M'NARY SAYS BEER NOT RELIEF
WILL CONCERN CONGRESS

Senator Charles McNary, repub-
lican, of Oregon states from
Washington that the farmers need
expect no relief from the coming
session of Congress which con
venes next month.
He says that routine business,
and debates over beer will push
legislation for relief of the farmer
into the background.
This senator, although the CO.
author Of the -Haugen BIZ
which was supposed to give farm
ers relief by boosting the price of
farm goods to consumers doesn't
seem much concerned at the in
creasing misery that is the farm
eI's lot. McNary will be the Re

ever, he and other members of
Congress will spend their time de-
batting whether they should bring
back beer when what beth farm
ers and workers need and must
have is shoes, bread, and home.
The only way that farmers can
win relief is by forcing it from
the government and its repre-

HOLIDAY ASSOC.
STOPS NEB. SALE
Banker Forced to Return
Crop and Property of
Aged Couple

Platte Center, Nebr., Nov. 49,
A committee of action of Farm
ers Holiday Assn. stopped a sale
on the personal property of an old
couple living near here two weeks
ago.
A banker in Columbus held
note for $235 on all the personal
effects of the old couple and when
the note fell due the banker de-
manded full payment. The aged
pair offered to pay interest but
this would not satisfy the banker.
He hauled all the property to town
leaving only two old horses that
are worked out, a dry mix COW
and a dozen chickens witch aren't
laying. This was the bankers
idea of generosity. He also hauled
away all the crops of the farm
which were under mortgage and
to be sold.
The sale was to be held in Co.
lumbus at 8 a. m. This arrange
ment was made because the bank
er thought that sale in town
would forestall action by the farm
ers and they wouldn't be able tx
get into town by 8 in the morn

DRESSER TALKS
TO AID MOONEY
Crowd of 1900 Jam Hall
to Hear New Testimony
of Callicotte

San Francisco, Calif.-A new
impetus is given to the struggle
for the release of Tom Mooney
with the launching here at a rec
ord mass meeting presided over by
Theodore Dresser, Of an intensi-
fled free-Tom-Mooney movement.
Eighteen thousand workers from
all parts of the state damned the
balconies, platforms and aisles of
the Civic auditorium and listened
in awesome silence to the factual
testimony of Callcotte, who, under
Dreiser's questioning, revealed he
had been hired by two men, Meth
er of whom were Billings or Moo
ney, to secrete the suitcase which
must have contained the bombs
that killed ten in the Preparedness
day parade, July %, 1916, and for
which Mooney and Billings, the
strike leaders were framed.
POLICE AGENTS PRESENT
Representatives of the San Fran
cisco district attorney, Captain of
Police Cough and Chief of Police
/ Quinn were present and were in
vited to cross question Callicctte's
testimony in public, but faced
down by his unassailable story,
they refused.
Lincoln Steffens, famous for his
investigations Of graft in Amer
lean politics, brought forth wild
acclamations in striking the key
note Of the mass meeting with his
statement:
'Tom Mooney has his first real
chance for freedom with the mas
ses of workers led by the l. l.. D.,
which has thrown its full force be-
hind him."
Tumultcus cheering greeted the
reading of messages to this meet
ing and to Tom Mooney from the
international Labor Defense, Cen
tral Committee of the Communist
party in Germany, from the Com
lmunist fractions in the Reichstag,
lsigned by Clara Zetkin, and from

DAIRY FARMERS
STRIKE AGREED
Delegates to Wis. Milk Pool
Conference Authorize
Strike Dec. /

Appleton, Wis, Nov. IL. =
state wide milk strike was voted
by the Wisconsin Cooperative Milk
pool Friday at the closing session
of a two day conference as a pro-
test agrainst prevailing low prices
for farm produce.
The resolution, introduced by
Paul Weiss, Crawford, county,
authorized directors of the coop
erative to make preparations for
strike beginning December if
universal state wide raise of 5
cents per pound for butterfat is
not in effect on that date.
Another resolution called upon
A. G. Schmedeman, newly elected
governor, to ''initiate such legislar
! tive measures as will improve the
prevailing hopeless conditions II
the market of dairy products.
"URGE ROOSEVELT"
President-elect Franklin Roose-
welt was urged in another resolu,
] ton to initiate legislation to place
an embargo On all foreign oils anC
fats used in the manufacture Of
oleomargarine. He also was pc
titioned to make changes in the
extension service of the depart
ment of agriculture to foster con
solidation of all national farm or
CARNATIONS.
Governor-elect Schmedemen alst
was urged to choose from the ranl
and file of Wisconsin farmers the
appointive officers in state de
partments, activities of which ar,
related to the improvement of thu
agricultural industry in the state.
Still another resolution indorset
the farm holiday movement beinl
directed by the National Holida,
association.
Editors Note: The appeals to
the Democratic governor of Wis.
cOnsin and to Roosevelt show
the reasons for the Democratic
landslide. The mass of the
farmers as the mass of the city
, workers have been deceived into
! believing that the Democratic
agency of Wall Street will do
$ better than the Republicans did,
If the farmers of Wisconsin
7 carry on a militant strike they
will soon learn that they can ex
: pect no more from Governor
Schmedeman than from the "pro
, gressive" LaFOllette or from tn
Republican reactionaries. They
! will learn that only militant ac-
T tion will win any relief from
the milk trust and from the
bankers.
