A Real Labor Day Meeting (Continued from page 9) pression has been cultivated, and we have taken the administration at its word—that the price of FLOUR was going to be reduced, not by asking the miller to reduce it, but by the iron hand of the government—the gsame hand that cut down the prices of our WHEAT. I have a telegram here. .A telegram of August 28, That is just a few days ago—after the price had been fixed for wheat. This telegram is sent'to a man by the name of A. Lorenz, secretary of the mill workers in Minneapolis, and here is the way it reads. This is some document: : “Mr. A. Lorenz: There is no inten- tion of fixing the price of FLOUR as we feel that this will be adjusted by COMPETITIVE OPERATION. HERBERT HOOVER.” (Laughter and applause). THE “FEED” WHEAT NINTEEN SIXTEEN Now don’'t let anybody lead you to believe that this is a fake telegram, be- cause I would be in the Federal peni- tentiary pretty shortly if it was. That is a telegram from Hoover AFTER the price of wheat has been fixed, saying that the price of FLOUR will be left to COMPETITIVE OPER- ATION! Well, let us study this a minute: Last year we sold our wheat in North Dakota for less than a doliar a bushel; because they said it was “FEED D” wheat, and wasn't any good for anything but chicken feed. But little old Professor Ladd up there, has shown us that they make better flour out of this “FEED D” wheat, than they do out of No. 1 hard. We sold it for less than a dollar a bushel. It takes 4% bushels to make a barrel of flour. That is less than $5.00 to the barrel—less than $4.00, after taking out the value of the bran and shorts, is what the millers paid for the wheat to make a barrel. And they have been selling it for several months past at from $14 to $19 a barrel! And that price has been fixed by “COMPETITIVE OPERATION!"” (Ap- plause). And now the -administration—the food gambler Barnes at the head of that committee—Barnes, the biggest dealer in grain in this country, says that we are to fix the price of flour by this same kind of “COMPETITIVE OPERATION.” PRICES TO FARMERS SHOULD BE ADJUSTED The same kind of “OPERATIONS” that have been fixing the price for everything that you have been buying! I say to you that it is the duty of every farmer in the Northwest states, to do what he can to be present, or send a delegation, to that monster convention at St. Paul, where we will say to the food gamblers— “If you are going to fix the price of our wheat arbitrarily, we want to fix the price of the things we have got to buy to raise wheat artibrarily.” (Applause and cheers). ‘We demand in the name of common justice, that we shall not pay 13 cents a pound for rice, that they used to give us at three cents. a pound; that we shall not pay 650 to 75 per cent more for the steel that goes into our farm machinery; that we shall not pay twice as much for twine—that we shall not pay 50 to 150 per cent more for.every- thing we have to use to raise that wheat. We are satisfied with the price ryou fixed, provided you will ge down the line that way and fix it for everybody else! (Applause). And provided further, that the work- ers in the cities, who have been PROMISED A 5-CENT LOATF of bread, shall GET that loaf at 5 cents if it is possible. (Applause). \ RANDALL SPEAKS: TO THE FARMERS There was more of the speech that can not be quoted for lack of space— a demand that since the government had taken away the farmers’ profits on wheat, the government should go ahead and take away some of the war profits that had been made by steel and munition manufacturers. For nearly two hours Mr. Townley talked, and the big crowd stayed for every word of it. They stayed after he got through, because then N. S. Randall, who had been in charge of organization in the gection = around Alexandria, made a crackerjack organization talk to the farmers. And even after Randall got through, and the meeting was declared finished, the crowd stayed, to hear a | PAGE SIXTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS HoreSHERMAN p==ST.
