The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-06-17

This is a long, long way from
Washington, D. c., but it may spell
the beginning of a breakup OF a
radical political organization which
has been a headache to the regu.
lars, the old-timers and even to
such experts as Jim" Farley.
Minnesota Farmer-Laborites are
the lineal descendants of the old
Non.Partisan League of the Da-
kotas. The Minnesota radicals
reached a high point Of political
power under the late Governor
Floyd Olson, who built his strength
in the two Minnesota counties
wherein lay the two cities of Min
neapolis and st. Paul.
Those counties have most of the
voting strength Of the State; and
to lose an election as important as
the mayoralty of Minneapolis
means that the strong guidance OF
the late Floyd Olson is distinctly
missed.
George Leach Elected
The man elected is George
Leach, Old Guard Republican; the
man defeated was Kenneth Hay
craft, a 30-year-old eX-athlete. He
was known more for the fact that
he had played end on a college
football team, than for anything
else. The Farmer-LaboriteS picked
him instead of their more radical
and more experienced campaigner
"a man named Dunn, who in con-
trast to the average man is a regu-
lar Trotsky when it comes to
radicaliSn.
The situation, then, was simply
q row between two wings of a radi-
cal party, and the reason a Repub-
lican won is because of a fight in
the Farmer.Labor ranks.
From this distance it would ap-
pear that the splendid political
machine which Floyd Olson built
is now extremely vulnerable. Re
publicans are cheered; and it is
almost forgotten that the eyes of
Progressives had once turned to
Floyd Olson as a possible third
party leader-posSibly a major
party leader-in 1910. There had
been talks Of all sorts Of coalitions,
the Wisconsin ProgreSsiveS some
times were pictured as joining
hands with the Farmer-Labor
Party which for 10 years had
things pretty much its own way
in Minnesota.
Cause of Split &c..
The fight which split the Min
neapolis Farmer-Labor ranks seems
to have been caused by middle-of-
the-roaderS finding the Dunn ele-
ment too extremely radical. Min
neapolis has some wild-eyed radi-
Gals, and some Of them are among
the labor leaders, it is charged.
The left-wingers in this present
situation we're badly out-maneu-
vered by the more conservative
wing Of the Farmer-Laborites and
observers here believe the young
football player was put up as the
weakest possible candidate, purely
to let q Republican win-which
he did, $1,000 to $4,000. The sup
position is that without support
from the Farmer-LaboriteS, Leech
could not have been elected.
Behind the lines Of that fight
there is a report here that the
Farmer-Labor Party suffers by q
fight between the farmers and the
laborers. Minneapolis is one Of
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-06-17

the strongest, and best organized
labor cities, but returning agricul-
tural prosperity seems to have
taken the edge off the farmers
radicalism. It was ever thus-the
old.timers say. AS soon as the
farmers get theirs-they let their
erstwhile radical, progressive and
liberals friends go hang-the
farmers vote conservative in good
times!

VARIETY STORES POUR MILK

At this time of the year, produc-
ton of milk always increases mate
rally. Careful estimates indicate
that June and July production, for
instance, will be so per cent greater
than that for April and May. Nov
ing this greatly increased seasonal
supply always presents difhcult
problem.
In an attempt to serve the dairy
industry-which is the support 0f
hundreds of thousands of farm fam
lilies scattered over all states-varie-
ty chain stores and chain drug stores
have inaugurated milk promotion
campaign, which started June 10 and
will run until July 10. More than
$500 of these stores operating res
taurants, soda fountains, ETC., where
milk Is sold or used, are participat-
ing. The Limited Price Variety
Stores Association and the Institute
of Distribution have gotten In touch
with representatives of milk produc-
ers, such as the Dairymen's League
Cooperative Association, the Nation
al Cooperative Milk Producers Fed
Grafton, and other dairy organiza-
tions. The producer groups are en-
thusiastic over the campaign, and
are cooperating with the stores to
publicize it.
II is a safe bet that the campaign
will be successful, and that heavy
stocks of milk will be moved at
prices which are fair to consumer
as we'll as producer. The chain food
store industry has carried on
number of similar campaigns during
the past year. and in every case re-
suits have exceeded expectations.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES coop
ei ration is today an established
phase of our national life. and is of
far-reaching economic significance.
1t serves both the farmer and the
consumer, and has won a wide
measure of public approval because
everybody benefits.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
By Lydia Lion Roberts

What beautiful rainl" exclaimed
Mrs. Burt as she opened the from
door.
The small child who had rung ths
bell looked at her in surprise. "It'i
raining dreadfully hard" she said
''and everything is wet"
"Yes, Ruth, can see the raindrops
dancing in the puddles," said Mrs
Burt. 1.-THE birds will have some
nice baths pretty soon. The rain is
like a silver curtain above the green
grass. See how pretty it is over on
the meadow"
II didn't know rain was ever pref
ty," said small Ruth, and she looked
again with eyes opened to the love-
illness of the scene.
Children hear many complaints
about the weather, sometimes there
is hardly a good word spoken for it,
and yet there is seldom a day that
does not hold some beauty of sun or
shadow. wind or rain. To help the
children appreciate the vivid pic
lures Nature offers in her varying
moods is to open the way to deep
contentment through the years, for
the weather is always with us, and
we may well accept it with serenity.
The sunny days appeal to every
one, but gray days have a peculiar
charm, a quiet haunting quality i'm
pressive in its rich monotones. Show
the children that gray days bring
clouds changing from white to violet
gray and lavender, that pond or a
puddle floats shadows holding tints
of green and amber. Note the misty
wells on the hills. and the slow-ris-
ing fog wraiths circling the fields.
Children usually delight in the
hilarity of the wind and its many
pranks they respond eagerly to its
rush and roar, and love to dance to
its wild piping. Encourage them TO
enjoy to the full, without disparage-
ment, this exuberance and breath
lessness of the wind that stirs emo
tions and makes eyes bright and
cheeks rosy. Let them watch the
mad dance of the tree branches keep
ing time with the wind. Show them
how the fields ripple like an inland
sea as the wind passes over the
waving grass let them notice the
grace of swaying flower and tossing
bush, and the fitting shadows at play
on the hillside.
Snow and sleet bring their own
shining wonder and this may well
be dwelt upon rather than any dis
comfort which may ensue.
II go out in any kind of weather
and like it ALL" declared a vigorous
young woman of seventy dauntless
years.
This attitude is natural to children
unless imitation of grumbling adults
warns their .adaptability. A sleet
storm may be a game, challenge,
white excitement; snow transforms
the everyday world to a strange
mystical land of radiant silvery
bloom, while. icy winds create glitter
ing palace and jewel-hung bush and
tree.
For the understanding adult every
mood of the weather is merely an
other phase of beauty, and in teach
ing this responsiveness to children
we may inculcate the poets attitude
when he sang:
when God sorts out the weather
and sends rain
Wy rains my choice"

FARM BOY ON RAILROAD PAY

| OF interest to railroad men, who
| know how working rules, laid down
by the railroad unions, operate to
pay men for services not rendered, is
story told by a young fellow who
decided to go to work on a railroad
as a brakeman. He was so puzzled
about the peculiar way his compen-
sation was arrived at that he found
it necessary, when writing back home
to one of his farmer boy friends, to
use the figure of plowing in order to
make himself clear. His letter was
as follows:
you would be paid four dollars a
day for plowing or two dollars an
acre whichever way would give you
the most money, and if you plowed
your two acres by noon you would
get a days pay anyway and you
would not have to work in the af-
ternoon, or if you worked and plowed
another two acres you would get
two days pay for the days work. You
would get half hour extra for har-
Messing the mules in the morning and
if you have to go up hill and down
hill you get some extra pay more
than if the land was level. Also IL
you have to turn around more than
three stumps in a day you get ex-
ira pay and If it takes you more
than five minutes to turn a corner
over and above what 1t would with
the team you used to have you would
get extra pay for that. II you plow-
ed part of the day and narrowed the
rest of the day you would get extra
pay because it was a different class
OF service and if a plow broke down
or a mule got sick with the fiue you
would get paid for your acres or
hours whichever was the most up to
the place OF the accident to the mule
or the plow whichever it was, and
then you would get paid for time
you was waiting for the mule or
plow to get well or changed for an
other one at the rate per hour, and
then when you started plowing again |
you would get paid by the acre or
hour whichever was the most, bear |
ing in mind going up hill, down hill,
turning corners, lodging stumps |
and such like as / have mentioned. |
you don't do a good job /
md have to double back and pillow
'urrow over again. You would get
minimum OF ten minutes for this.
Then when you quit at night and
some other fellow was ahead OF you
It the water trough and you have to
wait five minutes to water the mules
You get extra pay for that, which is
,alled detention.
Yours in haste, HANK"
