HOUSE COMMITTEE
PROMISES HEARING
ON FARMERS BILL
Date For Hearing Not Yet
Set But Delegation of
S Is Prepared

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.-A hear
ing on the Farmers Emergen cy
Relief Bill, HR 3471, has been
promised by the house committee
on agriculture. This information
was received by Lem Harris, Sec
rotary of the Farmers National
Committee for Action, from Usher
L. Burdick, North Dakota congress
man who introduced the bill by
request.
The date for the hearing has
not yet been set. However, the
FNCA and supporting organiza-
tions have begun PREPARATIONS to
send delegations of farmers to
Washington to testify before the
committee in behalf of the bill.
"Since we will not have more
than five days notice of the date
of the hearing" stated Harris,
immediate steps must be taken"
If you can go, or if your or
ganization can send a delegate, let
us know Immediately. Tell us
how much you or your organiza-
ton can contribute toward gas and
oil and travelling expenses. At
least one car is already available
for that purpose.
If you can't send delegate, can
you send US one dollar to help
send one delegate from each of
five states? One hundred dollars
would send five delegates from the
west. The five delegates would
represent one hundred organize
lions in Washington. Send in your
endorsements of the bill if you
want these five delegates to tell
congress of your support. Notify
US at once at Box S66, Sioux Falls.

ers. Life was very hard for the
working people. Many Of the farm
ers lost their lands because they
couldn't pay their taxes. Some of
the bravast of these men and wo-
men packed their things and push
ed their way into the West where
there was plenty of land. They cut
down the trees, built log cabins,
planted corn, and made their own
cloth, or wore the skins of animals
they shot in the woods, and worst
Of all had to be forever fighting the
Indians, to whom the land right
fully belonged.
Lincoln's father and grandfather
were among the Pioneers who cut
their way into the wilderness, NOV

coin was young man and left his
home in Illinois and floated down
the Mississippi on a raft, the first
steamboats, began to chug their way
up the Mississippi.
Then things began to change.
Trading became easier. The Erie
Canal opened and steamboats,
brought people over the Great
Lakes from the East. Quickly tiny
villages grew into cities. Some PEG
pie began to get rich. They bought
up land and built railroads. Fac
tories poked their chimneys into the
sky.
Lincoln was one of those who
grew along with the new West. His
father could scarcely read or write.
But Lincoln became a lawyer and
worked with the new business men
Of the frontier, who were very
quickly growing as rich and as
powerful as the older capitalists In
the East. But only some of the
people owned factories and banks
and grew rich. There were more

land was becoming less fertile. They

They could squeeze more profits
out Of a "free" white labor. They
found free labor much cheaper.
Slaves had to be fed and cared for
all their lives. But the "free" work

always be found.

"The boycott of Germany here

central organization. Anti-German
agitation is beginning to die down
but it will assume icalculable di-
mensions if the threatened boycott

of the material intere st in Ger

spite of many currents friendly to

the COMMUNICATIONS are unani-
nous in condemning the boycott
Germany boycott of Jewish stores
in Germany. The sentiment here
is fraught with more peril than at
any time during the war. France
and Poland are beginning to re-
gain the lost sympathies. The boy
colt would enhance the communist
influence in Jewish organizations
and elsewhere and would threaten
also German minorities in other
countries. If you will at least
postpone the boycott, believe, ac-
cording to the requests and assur-
ances which have reached me, that
I am IN position to guarantee
that the anti-German agitation in
all world centers will stop at
once"
After this cable was sent, Eas-
ley-whose sole interest, mind you,
is supposed to be fighting radical
ism, suddenly got busy and rarang-
ed for secret conferences in his
headquarters. Those who attend
ed were Judge Joseph Proskauer,
Max ]. Kohler, the attorney, Louis
Wiley of the New York Times and
members Of the National Civic
Federation. The plea was shrewd-
ly made to the Jews that boy
colt would result in a counter-boy-
colt with the inevitable develop
ment of race hatred between Jew
and gentle in the business field
which would spread. The appeal
was made to the Jews that efforts
should be made to stop the boy
colt on patriotic" grounds. All
that the Jews were told about Vie
recll was that he was willing to
cooperate" with them.
AS result of these conferences
a special committee was appointed,
at Viereck's suggestion, to arrange
for a Good Will Commission to
Germany. On May 13, 1888, the
group sent a cable to Schacht out
lining this proposal. Schacht i'm
mediately cabled that this commit
tee would be more than welcome.

consisted of aMtthew Woll, vice
president of the American Fedora

Excuse for Refusing Mattress
Another party had given in his
application early in the fall for
mattresses. When asked why they
didn't receive any, he was told
they hadn't been able to make
them fast enough.
When it was pointed out that
the government had ordered cotton
plowed under because of a "sur-
plus" and that many million peo-
pie were out of a job, that when
there was supposed to be sur
plus of cotton as well as of labor,
and that these conditions had ex-
listed for years, then how could it
be that they were not able to make
mattresses fast enough to supply
the relief, she had no answer.
We all know that it is untrue
that mattresses can't be made as
fast as needed. In this case four
children in the height of winter
were sleeping in one bed without
a mattress, two went to a neighbo1
