the same effect.
In addition to the forty million
bushels of wheat now in this country
that would be dumped on the market
understand that Canada has 40 mil
lion bushels stored in elevators near
the border and ready for immediate
export. You can readily see that the
flooding Of the American market with
this wheat would have a disastrous
effect ON the price that our own
farmers will receive. For the first
time in several years the American
farmer has an opportunity to obtain
decent price for his wheat and in
my judgment it would be a catas-
trophe for him to lose this opportunity
because of legal technicality which
prevents the tariff commission from
taking action to establish quotas.
The danger of such exports from
Canada occurring is imminent 1t is
my understanding that the wheat re-
ferred to above is held by few pools
and actually owned by the Canadian
government. Canada has a great sur
plus and there will be difficulty in
exporting it all to England The
British Empire is anxious to obtain
American dollars for the purchase of
munitions. The sale of the forty mil
lion bushels of wheat now in America
would make available to the Canadian
government about $25,000,00O for the
purchase of needed airplanes, NUM-
tions. In my opinion it is more essen
tial that we protect the American
farmer than make available credits for
the purchase of munitions by Canada
have spoken to the majority leader
about this matter expressing the de-
sire that the measure be called up
for action next Monday l will ap-
preciate it if you will look into the
situation and be present on Monday
to lend your support.

In
Relief Structure
Is Threatened
By HENRY ION
Federated Press)

| Prospects of a serious breakdown in
the relief structure of the country in
the event of any sudden strains on
studied here by government officials
and others concerned with the welfare
of the people of the nation.
Weaknesses in the system designed
to meet needs appear in each of its
three major bases. These bases are
% work projects for the employ
ables, (2) local relief for the unem-
ployables, and 90 social security for
the aged.
Work projects, sponsored by the fed
eral government, have not pretended
to offer work to all employables in
need of work. The WPA contends it
has been able to offer work to those
most in need and able to work
The rest of those jobless who are
employable are left to shift for them
selves, either by sharing with families
Or friends or by trying to obtain some
or municipality.
This additional burden on the state
or county or municipality makes their
job of meeting the needs of the I'M
employables more difficult. With re-
stricted funds they have to try to pre-
vent starvation among those unable
to work. When employables are
added to the burden they face an
extremely critical situation.
Supposedly backing up the relief
system is the social security system
with it's unemployment compensation
and old age pensions. AS yet their
operation has been generally unsatis-
factory due to the inadequacy of the
sums, in the case of old age pen
sions, and the red tape and delay in
volyed in unemployment compensa-
ton
On the basis of these factors it is
feared that unless there is a sufficient
increase in prosperity to reduce the
number of jobless employables to the
point where the one billion asked of
congress for WPA by President Roose-
welt can meet the needs of these
persons, the whole structure will col
lapse
States, counties and municipalities
are getting increasingly hard up, as
rule. Their sources of income in most
cases have been strained by the long
pull of the past years and their ca
pacity for taking care of employables
not given federal jobs is growing more
limited.
The social security backstop is not
in sufficient shape to take care of
the overflow with the result that the
coming winter may witness a return
Of breadlines, apples sellers and Hoo
The question Is whether
the "Hoovervilles' will continue to
bear the same names.

to the Waterfront Employers Assn.
S3S 900 of the total of $145,000 paid
for police protection" he said. "Now
I've always thought this was a bad
practice, because suspicious persons
might misinterpret it."
How 5,0S1 strikebreakers were sup
piled to the waterfront employers by
the M. & M. A. during the 1884 strike
was shown by the testimony of George
H. Hippard and Fred r. Fysh, both
of the manufacturers association.
They said that the organization main
tanned an office called the Free EN-
ployment Bureau, which supplied scab
labor for the docks and other strikes.
Carl S. Kegley, former candidate
for state attorney general, and sec
rotary of the Cabinet & Store Fixture
Manufacturers Assn, described an
effort to put pressure on Frank B..
Wheat, furniture manufacturer who re-
fused to operate on an open shop
basis.
Kegley approached the Security
First National Bank, which Wheat
owed $4,000, and tried to persuade
the bank to get tough with Wheat.
When the bank refused, Kegley turned
for assistance to Harry Chandler,
open shopper and publisher of The
Los Angeles Times.
LaFollette introduced subpenaed
records showing that the Cabinet &
Store Fixtures Assn. spent $6,752 be-
tween May 4 and June 6, 1886, for
strikebreaking purposes, of which $573
was paid for undercover operators ''in
the union and in the picket lines"
and $6,179 went to guards"
The open shop agreements which
the Cabinet & Store Fixtures Assn.
imposed upon its members preceding
the 1886 strike required that employ
ers sign no contracts with unions and
that they deal with individuals ex-
clusively. Fines for disobedience
were set at a minimum of $4,000.
Witness Karl Weber, of Weber
Showcase Co., stated plaintively:
policy was to tell the unions he was
closed shop and the manufacturers
he was open shop. He was playing
both sides to pay his debt to the
bank"

Bricker, Bridges, Taft, Vandenburg
and Dewey; everyone expert budget
balancers. But so far, Taft seems to
have an edge as he has figured out
that he can do the job in shorter time
than the rest of them. A real close
competitor to him will be Bricker of
Ohio, who has shown them all how
to do it by doing it as governor of
Ohio. Some fault-finders have yelped
about him not doing things for the
buns in the cities who claimed they
didn't have enough to eat, but as a
statesman why should he be bothered
with anything less statesmanlike than
balancing the budget. Silly.
AS | see it this is more than race
between just ordinary candidates. It's
going to be budget-balancing race,
and it's going to be pretty interest
ing to see one raising the other by
cutting the time it's going to take to
do the job.

quoted above, Craighead is found to
have violated, as an appointive politi-
cal office holder, another section OF
the Montana law by contributing $500
to the "Templeton for Congress" club
in Missoula during the last congress
sional election, according to the re-
port of the club, made to the office of
the secretary of state. The section
violated, through ignorance or other
wise, in this connection, issection
1926 r. c. M. 1885, which reads as
follows:
mo holder of a public position
other than an office filled by the vot-
ers, shall pay or contribute to or pro-
mote the nomination or election of any
other person to public office. No per-
son shall invite, demand or accept pay
ment or contribution from such holder
of public position or office for cam
paign purposes"
The penalty for violation of any of
these provisions of the law is maxi
mum jail sentence Of one year and
fine of $4,000, either or both of which
may be imposed on conviction.
1t may be admitted that these trans
gressions of the provisions Of the state
law are not the only ones that might
be disclosed and future issues OF the
Voice may recite others. 1t seems to
The Voice, that it is high time that
we required our public officers to
tend to their knitting" and not be
wasting the taxpayers time and money
in prosecuting business of personal
interest to them alone.
If the law is not good law, (and
it is not the province of The Voice
to pass on that question: then 1t
should be repealed when the repre-
sentatives of the people so decide. I'm
til the chosen representatives Of the
people so decide, certainly the ap-
pointed holders of fat public offices
should be the last to ignore the law.

Investigation DISCL 0sES FINANCIAL
BACKING OF ASSOCIATED FARMERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. - (FP) -
Testimony being given before the
United States senate civil liberties
committee discloses that the Associ-
ated Farmers, Inc, an organization
whose activities have aroused nation
wide protest, receives its financial
backing chiefly from banks, railroads,
Gamers, sugar corporations, process
sors, utilities and packers. Evidence OF
intimidation and coercion was given
the committee by farmers who did not
subscribe to the Associated Farmer
program.
The chief witnesses who have ap-
peared before the senate committee to
relate their connections with the AS
ISOLATED Farmers, Inc, are: Colbert
Caldwell of Caldwell, Cornwall and
Banker, an important land investment
company; Earl Fisher of the Pacific
Gas and Electric Co.; A. w. Earnes,
of the California Packing Corp, which
is the worlds largest Gamer of sal
mon, asparagus, spinach, tomatoes,
corn, prunes, peaches, pears, apricots
and grapes; and S. Parker F'risell, gen.
orally referred to as 1.-THE brains" or
the Associated Farmers also on the
payroll of the University of California.
The Bank of America, Giannini
enterprise formerly the Bank of Italy
and one of the chief land mortgage
holders in California, has been cited
as one of the earliest and largest con-
tributors to the Associated Farmers
fund Other banks named as "angels"
were the Anglo California Bank,
Croker First National and American
Trust. The railroads named were the
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific. Gamers, packers, and process
sors, some of whom own many thous-
and acres of land, included the Can
ners League of California, California
Dried Fruit Assn, California Packing
Corp, American Can. Co., California
Hawaiian Sugar Refining, Holly Sugar
Co., and the Spreckles Sugar Co.
Also named on the roster of contrimu-
tors were Pacific Gas and Electric Co.,
Utilities Companies, Southern Californ-
ians, Inc, and the San Francisco In
-dustrial Association-the two latter
being employers associations.
Senator La Toilette asked S. Parker
Friselle why donations and member
ships were sought among the corpora
lions and banks, instead of among the
farmers. The explanation offered by
Friselie was:
ION account of the distress of the
country in 1888 and the danger Of
bloodshed and trouble caused by
subversive groups, we recognized
the necessity of speed-getting pro-
lection from the Reds. Hence our
haste to go to the industrialists e. :"
A small farmer from Yolo county,
John Storland, told the civil liberties
committee that he received threats
by the Associated Farmers for letting
apricot pickers hold meetings in his
orchard. He reported that a group of
Associated Farmers told him, "If you
don't make them stop using your place
for meetings, you'll have to take the
consequences"
Is the purpose of the Associated
Farmers, Inc, pro-farmer or anti
labor?
This seems to be one of the chief
questions under investigation by the

senate committee at thepresent time
Organizers for the Associated Farm
ers, including Garrison, Angler and
their energies to areas where they
thought union might be starting up,
that they made fiery epeeches attack
ing labor, that they lobbied for an anti
picketing law, that they worked with
local sheriffs and supplied strike
breakers to corporations.
In the case of the 1897 strike at the
StocktonFood Products plant, San
Joaquin county, one of the bloodiest
attacks ever staged In California, Sher-
if Odell had purchased "soft-nosed"
bullets, 446 pick-handles, tear gas,
"KO" gas, candle shells, long range
gas equipment, rifles, and shotguns.
The Associated Farmers ran truck
loads of scabs into the plant, and the
unarmed picketers charge that these
trucks fired barrage Of shells before
coming anywhere near the picket line
and without proyocation.
Testimony on Suffer county, Cali
1Orn1a feVedleu THAT the local SHeTlll,
Herbert Ulrey, let the Associated
Farmers use his office, typewriter, sec
rotary and his supplies and that
state senator, John Banning, was guar
anteed salary of 5000 a month, plus
expenses, to organize the Associated
in this county. Captain Weldon Broun
of the state highway patrol offered to
supply the organization with axe
handles, and a captain of the national
guard, Marion Underhill, offered to
cooperate" with his men, Associated
Farmer representatives admitted that
officials of the California Packing
Corp, held positions as directors in
their farm" organization. Further
disclosures have been made since the
resumption of hearings last week

ments of the two professors in their
respective fields aside from their
teaching duties were probably of great
value to the university
Impartial observers at the hearing
are said to have gained the impress
sion from the generally relieved air
prevailing when the hearing opened on
Monday, that some form of compro-
mise settlement was in the offing.
1t is the opinionbof some Missoula
residents that there is a possibility
that the board will "whitewash"; that
a great deal of testimony which might
have been brought out showing the
influence exerted by the Missoula Mer-
camille company and other business
on the faculty and the university af-
fairs generally has not been laid be-
fore the board, those being best able
to testify to such conditions, for some
reasons OF their own having decided
not to do SO.
