As a railroad worker, I have this to say, that if for no other reason I would vote for Senator Harding for president because of the Cummings-Esch act. I have paid more dues in labor organizations and I am now in good standing and always have been, than any man within the sound of my voice, employed upon our railroad. The bill does not penalize any employe as he or his organization elects to strive, but it does provide for an honest hear ing with honest representation from our ranks, and forces the railroads to produce at our hearings, all data In their possession which will enable our committee to get at the truth of labor controversies, which we have never been able to do before. All that labor has ever Insisted on was a fair deal and we were never able to receive that at the hands of the corporate interests until we were protected by the Cummings-Esch act. Opposes League. "Briefly, I want to state I am opposed to the league of nations. I believe the thousands of American soldiers who are in Germany have nc business there and they want to come home. I w-ould ask you what would happen in case they fire upon our boys who are now held within the sound of these deadly guns, where the rivers of Europe are running red with blood at this hour. I say to you, what would happen if they fire upon our boys. There is only one answer. We would again be engaged in deadly war. I say that every president from Washingtown down, both Democrats and Republicans, have urged the Ameiican people, and I have with me these records for your information, never to entangle ourselves with European policies. "Now, in conclusion, fellow work men, I am not here to tell you how to vote, but for God's sake Stop! Look! and Listen! We are on thin ice. Vote for Harding a man for the people, and by the people."

I look forward to such a cessation of wastes and extravagance in Washington as will allow us to cut down taxation, as for instance, the excess profits tax, without requiring any other tax demand on the people of this country. "I look forward to a working budget system to disclose the leaks and inefficiency. We need organization of departments to stop over-lapping of functions and the expenditure of useless energies and funds. I have often said, and I say again, that we owe it to the people of the United States to put our postal department back upon a business basis to provide the most efficient business service.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

HUGE YIELD OF CORN SENDS DOWN PRICES ON CHICAGO MARKET (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept 25. Swiftness rarely equalled has shown Itself this week in the descent of prices for grain and provisions. Likelihood of a huge yield of corn, safe from frost, led the way and extensive slashing of merchandise values was also largely responsible. Compared with a week ago wheat this morning was down 16c to 22c, corn 34c to 12c, oats 5 to 5c to 6c, and provisions 82c to $1.60. All commodities dealt in on the board of trade, except wheat, began to fall in price when the prospect seemed clear that chances of calamity frost damage to corn had nearly vanished. ' Heavy Receipts Subsequently big receipts of wheat at Winnipeg gave a severe setback to wheat values, but the effect was quickly offset through immense export buying of wheat Price-cutting on automobiles and cotton and other articles failed later to disturb bulls in wheafuntil for the first time since 1917 corn tumbled in value to less than $1 a bushel on 'change here. Then agitation against high cost of food counted hard to shake the confidence of holders of wheat, and so, too, did European selling of wheat here and shrinkage in demand for flour. Excited shorts in corn ran up the price of September delivery about 14c a bushel one day, but fear of a squeeze was quickly ended by large receipts. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. Good business for the rest of this year, despite disturbing factors in the commercial, industrial and agricultural outlook, is predicted in a report made public today by the committee on statistics and standards of the chamber of commerce of the United States. The report, which deals with conditions as concerned this month, describes buying as of liberal volume but on a sane and sober basis of needs, as contrasted to the speculative purchasing of previous months. Despite good crops, the committee declares, the farmers' horizon is not without its cloud, describing the car shortage evil a far-reaching with the result that the elevators are full of grain and unable to get cars. HELP EARLHAM Chairman Mills, of the Earlham college endowment fund drive, asks for the fullest co-operation of persons asked to solicit in the campaign next week. Help the work. Be a booster by joining a team. Farm Federation CHICAGO. Sept. 24. The American Farm Bureau Federation in a statement last night summarizing its investigation into business, industrial and agricultural conditions, declared that America "is facing an agricultural economic condition which, if not intelligently dealt with will lead to consequences so grave as to affect all industry to the point of imperiling the social order." The statement says farmers must, be given immediate help in transportation, finance and labor, and recommends the following as remedial efforts which would go a long way toward solving agricultural difficulties: Preferential treatment in transportation to all farm produce held for shipments and to all goods consigned to farmers which are necessary to conduct the business of farming. More profits for farmers, better distribution systems which would tend to eliminate middle men and stabilized prices. Ample finance with rural banks assuming the obligation of financing the farmer with long and priority credits. Protection from "wildcat" investments, which were said to be taking millions of dollars from farms annually. Equalization of agricultural and industrial labor wages, which the statement declares can be accomplished only by lowering industrial wages or increasing farm wages. Encouragement of immigration. Need More Capital than Credit. "We have tried to rehabilitate our country by every method except through sweat of our brow," the statement says. "Many industries have been stimulated to the point that they are topheavy. Liberal credit has had the effect of inflating values. Abnormal credit extensions granted manufacturers of luxuries and non-essentials have been largely expended in driving up wages and the cost of living, while the producers of essentials have been overlooked. We need more capital ratjier than more credit." Concerning transportation, the statement says, "it will be months and even years before our transportation systems can be restored to their normal efficiency," and that preference must be granted agricultural produce immediately so as to move this year's crops. Concerning profits, the statement adds that more profits for the farmer would not necessarily mean higher cost to the consumer. The statement closes with a plea that the farm and farm life be adver tised to overcome the tendency of iarm ooys to flock to the cities. Farmers Holding Wheat Questionnaires Show (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 25. Replies to questionnaires sent to two hundred grain elevator companies in middle western states indicate that farmers are holding wheat for higher prices, according to a statement today from the farmers' national Grain Dealers' Association. These replies showed the statement said, that wheat shipments this year were much lower than last and that elevators which normally were filled to capacity, were only about one-fourth full. The statement further said farmers were holding their grain "because they cannot make a fair profit at present prices." The sweet potato is In no way allied to the potato.

IND., SATURDAY, SEPT. 25, 1920.

The Farm By WILLIAM Elevator men are now able to sell you a bushel of oats for less money than they are paying for a dozen of eggs. Don't want any oats? Very well, but a great many folks are figur ing that eggs are too dear and oats now too cheap. - Silo filling has begun up around Fountain City, where they have been rather backward, most of the corn being too green to put away. Arthur Collins says that he filled his silo on Wednesday and that their "ring" will be busy for the next few days. Silo filling is mostly done on a co-operative basis. Farmers making a circuit with teams, etc., until all their silos are packed to the roofs. A lot of shredders will be at work later, for farmers are more and more realizing the benefit of shredding their fodder. A lot of hogs are soon to get what's coming to them in the shape of new crop corn, stock and all, which they will proceed to get fat on by "hogging down," a great labor-saving operation for the farmer. Western New Corn Prices. Corn in all western markets is ranging at the lowest figures since June. 1917, that is to say all new crop futures have dropped below a dollar, while cash corn ranges well above thut price. With Chicago September corn at $1.27, Kansas City dropped down to $1.10 for that option and to 93 cents for December and May deliveries this week. Cash corn has been selling et $1.10 in Omaha for No. 1 yellow during last three days. This indicates that the new crop is still "coming," all over the belt. Following the Waterloo on Thursday came a still lower dip on Friday, when September corn struck $1.23; December, 97, and May corn 9S for low. December wheat, which struck $2.37 for high on Thursday, reached a low of $2.25 cn Friday. The speculators have been playing ball with grain, of late. Corn Still Green. The condition of corn depends largely on the amount of summer rain. According to Ben Richards of the Glen Kara elevator, corn has had all the rain needed up his way, and a lot of It is still pretty green. This has delayed silo filling and but few farmers have tackled that job so far. He says they are cleaning a lot of seed wheat, but that very little grain is coming in. the slump in price not being to the liking of those who have wheat stored. He was paying $2.40 for wheat at the fin t of the week and has been buying oats at 53 cents. Oats are on a 50 cert basis at many country elevators now. Wheat Sells at $2.35. Wheat has been bringing almost fle times the price of oats at Williamsburg during the week, the former selling at $2.35 and oats at 50 cents, of late. Mr. Rossa says they have no hard coal on hand and there Is no certainty when they will get any. He has been selling Kentucky coal at $12.r,0 per ton. George Davis, who filled bis silo on Thursday, was among the first to complete this job around Williamsburg. Monday, Sept. 27 J. C.

WALL STREET THINKS CUTS WILL ASSUME WIDE PROPORTIONS NEW YORK, Sept 23. Indications of a general reduction of commodity prices precipitated a sharp reaction among industrial shares on the stock exchange this week. The setback was especially noteworthy because of the relative strength of low priced rails. Wall street believes that the new price slashing movement is likely to assume much wider dimensions than the campaign of last spring, which was limited largely to retailers. To the more recent price revision were added several dividend reductions or absolute suspensions for example that of the Central Leather company. Surveys of the steel and copper trades were of a less hopeful character, opinion apparently inclining to an early decrease of production in both industries with inevitable reduction of prevailing price schedules. Buying of the cheaper rails was accompanied by circumstantial reports of prospective mergers or consolidations. These received scant credence in well informed quarters, where the movement was mainly attributed to speculative interests.
