that the heavy taxes" have not des-

II Leon Henderson, price stablllza-
tion commissioner In the National De-
Tense Advisory Commission, has his
way, you can look forward to some
rather drastic action to keep prices of
certain materials down. With proper
cooperation of other government
agencies, Henderson's office could go
a long way to prevent soaring prices.
Although his office has no authority
under existing law to enforce price
ceiling for any commodity, the gov
eminent has the power, under the de-
Tense act, to commander factories un-
der certain conditions. His efforts
thus far, however, are said TO have
been hamstrung by some of the dollar

Mr. and Mrs Public:
Following is by the Yellowstone County
Trades & Labor Assembly from FarmerStockman, the
original of which sent to the Associated Industries
May ask that you carefully read this letter and
what the reaction of the FarmerSockman the at
tempt of this to solicit the support Of the Farmers
in an attempt to silence the voice of Labor:

Dear Sir:
81 am farmer-stockman received your Special
Bulletin Farmers of the Billings Region also your page
Farmers Fight WORLDS Worst MONOPOLY, presum-
ably labor
81 agree with your idea help cooperate with the
farmer, but l DISAGREE with your approach that
farmer and labor should fight each other with bankers
and big business agents their general while they
exploit them both going and coming as of old.
n the Billings region in all other regions in the
United States at the top of social and Dem
ocrac structure, the largest net profit is interest col
eced by the banks next largest net profit to big
business through their agents. these two largest profteers
your smallest regional tax payers at the bottom
of social and Democratic structure for the
poverty, debt increasing taxes and smaller in
terest rates BUT BIGGER MORTGAGES.
Commenting your page in part: The Associated
Farmers of California; my information shows that
the Directors of this organization not farmers at all,
but Bank and Insurance Company agents who have fore
closed mortgages the Independent farmers and
insisting that their farm labor be reduced to
peasantry class Farmers do not lose their homes be-
thy do not create wealth BUT ONLY because they
cannot create wealth faster than POLITICIANS enact
laws and take from them and give to Bankers
and big business Not because of labor wages
"You quote the Dies Committee: | happen to know
that Rep Dies is elected from the poax south where
ten and onehalf million of voting cannot vote
he represent farmer labor the creators Of ALL
wealth. Is voting un-Americansm?
Quoting from your page The farm depression fore
the industrial depression by ten years Ever since
1929, the farmers of America have lost thirty bill
lions of dollars Who received the thirty-nine billions
of dollars the farmers lost? Not Labor! The Bankers
and Big Business and they still have it. Why then should
thinking farmers fight Labor?
Personally, cannot where the farmer can help
himself by beating down the wages of those who buy
what he produces and visa consider your letter
and page evasive of all the FUNDAMENTAL facts I
