Washington, D. C.-(NWNS)-
The rebellion of vital groups in
the labor army against their own
union leaders, against government
mediation and against law enforce
ment agencies, has overshadowed
everything else in Washington as
it becomes increasingly evident
that Communistic and anti-Ameri-
can groups have a strong grip on
defense industries.
Since the Presidents speech to
the nation, in which he said that
industrial disputes must be settled
without stoppage of work." there
have been more strikes started
than before his speech, serving as
challenge to him to do some
thing about it. With many labor
groups getting out of hand, and
new strikes developing in our
most necessary defense industries,
plant seizures and the use of the
expected until the situation is in
hand.
The public began demanding
immediate government Intervention
in the strike situation when C. l..
o. strikers at the North American
Aviation company's California
plant defied their national leaders
by refusing to work while negotia-
tions were carried on and wired
President Roosevelt's secretary
saying, "The armed forces will not
break our strike. Bombers can't
be made with bayonets." This
defiance of the President by a
union in company which has
5000, 100000 in defense orders, was
considered by most congressman
to be "a last straw" and an invia-
ton for the government to use
every power at it's command to
curb such unruliness.
The danger of the situation was
made glaringly apparent when the
strikers booed their unions ma
tional director, Richard Franken-
steen, and refused to listen to his
pleas to continue working, Mr.
Frankensteen then admitted that
the vicious underhand maneuver-
ing of the Communist party was
apparent in the strike" Declaring
the strike to be wildcat strike"
opposed by G. /. o. leaders, Mr..
Frankensteen expressed the feel
ing of most officials here when he
told the strikers, "Your action to-
day has made one man the hap
piest in the world-that is Hitler"
While strikes are seriously dis
rupting defense production, capital
experts are insisting that our pro-
duction must be speeded up to
point far above previous goals if
we hope to compete with the pres
ent $3,000,000,00O a month produc-
tlon schedule now in force in Nazi
Germany. Following testimony to
this effect before the senate de-
tense committee, Senator Connally
OF that committee commented:
"All we are doing is advertising
to Germany and the world that we
are in a mess on this program.
What we need is. fewer statistics
and more action"
There has been considerable
heated debated over the admins
tration's bill which would give the
President the right to seize all
kinds of property, either personal
property or industrial plants, and
pay for them what he considered
a fair price. Even the President
himself expressed surprise over
the drastic terms of the bill, say

FARMERS BALK AT PRICE FIXING

when planes guns and ammunition and all the
necessary equipment is being sent to England at
prices higher and the calling for cheap
foodstuffs and fiber looks to agriculture like the de-
mand being made agriculture to pay for part
cipation in the European struggle"
That summed up the answer of the Arizona farm bu-
federation headed "Price Limtation-or Else The
farm bureau, in blunt statement by Cecil H. Miller
quick to refute implication that check rein on prices
of the products of agriculture is in order
Miers statement stressed such figures: In 1920 the
price of hogs $2 SO per hundred pounds and typical
mechanics wage SO cents per hour today is proposed
to fix the price of hogs at So hundred with mechanics
wages 97 hour and still going higher Freight
of eggs is higher today with eggs at "a cents
dozen than it when % cents but the peg
price is to be % cents 1t quoted recent raises
Meat packers, per cent Parker Pen company en-
ployees tx per cent Continental Steel, 10 per cent
Wholesale prices &c per cent in March, metals led
the list with 1O2 per cent advance The average OF
March 25 per cent ahead of March last year.
Citing those figures Miller declared that in order to
give poultry as much per hour for his labor as the
mechanic would sell at two dollars dozen
today.
There much reason for farm leaders be disturb
ed any action curb the price of farm
products would appear that price fixing applied to
farm products designed to curb the prices of foodsufs
and clothing to the This does not follow
do the increases retail prices of those commodities dur
ing recent months reflect corresponding increase in
revenues to the farmer
1t is true that improved marketing conditions are
indicated 1t is true that many prices advancing But
there has been spectacular demand quick upturns
which have marked the industrial fields And anyone who
seeks price limitations upon farm products fails to take
into consideration major item, at least far Mesa
is concerned And that is labor
1t is daily becoming difficult to find workers.
That shortage being felt to extent now during
the harvest of grains and hay It will be acute dur
ing the melon harvest in all probability BY cotton pick
ing time not only going to be difficult to find pickers
but it's going to be costly proposition to get of the
valleys best cotton in history to the gnsf all
gets there Is the cotton market getting out of bounds
when prices go up to 13 cents?
Trade agreements which have been made during the
past few years, and will continue to be made put the
penalty the farmer. His products left with little if
any, protection.
The farmer, and other patriotic citizens, wants to
