WAR ON LABOR

CHICAGO (WDL)-The U. S. SUI
preme court has defeated S. L. Avery
anti-labor president of Montgomery
Ward, in his long effort to escape
compliance with orders of the War
Labor Board.
The high court upheld U. S. cir

suit against the WLB.
Since June, when the WLB ordered
the giant mail order octopus to con-
tinue terms and conditions of their
contract with the United Retail,

ployees of America, CLIO, the company
has refused to comply.
The detailed story of Avery's anti

Tense League, Ought to be required

LAND BOOM PERILED
RURAL AMERICA
By Claude r. Wickard
Secretary of Agriculture

History is threatening to repeat it.
self in the farm land market. An
other farm land boom, closely para
lleling the one that ended so disas-
trously after the last war, is building
up in this country Both the price
of farm land and the number of farm
sales in many areas have been rising
at about the same rate as in the last
war. If this trend continues, rural
America had better watch out.
One encouraging sign is. that actual
land prices haven't yet reached the
high level of 1890. But still we
can't say now how much higher these
prices are likely to go because, in
the world war / period the high point
until more than a year after the fight
ing stopped
1t would be sad indeed if the nation
should witness another siege of farm
land foreclosures, bankruptcies, and
forced sales such as hundreds of thou
sands of rural families experienced
after the bottom fell out of the land
boom that accompanied the World
war l period. For 10 hazardous years
after 1920, land prices were on the
downhill trail. And that statistical
fact doesn't begin to tell the full story
of human tragedy and misery. Be
cause when a wave of bankruptcies
hits community, everybody suffers
lender and borrower, business and
professional people alike.
1t will be particularly unfair for re-
turning veterans, who want to buy
land, if they have to compete in an
inflated land market. For Them or
farmers either for that matter, to go
heavily in debt on land prices bid up
far beyond longtime earning capacity
is an invitation to disaster
So my advice is-Don't buy land at
inflated prices. Put your wartime
income into sound investments, such
as war bonds, so that you can benefit
from that money in the years ahead.

A SUGGESTION

Poison, Mont, NOV. Il, 1919
Dear Cap:
| am reading with very much IN
terest, "TVA = Democracy On the
March" by David E. Lilienthal. This
book stirs your imagination and re-
wives ones hope that human welfare
may eventually become the motive OF
our national life. This book should
be read by every person who believes
that our natural resources belong to
all the people.
| have read with much interest the
many articles on the Missouri Valley
Authority by Jerre Locke. Just read
the last article in the Navomber IL,
Peoples Voice. Thanks Jerre for the
very interest and informative articles.
Keep in touch with this project Jerre,
because you and men like you will be
needed in its development.
In the last paragraph In Jerre's last
article, he says, quote: set up MVA
INFORMATION"- end quote. He
hits the bulls eye when he said that.
The powers that be in Montana will
have THEIR MVA INFORMATION
but it will be anti-MVA. This will
have to be counteracted by real and
honest information, so | am going to
suggest that, Agriculture, Labor and
Main Street (small business) get to-
gether and set up a committee to
gather and distribute MVA INFOR-
NATION. To get this going | sug-
gest that Don Chapman, H. S. Bruce
and J. B. Garrison meet in Helena
at once and start the above MVA IN
FORMATION and bring together
Agriculture Labor and Small Bust
ness in support of MVA. History re-
peating, Agriculture, Labor, Small
Business and Large Business as well
will need not only MVA but many
worth while projects. What do you
say Cap. Sure, knew you would say
that you would write Don and j. B.
and get this going.
Best regards to you and Mrs. Bruce
and Greetings to my many friends.

CIGARETTES TO GO
UNRATIONED

The shortage of cigarettes expert
enced throughout the country reflects
the bad distribution due to war time
conditions and the fact that the armed
forces are now smoking fourth of
the coutry's total production, but no
rationing of them is contemplated,
the Office of Price Administration
states. The War Food Administra-
ton reports that the number of cigar
cites being manufactured for civilian
and soldier consumption is the great
est in the history of the tobacco in
dustry. Only negligible amount of
tax-free cigarettes is sent abroad for
consumption other than by our armed
forces. Black market operations and
boarding are also believed to be fac
tors contributing to the spotty dis
tribution and civilian shortages.

urged to aid in promoting the

grams provided by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, in letters sent out
by Park Commissioner E. Brooke

it. The recreational opportunities
now are in operation in the subur-

are available for Rockville.
The commission, Col. Lee said,
plans to continue a recreational
program for the summer Of 1914, but
will operate smaller number of
