
Federation of Labor is coming into
Indiana. We will confront the candi-
dates with their stand for Judge
Parker's confirmation for the su-
preme court. Those who favored
him will be opposed with all the
strength of organized labor"
In an hours talk he answered the
critics of his regime as head of the
federation. His critics have assailed
alleged failure of the federation to
take definite action in the South and
its attitude towards striking coal
miners in the East.
"The report of the A. F. of L. to
the next convention will show de-
cided gain in membership, despite the
depression and adverse conditions. It
will show we have carried trade
unionism into the South and that it
has reared there as a mighty force. ;"
President Green demanded that
trade unionists rally to the move
ment and support candidates at the
polls this year who will vote for la :
bor's anti-injunction bill in congress
and for relief measures designed to
! minimize unemployment and to com
bat changing economic conditions due
to supplanting of workers with ma
chinery.
1--WE have been enjoined from free
speech, free press, and from free as
semblage,' President Green declared.
at has become unbearable. There
can be no group in the United States
deprived of these rights if this union
is TO endure.
Labor is paying terrific and ter
rible toll for efficiency and economy
when machines supplant the trained
workers. We can point to the glass
blowers, depriver of work by the bot
tie blowing machine, to the old-time
telegraphers, to the musicians, now
being supplanted by sound pictures
and mechanical music, and to many
others.
"This economic movement will CON
tinue, so this nation must solve the
problem if every man who is CON
sumner is to be kept an active con-
sumer."

Injunction Euil Must Be Cured
To Safeguard u. S. Liberties
Olander Shows Equity Defeated By Own Process
Legislative Remedy Must Be Applied, Institute of Public
Affairs is Told-Deay is Grave Menace

Charlottesville, Va. (ILNS)-Seri-
Gus consequences will follow contin-
ued misuse of the injunction in in
dustrial disputes-misuse of judicial
power is destroying liberty.
So declared Victor A. Olander, ad-
dressing the fourth annual Institute
of Public Affairs at University of
Virginia. Mr. Olander, who is secre-
tary-treasurer of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, spoke as the
designated representative of the
American Federation of Labor by
appointment of President Green.
Mr. Olander declared unions must
be as free to organize and function
as business. Turning aside from the
strictly legal question, the speaker
told his hearers that 'the prosperity
of business depends upon the purchas-
ing power of the consumer. Yet busi-
ness opposes increased wage stand
ards that result in greater ability to
purchase.
Employer Always Complainant
The subject of Mr.. Olander's dis
cussion was the "Inequity of Injunc-
tions," and he held to that theme,
showing that the employer occupies
the complainant's chair in equity
proceedings against unions.
"It is the injunction system, as i'm
properly used in labor disputes" he
said, that holds the unorganized
workers to the so-called yellow dog
contracts-which are not enforceable
under law-under which they are
prevented from joining trade union
or from participating in any concert
ed action to obtain improved wages

Birmingham, Ala. (ILNS) Despite
the spectre of unemployment, which
has been lowering over the textile
industry of the South for many
months, the wave of organization
enthusiasm which has rolled over
Dixie shows no abatement. In fact
it seems to be gathering impetus as
the aims and policies of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor are unfold
ed to the workers of the Southland
Such is the observation of federation
workers in their reports to the South
ern headquarters of the campaign.
Francis J. German, international
vice president of the United Textile
Workers of America, who has been
making tour of the Southern textile
fields, said local unions of textile
workers recently established in vari-
Gus Southern communities were max
ing a steady gain in membership
Local unions in Danville, Va; Colum-
bus, Ga; Augusta, Ga; Huntsville
Ala; Admission and other centers are
growing rapidly.
Mr.. German said the Southern or
ganization committee had opened up
a new district for organization work
A special organizer will be established
in some central point, perhaps at An
niston, Ala, who will have active
charge Of the work. The district will
include territory in Alabama and
down through Georgia to Augusta.

Wage Cutting Cause of Trade Depression Shoe
Man Saws.

New York City (ILNS)-To the list
of employers who last week pledged
themselves in letters and kilograms
to Printers Ink not to cut wages, the
United States Steel Corporation has
been added.
Responding to the inquiry sent out
by Roy Dickinson, associate editor of
Printers Ink, J. A. Farrell, president
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, said there is going to be no re-
duction of wages in the steel indus
try.
In addition to Farrell's letter, there
is available the complete text of the
telegram to Dickinson from George
f. ohnSon of the Endicott-J ohnson
Shoe Company, in which johnson
said:
Wage cutting or reducing income
of labor is not remedy for business
depression 1t is direct and con-
tributing cause. The best place to
start necessary reductions of income
is from the over-paid and over-priv-
ileged, not the under-paid and under
privileged. When business needs
more income follow the income. Sc
cure it from those who have it,"
Farrell Quotes Remarks
President Farrell wrote Dickinson,

Referring to your telegram of
July 21, think | can best answer you
by quoting from my remarks at the
May 9, 1880, meeting of the members
of the American Iron and Steel In

Commodore, New York city, as fol-
lows:
4 heard steel man say the other
day, in fact more than one recently,
that wages should come down.
said, "Oh, no, wages in the steel in

SET Low PAY FOR
COTTON PICKERS


Shreveport, La. (ILNS)-At a

Caddo and Bossier parishes at the
call Of Jack P. FulGlove, chairman
Of the agricultural committee of the
Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, it
was decided that so cents a hundred
pounds will he the standard price to
be paid cotton pickers in the two
parishes this fall. This figure was
settled upon, it was announced, be-
cause Of the extremely low price of
the staple and the damage suffered by
food and drouth, making it necessary
that the crop be harvested at the low
est possible cost.

at Elizabethton, Tenn, are now seek.
ing to keep even closer tab on their
employees and those who wish en-
ployment in these mills. Workers
employed and applicants for a job
must fill out a questionnaire that
delves into their most intimate per-
sonal actions.
Long String of Questions
The questionnaire wants to know
whether the worker or the applicant
for a job owns his own home or
whether he rents a company house or
an Independent" How much rent
he pays, or whether the applicants
boards and how much board he pays.
How far he has to come to work;
how much it costs him; whether the
applicant is married, single or sepa-
rated, what church he attends; the
size Of his family; number of depend
ent member and number of working
MEMBERS; how many work in the
plant and their names and the wages
they earn. Also whether worker or
applicant has group life insurance or
health and accident insurance The
worker was informed that these ques-
tions must be fully answered and
within five days so our records would
be complete and up to date"
Many of the workers resented the
prying into their personal affairs,
but apparently they must answer the
QUESTIONABLE if they wish to hold
their jobs.

The number of reported wage cuts
is growing. The wage-cutting en-
ployers claim that commodity prices
have decreased, and that wage cuts
are consequently necessary to lower
production cost. The A. F. of l..
Survey declares that this position is
tallacious and insists that wage cuts
will Clover living standards and re-
auce the buying power on which we
must depend to increase production
and keep the economic balance. >
Wage cuts will prolong rather than
shorten the business depression.
"Organized labor maintains that
costs should be cut by improving eff
ficiency, not by cutting wages" the
Survey says. "Trade unions can help
to avoid wage cuts by actively par
ticipating in programs to reduce ex-
penses, and by demanding efficient
management. Every wage cut re-
duces the future market and delays
prosperity. Every plant improve
ment hastens prosperity"

and working conditions.
Though issued in the name OF
equity, the injunction is usually de-
nial of equity to the workers. As
used in labor disputes, it has become
class weapon for use by one class
of citizens, the employers, against
another class, the workers.
Remedy is Legislative
"The injunction evil is a growing
evil. Having been found effective te
deny the rights of the poor and
humble, it is being extended and un-
less checked it will, in time, engult
the entire citizenship. Even newspa
pers are being subjected to its juris-
diction.
"The remedy must be obtained
through Legislation. The supremacy
of law over court orders must be as
serted by the legislative branch of the
government. The discretionary pow
ers of the judiciary sitting in equity
must be subordinated to the basic
principles of liberty as set forth in
the constitution. Government by law
must supersede government by judi
cial edict.
"The American Federation of Labor
and it's various branches are urging
congress and the state legislatures
to enact laws needed to attain this
end. In its efforts to secure the pas.
sage of anti-injunction legislation, the
American Federation of Labor is not

the working people but to restore and
perpetuate liberty in the interest OF
all citizens"

BEAUTIFUL DAHLIAS
FROM DIR. MARTINS YARD

Eternal vigilance and plenty of
water applied daily, solved the
problem of successful blooms OF
handsome dahlias in the home yard
of DR.. Martin in Magnolia, Della
ware, Notwithstanding the great
droughth which has prevailed dur
ing the summer and this fall sea-
son. The doctor is lover of flow
eTs, and has some of the most
handsome blooms of the greatest
show dahlias, as well as the stand
ard varieties; and, he has shared
some of the pleasure in producing
these blooms, with the Milford
Chronicle Office, as has been a GUS
tum of his for several years past.
Last Friday he brought to the
Chronicle Office bank of specimens
some of which were as large as
breakfast plates, of seven different
varieties, and they were placed on
display in the Office windows, where
they attracted attention of both
passers-by and callers. The gorge
GUS colors with their heavy green
stalks and leaves made a handsome
picture, and the seven varieties
were as follows: Miss 1. D. de
Warner" Jersey Beacon" Jane
Cowell," Jersey Ideal" "Bashful
Giant" "Nettie Walker" and Queen
of the Garden"
AS dahlias require much water
during the month of September and
October, the supplying that ele-
ment is a task when it has to be
done artificially to take the place of
failure of rainfall, as has been the
case this season.
Just a pleasure shared by the
grower of beautiful flowers, repays
for the time and effort expended,
that the home, the town and place
of abode is made beautiful and at
tractive, is worth much to those
who perform duties we all owe to
others as we pass through life's
highways
