The cofmpromiee, 1t was hoped, would be ready for submission ct another meeting this afternoon between workers' and mafiufacturers' rep- resentatives. The committee with drew from the national labor board conference presided over by sena- tor Robert r. Wagner after thir- teen hours of discussion ended in q deadlock early this morning. Wagner requested that the manu- facturers seek to work out Q scale ," Tn reply to tho works demands, ney. pointed out that in 1928 weav- ers were paid S30 for 66-hour week. The demands were "impos- sibie," Cole said. "But this is an era of CO., operation" Wagner said. "Forget profits for c time. You have been in the red, but the work CTS have been suffering too. l urge you to De generous. You know that high wages mean prosperity and low wages mean depression.

Don't Quote Me
BY UNIFIED PRESS


 Washington, Oct 1f-The argu- ment ovor the value of public works to promote prosperity was going on in England 100 years ago in about the same terms as arc now found in editorial columns.
 Robert southey was saying, "A liberal expenditure of public works is one of the surest means for promoting national prosperity" to which Thomas Babington Macaulay replied;
 "The fame of public works is a much less certain test of their util- ity than the amount of toll collect ed at them. In a corrupt age, there will be direct embezzlement. In the purest age. there will be abundance of jobbing. Never were the states men of any country more sensi- tive to public opinion. and more spotless in peeuniary transactions, than those who have of late gov- erned England. Yet we have only to look at the buildings recently erected in London for a proof of our rule."
 A lady sought advice from Prof Rex Tugwell. assistant secretary of agriculture about squirrels which were dragging all the fruit off or her pear tree.
 The former Colrmbia university economies professor was stumped but net licked,
 Why don't you plant a nut tree next to it?" he asked.
 Tugwell stepped into an elevator at the department of agriculture on the way to his brain-trust ofiice. What floor please?" asked the elevator operator.
 "Two," said Tuswell. little surprised.
 fOh, I didn't recognize you with your hat on." the operator said, taking a second look.

POLITICAL ACTION
(The NatiOn)

Nine months ago, with new and
more enlightened regime impending
in Washington. the electric utilities
of America assumed the garb of re-
pentant sinners. They announced the
abandonment of their political and
propagandist activities and solemnly
proclaimed their purpose to attend
strictly to the electric business. The
far-flung propaganda in schools and
colleges, the subsidizing Cf profess
sors, the rewriting and substitution
af textbooks, the hiring of clubwomen
as ghost writer's, the domination of
legislatures and public-service com
misssions-all this was to be no more.
And to emphasize the metamorphosis,
the National Electric Light Associa-
tion was formally extinguished. while
from it's ashes, phoeniX-like, the Edi-
son Electric Institute, purified and
sanctified, arose. At the time The Ma
tion, noting that the old officials
(minus the insults, who were una
voidably absent) were directing the
policies of the new organization, ven
tured to lift a skeptical eyelid. Alas,
too soon are our suspicious confirmed!
The leading editorial in a recent
Electrical World urges the utilities
to take political action" and utility
officials to make politics their major
concern" This sounds like a return
to the old form. But it is a newer
and better form. "This does not

organ, ''potshotting at agitators, at
radical politicians, placing definite
facts in pamphlets for public distri-
button, an advertising campaign,
or a lobbying contact with legislative
bodies-these are incomplete, incor-
rect and amateurish. 1t means a
complete and thoughtfully prepared
political program . in each COM

FOR A THIRD TERM

In announcing last Saturday that he
would be a candidate for reelection
to the office of United States senator
in 1884, Henrik Shipstead who was
first elected to that office in 1922 on
the Farmer-Labor ticket, said:
1T has become very clear that the
concentration of wealth in a few
hands is dangerous to society. 1t ap-
pears now that public sentiment is
coming to favor diffusion of wealth

QUICK, WATSON, THE ALIBI
(The Minneapolis Starr

Two men arrested in Grand Rapids,
Minn., are reported to have confessed
that they committed robberies in Min
neapolis netting several thousand dol
lars.
When arrested they had a large
sum of money, rifles, shotguns and
pistols.
When placed en- trial it will doubt
less be explained that the money was
put into their pockets by a total
stranger, that they were in northern
Minnesota to fish, that the rifles were
for duck shooting. the shotguns for
deer and the pistols for brook trout.
Dispositions will be produced that
at the exact time of the robberies the
young men were in a night club in

THE FARM STRIKE
(Appleton PresS)

Whether or not one believes that
the farm strike is the proper method
of attaining the desired ends, it is
tentioned farmer who joins in the
movement. After II years of defla-
tion, topped off with crop failure,
the majority of farmers in this section
find themselves going into the winter
in what appears to them as a des-
for them under these conditions, and
gOaded by professional agitators, to
view the situation dispassionately,
they would display a better mental
balance than most humans, under like
trials.
The strike is something entirely of
their own making. After years of be-
ing told by alleged experts that their
other proposals would not work, and
being handed expert proposals that
did not work, either. they may be
entitled to their fling If it does ac-
complish something, no one in these
parts, farmer or otherwise, will re-
gret it; and if it doesn't, they alone
are responsible for the failure.
AS they go along, however, and as
matter of record if for nothing else,
it should be kept in mind that the
federal government has launched an
extensive relief program for agricul-
ture. 1t is cumbersome and slow to
get under way. Nevertheless it has
been started. 1t contains all of the
features demanded by responsible
farm leaders in advance of the last
election. 1t has not yet proceeded far
enough to demonstrate either it's sue
cess or failure. President Roosevelt
has announced that if it does not
work. when it has had fair trial,
the effort will be continued until
something is found that does work.
To condemn it as a failure now, is
unfair because it is not yet fully op-
erative. And to say that conditions
have not improved here, at least so
far as market prices on grain are
concerned, is untrue.

FOR COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Editor Askov American:
At a meeting held at the Legion
hall in Hinckley. Dec. II, 1882, with
the different parts of Pine county very
well represented, an organization was
formed to be known as the Pine Coun-
ty Cooperative Federation. The OBJ
ject and purpose of said organization
was to encourage and advance educa-
tion in cooperation and to promote
cooperative effort and unity in legis-
lative and economic endeavor in the
county among the farmers and work
ers. A year has now nearly gone by
since said organization was formed.
do not know what progress has been
accomplished but | am very sure that
if we farmers do not get together and
set up our own machinery to bring
our products to our consumers in a
finished stage and also regulate our
production according to what is need
ed to get a price so we can exist, then
we will be a long time getting last
ing cost of production price.
What is it that is holding us back?
Is it because we are afraid that the
parties between us and the consumers
are going to suffer? Why keep on
piling millions onto few, some will
perhaps say that we have tried mar
keting some of our products, such as
potatoes and eggs and failed. Let
us forget about what we have failed in
as no doubt a good many know where
the weak spot was. Let us look at
what we have accomplished with mar
keting our butter. l know we are not
getting enough for that either, but
what we are getting is better than
perhaps IL or Is cents which we with
out doubt would get at present if
there would not have been any organi-
zation similar to Land OIakes.

MORE CURRENCY

Speaking before the national con-
vention of the Grange at Boise, Idaho,
the other day, Senator Borah, pro-
gressive Republican, expressed con-
fidence that President Roosevelt will
increase the price of agricultural
commodities but he declared the
president will never do it until he
does two things-increases the vol
ume of currency in circulation and
puts the combines and trusts of this
country under control"
Folks who are so afraid that the
Interest collectors might not get their
share should take note of what the
nationally known senator from Idaho
said on this score.
He said issuance of treasury notes,
not bearing interest, was as safe as
issuing bonds which bear interest,
since both are based on the credit
of the nation"

THE SPECIAL SESSION
(The MINNEAPOLIS Star)

Everyone with a political axe to
grind wants to use the special ses-
sion of the Legislature as a grind
stone.
Governor Olson's determination to
confine the sessions activities to Ii
quor control and relief measures will
have general approval.
Either one will be problem enough
and the two are all any one session
should be called upon to deal with.
A legislative session once in two
years is burden enough for the state
to bear. 1t is unfortunate that spe-
cial session must be called at this
time, but since it is unavoidable it's
business should be strictly limited to
the subjects for which it is convened.
