Good Farmer But Not Big
Crop Manufacturer
He Doesn't Even Know
Meaning OF Depression
ONCE upon a tine a farm was

the production OF those COM
modities necessary 10 sustain lie.
After the family needs were sup
piled. the surplus vas sold or
traded for those commodities
which he farm did not produce
but which were necessary or de-
sirsble But nothing vas sold
until there was enough food put
by TO serve the family until the
next harvest The farmer OF that
era was independent He was
considered the most favored Of
men. He did not need the as
sistance Of the government 10
maintain cost OF production. All
he asked was a good piece Of
land and reasonable break
with the weather. Give him that
and ne asked no odds Of any
body.
Albert Jay Mock writes about
that sort Of farming in the cur
rent issue Of Hsrpers magazine.
In Lancaster county. Pa. he dis
covered several hundred farmers
who do not know that the coun-
try has been ten years trying
to break the worlds worst de-
preston. They do not know any,

These queer people they
seem queer when measured by

nation-belong to the House OF
Amish. They are, says Mr..
Mock, a split-off from the Men
nonltes, q religious body formed
at Zurich in the sixteenth CEN
century. About 1900 OF the de-
scendants of this sect have set

OF the families have been there
since 1920. cultivsting strip Of
rich farm land along the Con-
estega.
The Amishman, Mr.. Mock dis
covered, IL farmer, not a
manufacturer, like the large
scale-single-crop producers. Nor
Is he a political farmer whose
SORROWS are the constant care Of
the United States department of
agriculture. He asks no favors
from anybody.
His produce goes first TO feed
his family and his livestock. II
any be left over he takes it to
the public market at Lancaster,
said to be one Of the finest in
the country, particularly from
the standpoint Of quality Of
produce.
Speaking commercially. says
Mr.. Mock. the Amishman :
market trade is a side issue. He
Is not truck gardener. All he
gets out OF the market is loose
change.
All that he sells is what he
has left after the needs of his
family have been supplied
after he has put down a great
store of beef products. pork
products, vegetables and cereals
and fruit, all of his own raising.

out what causes war, and then
remove the cause, not the effect.
Wars have been caused by the
men. by the stupidity and lust
for power. Now II is time for
the women to call a halt. II the
women the world over, especially
the mothers. would band to-
gether and demand to be heard
and outlaw war and decree that
their sons should not 20 10 war.
that would be the greatest pow
er in the world to stop this wick
ed, useless slaughter.
Women have always brought
about the great social reforms.
and when they wake up TO their
duty IL would mean the end of
Hitlerism. Fascism. Communism.
and new deslism. and there
would would be government of

women can win when the men
failed. and I don't mean BY sp-
peasement either.

Ford. JAW Statements

these discharges with the men
involved and the Ford Organic
ing Committee that the workers
in various departments ceased
their operations.
"They ceased operations only
after they attempted To call the
offices of the Ford Organizing
Committee 60 seek our advice
and were denied the use of tele-
phones by management repre-
sentatiVes.
Despite the arrogant attitude
of the company, the UAW-CIO
offered TO make every effort To
have the men renew work If
the company would OpsAi dis
cussion of the discharge.
This the company refused to
do. Instead IL summoned the
Dearborn police department into
the plant. This was another
prOvocatiOn TO violence. a trap
into which the Ford workers
refused To fall.
ION instructions from myself,
the workers i'm the steel mill
continued to tap the furnaces
all through the day and evening,
thus preventing damage to
costly property.
This was done despite the
company's refusal to cooperate
and its refusal 10 display any
interest whether the steel was
poured or not.
AT 6 o'clock. company
spokesman agreed 10 meet with
representatives of the JAW
Go aud asked them To- proceed

They did this but were refused
admission to the plant.
Meanwhile, our organization
communicated with the state
mediation board and with Mr..
James Dewey, federal labor
- coRetllateEr--A4 2 informed them
that we desired only to confer
with the company in an effort
20 discuss the discharges and
TO adjust the dispute on basis
which would permit the resump-
ton of work.
Prom these facts il must be
clear that the entire RESPONSE
bility for the present critical
situation rests on the shoulders
of the Ford Motor Company"

MS statements
THE cessation of operations in major
departments of the Ford Rouge plant resulted
from a continuous and deliberate effort of
the Ford Motor Company to bring about a
show down with the UAW-CIO before the
issue could be decided by peaceful election
by the National Labor Relations Board
"The officers of the UAW-CIO and the
entire stan of the Ford Organizing Committee
have been making every effort and are still
making every effort, to maintain operations
at the Rouge plant until NLRB election
decides our right to speak for the Ford
workers and pave the way for negotiations
around the conference table.
Harry II. Bennett and minor executives
of the Ford Motor Company, with the
apparent approval of Henry and Edsel Ford,
have on the contrary sought by legal and
Illegal means to prevent such peaceful
settlement of our differences.
THE sequence of events today bears eat
these statements.
This afternoon the Ford Motor Company
decided to scrap the temporary grievance ma
chineTy which has functioned for weeks in
cooperation with the state labor Cancellation
board, named by Governor Van Wagner.
'The company singled out the chosen
spokesman of the Rouge Notwithstanding
Thomas Gaddes. chairman of the Il building;
James Sullivan, chairman of the pressed steel
building; Ray PiOn, chairman of the rubber
building, and Andrew Dewar chairman of the
rolling mill-and discharged them.
THE deliberate provocaton of this step
can only he understood when it is explained
that these men have been acting with recogni-
ton of the company the spokesman of the
men in their respective plants.
''The first discharge occurred al 2 p. m.
and was followed by the others. II was only
after the company refused even to discuss

For the Company
Communists promoted the Ford
Motor Company strike, company
spokesman asserted. The company
statement follotUS:'

"These men have illegally taken over our
plant, barricaded the doors, cut of the power
and are under the leadership of an l. w. W.
agent
I'VE will not, under any consideration,
mediate with them or any one else until our
plant is evacuated
"This trouble started after we had put
eight men back TO work on suggestions of
United States Labor COnciliatOr James Dewey.
"These men Immediately began trying TO
organize other workers whom they abused and
cursed because they not in sympathy
with the unionists.
THE mayor of Dearborn has been asked
70 insist to the governor that the state police
enforce the law by evacuatng the plant.
''It is the acts of these un-American, com
munistic Iawbreakers which are seriously
hampering our efforts TO aid the government
IN national defense program assignments"
A statement by |. A. Capizzi, Ford
attorney, said:
- misguided minority have barricaded
themselves in the Ford plant and won't let
any one ont or in.
at is obvious that the majority of men
held in the plant by this minority are not in
favor of such procedure.
at is just another proof of statements
we have made repeatedly that the clio is out
10 wreck the defense program and seize the
Ford Motor Company.
THE Communists working with the
Go and vice versa. The two of them are
out to wreck the defense program and since
Ford is able to do something for the defense
program, they trying to wreck the Ford
Motor Company.
This indicates the sign of weakness on
the part of the Go and indicates they realize
they can't win by lawful means and must
resort TO unlawful acts to satisfy their evil
designs"
