FARM LABOR STRIKE IN CHILE BEGINNING

OF NEW RELATIONSHIP

FLIGHT IN PLANE RESTORES SPEECH

(Br Associated Prual : - I ' SANTIAGO, Chile, April 5;The first ' Tairta f laborers' strike "in. Chile '.tm called" ..recently by eeveral hun-.-drod . . workra on the . 20,000-acre . es--tat-Af tr" English woman near here. "While the-'actuaf movement 'was cpnYtJaed .to'one farmland Involved a rel

atively small number of men, It at

tracted "widespread Interest and has

been pointed out as marking the be-i ginning of a new era in the existing relations bet eeh the land proprietor and the- Chilean agricultural laborer. ' The. immediate cause of the trouble, it is said, was the refusal of the laborers to continue working until sunset during the harvest, according to long - established custom in this country. The provincial governor investigated the strike and announced '"there had been". a current: of propaganda passing between the Chilean federation of labor and workers on various farms in the department." workers also demanded increased wages, dismissal of the overseer and the right to organize. The latter, was granted and the , dispute finally - was settled after President Alessandrl had admonished the, men to return to the fields. ;. 18 Cents Per Day .Wie "lnqulllno" system prevails on most of the large estates which form a characteristic feature of the farming : region of central Chile. Under the' system the worker is given possession of a plot of land for purposes of, cultivation, a house and rights of paSturage. On the estate where the strike took place, the daily wages were 80 centavos (about 18 cents at normal exchange). ?The South Pacific Mail, discussing the strike, says "relations between the employer and employe on the farms hitherto have been somewhat patriarchal. The patron has been the ultimate court of appeal and. it might be said, absolute master of the liberties, if not the lives, of the peasantry who

are linked to these estates by the "inquilino" system. On the great JracJehas (farms) the laborers and thwjr families have remained for many years in a virtual state of feudal serv itwde. It is not surprising, therefore, that at the present day, when the selfconsciousness of the worker all over the world has awakened, that thf Chilean peon should seek some amelioration of his often hard lot." The owner of the estate where the laborers went on strike said the walkout was the direct result of action of "subversive elements." She declared she had provided her employei with sood homes, schools and medical attendance.

be Induced to accept th senatorial nomination even in the face of admittedly strong Republican opposition. "The court bouse cannot possess the attraction for him It did before he had tasted of the pleasures of national life and office." the Star comments. "He has been for more than a decade away from his profession, and younger men are in the lead there now. So why not another try at politics. The adjuration follows: Keep your eye on Marshall. The question of broadening the field of activities for the vice-president of the United States is to be considered in the proposed re-organization, of the federal establishment. To enlarge the work and the dlrnitv of the second

most important public eftice in the

republic it is understood tne aammiutratinn favnm the followlnr Dlan:

First, to have the vice-president act as a general consulter, sitting with

the cabinet on questions of aaminis tmtive oolicv.

Second, to have the vice-president

act as an informal counselor, assisting the president in political appointments

and to represent him on certain occasions. Third, to have the vice-president act as an aid to the president in securing cordial and co-operative relations between the executive and legislative branches of the government In putting through legislative programs. Washington correspondents have made the pleasing discovery that. President Harding has "news sense." Only a newspaper man can appreciate what that means. When the corresponlents met with the President reoentiv he incidentally referred them

to the head of one of the departments for some information, "and It's a pretty good story," he added. It was more than that, it was a rattling good story. Washington correspondents of the present generation can recall only one other president who had "news sense," Theodore Roosevelt.

Another Youngest Veteran Discovered in Kansas (By Associated Press) FORT SCOTT, Kan.. April 6. Fort Scott's claim to the youngest veteran of the World war is disputed. Herman Lange, of this city, who was but 14 when he enlisted, held this record, it was believed. But a letter from Mrs. Joe Walter, of Garrett, Ind.. to a local newspaper states that her son, Leo L. Madden, enlisted and went overseas at the age of 13 with the Rainbow division and was at the

front 18 months with the 150th Field artillery. He sailed for France Aug. 17, 1917. O and he was not -14 years old until Oct. 10 of that year, according to bis mother. After coming home young Leo re-enlisted and was sent to Camp Grant. 111., where he is stationed wUh the 62nd Infantry.

GASOLINE is the major product made by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and in the manufacture of this most essential product of petroleum, this Company stands in the lead. But gasoline is only one of the many products sent to the world with the unqualified guarantee of this organization; for as a manufacturer of lubricants it stands among the leaders. No service performed by this Company is more important, more essential or more farreaching than the work it is doing to keep the machinery of the world running smoothly and efficiently. Of the many lubricating oils and greases sent out under its name, none is more widely known or more universally accepted, than those bearing the Polarine brands. Polarine is a perfect motor oil. It was first introduced to the motoring world in 1908 when 1100 gallons were sold. Year by year the demand has increased until fa 1920, 23,979,050 gallons were manufactured and sold to the car owners in the Middle West. When first introduced there was but one grade of Polarine oil. Now there are four, each designed to meet the need of certain types of engines. The development of four grades of oil, one of which will correctly lubricate any type or make of internal combustion engine, is but one of the essential services performed by the research department of this Company. But lubricating motor vehicles is but a small tem when the lubricating service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is considered. Every type of machinery has been studied and an oil or grease perfectly adapted to keep the bearings running smooth and cool has been produced. From the 'flying spindles of the loom to the ponderous bearings of the steel roller, each problem presented has been met squarely, fairly and with a deep understanding that to meet its needs was not only good business, but was essential if the Company was to live up to the ideals of service, to which it is committed. While lubricating the wheels of the world is highly essential, it is but one of the many branches of service which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is organized to perform. In every department of its complex and highly specialized business, the same ideals of thoroughness, integrity and efficiency are insisted upon. The underlying principal in all is to give a maximum of service at a minimum of expense. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave, Chicago, Illinois
