through sale OF farm produce at
prices considerably above a year ago.
Biggest source of revenue was the
Redwood National Farm Loan asso-
citation, managed by S. B. Duea,
which loaned SLIP, 500 to lit farm
ers. Second is the corn loan plan
which paid A cents per bushel in
cash to 295 owners of 100000 bushels
of corn stored in $50 cribs. The total
from this source was $136, 400. Farm
ers have until February % to get
more of these loans.
Third source is the CWA and CWS
which put cash into the hands of hun
dreds who needed it badly. CWA en-
ployees haye received $78,057.55 and
CWS women have had $3,477.17. This
source continues to bring $4,000
week into the county.
Many Redwood county farmers do
not raise wheat and most Of those
who do, sow only limited acreage.
-the-less another $4,000 was
received as the first payment on the
wheat allotment. Another payment
of $4,000 is due in June.
The loan ASSOCIATION is continuing
to make loans and the recently or
ganized Redwood Falls Production
Credit association, capitalized for
$1O0, 900, is approving barnyard loans,
giving farmers another means of fin
ancing farm operations. w. NJ.
Smith is secretary and Otto Flom of
Delhi, chairman of the new organiza-
ton.
Indebtedness of many farmers has
been scaled down cons derab Y
through the loan association, the
mortgage holder agreeing to a settle
ment figure below the actual mort
gage before the loan is made. On
the government loan the farmer OBJ
tains easier terms.
Meanwhile the county has collect
ed $lS,991.25 in delinquent taxes
through the Duea office and $34,563.-
% in ditch liens, mostly through the
loan office. In AL the county has
collected $56,4I2.y2 in back taxes
since November 1, positive indica-
ton of better times.
Just as the CWA and CWS money
went tor food, cioInlng, rent and fuel,
so is much OF the allotment money
being spent for necessities. The re-
suit mas been a steady flow of bust
ness through normally quiet months
OF January and February.

FEW HOME LOAN
WORKERS
McCarI Ruling on Pay Will
Affect Less Than so.
1t Is Said.

Less than SO employees Of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board will ben
eft under the ruling SATURDAY. of
Controller General McCarl against the
application Of the Federal pay cut
under the home owners loan act of
1888. according to the Interpretation
OF the ruling at the headquarters Of
flee today.
The ruling held that employees un-
der section 6 Of the act are exempt
from other laws governing expenditure
of public funds and are also not af-
fected by executive orders issued BY
the President concerning pay reduc-
tions.
Applies to Saving Division.
This section applies only to en-
ployes Of the Federal Savings and
Loan Associations division of the
Home Loan Bank Board. A special
appropriation of $150,00O was made in
the same section, and, counsel for the
board contends, only those employed
by that appropriation will receive
rebate of reductions already made.
This group of workers has been sub
jected to the IS per cent pay cut
since the division was set up June 80,
1888, and most of the employees be-
gan work after that date.
The staff consist OF 30 field agents
and about Is in the headquarters
office.
Do Not Expect Rebate.
Employees of the Home Loan Bank
Board, 283 in number, do not expect
to receive rebate under the ruling,
since McCarrs decision was based
wholly upon a single section of the act
Employees of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation likewise are not affected,
since their salaries were figured with
out pay cut. The rates of pay were
made to conform with the basic rates
in other departments minus the pay
cut. Thus, instead of paying sl00 per
month for certain job, the salary was
figured simply at s85. Nor will this
group benefit by the recent restoration
of 5 per cent from February / and
a second 5 per cent July /, but the
lower base pay will continue.
Close to 10000 employees in Wash
ington and in the field are affected by
this situation.

Various Services Rem
dered by Society.

The Travellers Aid Society served
6,93l persons during the first three
months Of this year, it was reported
to the Community Chest yesterday by
Mrs. Margaret Ford, executive secre-
tary. This service included every
thing from furnishing meal to sup
plying tickets for returning persons
to their homes.
There were - unmarried mothers
among the group handled by the
Travellers Aid during this period. Un-
stable family conditions brought an
other $50 persons to Washington,
among them being a 16-year-old boy
and his l2-year-old sister, who had
run away from home, and an old man
who had left home because his
granddaughter paid too much atten-
ton to the new baby and neglected
him"
One Of the most striking cases han
died was that of eight small boys who
had run away from their homes in
Baltimore and started for the wild
West" They were equipped with four
blankets and two sandwiches, having
hiked the 40 miles from Baltimore. 1t
took no Sherlock Holmes to deduce the
fact that they were all hungry. The
youngsters were taken to the Chill
dren's Receiving Home, and the Aid
Society communicated with their
parents.

The trustees said the bankers would
not loan them any money, and that
therefore they had to conserve their
cash to insure the payment OF actual
operating expenses.
The coupon clippers who were de-
pendent for their living on the bond

tions imposed by railroad executives

the wages of their employees. Iney
raised the price of bacon some time
ago, and are still raising it. 1t is good
to see some of the benefits passed
around; and an increase in payrolls
estimated at $10,000,000 year is
well worth while.
But the thing that labor cannot for
get about this increased pay is that
the company gave, and the company
can take away again. There is no
union in the packing industry power
full enough to fight the Big Four, and
make them play fair. There are COM
pany unions, but the whole history OF
labor in America shows that in time
of trouble, the company union is
broken reed.
Also, one paragraph of the an
nouncement says that packing house
wages will be SO per cent higher than
before NRA. Another paragraph
says that the new wage will average
$21.82 week. Put those two state
ments together and use your pencil;
and you will find that when the NRA
got an average wage of $16 week
came in, the packing industry worker
when he had full time. Nothing there
to sing praises about.
The securities excnange commission
has procured a permanent injunction
against group of high-powered pro-
moters who were peddling stock in
an alleged rayon company, working
mainly over the telephone. Their TAX
ings are said to amount to over $8,-
OOO,O in matter of months; and
while this is merely small change COM
pared to some of the deals put through
in 1929, it seems a fairly large sum
to most of us.
| Two things in this incident, how
ever, are not perfectly satisfactory.
The grafters got the money, and they
have not yet been prosecuted for
crime The commission is said to be
contemplating criminal charges;
and the entire country will agree in
hoping that contemplation will be fol-
lowed by action.
A few crooks in jail will do more
to stop this grating than even per-
| manent injunction.

1v Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes 1ippantly.
sometimes recklessly.

Here's your hat-what's your
hurry?" said the NRA to General
Hugh S. Johnson "Be sure and take
time to write your full report"
Johnson could have gone out with
more credit and less hard feeling if he
had taken his hat before making his
attack on the textile strike. He charg-
ed that the officers of the United Tex
tile Workers had promised not to
strike. The presidents special board,
headed by Governor Winant, of New
HAMPSHIRE, went out Of it's way to
certify that the officers of the u T.
w. had made no such promise.
1t has been said of certain "pa-
triotic" organizations in this country
that they never learned that the Civil
War was over. Some Southern cotton
mills do not seem to have learned that
the textile strike is over. They are
refusing to take back workers who
have had part in forming the union,
and are evicting the discharged work
ers from company houses.
No possible good to anyone can
come from such action. Reasonable
mill owners, in their own interest
should see that it is stopped.

town of the South:
| IF the man could make living, and
a skilled worker could make $25 q

preme court of North Carolina; James
A. Mullenback, of Chicago, and Henry
A. Wiley, retired admiral Of the U. S.
Navy, has experience, character and
prestige.
Judge Stacey's position speaks for
itself. He has served on five railroad
arbitration boards. Admiral Wiley
has also served on railroad arbitra-
ton boards, and they keep coming
back to him for further services. Null
lenback got his start in labor relations
by acting as peacemaker for the
clothing workers of Chicago-no job
for timid man. Together, as the
Steel Board, they held an election in
the steel mills at Huntington, West
Virginia. The regular union had
majority of all votes cast, and the
board, brushing aside the contention
Of the steel companies, that majori-
ties do not count against a company
union, certified that this corporation
would have to deal with the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers..
The board has a very difficult job
on hand in the textile difficulty. 1t
used to be said that great numbers of
people on both sides who lived through
the Civil War never learned for thirty
years that the aforesaid war was
over. A similar state of what might
be called Suspended information"
seems to afflict a large number of tex
tile mill bosses, particularly in the
South.
They are refusing TO put union work
ers back to work. In several commu-
mites, these workers are being evicted
from their company-owned houses.
One father writes from textile town
that his two sons have been discharg-
ed for the crime Of going out with
their fellows; and that one of them,
whose wife is expecting an addition
to the family in few weeks, never
theless has been thrown out of the
house they occupied.
No good ever was done or ever will
be by such tactics. They are merely
instances Of half-baked "frightful-
ness" which angers much more than
it frightens. To be fair, only minor
ity of the mill owners have resorted
to this stupid bullying; and it is be-
lieved that they will yield to the in
sistence of the new board.

The Advisory Board members who adj
dressed the NRA officials were DR..
Gustav Peck, Miss Rose Schneider

Mr.. Hillman's contention was that
the work week should be reduced to

years experience had proved labor
right and industry wrong about work
ing hours and wages as means OF
fostering recovery.
Father Haas claimed the purposes
Of the recovery law, pointing especially
to it's declaration in favor of increas-
ing purchasing power. He said this
could be done by boosting wages and
shortening hours.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
"A VERY FINE THING"

General Motors Corporation has
issued a pamphlet proclaiming that
collective bargaining is a very fine
thing, provided all power is kept en-
tirely in the hands of the company.
That is a literal statement of the
case For example, the company re-
fuses in advance to consider arbitra-
tion of "any point of issue where COM
promise might injure the long-term
interests of the business" The COM
pany is left sole judge as to when and
how such injury might" come and
therefore could rule out of negotia-
ton any subject which it found un-
pleasant.
In another place, the company re-
minds its employees that the managers
of General Motors are busy people,
who must not be bothered without due
and formal five days notice. The more
urgently an industrial dispute needs
settling, the more it would be ham,
pered by such delay. And almost as
aggravating as this hedging is the
condescension that fairly salts the
pamphlet from end to end. 1t fairly
drips with conscious superiority-and
if there is anything that makes an
argument hard to settle without
brickbats, that is it.
Nevertheless, it represents some
advance on the past record of General
Motors that it feels under obligation
to make any statement.

ANOTHER BIG STEP FOR LABOR

Agreement between labor and the
Aluminium Company of America
marks another big step for labor. Per-
haps the fact of unionization is the
most important factor. Under the
ruling of the National Labor Relations
Board, the union will speak for all
employees where the union can show
a majority within it's membership.
The Aluminium Company has been a
real foe of unionism and the ending

HIGHER WAGES, SHORTER HOURS

HIGHER WAGES, SHORTER HOURS
The NRA Labor Advisory Board is
more firmly than ever convinced of the
validity of organized labor's claim
that code hours must be shorter and
wages higher in order to provide jobs
for millions of the unemployed and
increase the ability of the workers
to expand their buying power of COM
mooities and services.
Before the staff of the national re-
covery administration four members
Of the Advisory Board informed the

sion that years experience with the
Blue Eagle had proved the imperative
need Of higher wages and shorter
hours than those in exixsting codes.
