the Pederal Department of Com
megnee tofix prices on farm products
bae Jerl 40 a storm of protest in the |,
Semmxte and a cablegram of protest
is befng sent President Wilson, tel- |
egramsfrom Washington announced
Frifay Bem B. Jackson, of Atlanta,
ditrector of the State bureau of
markets, is the man who discowvered
tbe plan of Scceretary Redfield and
carried the news to A big gathering |
of farmers.
The price fixing. plan had been
worked out by the Department nfi
Commerce, and included a rflmmls»‘
shon wihdeh would set prices on farm
pmoducts. The idea was to bring the
cost of raav materials down to a pre
war basis. Secretary Redfield was
wafting for official approval from
President Wilson, the plan havingl
been cabled Him in France.
In the meantime, 1. B. Jackson
had gone to Washington to attend a
conference of the National Board nf'
Farm Organizations. He heard nf‘
the price-fixing sché€me and made a]
personal visit to the Commerce De- |
partment, where he confirmed the
repewts, Returning to the mm.fa-r-“
ence, which was presided over h_\l
Charles S. Barrett, head of the |
Farmers’ J'nion, he laid the facts |
before the members, and a storm!|
broke out at once. -
Goes to Senators. i
The conference appointed 4 com- |
mittee to investigate fuarther and
Jackson took his news ™M members
of the Senate who represent big
farming States A .cablegram; signed
by Senators Hoke Smith, . D. Smith
Shepherd Ransdell Borah, Curtis
Gore, Gronna, l.enroot and LaFol
lette was sent to President Wilson
It read as follows
“It has been called to Qur aften
tion that Secretar Redfield has es
tablished a plan to stabilize prices
including farm products thre 58
peace industrie board Th m'er
signed member of the Senate,
speaking for themselves and the
farmers of their States, desire to reg
ister a decided protest We are anx
jous to be heard on this matter hefore |
ft rectves any sort of official san
tion.” |
Oppose Price Pian, |
In a letter addressed to Secretary
Redfield, Mr. Jackson and a com- |
mittee of four from the farm organ
Y |
Izations board said in part |
“The stabilization of . prices of
?{lfl‘n products dauring the wap, If‘
admitted to be a militar necessity, |
wag done without the advice and
consent of the American farmers
The operation of this system has not |
been satisfactory during time of
war Is was acauiesced in as a
pé triotic duty during a national
emergency We are unqualifiedly
opposed to protection of these mil
taristic policies into times of peace
We do not donlit that the farmers
will be the first and the worst vie
tiias of such a policy We fear this |
artificial fixation «f prices 1t will if
necessary be attended with ir mw,\'.“
if not with disastrous results.’
The letter concludes with the
statement that the organized farmers
Will - continue their onposition to
the Redfield plan “by all proper and
lawful' means at she disposal of |
liw-abiding and patriotic citizens, |
It is the belief of Senator who |
swned the cablegram, as well 48 (101
representatives of farmers, that theip |
protests will be sufficient to \-.ujn‘
President Wilson to withhold his
corsent to the Redfield plan until |
after he returns home and makes an |
investigation, E
