FARM PRICES FAIL TO REACH LIVING COSTS President Sounds Note of Regret in Letter of Felicitation to Meyer. WASHINGTON. Maroh a—Millions of dollars loaned by the Government to hard pressed farmers are bringing about noticeable relief In the agricultural Industries, President Harding disclosed In a letter to Eugene Meyer. Director of the War Finance Corporation today. The President urged Director Meyer to extend his financial relations with cooperative marketing organizations. President Harding pointed out regretfully that the lo*tv farm prices have uot been reflected in a lowered cost of living and asserted restoration of general business stability can not come ••without the establishment of an equi'able relativity between the producer s selling price and the cost to the consumer.” Information given the President by Meyer shows that to the end of February the War Finance Corporation had advanced $37,300,000 to assist the export of farm products. Application of loans from banks caterinng to farmers aggregate $178,500,000 and applications fi,r loans from cooperative marketing organizations ?.>s.roo.ooo. ••We are making splendid progress toward disposition of our agriculture difficulties" the President said lu his letter. The President's letter follows In part: "1 have read with much interest and gratification your letter with the operations of the War Finance Corporation. Your summary of improvement In the agricultural rrlce situation is especially impressive in view of the short period In which it has taken place. You tell me that, by reason of the farmers receiving much better prices orderly liquidation is in progress throughout the country resuiting in considerabo repayment to the corporation and I assume in even much larger volume, to the banks.”
ATTAINS HEIGHTS IN MOTOR WORLD Harry Cunningham Has Played Big Parts. ‘Despite the lminort"' feat3 of Capt. Eddie Rlckeubacker and the production miracles wo.ked by Walter E. Flanders and notwithstanding the remarkable career of Barney Everett —the automotive life of Harry CuniHnykam, although seldom advertised, is in many ways the most colorful in the Riekenbacker group," says a statement of the Itickenbacker Motor Company today. “At 12 years of ago he apprenticed In a machine shop. Two years later he started as a tool maker at a time when a yearly production of twenfy-tive cars was a big volume. He gave Barney Oldfield his first lesson in driving an automobile. I.ater Oldfield and Cunningham became the professional auto racing team in America. “When the Winton company had reached the then remarkable total of seventeen cars In the State of Michigan. Cunningham was sent to Detroit to do some expert service work. He did such good work that he collected SOO in tips from Winton owners and has j been a citizen of Detroit ever since. “He knew Henry Ford and gained his friendship at a time when the great manufacturer was totally unknown. At times Ford asked Him to assist In getting repair work for his little shop. Later he joined Ford and due to his ability and service was soon appointed manager of the Detroit branch. In 1906 he took some Fords to Europe. Since then many thousands have been shipped but the honor of delivering the first Ford car to the continent of Europe goes to Harry Cunningham. "In 1910 he organized the Cunningham Auto Company distributing the E. M. F. throughout Michigan. For ten yenrs this organization thrived, subsequently repreaentlng Studebaker ami Maxwell. “During this period he was closely allied with Walter E. Flanders under whom he served as consulting engineer for the Maxwell Motor Company. And so It can be said that Harry Cunningham is one of the few men in the industry of Motor. Cars who has attained a conspicuous place both as a great manufacturer and a successful distributor In the fleM. w USE SLOAN’S TO' WARD OFF PAIN | LITTLE aches grow into big pains unless warded off by an application of Sloan's.

New, according to a telegram he has sent to Arthur G. Gresham of Indianapolis, State adjutant of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Senator New says he favors the sales tax. but that inasmuch as it is Impossible to adopt this feature, he has been cooperating with officials and ex-service men to get something else.” His telegram follows: “In reply to your telegram concerning my position on the adjusted compensation for soldiers 1 may say my position on that subject has never changed. I said originally that I would favor a practical measure. I still say so and shall exert every effort to get a bill that will lie practical and at the same time satisfactory to ex-service men. I believe we shall be able to get such a bill. We must in some way provide a practical method for raising the money to pay the cash botrus and for this I have favored a sales tax, but It having proved to be impossible to adopt this feature I have been cooperating with officials of ex-service organizations to get something else. I believe we ll get It. To'this I would add that my position has been entirely satisfactory to ail the ex-service organization officials with whom I have been cooperating.”

EASTERN ROADS LAUNCH FIGHT ON ‘HIGH’ WAGE Offer Statistics to Prove Pay of Shopmen Is Unreasonable. CHICAGO, March B.—Eastern railroads toduy took up the attack on the wages of their shopmen before the United States railway labor board. John G. Walber, appearing as spokesman for the Eastern roads, placed in evidence a vast quantity of statistical data which he supplemented with oral arguments. Western railroads presented their case as the first move in the mass play the railroads are making to bring down the wages of certain classes of their employes. The roads apparently are depending upon a vast mass of statistics to support their contention wages of railroad employes are higher than those paid workers in other Industries. Practically every State in the Union has been subjected to an industrial survey In the assembling of the wage data. The same \ method of procedure Is to be followed by the railroads when the cost-of-living phase of the Inquiry is brought up. It is evident the roads rely on cold figures to overcome the arguments of the men for maintenance of existing wage scales. Dissatisfaction with the method of procedure adopted by the labor board Is apparent, both the roads and the labor men contending It is cumbersome. This procedure requires evidence must be presented for each class of work which the rail men and the union leaders contend might be presented for all classes at once. Charges of favoritism and discrimination will be the strongest factor of the union's defense, according to present indications.
