Der said.
The federal farm act was designed
to help and not hinder the farmer
and we propose to carry out that
obligation" said Mr.. McKelvie. "Our
work is to see that the farmer is so
organized that he can compete with
other industries. We cannot revamp
in few months a marketing system
that has been in operation for years.
nor is it our intention to do anything
merely for the sake of expediency, IN.
stead we intend to make our work
lasting and of permanent value to
the farmer.
"We desire to eliminate speculation
BY placing the marketing machinery
in the hands Of the farmers them
selves. 1t will be a farmer-owned
and a farmer-controllad scheme.
One Scheme
4The American farmer is the most
efficient producer in the world, but
he is lacking in distribution in
telligenee. One solution Of this prob
lem IN Montana would be to store
the product on the farms here in the
state or at a nearby terminal where
the bargaining poser would reraain
in Montana and not in eastern CEN
ters.D ...
In answer to a common question
that the marketing act will get the
farmer further in debt, Mr.. McKelvie
said the statement was not true. 1t
is rather to encourage the farmer to
conduct his business on business
like basis through cooperation Bet
ter prices cannot be. guaranteed by
the board, he said, but if the farmers
will place confidence in the federal
farm board and will patronize the CO.
operative system they will be in a
better position to dictate the prices
that they should receive than under
the old system s ssss..
Mr.. McKelvie said he hoped to see
the day that the cooperative would
stand alone in face of competition
and against other industries. The
money loaned at the present time is
costing a little over percent, which
added to rhe charge made by the sub
sidiary cooperative organizations
might boost the rate to little over
S percent to the farmer.
There are over 1000 farmers ele-
vators in this country" said the fed
eral farm board member. Largely
they are cooperative and meet the

Low cost production areas like
those included within the borders of
Montana will be survivors of the
coming agricultural struggle under
the economic law of supply and de-
mand, according to Sam R. McKelvie,
of Lincoln, Neb., a member of the
federal farm board.
Mr.. McKelvie expressed his views
of the future of agriculture and ex-
planned the structure of the federal
farm board and the National Grain
corporation to 700 farmers, stockmen,
elevator men, grain dealers and 9TH
ers at the Grand theatre in Great
Falls last Saturday afternoon.
| The federal farm board cannot fix
prices on wheat, but through the
marketing act, farmers can be placed
in better position to meet competi-
tion and thus receive more for their
produce in the long run, Mr.. Nickel
vie said. As to the acreage that
should be planted this year to take
care of the demand, he said it was
beyond him to predict, but it was
his opinion that the American pro-
ducer should base his acreage on the
domestic supply and demand with
insufficient reserve to carry over dur
ing shest year.
While he predicted that Russia was
coming back with larger supply Of
wheat for the world market, he said
lit did not augur. badly for Montana
farmers. Estates such as Nebraska
with higher priced land will pass out

than Montana, he asserted, for those
states cannot compete with Montana,

production can be carried on eff

Ford Lays Off and Lies on Wages

Ford workers know that this is a
Ford lie.
In spite of the fact that the Ford
management hung out notice that
no one shall gather at the gates of
the Ford plant and that all jobs CT
be gotten only through letters, this
being done after and because of the
gate meeting held by the Trade
Union Unity League, hundreds of
workers still gather at gates of this
factory in the vain hope of getting
job. 1t is being said in this town
that the other day about 1000 I'M
employed workers gathered at the
Ford gate here; and that the "fire
and police" departments were called
out and dispersed the unemployed
workers by turning the hose upon
the workers.
Such are the conditions at Henry's
slave-pen! The workers of the Ford
plant of Chester, the employed as
we'll as the unemployed, are success
fully being organized into the Trade
Union Unity League and Unem-
ployed Councils of this town.

CHESTER. Pa.-Several weeks
ago the Trade Union Unity League
held an open-air meeting at the gate
of the Ford plant of Chester, Pa.
About 300 workers listened atten-
lively to George Carter, one of the
Gastonia defendants, and Ray Peltz,
Section 4 organizer of the Commu-
mist Party. When the police came
to arrest these workers the unem-
ployed workers protected them from
being beaten up by the police.
Thousands of workers have been
laid off at the Ford plant as part
of the "raise in wages" in reality,
speed-up and wage-cutting cam
paign. simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the so-called dollar

laid off couple of thousands of
workers. The cheme is to fire these
workers and rehire them at lower
wages. Only some of those remain
ing, mostly the bosses and pushers,
get this increase. When worker
has worked in the Ford plant here
for two months he is supposed to
get raise; but he is usually fired
before the two months expire, SO
that another man could be hired in
his place for lower wages.
Ford is now hiring 19-year-old
young workers at 80 cents an hour
while announcing that the minimum

Ford Pits Kearney Workers Against Each
Other
Other

You might think he brought some
new machinery, No, he simply in
troduced the so-called workers bri-
gade system.
Before, while the belt was in mo-
ton, the workers were placed on
the left and right of the belt. Each
worker used to do his own job, but
Hoffman changed that.
At the polish line all men were
called apart and every seventh man
given a pusher. Seven gangs were
formed.
Now they have put one gang
against the other. The pushers do
not work, but if his gang is left
behind he is fired.
We at Kearney's must join the
Auto Workers Union. We must
form shop committees to be led by
that union.

KEARNEY, N. J.-Mr. Hoffman,
general manager of the Ford plants,
is back in Kearney again, and why :?
I'll tell you why.
Two weeks ago he visited and
found that there were too many
men, and the number must be re-
duced; the jobs weren't good enough
for him, and the daily number of
cars produced must be increased.
After this he left the plant. The
super called the boss of the con-
struction department and said, I
want 60 cars per hour.
So Ford's factory here was
changed to a real crazy house.
Bosses shouted, pushers shouted, all
curses were used. Fire workers
everywhere, right and left. The
point that Hoffman wanted was not
reached, so he is back again. This
time he got what he wanted.

the kulaks to the states, etc., and
then for the benefit of the collecti-

The Presidium of the Moscow dis
trict executive committee has issued
an order prohibiting private traders
to handle either wholesale or retail

In the Lenin anniversary days of
recruiting new members for the
Communist Party, no less than J0,-
1878 workers made application for
membership of the Communist Party
in the Moscow district alone.
According to information issued
by 10 labor unions, 80 factories and
workshops in Moscow itself and four
in the Moscow district have declared
themselves shock detachments in the
struggle for Socialism. The shock
detachments in the Moscow district
have about 10000 factory workers
as members.
Today the new automobile assem-

MOSCOW (By Inprecorr Press

about 5000 farms in the Sarvansk
district in Soviet Georgia, had gone
over to the collective farming sys-
tenn, in other words, about 65 per
cent of the total agricultural under
takings in the district.
During the last few months $4,000
small and middle-peasant farms have
been ca loctivized in Soviet Aver
baidjan, and 10000 land workers
have joined together in the collec-
tives.

complete collectivization is under
