FARMERS ON OWN FEET
Growers Manifest Willing
ness tn continue Devel
opment of Industry
At a conference yesterday be
tween farmer:; who have contract-
it! with the state to produce flax
for this yoar'a crop to be handled
by the Hate, plant at the peniteti
t ary, the state officials, including
Governor Olnott, Warden Comp
lon oi the prinon and othera. the
farmers were informed that for
them to now flax thin season will
be entirtly upon their own renpon
Hibility with the understanding
that they will receivo their pay
whenever the money is available
from the state.
Mor Thm Half Sown
Of the moro than 700 acres
contracted about 4t0 acres has
been sown. Notwithstand.ng the
lack of funds in the flax industry
with which to pay the farmers
when this season's crop is harvest
ed, most of the farmers who at
tended the conference yesterday
ndicated they would go ahead
with the sowing of their crops.
Two causes have contributed to
the lack of funds. One is the
slump in the flax market since
the contracts were made and: the
other was the shutting down of
the pr.'son plant while the new
flume was under construction.
making it impossible to work up
the 19 20 crop for the market.
The flax Industry has been
placed entirely under the super.
vision of the prison warden. The
services of a superintendent will
be continued but he will be under
the direction of the warden.
At the conference yesterday
Governor Olcott lead the follow-
ng statement to the growers:
Liquid Assets Larking
"The flax industry is on a basis
upon which no private business
could mrvive. There Js no appro
priation giving it liqn'd assets
through which the handling of the
crop may be financed. While it
has assets in the way of plant and
Hxtrue, it cannot hypothecate
these as securities to obtain mon
ey to float its current business.
While it has officers, they have
no authority or legal status giv
ing them power to contract indeb
tedness to meet obligations on its
flax contracts. We have power to
enter into these flax contracts but
no way in which to pay the farmer
save through work rag np the un
finished product into the finished
product. Obviously that takes
time. "I D the meantime the far.
mer must wait for bis money. I
wish to be perfectly frank with
you and make plain by cold, hard
facts the situation which con
fronts all of us. We wish to see
this industry succeed ttnd so do
yon. We are held down by limi
tations not imposed upon a pri
vate business We must face the
facts as we find them and meet
and overcome the difficulties the
best we may.
Co-operation Fledged
"We wish your co-operation
and we will give you ours. Every
effort will be made to pa? you
dollar for dollar for your flax as
soon as it can be done. How soon
that will be I cannot say, but it
Drill be as quickly as possible.
"The flax industry has been un
fortunate in that when the mar
ket price was at its' peak through
war and other conditions we had
little flax to sell because the im
mediate preceding years had been
marked by small crops. Had it
been otherwise there would un-
doubtedly have been a better fi
nancial situation for us today.

SANTIAGO, CHILE, April 7.
(By The Associated Press) The
tiret farm laborers' strike in Chile
was called recently by several hun
dred workers on the 20.000-acre
estate of an English woman near
here. While the actual movement
was confined to one farm and
involved a relatively small num
ber of men, ft attracted -widespread
interest and has been
pointed out as marking the be
ginning of a new era in the ex
isting relations between the land
proprietor 'and the Chilean agri
cultural laborer.
The immediate cause of the
trouble it is said, was the refu
sal of the laborers to continue
working until sunset during har
vest, according to long established
custom in this country. The pro
vincial governor investigated the
3trike and jt-nnounced "there had
seen a current oi propaganda
passing between the Chilean fed
eration of labor and workers on
various farms in the department."
The workers also demanded in
creased wages, dismissal of the
overseer and the right to organ
ize. The latter was granted .and
the dispute finally was settled
after President Alessandri had
admonished the men to return to
the fields.
The "Inquilino" system prevails
on most of the large estates which
form a characteristic feature of
the farming region of central
Chile. Under the system th
worker is given possession of a
plot of land for purposes of cul
tivation, a house and rights of
pasturage. On the estate where
the strike took place, the daily
wages wer 80 centavos (about 18
cents at normal exchange).
The South Pacific Mail, discus
sing the strike, says "relations be
tween the employer and employe
on the farms hitherto has been
somewhat patriachal. The patron
has been the ultimate court of
appeal and. it might be said, ab
solute master of the liberties, if
not the lives of the peasantry who
are linked to these estates by the
"inquilino" system. On the great
haciendas (farms) the laborers
and their families have remained
for many years in a virtual state
of feudal servitude. It is not sur
prising, therefore, that at the
present day, when the self-consciousness
of the worker all over
the world has awakened, that the
Chilean peon should seek some
amelioration of his often hard
lot."
The owner of the estate where
the laborers went on strike said
the walkout wan the direct re
sult of action of "subversive el
ements." She declared she had
provided her employes with good
homes, schools and medical attendance.
