In order that the public may have some real facts to form their judg ment upou, I wish to state the situa tion as it exists locally arul I may add. i3 a good example of, what the situation is at other points on the Burlington system. During the month of July approx imately 420 hop workers employed in the shops at Plattsmouth, went out .on strike in protest against rules and conditions that were being im posed upon them, that if accepted by the men without protest, would have eventually placed them into bondage. In the six months that the strike has been in progress, there have been some great sacrifices made by the strikers and their families and es pecially do I wish to pay tribute to the women folk who have been com pelled to bear the heavy end of the burden by sacrificing and economiz ing so the little ones would not suf fer. But nothing worth while is ever gained without some sacrifice. And as there is very little of this world's goods that a working man can leave his children as a heritage, it is his parental duty to leave them the best possible working conditions, in which to battle for a livelihood. Therefore, if our principle was right the first day of July, it is right the first day of January and if neces sary will be right the first day ofj July, 1923 Of the 420 men who struck in July over ninety per cent are still out and I feel confident that the ma jority ivill stay out until a just set tlement is arrived at. One thing is worthy of note, that of the twenty- five persons who have deserted the strikers' ranks since the first day of July, at least fifty per cent of them were financially fixed that they could have remained idle indefinitely which plainly shows that some people's principles, ideals and manhood are based on the Almighty Dollar, and they? are to be pitied, as they are missing one of the greatest blessings ever, bestowed on man that of clear conscience. And now in order to set some rcai "dope" on the strike, we would sug gest that you ask the farmer who has been trying to ship hi3 grain. Ask the stockraiser who, is ship ping cattle.-' ' Ask the traveling salesman who is compelled to wait from thirty min utes to a couple of hours and over for late trains, and he will probably tell you that General Sherman was right, only that he should have in cluded "Strikes" in his famous re mark. No, folks, the strike is not over. Judge for yourself! JAMES PTACEK, Chairman Strike Crafts. atives jjiid l'ri nils the past two days, returning yesterday to their home. Charles A.

The directory is now in the hands of the printer and will be ready for distribution within the next week or ten days according to information just given out by Leo Stuhr, secretary of agriculture. This directory is the first of its kind to be issued in Nebraska and is intended to furnish information which will enable breeders and buy ers to get in close touch with one an other and will facilitate the distri bution of pure bred live stock gener ally within the state. The issuance of the directory was prompted by demand on the part of the breed ers of the state for a source of in formation as complete and accurate as could he secured. An enort was made to include every breeder with in the -state, but in some cases the desired information was refused. while a few other breeders' names will fail to appear through over sight during the work of compiling. For these reasons the directory will not measure up to the point of abso lute accuracy. Contains 3,G06 Names A total of 3.G06 names of breed ers in all parts of the state is listed n the directory.

SEES $2 WHEAT IF CREDITS SET UP Expert Says Only Inability of Europe to Buy is Holding Back the Country's Prosperity. Chicago, Dec. 28. Wheat prices barometer of prosperity for the American farmer, are going up. Not giddily, but slowly, steadily, Trusf , FROM FLATTSHOOTH TO DAILY TRIPS Also all kinds of hauling, including Either by Weight or Tripv Phone 394 or 60S rv? rmTTrnw Proprietor ff KM US ! Today , December wheat, selling above $1.23, is hovering near the j high point of the season, having j gained thirty cents since the middle ' of September. May and July wheat, J likewise, are meeting excellent de mand. The new year, grain leaders pre dict, will see even better prices and the inevitable "come back" of the farmer. John P. Griflin, former president of the Chicago Board of Trade and an authority on grain, informed Inter national News Service that only fail ure to establish proper credits abroad is preventing a substantial advance in the market. Europe needs are wheat," he said. But Europe cannot buy. Our poten tial customers are bankrupt. "Crops in this country and Canada this year have been bountiful. We have produced a surplus. Europe's crop is sub-normal. The big thing needed is the prompt establishment of credit abroad so the American farmer can dispose of his wheat to all hi3 customers. "Russia, which in pre-war days ex ported an average of 600,000,000 bushels ot wheat a year, is now out of -the race. She can't take care of tiie European demand. If proper credits were established abroad so that Europe could buy from the United States, I would not be sur prised to $2 wheat." B. A. Eckhart, head of one of the larpeat milling concerns in the coun try, pointed to one reason for pre vailing good prices. In spite of the surplus of wheat produced by the United States and Canada there are no accumulations of winter and spring wheat. ' ; "I Believe," he said, '"that the? con sumptive, demand for wheat pr duced exceeds that of pre-war 'days."
