our community by paying living wages
and are friendly to our movement.

Trusts Not Farmers

time they are being gypped by the big
dairy corporations which fix the prices
they receive for milk. Wholesale
prices of dairy products went up about
As per zen in the past year. But the
retail prices paid by city families in
creased about 81 per cent.
This gouging by the dairy trust
shows up in its profit figures. Sixteen
dairy products corporations according
TO the National City Bank of New
York increased their profits after tax
es by GS per cent in 1916 compared
with 1915. Profits rose from $50 mil
lion to sos million.
But farmers as a whole receive
only 80 per cent Of the consumers re-
tail food dollar. The remaining 80
per cen is grabbed by the dairy, meat
and other food trusts. They, and not
the farmers, are responsible for the
drop in the consumption CT vital foods
1t is important thai workers not be
misled by the NAM b~allyhoo about
farmers. Just as farmers must learn
that the inilationaiy prices they pay

are due. not to labor costs. but TO the
profiteering drive OF biz business.

useless. which amounts to the same
thing. Their professed friendliness To
unions is bunk.
Rut union labor does not propose
to die. and has NJ intention of liqul-
dating. Union labor here in America
has fought for a hundred years to lift
the standard of life Of the men and
women who do the nations work. and
has raised that standard to the highest
level on earth. though it is still far
short of perfection.
And in so doing. union labor. and
nobody else. has compelled an eXpan-
sion of our industrial machine to the
point where it is the marvel of all
profitable to the owners too.
The accomplishment is the more re-
markable because it was made despite
the determined opposition of the cap
tains Of industry and their political
allies. In other words, union labor has
saved capitalism for the capitalists
here in America after it has fought a
losing battle in almost every other
nation on earth.
The shooting war" which these eco
monte royalists are carrying on
against union labor thus reveals on
their part a colossal measure of Gu
pidity and stupidity. for. if they just
keep on trying, they will sink the boat
theirs as well as ours.
Just what provisions the final bill
in congress will contain is not sure at
the moment. The house has passed
a very drastic measure by a vote of
about three to one. The senate this
week is considering a bill somewhat
milder which was recommended by a
committee. However, Senator Taft of
Ohio. chairman of the committee. does
not like the bill in its present form
and is working now to put more sting
ers in it-that is, make it more anti
union, like the house measure.

We want equality Of the bargaining

unjust advantages. We want to re-
store and guarantee free collective

to eliminate government from indus

government control and, in addition,
brings court injunctions back into the

~StreamIine Pig Will Yield
More Of Higher.Prieed Cuts

PORTLAND, ORE.-A new figure
is being developed-long and svelte
with hardly any fat and it will make
your mouth water, according to the
department of agriculture.
The new shape won't get any bill
ing in Hollywood, but the hog of the
future will provide nor roast loin
pork and better bacon, animal hus-
bandry experts say on the basis of
research being conducted by the
department at Beltsville, Md.
The new pig shape is being de-
veloped from the Landrace hog of
Denmark. Breeders say they are
succeeding in eliminating two short
comings of the breed-its tendency
to be too lean and the fact its skin
is too white and tender.
A greater proportion of the i'm
proved Landrace pigs weight is de-
posted in the high-priced cuts-the
ham, loin, bacon and shoulder butt,
the department says.
