ing off the second strike, that was
to have started on May 18th of this
year, the militant attitude Of the rank
and file farmers was merely delayed
from acting and not at all weakened
or cooled.
In lengthy statement about Roose-
velt's recovery" act, Milo Reno eX-
posed his own fear for the safety of
the bankers and insurance sharks gov
eminent by saying, "One thing is sure
it will not require any great amount
of time to demonstrate which road
this program will take" (Preserva-
ton Of the capitalist system or revo-
luton by farmers and workers.-E)
Denouncing Capitalism to Fool the
Farmers
And John A. Simpson, wealthy
president of the National Farmers
Union (Simpson is the ex-president
of large Oklahoma bank in a speech
over the radio told the farmers that
the capitalist system must go!' He
has what he thinks is clever line.
1t is arranged to fool the farmers.
What does Simpson suggest as a
means to hasten the destruction of
capitalism? Like all misleaders, who
pretend to demand an immediate de-
struction of capitalism, Simpson ex-
poses his real sympathies by his rem
edies. "Organizel" with the capital
istic National Farmers Union or with
the Milo Reno element "and bring
about the principles of the Golden
Rule"
Simpson, Reno and their kind are
not out to destroy capitalism! They
are trying to preserve a government
of bankers and insurance sharks By
misleading those who would exter-
inmate such robbers and murderers.

employment for May 1888 was below

A few illustrations from the iron

greater Unemployment went hand in

Here are the facts. According to
the Department of Commerce figures
steel production in May 1892 was at
80 1t jumped to 40 in May 1888

FARMERS URGED

Rail Labor Head Hits
"LegaIized System Of
Racketeering."
NJ 49, Areo,tatad DraeS

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, May 3.-The
head Of American railway labor told
farmers today they had been robbed
by a legalized system Of racketeering'
and that he believed President Roose-
velt and the Democratic Congress were
prepared to give them a new deal.
The statements were made by A. F.
Whitney, Cleveland, president Brother
hood Of Railroad Trainmen, In an
address before delegates attending the
meeting of the Farmers Holiday Asso-
citation.
Il want you to understand" he said
that organized labor sympathizes with
you 100 per cent and Is willing to fight
with you. d..
Lets get paid for what we do OF
not do it. You have the power to take
the great corporations which hold your
mortgages and titles to your properties

about the greatest concentration Of

have impoverished the people Of the

Recent arguments that reduced

Of rail employees would act as a boon
to farmers, Whitney branded as propa-

in asking for lower wages had never
even intimated they would cut freight
rates-in fact he said rates had been
raised during the depression.
He advised farmers to use the one
weapon he said they had at hand
the farm holiday-to bring every city

CLEVELAND, May 3.-The National
City Bank of Cleveland, through its
directors, last night made a conditional
offer to purchase the more liquid assets

ian Trust Co., large unlicensed Cleve-
land banks.
The offer was made to the Organiza-
ton Committee of the First National

Guardian and Union Trust liquid
assets.
Should the National City's offer be
accepted and approved by proper au-
thorities, bankers said, the necessity of

One of the conditions of the National
City's offer would require the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to make
loans to the Union and the Guardian.
sufficient to enable the Union to pay
depositors approximately 35 per cent OF
their claims and to enable the Guardian

stock subscriptions was to be raised by
Cleveland citizens, after which $5,000,-

TRUCE IS REACHED
By AIR GROUPS
N. A. A. Allowed to Hold
Meet at College Park
Sunday.

Breaking off of relations between the
National Aeronautic Association and
the Washington Air Derby Association
was avoided today when the derby group
agreed to sanctioning by the N. A A.
of the Langley day air meet to be held
Sunday at College Park Airport.

today. after the N. A. A. had threatened

from the Derby Association Gen.

today, to reconsider his resignation
from the Advisory Committee of the
Derby Association.
Settlement of the differences between
the sponsors of the local meet and the

looked upon by aviation leaders, how
ever, as merely a postponement Of a
Nationwide controversy between anna
teur or sporting pilots and the N A. A..
which has been brewing for several
years and which is to reach a climax
this Summer in series of unsanctioned
Air meets to be held in open defiance
of the association.

SCORES U. S. ATTITUDE.

LONDON, May (P).-"Breach of
contract" is the blunt phrase used by
both the Financial Times and the
Morning Post in attacking the United
States Government on the ground that
in the future interest on American
bonds is to be paid in paper.
1T would be difficult" the financial
editor of the Post declared, "to find a
parallel for so unblushing and callous
breach Of contract as that which would
seem to be involved in Americas re-
pudiation of gold contracts. which are
applicable to so many millions of dol
lars of securities, both as regards gov
ernment bonds themselves and the
bonds of innumerable railroads and
other industrial undertakings. -
This reputation of gold contracts
in United States bond issues in Amer
lea has disturbed the very basis of credit
and the sanctity of contracts"

A vast project for power and irriga-

Basin in the Pacific Northwest Is being

Funds would be supplied by the Re-

points, Dill said.
The new plan calls for a dam 145
feet above the river level, upon which
higher dam could be superimposed in
the future. and a power plant, both of
which would be liquidated in "a years

NEW YORK, May 3.-Mrs George A.

tional Republican Club, Inc, issued to-
day on behalf of the organization's Is
board Of governors statement opposed
to currency imitation. 1t called on Con-
gress to be guided by political men,
ory."
The statement represents, it was ex-
planned, the findings of the group after
month Of weekly discussions.
"One might suppose that currency
imitation had never been tried and
found wanting" it said.
Point to Empire.
ut is being presented to the Amer
lean people now as a direct inspira-
tion, and this. despite the fact that
recent financial history in three great
European nations has shown precisely
what imitation costs.
"The visitor to Germany today Is told
that the prostration Of that country re-
suits from three disasters, the war, the
AS'oAoeaoA1 eAlSA 4AAA4oIAOAl IsACIl O1 every
party are agreed in this, and not the
widest agitator would stand before a
German audience and suggest imitation
Of the currency as remedy for their
economic ills.
And no one in France has forgotten
that when that country came, through
cheap money, to the brink of financial
chaos st-e was saved only through sta
bilizing the fraRc at q price which
wiped out practically the whole Of her
internal debt.
Engiand's Gain Dorsted.
None Of the farmers and small
tradespeople who stood before the post
office and bank windows In the Sum-
mer of 1926. watching silently the post
ing Of prices which indicated the evap-
Grafton of security values, could now
be told that currency juggling solves
financial problems.
LAS to the experience Of England
with controlled imitation, it has been
urged by no serious student of world
affairs that British departure from the
gold standard has resulted in a general
and sustained advance of commodity
prices in that country. The truth is
that commodity prices and prices Of
English stocks were lower in March,
1888, than they were in September
1881, when the depreciation OF the
pound became necessary"
