George C. Jewett, general manager
of tho Northewest Wheat Growers'
Association, Issued the Invitation to
other wheat-marketing organiza-
tion* Inmndiat -ly after the Portland
meeting. Tho Washington, Oregon. JERRY ON THE JOB — Every Little Bit Helps.
Idaho and Montana associations will < " 1
be requested by their members on
the board of trustees of the selling
organization to send two representa-
tives each to Denver, and in the in-
vitation* issued to societies In the
middlowost and southwest are open
to all members of the board of di-
rectors of each organization.
Included In the organizations to
which invitations were sent by Mr.
Jewett are tho U. S. Grain Growerg,
Inc., tho National Wheat Growers as-
sociation with headquarters In Kan-
sau. and the Kansas, Oklahoma. Ne-
braska and Texas state wheat mar-
keting associations.
The date for the conference, as
tentatively tlxed by the board of trus-
tees of the Northwest Wheat Grow-
ers association, will be between Feb-
ruary 27 and March 1. Denver was
selected as being the most accessi-
ble city for representatives of all or-
ganizations.
"Some aort of an understanding
for mutual operation Is becoming
more eusential every day," Is the way
Mr. Jewett discusses tho undertak-
ing. "Here we have nearly a dozen
associations for co-operative market-
ing of wheat, tapping practically the
entire nation, with as yet no attempt
of co-ordinated activity. While the
Denver conference may result in no
additional organization, nor In any
amalgamation. It should at least de-*
velop a common program for all of
the marketing bodies.
"Again, the co-operative organiza-
tions will have a chance to pool their
activities In such endeavors as those
of establishing broader European
connections, securing statistical In-
formation from various parts of tho
world, and planning export opera-
tions for the 1922 crop.'
The board of trustees of the Pa-
cific states' selling organization at its
meeting this week also reviewed the
operations during tho month, and ar-
ranged the program for the remain-
der of February. Present were the
following: Walter J. Robinson, Roy

York last week from China and
about double that, number are duo
this week.
"It takes the Chinese eggs flvo
weeks to get here, three weeks on
tho water, and two weeks from Van-
couver by rail," said Herschel H.
Jones, director of tho New York of-
fice of the state department of farms
and markets. "They are fresh gath-
ered at the point of shipment in
than domestic eggs and weigh 4 to C
pounds less per case.
"The Chinese eggs are sold chiefly
to cheaper class retail stores and to
bakeries. They do not compete di-
rectly with fancy fresh eggs from
nearby sections, but come in about
the same class as average cold stor-
age eggs. Egg producers In this
country are much opposed to those
importations of eggs from China and
havo long been advocating a higher
protective tariff on them on the
ground that labor conditions and

none of them aro guilty of any crime
in expressing their views in war

Future Wars.

LABOR'S POLICT.
Editor Leader: Mr. Brisbane wisely
suggests that labor should do "some
thinking." This subject is so discourag-
ing that it is a wonder any writer says
a peep about it or any paper will print it.
For a generation or more organized
labor has not made a move along cor-
rect economic lines. The leaders seoni
to convene a Pan-Pacific congress j 10 be entirely ignorant of the most
of delegates from labor organiza- simple economic principles. At a time
tions throughout the world with a wben tho farmers are being forced off
view to arriving at a common under- j,h® *ntot P^tt8ttnlry andM
standing to prevent wars between ■""" jflfi "
nations.
The following motion was carried:
"Wo do not believe that the Wash-
ington conference is likely to evolve
any scheme of value for the preven-
tion of any future wars. Further,
we believe that the best way to pre-
vent wars will be for the Australian
workers to arrive at a common un-
derstanding with labor organisations
In other countries. Therefore we are
of tho opinion that an endeavor
should at once be made to bring
about a Pan-Pacific conference as
early as practicable." -*
It was also decided that another
meeting of the Australian Trade
Union Congress should be. held in
June next, and that in the meantime
the council of action should push
forward with the industrial organi-
zation and the extension of the labor
research and Information bureau.
It was further decided to call the
big unions of Austrialia together to
advance the one big unton movement.
These unions met early in 1921 and
decided to take ballots of all mem-
bers on the question of joining the
one big union. The ballots are now

CENSORS AT LYNN, BAR
FILMS OF WOMEN NAMED
when monopoly is grasping all the nat-
ural resources; when greal combines
are closing down industry and creating
a permanent labor surplus of five or six
million, roaming the country seeking em-
ployment—all that the union leaders can
tell the members is: 'Stand by the union
and strike, strike, strike."
No one would dream of discarding the
strike as a weapon, but unless labor
learns to unite some economic principles
with it, union labor is whipped to a
frazzle right now.
All that labor and the farmers can
see is: L<et us curtail crops, and gel
higher prices; let us strike (curtail labor)
and get higher wages." All right; the
employer, landlord and speculator don't
care; you aren't hurting them. Curtail-
ing crops hurts the worker, going on
strike hurts the farmer, and in each case
they hurt themselves.
When the farmer insists on having the
right to use the land for the worker's
benefit, and the worker insists
and place in the hands of a oommlssiou
consisting of actual railroad men, farm-
ers and practical business men like Ford.
Tax idle lands and large holdings, until
the owners are obliged to let go anil
the tenants can take possession. Make
possession and use the title to agricul-
tural land. When factories and mines
close down, make the owners and their
property responsible for the cost of un-
employment, jUBt as they and their prop-
erty are now responsible for wages
earned.
If tho workers are entitled to wages
for their labor they are also entitle-l
to the "right to work," and earn thoso
wages. The time will come when It will
be considered just as wrong to deprhts
men of work, as to deprive them of the
wages earned by their work. Why not?
Use the strong arm of the law on this,
and if public ownership is brought on,
let it come.
But all this seems useless. The war
cry is: "Get higher wages and higher
prices;" when you know perfectly well
that if you get more you will only pa.\
more, and more, and MORE.
On the other hand, when you are out
of employment, and wages are cut, do
you pay any lees?

Ii's Good News
"It's good news that I have for ye tonight," he finally
said, in a rich, deep voice somewhat reminiscent of his
Scotch heritage, helping himself and then passing the
dish across the table.
"And have things gone unusually well today, father?"
his understanding mate asked.
"Indeed they have. I have at last persuaded Peter
to adopt my plans for the new outlay for the shop. He
sees the advantage now and I look for great progress."
"The good Lord be praised for that," the mother
exclaimed. "I knew all a'ong your hard work wouldn't
go for naught. Do you hear, Johnnie, boy? Mr. Fan-
ning has decided to adopt your father's plans and en-
large the shop."
The boy looked thoughtfully into the cup of tea his
mother handed him, but made no response.
"Yes," the elated father went on, ignoring John's
silence, "and with this change, mind ye, the shop will be
in a position to compete with anyone, eastern manufac-
turers and all. I really do believe it will make Peter a
rich man."
"What do you get out of it. dad ?" the boy suddenly
asked, looking intently at his father.
"Me?" The old Scotchman wrinkled his brow, and
ran his hand through his gray locks in an effort to find
the answer. The question visibly disconcerted him.
