The funniTH of Auu'ii«u iv<-eull>
faced a crisis, fr« in which tlu\v wi"'
delivered by |iroui|it icttou by ilu
l'reshl'iit of tlii' I iiited Suites - tin
threat of a iiallou-uhie railway strike
Tin- railway managers iiml the icprc
seutulive* of tbo -41111,111*1 employed In
Haiti ofvice were deadlocked ovci
. liours of labor mid wage schedules
President Wilson volunteered to net as
mediator, but had no povjer to force
arbitration. An impasse was r 'a<'lied
The llrotherhoods Issued a strike ol-
der effective on l.ubor Kay, Sept I
Tbe railroad initiingcineiits sbowed that
tliey recognized I lie imminence of the
strike. Embargo orders were Issued
on freight shipments. Supplies and
strike breakers were mobilized. 1 he
country walled, breathless, for the
storm to break. It was apparent that
neither Ride was bluffing.
The President saw n national enhini
ity Impending. He called leaders ot
his party into conference with liiui.
and with them wrote the bill present-
ed to coiinress with the special mes
sage of tile President next day.
Neither tho railroads nor the railway
Drotherhoo;!t were consulted. Neither
k Co knew what the bill contained,
neither made any demand 01 had the
slirhte-t influence in the framing of
the bill.
That portion of the Mil providing an
eight-hour day for employees engaged
in tiie operation of trains became a
law. it was accepted by the Urother
hoods, the strike order was cancelled ,
and the calamity was averted.
No clasa stood to lore so much from
the strike ai the farmer. A single week
of inactivity in freifjht nd express
service would have paralyze I his mar-
ket foi a month or more. Coming at
tho time of marketing of perishable
froducts, his loss from this source alonr
would have run into millions.
Stagrering Losses Avsrted.
It Is estimated by the railroad luun
agemeut that the increase In wage*
because of the eight hour day tli
amount to from OOO.OOn to $KKM>oo.
Olio a year. Allowing their highest fig-
ure, $100,000,000. tho farmers of the
United Stale3 would have lost more
than this in thirty days h.'d there not
been a man in the White House big
enough to protect the interest of the
whole pcop'o.
rive rents n bushel on wheat is ens\
picking for (he pit gamblers when they
can play the market at their own
i sweet will. It would have meant litt.x
ulliion dollars' loss to llie farmers on
t!:e billion lntshol crop.
,;;m:es K Arnisb.v. ore of the larges'
rhi'/ters of fruit in j'alit'o;nla. a lie
puh.ican. re.outlv said tlial il the
I,, l ike hail taken 'pla.e it would have
bankrupted many of the Iru.t growet>
of that Slate He sa>d t would have
caused a loos of not le;s than $23.000,■
C;a to the fruit industry of California
alcne. This amount is probably much
too low.
The peach crop now going to m„.-ke'.
with a value of about $55,000,000.
would have been practically a total
I- .s The $200,CC0COO apple crof) would
have been shrunk by half in valje.
The potato crop, of a value of about
$220,000,000, would have involved a fur-
ther loss cf at Jeast $S0 000,000. '1 he
cabbage farmer of Northern Ohio, the
grower of toumtoet* for tlie lannerx
and the celery grower of Michigan and
Florida would have kept mournful
company. Melons from Colorado, Call
fonda, Arizona and Delaware, grapes
from western New \ork and from \n
kinta and Wenatehee, prunes, pickles
poultry, butter and eggs silo 'Id have
gone down in the common cataclysm.
What would strike have meant to
tbe live stock market of the farmer?
And what would it have meant to the
consumer, with the cold storage faeiii
ties iu control of the packers' combine?
Would Hav, Paralyzed Industry.
The direct and Immediate loss w hich
the farmer would have sustained in
case of a strike Is but one phase of the
danger which threatened bis interests.
The depressing influence upon market
prices, resulting from Hie Inability or
consumers to buy because c*f lack of
m employment, would have been felt In
every Item of tills year s farm prod-
ucts. Tilke this single Instance: This
telegram, s^\it to President ^ ilsnn on
September J.l by Henry Ford, the
■world's greatest automobile mauufac
turer:—
The President—The moment It l
positively known that a strike will
9 become effective on the railroads,
the Ford Motor Company will of
nbsolute necessity shut down its
factory and all of its assembly
plants throughout the country, and
every man of Its more than 4fU*iO
workers wilMiave to g" off the pay
■nil.
I sincerely hope something can be
done to t.vert tbe strike, ^otir ef-
forts are appreciated and should
lie commended by ert>ry citizen lu
the country.

"Tariff? There's another proof of
Wilson's openness of mind. No niattei
what he thought about the I'nderwood
law. he had the courage lo admit thai
Ihe Europexn war had returned the
tariff to the province of discussion
So he came to the front with his prop-

not political nt nil. A tariff commis

"In my opinion, Mr. Hushes, if Pres

What tbe laborer didn't sc-c under
tbe Republican regime was that lli^h
i'aiilT does uut regulate wages, but
makes it possible for Ihe manufacturer
to so regulate prices that lie can con |
trol labor. The farmer, with his char
acterlstic self-reliance and naturally in j
dependent spirit, asked no favors. All j
he wanted was an e.pinl chance with
other business men Wilson saw tbe
farmers' Interests in a big way.

than a dozen big things this Ilemo
cratlc Congress did for agriculture. .

• farmers thai, any legislation enacted
since the creation of the Department j
of Agriculture a generation ago.
