time of the deflation policy of
the Federal Reserve Board
quite a number of small banks j
in North Dakota failed, due to
inability of farmers to make
good on their loans. The bank
failures in Oklahoma, however,
do not appear to be due to
loans made to fanners, but ap-
pear to be due largely to all
kinds of lease and oil specula-
tions, involving even our high-
est state officials and the very
persons whose duty it was to
examine the banks and safe-
guard the depositors from
these very manipulations.

Banks and merchants go as
long as they can, and when
they can go no longer, they
suspend business in some way,
take the bankruptcy law, and
then make another start.
No disgrace or dishonor at-
taches to such a proceeding.
It is freely admitted that tens
of thousands of fanners are
bankrupt due to the deflation
of their farm products, and yet
it is a rare occurrence when a
farmer takes advantage of the
bankruptcy law, claims his ex-
emptions. gets rid of his debts,
and makes a new start. No

Hatched at Kansas City
Meeting.
KANSAS CITY. March 8. .Throw-
ing out as c. sop to the public, a
premised reduction ln coal prices,
coal operators of half a dozen states
were declared today to have decided
to try to slash miners' wages ln
half, and wreck tho union by abol-
ishing the check-off system.
A two days' secret meeting of the
operators preceded the Information
of what they contemplated.
He-establishment of the 1917 wage
scale is to be sought.
The states which would be af-
fected are Oklahomn, Kansas. Mis-
souri, Iowa, Arkansas and part* of
Wyoming.
Meanwhile efforts of the govern-
ment to avert a nation-wide strike
of miners, are apparently meeting
with failure pccorriing to reports
from Washington, ihe operators re-
fusing to take notice or *l e imita-
tion to a conference.
Operators here Mere declared to
believe that thc.v would have a les6
serious task in imposing the 60 per
cent slash, now that John L. Lewis,
president of the U. M. W. of A., has
ousted Alexander Howat, fighting
president of the Kansas miners.

unless the farmer can be as-
sured of securing at least the
cost of production for his prod-
ucts, there is no doubt that
more and more the farmer will
be forced to take the advantage
of squaring his debts through
bankruptcy proceedings.
How easy it is for a private
monopoly to make money is
well illustrated by the report
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, the hold-
ing to the sentiment expressed by
leading bankers. The best that they
say for the able bodied war vet-
eran is that in some future time
when the government is able to pay
them a ca6h bonus it might be con-
sidered.

Ameringer had coucluded their ad-
dresses. But they wouldn't stay to
hear him. So he thought of a better
plan. As soon as Howat had fin-
ished, when the chairman was just
ready to introduce Ameringer, Ferns
came forward.
There were cries of "sit down."
But the chairman recognized him
and inquired for what purpose he
arose. "To answer charges made
nguinst good union men by Howat."
"Who are they?"
"John L. Lewis and Bill Dal-
rymple."
But the crowd didn't want to hear
the defenses. Jess Patty arose to
say that all members of the district
board had been Invited to come to
the meeting and defend themselves.
If they weren't here, he didn't see
why a national organizer should
make the defense.

Then came a motion that "we do
not hear Ferns," which was prompt-
ly seconded. He said, "I beg and
plead with you to hear me," but
when the vote was taken not one
single man voted to give him the
floor.

Cost $10 a Week.
That the low wageB paid by the F.
W. Wool worth Company to its sales-
girls may be one of the reasons for
the Immense success of that corpor-
ation during the year 1921, may be
seen when the general balance sheet
and statement of the year is seen.
Most of the girls in the local
branch of the Woolworth company,
which conducts a string of five and
ten cent stores, reccive ?9 a week,
investigation of the Leader shows.
Girls who do not live in Oklahoma
City, and who are self-supporting,
are given preference and better
wages, and they are started at $9.
The highest wage paid was found to
be $15, this being the case of a girl
who has been in the employ of the
company for several years.
report from unofficial sources
that another store similar to the
Woolworth stores has discharged
girls at the first of the year who
were receiving in excess of J7 per
week, and employing girls who would
work for this wage, could not be
confirmed.
The Woolworth company paid a
preferred dividend of more than 20
per cent, as compared with nearly
14 per cent in 1920.
These wages paid in Oklahoma
City correspond to the wages paid in
other cities, and are somewha'
lower than in Kansas where a mini-
mum wage law is contemplated.

"Ever since my election by the
working people of Sulphur," tho
mayor declared, "attempts have been
made to discredit me and this is but
one of them.
"I incurred the enmity of the
chamber of commerce element when
I refused to turn over the city gov-
ernment to them recently by allow-
ing a committee from the chamber
of commerce a right to sit In the
council and have equal vote with the
elected officers.
"When I refused to knuckle under
they waited for the first chance.
"When the Sulphur Bank of Com-
merce failed and it was found that
certain city funds were on deposit
there they brought these charges
against me. They also chrega that
banks and their deposit in the Bank
of Commerce.
"I will be cleared," the mayor de-
clared.
The county attorney has brought
the charges against Riley saying
that he aided Charles Bryan, presi-
dent of the hank, in his transac-
tions with the city bonds. Bryan
has committed sulcldo.
Riley said that the reports of
"death threats" against bis oppo-
nents in tho case were unfounded
and that they were merely more
evidenco of the desire of the "white
collar bunch" to stir up sentiment
against him.
The stories carried by tile capi-
talist press tell of "unconfirmed
rumors" that a pitched battle is im-
minent between the "overall brig-
ade" supporting the mayor, and the
"white collar crowd," who are
pushing the prosecution.
"I have been told that the official
who was responsible for this change
in accounts tried to resign when the
Bank of Commerce failed, but that
he was told to "stand pat," said the
mayor.
