STRIKE IS ONLY WAY LEFT.
DECLARES FARMERS LEADER

Year Wait for Legislation-Scores
Broken Promises.

movement is vitality important to not
only the farmer, but to all other groups
that serve society. Our success in the
few days that our program has been put
in operation is, indeed, gratifying.
We do not expect to obtain our OBJ
jective without some difficulties. No
other movement of great and vital i'm
portance has been able to avoid these
obstructions.
Trouble Kept Down.
In the State of Iowa, at the various
marketing points, system of picketing
has been established to prevent the
marketing of farm products at less than
production costs. and their success has
been satisfactory. Trouble has not al
ways been entirely averted, but when
we consider an aggravated situation,
such as at present, and that the farm
ers as class are practically unedu--
Gated in strike movement, am glad
to say unhappy situations have been
avoided generally.
The leaders in this movement in
variably counsel obedience to law and
peaceful picketing-in fact, the use OF
moral suasion is a more convincing
argument than force, not only among
distributors, but among the consuming
public. It is far more potent in show
Ing the business of our cause.
Failure of this effort to obtain COM
mon justice would mean degraded and
unthinkable peasantry for the men who
till the soil. The success of this move
ment means, not only the prosperity
and happiness of the farmer, but jobs
for the jobless and prosperity for our
business institutions, which must have
a prosperous agriculture before they
can hope to enjoy prosperity them
selves.
The demands for organization are
coming in by the hundreds from every
Midwestern State and as far East as
Pennsylvania. Letters of interest, COM
mendation and encouragement have
been received from every State In the
Union and from Canada.
The day for pussyfooting and decep-
ton in the solution Of the farmers
problems Is past, and the politicians
who have juggled with the agricultural
question and used 1t as a pawn with
which to promote their own selfish in
terests can succeed no longer.
The farmers of this Nation are de-
termined and realize they have nothing
to lose and everything to gain by fol-
lowing the program that has been es-
tablished by so many of our banking
institutions In declaring holiday and
refusing to permit their hard-earneo
equities and savings to be swallowed
UP by an unrighteous and unthinkable
economic situation.

their companies for their own personal
advantage" he stated 1.-The exchange,
of course, has no control of corporate
officers, but it is unalterably opposed to
the misuse of confidential information
by corporate officials" The exchange,
he said, had taken the lead in influence
ing corporations to furnish full pub
licity on their earnings and assets to
their stockholders
The full text of Whitney's reference
to the Senate disclosures that some
newspaper men had received money from
persons interested in distributing secu-
rites follows:
"One of the abuses disclosed by the
investigation was the payment OF money
to employees of the press by persons who
are either speculating in or distributing
securities. Quite frankly, we have no
idea of the extent of this evil, but We
shall seek the cooperation Of the own
ers of newspapers and their financial
writer's to make sure that practices OF
this kind will be eliminated.
I'm fairness to members OF the ex-
change, must say however, that much
of the testimony presented to the SEN
ate Committee on this point was mis-
leading. We have investigated every
case where sufficient facts were given
to identify the transaction. one witness
submitted the names of number OF
members of the exchange as the alleged
source OF payments for false publicity
without exception, our Investigations
disclose that no money, options, or otner
things of value were given TO TINS m
dividual by members OF the exchange
for their own account for false or In
spired publicity.
Payments were made to the indi-
vidual in question in some cases upon
the order of and for the account OF
customers. We have found no evi-
dence that any Of these payments were
made by q member Of the exchange
with knowledge that they were Tor i'm
proper purposes.
Evil Can Be Prevented.
"The mere fact that we have not
found evidence that a member OF the
exchange was directly connected with
practices of this kind does not mean
that the evil is non-existent.
LAS far as protection of the market
is concerned, it is immaterial whether
payments for false publicity were made
by members of the exchange or other
persons. This evil, believe, can be
prevented. I know that the owners and
publishers of our newspapers and all
responsible representatives Of the press
will Join with the exchange in taking
whatever action is necessary to stamp
out practices Of this kind"

Was Committed and Wants
to See Justice Done.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WINSTON SALEM, N c., August
25.-R. j. Reynolds, jr., heir to the
tobacco fortune founded by his father,
believes his brother, Smith, was mur-
dered, but he wants to see justice
done" and is going to leave investi-
CATION Of the case to regularly con-
stituted authorities
Reynolds expressed himself In an
intervie where yesterday. He arrived
in winston Salem the day before after
a 12,000-mile trip by land, sea and
air from off the Canary Isles, where
he was cruising when advised of his
brothers death.
Smith Reynolds was fatally shot at
Reynolda, the family estate near here,
on July 6. His death came few
hours after he hao entertained a
number of friends at what was de-
scribed by witnesses as a corn liquor
and home brew party.
Widow and Friend Held.
His widow, Libby Holman Reynolds,
Albert (Ab) walker, Winston Salem
and secretary, we're indicted early this
month for first-degree murder in con-
nection with Smiths death They are
at liberty under $4,000 bond each.
Their trial date has not been set.
Reynolds said his opinion that his
brother was murdered was based on a
close study Of the testimony taken be-
fore coroner's jury which July IL
blamed the death Of the younger Reyn-
oldS on unknown parties" Reynolds
said he had gone over the testimony
with his attorney, Stratton Coyner Of
Ashveille.
II want to see justice DONE" he said
in reply to an inquiry II he had any
plans regarding his belief that Smith
was murdered.
IT believe the regularly constituted
authorities are fully capable Of handling
the case and are going to the bottom
of it."
Met Mrs. Reynolds Twice.
Reynolds said he had met Mrs. Reyn-
olds twice before her marriage to
Smith Reynolds. Both times she was
with Smith.
Smith was a very level-headed boy"
Dick said. II knew him better, perhaps
than any one else. When received q
brief cable telling of his death, I felt
sure he had not taken his own life. I
thought probably it had been an acci-
dent"
He answered sharply in the negative
when asked If he thought his brother
was Of suicidal temperament, or ex-
pressed an infer1ority complex.
Miss Holman. in testifying at the
coroners hearing, asserted her hus-
band, six years younger than herself
was the victim Of an inferiority COM
plex.

order. He has a well known fondness
for animals and frequently visits the
Central Park Zoo.
But Mr.. Smith does not attempt to
deny that he reads every word of the
editorial pages. He couldn't, because,
if he doesn't like an editorial, with
that hewing to the mark which is
characteristic of him, he calls the
writer on the telephone and tells him so.
Once, when Governor, he violently
disagreed with an editorial written by
Frank Munsey. Happening to be in
New York, he clapped on his hat, went
down to Mr.. MunSeyS office, and laid
down the law. The result, in this in
stance, was that the men became friends
and the autocratic Munsey went so far
as to send his Albany correspondent
notice to that effect. One of Mr..
Smiths favorite editorial writers was
the late Frank Cobb.
Likes Real Argument.
Frequently Mr. Smith asks Walter
Lppman to visit his ONCE for a first
class argument. He Is not willing to
comment on the writings of Calvin
Coolidge, but in their business aSsocia-
tions the two have become friends.
Aside from editorials, Mr.. Smith reads
stories of the day and both local and
foreign political news. In his own
writing he finds it easier to work in
the afternoons and at night. He does
great deal Of revising before he gets
something which satisfies him.
ThoSe>fn constant contact with Mr..
Smith say that one Of the most notable
characteristics he possesses Is his ability
to strike directly at the heart Of mat
ter, whether in regard to something
written or in business. He Is q good
listener as long as those to whom he "a
listening stick to the point. He has q
great faculty for absorbing facts or
knowledge presented to him in verbal
form.
His gift for straightforward thinking
and speaking Is natural attribute, but
his faculty for straightforward writing
may be result of the fact that, IN his
youth, he was a great reader Of the
Bible, with its simple, declarative style.
In his position as editor OF the New
outlook he will be absolutely untram.

The Governor directed Seabury to

Before Senator Westall had uttered
a single word Of testimony, Gov. Roose-

Discussed Clipping Contract.
Last night Curtin called Walter Hyams,
representative of a newspaper clipping
bureau, Hyams said that, about the
time 1t was announced Samuel Seabury
was to be counsel for the Hofstadter
legislative Committee, he went to see
Seabury and subsequently called en- one
of his assistants. Jacob Gould Schur-
man, jr., to discuss contract for clip
pings.
"For what purpose is this testimony"
Gov. Roosevelt interrupted.
ITO establish" Curtin replied. that
this investigation had one individual In
mind even before it started"
Il don't believe this testimony Is
needed" the Governor said.
II must 60 back again to my previous
statement" Curtin said You have
here a dead record. What was the
motive?"
when did this take placer" the Gov
ernor asked.
Curtin replied that the conversa-
ton took place in February, 1881.
IF a man says, My purpose is to
get Mayor Walker and that is stated
even before the journey is started, "
Curtin argued, don't you think that
should be brought out?"
II again rule" said Gov. Roosevelt,
that cannot take such testimony"
Hyams then left the stand and
Delaney began his two hours Of testi-
mony.
DR.. Potter was called as a defense
witness. He described the procedure
by which he assigned city employees suf-
fering from injuries to the different
doctors.
Curtin questioned DR.. Potter.
Q. Do you know DR.. William H.
Walker?
A. Yes. I have known him about
80 years.

Q. Has he ever spoken to you about
city compensation cases?
A. Never.
