trust prosecution of the International
1 Harvester company was recommend
ed to congreft by the federal trade
commission..
The commission, in a special re
port to the senate in response to a
resolution ordering an inquiry, as'
serted that during 1916 to 1918 in
clusive, more than 200 concerns -manufacturing
farm implements had
combined to fix prices higher than
the increased cost of manufacture
and materials" and that the dealers
co-operating had made local agree
ments supporting the practices, a'.l
of which, the commission alleges to
be in restraint of trade. "
:,The International Harvester com
pany, said the report, "did not enter
(Be associati&n" activities relative to
price fixing on harvesting machinery,
but did so enter as to Other imple
ments produced." The trade organi
sations against which court proceed
ings were recommended are the Na
tional Implement and Vehicle asso
ciation, the "Southern Association of
Wagon Manufacturers. The Carri
age Builders National association
all organizations "of manufacturer.',
and the National Federation of Im
plement and Vehicles Dealers and
the Eastern Federation of Farm Im
plement Dealers, retailers associa
tion. :- ' . ' v -.

implement makers, partly as a result
of the alleged combination, had in
creased their net income for 1918,
JS2 per cent above the 19t4. mark

Speakers Urge1
Organization of
All Farm Bodies
The first time his. girl wife, Marie,
left him and was gone 10 days, Ar
thur Smith, 1813 Capitol avenue, did
not lose faith in womankind, but
welcomed her back with open arms
when she returned, although she con
fessed thzt she had answered a tele
phone call at David City, Neb., from
a man she had known in her home
town in Iowa.
Arthur asked no Questions and
their married life continued unin
terrupted until last Wednesday night
when he returned home and found
that his wife had left again.
He asked police to aid him in a
search for her. But Thursday she
returned home again and annuonced
she was going to levae for good
and that she "had come back mere
ly to get her clothes."
Take them and go, I have lost
confidence in you. On your way
andGcxl .bless you. I have-lost
faith in women, I'll pack my trunk
and lenve too," the young husband
said. Now he declares he will never
have faith in women again.
Plan to Fight Low Prices on
An Intensive Scale Is Pro-
'-. posed at International
1 Congress.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 10. Or
ganization of every agricultural
community in the nation on an "in
tensive scale to fight the farmers'
battles and to obtain "economic jus
tice" for the producers of foodstuffs
was urged by speakers at the inter
national farm congress.
Unity of expression for organiza
tion developed between leaders who
declared that no special privileges
was sought by farming interests.
Thev made it plain that such organi
zation had not been their creed and 1
was suggested now only as a meas
ure to gain relief from an, intoler
able economic situation, brought
about by low prices for farm
products.
Regardless of former title's, speak
ers urged organizations which would
have their roots in townships and ex
tend through counties and states to
the nation's capital.
, Dr. H. C. Taylor, director of farm
management and economies of the
Department of Agriculture, told the
congress that Secretary of Agricul
ture Meredith would welcome a
united voice on a definite aim of
agriculture. - '
Howard Leonard president of the
Illinois Agricultural association,
said farmers of Illinois now are pre
senting a solid front. He argued
that the farmer had a moral and
legal right to follow his products
farther toward the consumer, in out
lining co-operative marketing plans.
C. H. Gustafson of Lincoln,
president of the Nebraska Farmers
union, and a member of the national
committee to plan co-operative mar
keting, said the crying need of farm
ers was' for more united action
and profits on capital from 9 per
cent to 17.1 per cent, while dealers'
crices had increased 62.rfer cent. De-
tailss of the commission's, findings
were included in a 600-page report.
