LABOR HOPE
BY HARRY WARD
international News Service

High hopes for labor during the
ensuing year were advanced TO-
day by three outstanding person
ahties in the labor movement -
Frances Perkins, Secretary OF
Labor; william Green, president
Of the American Federation OF
Labor, and John L. Lewis, presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
Mr.. Green said the new year
would be fateful for labor, adding:
"The Supreme Court will de-
eide the cOnstitutiOnality Of the
Wagner labor disputes act, the
Guffey coal regulation act, the
social security act, and other
measures, all Of which are Of
vital importance to al the
workers Of the nation. The mo-
mentOuS decisions Of the ma
tons highest tribunal In these
important cases will have q pro-
found effect upon the future
policies and procedure Of organ
lied labor"
Mr.. Lewis said, Labor enters
the new year with a determine
ton that it will continue the very
definite progress achieved in the
last few years"
He predicted this year would
witness q strong campaign for or.
SANITATION Of the unorganized
workers in mass production in
duStrieS.
Miss Perkins, who does not see
eye to eye at all times with either
Mr.. Green or Mr.. Lewis, had this
to say:
sTntegrated activity and
sound constructive cooperation
between employees, wage earnerS
and farmers to increase purchaS-
ing power, and with the govern
ment standing by to aid in &C
cOmplishing this objective, will
consolidate the gains made since
the low point Of the depression
and carry the United States into
an era which will bring a greater
degree Of security to all our peO-
pie"
Mr.. Green also pointed out that
there are 100000 people still
idle, and that will be THE Ma
tons chief economic problem call
ing for solution in 1895. He added:
Labor will press for the &C.
ceptance and application Of its
remedy for unemployment, the
shorter work day and shorter
work week, with greater vigOr
than ever before. 1t Is in the
opinion Of labor, the only plan
which will provide for the ab-
sOrption of the unemployed in
private industry"

ers passing from ownership to
tenancy each year.
But Wallace has warned against
large annual appropriations for pur-
chase of land and sale to tenants,
pointing out that many tenants
have never demonstrated desire or
capacity for ownership.
Help for Tenants
The committee probably will rec
ommend a modified version of the
Bankhead-Jones farm tenancy act,
which once passed the senate, pro-
viding individual ownership through
payment Of long-term annuities,
renting from the federal govern
ment, and ownership by groups or
producers co-operatives.
The new program is expected to
stress more experimentation, various
forms of leases, and state action to
improve tenant-owner relationship
by 'such devices as guaranteeing
tenants compensations for improve
ments made on land. It may even
call for federal financial induce
ments to states passing special leg
islation.

Washington, Dec. 31-Crop insur-
ance, farm tenancy legislation, and
q possible strengthening of federal
powers for crop control are on the
cards for agriculture In 1897.
Congress must appropriate the
$500, 000, 900 provided for the benefit
payments and administration Of the
Soil Conservation and Domestic Al
lotment Act, successor to the old
Agricultural Adjustment Act, which
the U. 8. Supreme Court killed.
This is the chassis of the federal
farm program and congress may
make certain alterations to restore
control powers which lapsed when
the adjustment act was thrown out.
The crop insurance scheme will
be voluntary, premiums to be paid
in kind, and designed to protect
farmers against price crashes and
bad weather.
Farm tenancy legislation will more
or less follow recommendations of
a presidential committee now sur
veying the field. Secretary Of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace Is COM
nnittee chairman.

How Insurance viii Work


crop insurance plan worked out by
Wallace's experts is to be applied at
first only to wheat, or should also
be applied at once to two or three
other crops, such as corn and cot
ton.
In years Of surplus, this plan
proposes, farmers would pay their
premiums In the form of crop sur
plus. Indemnities for loss through
drouth or other weather factors
would be paid to the insured farmer
In his bad crop yeras, either in cash
or in quantities of the stored sur
plus.
This will be an administration
answer to the triple problem Of
low prices in bumper crop years,
periodic distress when crops are
destroyed by weather factors, and
the shortage Of farm supplies
sometimes caused by drOuth.
Wallace's committee of experts
urges that only plan for insur-
ance of wheat be recommended to
congress for 1887. Only in coun-
ties where sufficient minimum Of
formers participate, probably up to
30 per cent, would the plan be
placed In effect.
The rate of premiums payable
in bushels would vary greatly, but
in event Of crop failure the insured
farmer would be entitled to draw
from a government warehouse wheat
equal to three-quarters Of his nor
NAL yield.
Wallace suggests records for the
1930-35 period as a base for COM
putting normal yield.

Cite Success of Tests

There are two schools of thought
as to the efficacy Of the conserva-
ton domestic allotment act as a
method of crop control. Some au-
thorities believe 1t can be used as
effectively as the old AAA.
They point out that the new act
seems to have worked well toward
keeping cotton and tobacco pro-
duction within bounds and probably
will do as we'll as the old system
did with wheat, where the adjust
ment act never was as effective as
anticipated.
Under the conservation act, farm
ers are compensated for shifting
from such "soil-depleting" crops as
corn, cotton, and tobacco to such
"soil-building crops" as clover and
alfalfa.
Secretary Wallace, however, has
warned that even with the crop
insurance-ever normal granary
program which he proposes, some
crop control will be necessary.
Administrator III. r.. TolIey Of
AAA says farmers need "a new
and better plan for production
control to take care of emergen-
cies. Whether any such proposal
will be made to congress $ uncer-
tain, but farm leaders are likely
to make the demand.
The present program calls for
administration of the conservation
domestic allotment law to be turned
over to the states In 1888, along with
added authority for regulation of
production and maintenance of farm
income. However, it's not unlikely
that congress will be asked to a.
mend the law to keep administra-
ton Of the act in Washington and
confer those added powers on AAA.
