the annual convention today of the As
sociation of National Railway and Util

the efforts of railroad operators and
employes, with llir as:iistanc of the

Mr. Aitchlson declared the general1

the rail and water transportation sys-1
tcmc of the United States came to a
complete cessation of functioning In
the industrial heart ol the country, the
result of the strikes, beginning in
April, and which continued in dimln-,
IshlnK force until mid-Mimmcr.
"The present financial situation,"
Mr. Aitchlson asserted, "coupled with
h. apparent downward trend of con
struction costs, makes It seem prudent
not to engage upon any undue or!
avoidable construction problem until

Upbra:ds Labor for Asking for

BOSTON, Nov. 10. The establish
ment of a nation-wide selling organi
sation which shall f x the price of
.farm products, if the farmer docs not
receive "the same :'' for the same
hours' work thut others receive," was
1 predicted today by Sherman J Lowell,

. V are willing to have a fair un

'"There is no threat in this ; we will
hne be, n driven to li in self-defense j
to presere our agriculture."
Mr T.nwell railaic rl that labor lias.
been able to secure a much higher
wage, but added:
Wc little expected that they would
turn and demand cheaper food from
us without first ascertaining the cost
of production, a'id thereby proving
whether or not we were taking too
large a margin of profit."
The master declared that the great
changes that have taken place since
the beginning of the war have been to,
the . disadvantage of agriculture ;lni I
many laws and rulings of our national
government have proven of injur to
the farmers.
RL lJtE FOR OND1TION
"We have searched faithfully to I
find one law or ruling tolour advant
age and have tailed to find it. We have
uiged for a fair show, but all our et
foils have met with a like fate."
Mr. Lowell said the recent census
showed .1 new decrease of 10o,00o
farms in seven states, anil he charged
that the attitude of the men In legist j
lative halls and departments of gov-
eminent, was responsible to a large fl . I
gree for this condition,
"So long as we remain passive this
state of affairs will continue." he dc-!
Clared
Concerning taxation, he said
of wealth pays ItS Just proportion of
taxation and I hut Is when every form
of wealth pays it Just proportion of
taxes There is no tax more just than
an Income tax, for It Is never a charge
against any one who has not tn
means to pay."
SINGLE TAX PPt KD
He spoke against the slnglctax and
the idea of placing a government
land tax of one per cent on the land
in place of taxing large incomes. Both
would be disastrous to agriculture,"
he said.
"Another equally erroneous Idea,"1
he continued, "in the one of a heavy
tax on all unimproved land holdings
for If I his State was done and they
were forced on the market Uv rea
son of such a lax (which is the in
tent i It would cause the depreciation
of farm lands GO per cent from the
fact thut there Is more Improi'i d land
