Central Garage Phone 200-J Fred J. Smith, Prop. Johnsburg OUT Washington - Letter |y§ --By-- National Editorial Association Washington, Feb. 13--With reversals on Capitol Hill sapping his influence with the Congress the question Arises "Is Roosevelt slipping'" The inquiries emanate in all political camps. A, strictly non-partisan answer tinged with cynicism going the rounds is to the effect "How can he lose popularity with the masses when more than eighteen million persons •re on relief rolls?" The rank and file of legislators are privately opposed to the enormous public works fund of nearly five billions, but they will vote it out within a few days. The motivating influence may be found in the last report of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration showing "the total number of perspns receiving relief during September (18,402,- 000) exceeds the total of any month since July 9133." No politician in his right mind will fight against the implications of these startling figures. Obviously, the recipients of relief are grateful to the master hand feeding them -- Mr. Roosevelt; The average family received $24.06 per month with wide variations reported in states from $42.36 in New York to $7.38 per family in Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and North Carolina. The action of the Senate Appropriations Committee in yielding to demands of organized labor for the payment of prevailing wages on Federal jobs' is not causing much concern for, agricultural and industrial groups will unite with the White Hoiise in blocking the proposal. If the government paid the same wages as private employers there would be a wild scramble for appointments to Federal, relief projects as government jobs are recognized as "soft snaps." . This situation would create chaos for few would work on farms or in factories with Uncle Sam beckoning with easy berths and no hard taskmasters. The cheering tyhich greeted organized labor's threat to establish a third political party in retaliation for rebuffs at the hands of the Administration has cooled the ardor of these crusaders. The applause came from democrats and Republicans' -alike which made labor chieftains worry about the success of their little stratagem. Even hints at affiliation with Progressives and other offshoots of the two major parties are not met with encouragement. The Republicans have never been considered, friendly to labor groups as their leadership is recruited from big business. The Democrats efforts to play with unionists gained little for the party. Recently the American Federation of Labor denounced the President and the New Deal plans because the White House refused to be dominated. The liberal element, friendly to labor, are worried as the hostile tactics of union leaders is driving Mr. Roosevelt into the camp of the conservatives. This turn is reassuring to business and alarming to those sympathetic to the trade unoins. A legal action in District courts here shows a split in the American Federation ranks which may bring new leadership into the picture. There is something about a reward that stirs the righteousness in many people. The government has found that the police in various communities show keen interest when the palm is greased by Federal gold. The rewards paid by the Post Office Department for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those who rob the maita and commit other offenses against the postal service average , $57,000 annually. Officials claim they have more correspondency with Congressmen about payments of rewards than with any other group. The claimants are not paid until three months have elapsed from the date of conviction. The record discloses that 330 claims based on 282 convictions were paid during the last year. The resolution sponsored by Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, formerly" First Assistant Postmaster-General, to put all postmaster appointments under a Civil Service status is giving a laugh to the law-makers. It • is an old story of the party in power (endeavoring to perpetuate their partisans in office. It is not exclusively j • Democratic idea because a similar j measure was introduced by Republij cans during the Coolidge regime, j Divorce these political plums from politics and many parties would have 'difficulty keeping their followers in j line. The O'Mahoney measure is con- , sidered an idealistic gesture and nothing more. Believe it or not, the government has discovered that prisons are providing training schools for counterfeiters. The chief of the Secret Service informed a Congressional committee recently that confessions of many younger criminals reveal they learned the fundamentals of their unlawful trade in jails while working in prison shops on metal products. The attractions of the Swret Service are working against other investigation units. The Commissioner of Narcotics complained to Congress that he experienced difficulty in recruiting suitable agents for his dangerous jobs because they preferred to seek a post with the noted Secret Service branch of the Treasury Department. The glamour of "special agent, U. S. Department of Justice" which has reached the headlines in the last two years has not the pulling power of the older and, more mysterious government work.

Now it certainly should take only 19 minutes, and very little ability, to convince an intelligent man, such as Secretary Wallace, that our condition requires a much greaterincrease in price. Mr. Geyer, why don't you admit to Secretary Wallace that you were, the loser in your early tift *ith him, and perhaps we will be relieved from paying the bill ? You should know, but assuming you don't, I will explain that at present _ feed prices it costs approximately Woodstock Friday. $1.60 for the feed to produce 100 j Mr. Ljbbie held a sale Fripounds of milk.

Fred Walker sold his household You are hired to represent the farmer, g^g Saturday afternoon and will Now regarding price---why headline $2.00 a hundred, or $2.20--whatever it happens to be? Why not headline that the blended price will be approximately $1.60 per hundred ? Why not give us the facts as they should be given? Why, not give the facts lo I the consuming public as, they shoula !be given? Why not©present facts to our meetings as they should be given? Please recall what Abraham Lincoln said about fooling the people Please itemize the expenditures of the check off as it should be, so that we can understand same. All amounts of $5.00 or over itemized as follow*-- amount, when paid, to whom, for what purpose. This would be very interesting to tjie members. Better prepare yourself, as this resolution may creep irfto the annual meeting. How about the advisory committee? Thosf of us who have studied co-operation, still want an explana« tion of what right you had to call off the last strike and then go to the advisory committee. ^Now," Mr. Geyer--the new milk ordinances of Chicago. I quote from the Pure Milk publication. "So the new ordinance will work a hardship only in some instances." You know very well that statement is misleading. You should know that with the present prices it will work hardship. Who is paying your salary ? Please do not try to befog the Situation. Please do hot always bring up an Edgewater or a Meadowmour. Please face the issue. The members of your association, who are paying you an excellent salary, need more monej/?or their milk. Or, as a last suggestion, may I offer that Mr. Geyer go back to farming, and llkr. Krahl go baek to preaching. ---Yours truly, v .-/'-A- • . A. C.
