CONFERENCE IS OPENED
Lower Transportation Cost Key to
Agricultural Revival, Assert
National Delegates.
"WASHINGTON, April JO. Delegates
t the National Farmers' union, ac
onmpanied by congressmen, will call
on President Harding tomorrow to
urge an Immediate reduction In
freight rates. Leaders tonight Indi
cated that the president would be
eked to call a conference of labor,
capital, representatives of the basic
industries, the railroad labor board
and the interstate commerce commis
sion.
The engagement was arranged to
day after the farmers had held
informal conference with the inter
state commerce commission. This
conference was described by dele
gates as unsatisfactory. The com
mission, it was said, indicated that
several weeks would be necessary to
put into effect any reduction, but
suggested that the farmers meet with
representatives of labor, steel and
the basic industries to decide on some
programme for reducing operating
expenses of the railroads so neces
sary to the reduction of rates.
The farmers declared they would
toll the president that a reduction in
rates would start a revival in agri
culture, manufacturing and other in
4 ue tries.
Farmers Opes Conference.
Farmers from various sections of
the country affiliated with the Xa
Cional Farmers' union gathered here
today for a three days' conference to
discuss various problems affecting
liieir welfare. The meeting was
called by Charles S. Barrett, presi
dent of the union.
In opening the conference Mr. Bar
frett urged the creation of a joint, con
gressional committee to inquire into
snd suggest remedial measures for
the agricultural situation.
"Money and credit have been denied
formers despite the fact that more
money was available in 1920 than in
any previous year," Mr. Barrett said,
sdding:
"It is a notorious fact also that
agricultural organizations have not
ceen afforded by the transportation
eystema of the country the facilities
given corporations to distribute the
products of the farm."
Redaction Ose Factor.
Mr. Barrett urged immediate enact
ment of "co-operative enabling laws"
In a 'generous spirit and without
nullifying . reservations." Unable to
market their own products, the
farmers, spokesmen said before the
commission, are virtually on a buyers'
strike.
i Commissioner McChord asked Na
tional Secretary Davis of the union
whether with cheap freight rates
farmers could market their- products
at a profit.
, "Possibly not," Mr. Davis replied,
"but a freight rate reduction would
be one factor and it would be foolish
to reject any plan that, would re
duce the farmers' loss simply because
it does not solve their whole problem."

May 1 Date? Set for Action Unless
Wages and Working Conditions
Remain as at Present.
SPOKANE. Wash., April 20. (Spe
cial.) Job printers ana bakers of
Spokane were ready to go out on
strike on May 1, if necessary, to gain
wages, hours and conditions provided
for in working contracts indorsed for
1921, according to statements made by
Fred Barker, president of the typo
graphical union, and Glen Warren,
secretary of the bakers' union.
The employers were equally deter
mined that the demands made by the
unions shall not be granted. With the
date of expiration of the present con
tracts but ten days off, no sign of an
adjustment or agreement has been
reached.
"The bakers are determined not to
accept any reduction in wages," said
Secretary Warren of the bakers'
union. "The master- bakers have
asked that the wages be reduced SI
a day on May 1. The bakers feel that
there has been no reduction in the
cost of living, when everything is
considered. We find reductions on
foodstuffs and clothing are nearly
eaten up by the Increases In rents and
extra charges on public utility service."
KLAMATH HEARING IS SET
Courthouse- Case to Be Argued Be!
PROBE BY tXXJfGRESS ASKED
Facts on "What's Wrong With Ag
rlcnltnre" Wanted.
WASHINGTON. D. C, April 20.
Congress was urged in a resolution
adopted today by the national farm
ers' union to appoint a joint commis
sion to determine "what is wrong
with agriculture" and to enact legis
lation to "correct the established
evils."
"The farmers have -been branded
ss profiteers," said the resolution.
"and have been accused of taking
or threatening to take measures
which would result in a dangerously
diminished quantity of available pro
ducts, adding that the country was
entitled to know the facts and that
congress was the only agency
quipped to '"ascertain the truth."
On the other hand, it charged that
farmers have been discriminated
gainst in credit and transportation
and that they had been forced to
Mil their products below the cost of
production while residents of the cit
ies had been compelled to pay "for
their food five or six times the
Amount the producers obtained."
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
tirged that the farm organizations
take constructive steps to build up
an organization adequately to protect
snd promote agriculture.
Resolutions were adopted for the
appointment of committees to report
on the losses of the farmers and the
amount of credit extended in com
parison with other Industries and also
on the "unfair practices and discrim
ination against co-operative con
cerns.'" Members of the farmers' union were
said by Mr. Reed, their secretary, to
have J30.000.000 invested in co-operative
organizations which did a turn
over in business volume last year of
more than $600,000,000.
"When you see boards of trade and
chambers of commerce patting any
farm organization on the back," he
continued, "it's not worth a cuss to
the farmers," adding that "we have
blood in our eyes for that crowd."

preme court in the mandamus pro
ceedings filed by J. M. Dougan of
Portland to enforce, payment of ap
proximately $20,000 alleged to be due

Klamath county..
The Klamath county treasurer is
named as defendant in the action.
Two courthouses wete erected there,
but after years of litigation the su
preme court legalized the so-called

$100,000. Mr. Dougan -asserts that
$20,000 remains unpaid.

due Mr. Dougan, but that- the treas
urer refused to honor them.

6000 TO PAYP0LL TAX
Fudging by Women in Giving Age
Causes Some of Them Trouble.
VANCOUVER. Wash., April 20.
(Special.) In Clarke county are 6000
persons who are eligible to pay the
poll tax, according to J. G. Eddings,
county assessor.
The poll tax -is bringing to light
many amusing incidents. One at
tractive matron gave her. age to the
city clerk when she registered to vote
at 42. That was before the poll tax
law went into effect. As a matter of
fact, she is 50 years old, and would
not have to pay the poll tax had she
registered her age truthfully. Now
she will have to go along for eight
years and pay $5 a year poll tax.

possible action.
White Race Held Menaced. -
V. S. McClatchy of Sacramento, rep
resenting the Japanese Exclusion
league of California, declared that un
less the Japanese were excluded they
ultimately would swamp the white
races.
Within the last three months, Mr.
McClatchy said, several states had
shown a desire to co-operate with
California in enacting anti-alien land
bills similiar to that recently passed
in California.
In Oregon and Idaho, he added, land
bills had been proposed in the legisla
tures, but action on them had been
postponed indefinitely because of tel
egrams from Washington saying that
such action by the states would, em
barrass the federal government.
McClatchy declared Japanese had
established a birth rate per thousand
three times as great as that of the
whites and that if further immigra
tion were not prohibited in 100 years
there would be more Japanese than
whites in California.
Rich Lands Under Control.
"The Japanese today control one
eighth of all the rich irrigated lands
of California," Mr. McClatchy said.
"They will not and cannot make
American citlzeifS."
Under the so-called gentlemen's
agreement, Mr. McClatchy added,
"there has been no suspension or re
striction of immigration."
"We have done the extraordinary
thing," he continued, "of passing to
Japan one of our sovereign rights of
determining who and how many may
come in The agreement should be
abrogated. Why should we longer
surrender a supreme prerogative of
this character which is to our mani
fest detriment and ultimately will be
our undoing?"
In the- house today Representative
Raker, democrat, California, pro
posed an amendment to the constitu
tion providing that no child "here
after born In the United States of
foreign parentage shall be eligible to
citizenship in the United States un
less both parents are eligible to Be

NAVY ACCEPTS SITE TITLE
Early Survey for Base at Tongue
Point Indicated.
ASTORIA, Or., April 20. (Special.)
That the navy department has
formally accepted the title to the
naval base site at Tongue Point is
shown by . the fact that the deed,
whereby the county transfers the
site to the government, was fried for
record in the county clerk's office
this morning. The ereed reserves a
right of way 50 feet in width along
the shore line of the property for
