M'INTOSH FARMERS
PETITION TO GUST
RELIEF DIRECTOR
Compliments Regarded to
Be of ''Unsound Mind"
By Investigator
By a Worker Correspondent

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. g.
The workers and farmers of the
North Dakota prairies are facing
a winter of unheard of misery and
suffering. Already the stock is
showing signs of starvation and
many are being refused relief. Just
last week we received information
of a petition to GUST the relief
agent of Mcintosh county, one Mr..
Piper. This petition was then in
vestigated by the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration with
the following result:
The investigator went to the
county from where the complaints
had come and visited a total of
80 people. One would think he
would visit those who are on the
relief lists, at least, but what hap
pened? Of those investigated 13
were on the relief lists, several
had been refused relief On various
pretexts, and then there were a
politician, two foremen on relief
jobs, a barber, three storekeepers
and gas station attendant, a bank
president and a bank cashier, etc.
These latter individuals were full
of praise for the relief worker
But when an old man complained
because he had been getting $4.O(
a month, the remark of the inves.
tigator was that he was of un
sound mind and the complaint i;
not to be seriously considered
Those who had reason to complain
were unsound mentally, irresponsi
! BILE, or SO German" that they did
MT know any better.
This type of Investigator is wha
there is throughout the state visit
ing workers and investigating thei
homes and then sarcastically sug
costing that their complaints ar
not worthy of consideration. Thi
county is worthy of note for tn
} reason that there the workers an
farmers are not organized. Whel
ever organized groups are fightin
for the rights of the workers, tn
reception is very much differer
and the demands are given after
ton.

farmer, Mr.. Peitso, was forced to
call a voluntary" public auction

this chattel mortgage.
Farmers Determined
The farmers were well organ
lied and were prepared to cancel
the debt by conducting a Sears
Roebuck sale. They were vigorous
in their support of a motion to
elect a committee to take charge
of the bidding and another to pre-
vent interference with the farm
ers' bidding committee.

of the United Farmers League, de-
clared in a talk that "Only by

Great enthusiasm was shown at
the meeting. The members decid-
ID To 90 ahead and formulate a

not take into consideration that as
branch of the big national or
ganization they could not very well
formulate a statement of purpose
that differs altogether from the
purpose as outlined by the league
on a national scale. Not every
branch of the national organization
can follow its own course as out
lined by its own Statement of

The marked decrease in domestic
hog publication is attributed to the
unfavorable relationship between hog
prices and corn prices since the mid
die of 1888 to the operation of the
1884 corn-hog adjustment program,
and to the severe drought which re-
suited in shortage in feed supplies
this year.
Hog prices in this country declined
through October as hog slaughter in
creased seasonally, but there was
some recovery in prices in early No
vember and a substantial advance is
expected by late winter. Hog num-
bers in many important hog surplus
countries have decreased during 1884
and further decrease in some Of
those countries is probable in the
next six months.
The bureau is of the opinion that
United States exports of pork and
lard will be curtailed further this mar
keting year, which began October /,

in hog production in this country and
because Of maintenance and possible
