Their interests run parallel, but not,
records show, their ideas. 1t is ad-
mitted farmers are not sympathetic
with labor.
But didn't the farmers strike In
1888? Didn't they spill their milk and
dump their hay and some of them
sit down" on their land?
Secretary Wallace answered that
question--very cautiously.
They didn't. sit down in 1898, but
they did show deep feeling about
losing their land" he said.
Low Prices Cited.
He added, still cautiously and for
what it was worth: And 1 think it
presented their plight in a striking
light to the Nation. OF course, they
had very great difficulties Prices
were less than one-haf normal-very
grave difficulties"
The Secretary had not asked, he
said, for any reports on the effect of
the present-day sit-doWns on the
farmers. Neither had representative
Jones, although he personally was
known to oppose them.
When the matter was pursued with
Senator Smith, however he was found
much more loquacious on the subject.

Paid Propagandists.

this administration has no desire to
escape.
This morning the compsnys execu-
tives we're refused admission to the
plant. This in itself constitutes the
first overt illegal act and I hope 1t will
be the last.
However, the government is taking
every precaution and has already en-
listed the support of the Ottawa gov
ernment, and there will be available
sufficient police to maintain law and
order. I counsel and request those
Canadian employees, who are ill-ad-
vised by outside propagandists, that
they should stop, look and listen be-
fore any serious trouble develops
There will be no illegal sit-doWn
strike or illegal picketing, and all per-
sons desiring to resume their duties
will be given adequate protection.
Not Threat to Employees.
This statement is not issued in any
way as threat against employees of
the plant, but is simply statement
of policy on the part of this admins.
tration. I repeat in conclusion, that
the entire resources of this province
will be utilized, if the occasion war
rants, to prevent anything in this
country resembling that which is TAX
ing place at the present time across
the line, due to failure on the part of
constituted authority to take adequate
action.
Should this strike continue for an
indefinite period the Cabinet, at
special meeting decided that no relief
will be granted in any form whatso-
ever. This policy will be in effect
throughout the whole of Ontario, ex-
cept under exceptional circumstances,
such for example, as in the case at the
Walkerville plant, which has had to
be closed as the result of the strike
called at OShawa, on instructions from
Mr.. Hugh Thompson of Detroit.
This government has been exceed
ingly friendly in its attitude toward
labor and labor problems and will con-
tinue such policy. Under the indus
trial standards act employers and en-
ployes have enjoyed together the
benefits of this advanced legislation.
More recently still we placed on the
statutes the minimum wage for men
and in the courts of the next few
weeks We hope to have machinery
available so that we may mediate be-
tween the employers and the employees
where grievances exist.
Furthermore, we have been more
than generous in placing at the dis
posal of companies and employees in
all negotiations the services of Mr..
Louis Fine, our conciliation officer, and
great good has been accomplished as
a consequence.
The government has consistently
fought against special privileges or
anything that smacked OF exploitation,
and this year was able to announce
a budget surplus of S7,350,000 and
passed the entire benefit on to the
people of Ontario, in the way of re-
duced taxation. Under the circum-
stances we feel we are entitled to SYM
pathetic consideration of labor, lest
they be led into position where they
will create a much worse situation
than anything that exists at this mo-
ment.
Given sufficient time, we are sure we
can do a great deal to improve the
social and economic lot of those who
are employees of the industrial life of
our province

Senate 4 Agriculture Chairman
Halls Hershey Farmers Action
ShO,ced Spirit That May
Saue Nation Trouble,
Smith Says.

The storm in the chocolate bowl
blew over industry's fence today and
landed in agriculture's back yard. And
when the embattled farmers took up
the cudgels which the law has laid
down and helped oust the strikers
from the model factory at Hershey,
Pa, they showed the spirit that may
save the Nation from some of its pres
ent troubles.
At least that is the opinion Of the
highest ranking spokesman for agri-
culture in Congress. Ellison Smith,
Senator from South Carolina and
chairman Of the Senate Agriculture
and Forestry Committee.
That opinion was not confirmed by
Representative Jones, however, who
heads the Agriculture Committee at
the other end Of the Capitol. Repre-
sentative Jones, much happier in New
Deal society than his senatorial COL
league, had nothing to say And as for
Secretary Wallace, he was very silent.
But it is safe to say that chocolate by
any other name than Hershey tasted

and it could not conceal the tWinge it
suffered as it does whenever another
sitter sits, whether it's down" or 'in"
or just around the corner.
But they won't talk. They won't.
Senator Smith willard did, Late
yesterday, when he returned to his
apartment weary with the affairs of
state, he was not too weary to spring
verbally at the sit-downers like a ter
rler at rat.
Sees "Gravest Crisis"
"The Nation faces the gravest crisis
in its history, and, if anything can
save it, it will be the farmer" he said.
That expression might have been
echoed in the Agriculture Department,
with a different definition OF saliva

time religion Of politics and the new.

STATE WAGE LAWS

House Judiciary Committee Con-
siders Regulation Through

BY the Associated Press.
The House Judiciary Committee de-
cided today to explore the possibilities
OF regulating wages and hours through
State laws enforced in interstate COM
merce by the Federal Government.
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia placed before the committee
a bill that would prohibit interstate
transportation Of goods and merchan-
disc produced under conditions that
would have made their production un-
lawful in the State into which they
were consigned.
Representative Miller, Democrat, Of
Arkansas. chairman Of a subcommit-
tee designated to hold hearings on
the Smith bill. said he believed the
measure offered a solution to labor
problems.
He said national labor leaders, rep-
resentatives Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and representatives
OF industry would be invited to pre-
sent testimony.

He thinks the sit-down direct blow
at the constitutional rights Of all citi-
zens and, while he thinks agriculture
can resist the tendency and has no
sympathy with such measures, he re-
marked:
I see some such symptoms in agri-
cultural labor, temporarily made res
tive"
He said that the Senate had missed

to pass his colleagues Senator

strike illegal without referring, as the

paced his apartment. The moral

THE precedent OF this form of

He chuckled. "The farmers settled
it," Then, he added quickly
Any false principle works itself out
in disaster. That lawlessness on the
side Of the union brought out lawless-
ness on the other side.
Farmers are not sympathetic with

TORONTO, April 8 canadian
Press) The text of the statement by
Premier Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario
on the General Motors of Canada
strike at OshaWa follows:
The government regrets very much
that the employees of General Motors
have seen fit to follow the suggestions
of the c. I. o. paid propagandists from
the United States and to desert their
posts at a time when both the en-
ployes and the industry itself were in
a position to enjoy prosperity not
known since 1929.
Some time ago. when the govern
ment became aware of the activities
of these agitators from the United
States, a complete survey was made
of working conditions and wages in
the automobile plants of Ontario. The
information we have gathered indi-
Gates that with the concessions now
agreed upon between the company
and the employees there should be no
cause for disagreement and the up
setting of peaceful industrial rela-
tions, particularly at this time, when
we are emerging from such serious
depression.
Near State of Anarchy.
1t seems rather an anomaly that
in the centers to be affected, we have
paid out millions of dollars of public
funds keeping on relief those who
today are enjoying an average wage
of over s165 per month. The COM
pany and Mr.. Fine, representing the
Government in the negotiations, have
exerted every reasonable effort to
bring about peaceful settlement of
the disputes, and had succeeded up
to the point where the company itself
had to refuse demand that the ne
gotiationS in future should be con-
fined to itself and the Lewis agitators,
who have at present brought the
United States almost into the state
of anarchy
This is the first open attempt on
the part of Lewis and his c. !. O.
to assume the position of dominating
and debating to Canadian industry.
The government completely concurs in
the attitude of the company that it is
going to remain clear of the domina-
ton OF professional labor profiteers of
the {. l. o. who are making an effort
to exact their monthly toll from the
pay envelopes of the Oshawa workers.
We believe the time for a showdown
IS at the start, and in this regard We
ask the sympathetic cooperation and
support of all law-abiding citizens of
Ontario.
Chaos Created in U. s.
After reviewing the activities OF
these foreign agitators, and the chaos
created by them in the United States,
am satisfied that the policy as die
tated by them will be one of ever
increasing and impossible demands,
eliminating in the course of time in
the entire loss of the tremendous and
eVer-lncreasing export trade now be-
ing enjoyed by the automobile indus
try in Ontario There is no reason
why Ontario companies should be
placed in the position of having to
submit to foreign jurisdiction While,
on one hand, We cannot take issue
with any labor organization which
takes part in peaceful strike, at the
same time the governments obliga-
ton with respect to the maintenance
of law and order is one from which
