Does it Pay to Truck Live
Stock to South St. Paul?
Long Prairie Shipping Association
Ascertains Surprising Facts
After Investigation

The increasing tendency to ship
livestock by truck to South st. Paul
is causing S aux Centre Farmers
Shipping Association considerable
anxiety. Recently one of the Todd
County Live Stock Shipping Associ-
alton took cognizance of this condi-
ton and made thorough investi-
cation of the costs Of shipping by
truck and the figures quite clearly
prove that shipping by truck brings
the farmer less net returns than by
shipping through their own CO.
operative association. The figures,
which are authentic, as found by
the Todd county farmers are apple
able. to the members of the Sank
Centre Shipping Association. The
following taken from the Long
Prairie Leader will be of interest to
all farmers of this section.
1.-THE figures gathered, and they
are correct and authentic, accord
ing to the shipping association board
refer to the business done by
one truck line which hauled the
equivalent of 68 cars Of stock to
South st. Paul. With commission,
yardage, state weighing and other
charges at the yards included, the
cost to the farmers who shipped
this stock by truck was $1.18 per
head for cattle, IS cents per head
for calves, As cents per head for
hogs and 81 cents per head for
sheep. Added to this must be the
truck lines charges for transporta-
ton, which is a considerable sum.
Commission men at the South
st. Paul yards have figured out
that the farmers who shipped these
+68 carloads by truck would have re-
ceived the sum of 3d. more for
the stock had the shipments been
dispatched by rail through the CO.
operative associations. The latter
figure is based on what the stock
shipped by truck sold for unfed as
it was sold, and the comparison
was drawn with a like amount re-
ceived at the yards from the CO.
operatives. All of the stock shipped
by the cooperative association is
fed before going over the scales,
while that sent by truck is not so
handled.
1.-THE Clarissa Independent last
week had something pertinent to
say on the above subject, and every
Todd county farmer tempted to
ship his stock by truck should read
what the Independent editor has to
say about the matter, Here is Mr..
Etzelps comment:
big business is so greedy that
they not only go after the small
business man, but are now attack.
ing large cooperative societies.
Some years ago the farmers organ
lied what is now known as the
Central Commission House, to
handle the farmers livestock down
on the South st. Paul market. Most
of the cooperative shipping associa-
ton are members of this central as
ISOLATION, and as a result the CO
operative association has been get
ting better than 5 per cent Of all
livestock that has been going on the
South st. Paul market
"The large privately owned COM
mission houses saw their business
slipping from them and they knew
that the day would come when the
cooperative society would handle
all Of the farmers livestock.

Pope Says God Sent
Unemployment: Should
Not Blame Capitalists

ROME, Italy, Nov. 80. - Pope Plus
today had published in the Vatican
official organ, Osseryatore Romano,
a statement that no man is respons-
ible for the depression and terrific
unemployment and misery which
sweeps the world today. In evident
attempt to excuse capitalism, which
is the only social system that has any
crises, the Pope says the crisis came
by the will of god: "It is evident that
the hand Of god is being felt and the
things of the world are obeying the
hand Of god.' He intimitates that
the crisis is somehow good for those
who are starving and although calling
for charity, states further, '"The ter
rible danger of the present situation
is that in relief conferences, mo one
has spoken of god and no one has
recognized the divine hand which
events obey
But in spite of the Pope's hint, hun
ger marches will still be directed
against earthly capitals. The millions
Of starving jobless will not wait for
god to feed them.

The Workers EX-Servicemen's
League and the Alliance of the Chi
nese Anti-Imperialists, New York

the attempts of Kuomintang leaders
in Chinatown to break up the anti

follows:
"The mass meeting In the Chinese

the Workers Ex-S League
and the New York Branch of the Al
lance OF the Chinese Anti Imperial
lists, t oappeal fof revolutionary sol-
darity of the international ro,etariat

churia; to expose the treacherous role
of the Kuomintang leaders, the pup
pets of Imperialism, and to support
the heroic struggles of the Chinese
workers and easants who are the real
defenders of the independence of
China.
"The meeting was supported by
hundreds of Chinese, white and Ne
gro workers present. The Kuomin-
tang leaders instigated the gangsterf
and the police to break up the meet
ing. They did not succeed, because
of the militant support given to the
meeting by the hundreds of workers
present.
"TheNew York Times and other
capitalist papers joined the attack
on the meeting by manufacturing the
most vicious lies and slander about
the character Of the meeting, ant
trying to defend the police ant

I'VE call upon all workers and ex-
plotted masses TO expose these prevo-
cations of the imperialist agents ant

whole squad Of policemen cor
nered Henry E. Martell, aged 80.
and so emaciated that his corpse
weighed hardly 100 pounds, and
another man here last night. They
had been called b. neighbors who
saw some men taking a few cans
of food from the store. Policeman
John A. Mcehan. s feet 2 inches
high and Weighing 2e0 pounds,
picked out AIartell and killed him
with q shot through the brain as
the undernourished jobless worker
was trying to get away. The po-
lice arrested Martells companion,
Joseph r. Riordan, and he stated
they were unemployed, penniless,
owed $25 for room rent, and were
starving.
The men took only food, ignor-
ing the cash register. They we're
entirely without weapons.
The policeman's excuse for kill
ing this starving man is that he
thought the can Of sardines Mar
tell had in his hand might be used
as a weapon against him.

Carpenter Local
Endorses March
Vote to Send Delegate
on National March

NEW YORK. - Carpenters Local
1854 (AFL) of Brooklyn voted at Its
regular meeting Tuesday night tc
send a delegate on the National Hun
ger March to Washington.
They did this in spite Of every op-
position and every attempt to sa5o-
tage by the chairman of the meeting
and his followers.
When delegate Shaw of the Build
ing Trades Construction League, came
as the representative of the Unem-
ployed Councils and asked the floor
to speak on the Hunger March and
unemployment insurance. the chair
man refused it to him. A discussion
of an hour and half followed, In
which the chairman was overruled
and Shaw given the floor. He made
an excellent impression, and a motion
to elect delegate on the Hunger
March followed.
This was carried in spite Of oppo-
sition by the chairman. Then the
chairman proposed to leave selection
of the delegate until after all routine
business was over, evidently intend
ing to adjourn without electing. An
other discussion as long as the first
followed. and the chairman was voted
down. He then refused to sign Gre
dentials of the delegate selected, I.
Packman. The members of the local
oyercame this last trick by simply
authorizing Packman to represent the
local, and he is going on the march
to Washington. There we're $50 men,
bers of the local at this meeting.
