Continued Strikes Raise Farmers' Ire LEADERS of farm organizations here in Washington are not a little disturbed by reports of threat ened farm strikes in Nebraska and Oklahoma, and the outspoken sen timents of farmers in other sections ' as a result of the unsettled condi tions in the labor-management field. While some farm leaders here declare that it is traditional that farmers and the rural population in the smaller towns are antagonistic to labor, the fact is that your Home Town Reporter finds a wide diver gence of opinion here among the leadership of the farm organizations. The consensus is that the threat ened strike of the ''vigilante'" group of farmers in Nebraska is confined to a small locale, and likely was "engendered by influences outside the state." Nevertheless, farmers everywhere are of the opinion that the continued lack of production due to the labor-management difficulties is working a hardship on the rural population in more ways than one. The difference of opinion lies in whether the blame should be on Management, Labor, or Govern ment. One leader here expressed the belief that at the present moment, the rank and file of the farm popu lation was more sympathetic to the laboring man than to business, with a general feeling of "a plague on both yonr booses." But the yardstick by which this sentiment, for or against Labor and ; Management, can best be measured, i in the opinion of this writer, is by ; the position taken by the three large I farm organizations with reference ' to the Case bill which passed the ! house by a' vote of 258 to 155 and I which is now in senate committee on education and labor, where it likely will stay. Grange Favors Case Bill The Farm Bureau federation, headed by its president, Edward A. O'Neal, took the lead in favoring passage of the bill, which even its proponents say is a "tough" bill on Labor. The Farm bureau was backed by the National Grange and a statement from the latter organ ization declared: "The National Grange considers the Case bill a sound measure de serving the full support of all fair minded people. We believe the bill offers a practical approach for pro tecting the public interest without penalizing either labor or industry or in any way interfering with the orderly settlement of industrial dis putes." But the National Farmers Union bitterly opposes the Case bill and says that insofar as their group is concerned they are receiving no complaints with reference to labor strikes. "As a matter of fact," a Farmers Union spokesman said, "quite the reverse is true. Uany Farmers Unions near strike areas have con tributed supplies to feed the fami lies of strikers, and we have backed labor pretty thoroughly." Insofar as any general farm strike is concerned, there will be none. Farmers are too practical in their thinking to withhold from market food for 130 million people just because a million are on strike. And it may very well be true that the anger of the farmers is direct ed more at the long indecision of government in settling the labor dis putes, than at either labor or man agement, on the theory that it is patently unfair for the government to hold the line on farm prices and at the same time break the line on wages to workers and prices to management. Farmer It Squeezed I , It is certain that the action of the , President and his advisers in break-! ing the wage line and offering in creased prices to management to offset labor wage increases will be come a part of the pattern when revision of parity prices for farmers comes up for action. For to raise wages 18 per cent and to boost prices j for manufacturers comparatively, most certainly will boost the prices of the supplies and equipment the farmer must buy, such as farm ma chinery and fertilizer. All of this must be added to his cost of pro duction. Besides, the things he and his family consume will also be more expensive. In the meantime, the nnrest in the rural areas grows. The farmer fears inflation, more, probably than labor, certainly more than indus try. Thousands of farmers felt the force of inflation when they lost their farms following World War I. They saw the value of their dollar toboggan and the price of every thing they bought spiral high. And they suffered as a result. They fear a repetition of inflation, and then bust or depression. They knew that farm prices go down fast and far, > and stay there a Wag time when Iks 'pHE best pitched ball game isn't 1 always a matter of what the pitcher figures, but what the oppos ing batter knows. For example, Joe DiMaggio has faced more than his share of great pitchers, including Bob Feller, Bob Grove, Tex Hugh son and the pick of the National league. When I asked Joe the best pitched game he had ever seen, DiMaggio hesitated about one-fifth of a sec ond. "That's easy," he said. "It was the game Dizzy Dean pitched against the x anxees m iuc 1938 World Se ries. Pitching consists of four important details ? an arm, a head, a heart and control. The arm is supposed to be the most important. I guess rnayb? it is?if yfiu have an arm like Wal Dizzy Dean J oh nson, Lefty Grove or Bob Feller. But in this World Se ries game Dizzy had no arm. It was gone. We watched him warm up and he could just about get the ball up to his warm-up catcher. This was to be our day. We figured we ought to get about three hits apiece from that daffy-dill Diz was pushing over. It was something pitiful. "Well, anyway," DiMaggio con tinued, "here was our pushover. And we all knew that Dizzy Dean had been one of the great pitchers of all time. One of the tops. But he was a crippled duck now. He had no arm. Just 'Head and Heart' "So what happens? Here come these dinky-dinks floating up to the plate. No speed at all. Not much of a curve. Just a shot put. But they would come at tough spots. Low and inside?around your shoul ders?just balls you don't like. Balls that are hard to hit solidly. And we swing an# pop up or go out? and there's Diz grinning at us and getting by with only a head and a heart. No stuff at all. "And if those two Cub inflelders hadn't collided early in the game to give os two runs on a weak, drib bling infield roller, Diz would have had ns shot out 3 to 9 op to the 8th and I think would have beaten ns. "This game convinced me that Dizzy Dean was one of the great est of all time. Think what he must have been when he had his arm. I'm glad he was in the other league when he was right." More About Pitching At this point DiMaggio and your correspondent became involved in a discussion. "What do you figure the toughest ball to hit?" I asked. "What's your answer?" Joe said. "A low curve ball over the in side corner," was my reply. '.'Any low curve ball," Joe said, "inside or outside. I hit on a level plane. So did Homsby, Bill Dickey and Babe Ruth. But when you get one of those low ones around your knees, you have to swing in a dif ferent way. It's a great thing for the hitters that only a few hurlers can handle this type of pitch. For it takes perfect control to make this low throw. Here's a funny thing. A low curve breaks much faster and sharper than a high curve. Why? I don't know. But it does. After all we have to deal with facts, not with ideas. You know, Grant, from the pitching distance, that ball comes up to you in less than half a second. Johnson's speed was 130 feet a second. You don't have time to do much figuring in half a second. It's different with just a fast ball. You can time that. But you can't time a fast breaking curve around your knees." ? ? ? Strong Hands Needed You read in various gazettes the number of earnest and enterprising athletes who are now working to | build up their legs and arms. Such men as Louis, Conn, Greenberg, Dickey, DiMaggio, Ted Williams, etc. But too many of these, and a great deal too many of the youthful ; competitors just getting under way, overlook a section of the body just as important. This happens to be the two hands. Hand strength and hand action play a big part in base ball, football, boxing, golf, tennis, riding, basketball, fishing and other sports. Especially in baseball, box ing, horse racing and golf. A pair of big, powerful hands was Hans Wagner's crowning glory. Jack Dempsey's two iron fists, al most never injured, were a big help. Two of the strongest looking pair of hands I ever saw belong to Tommy Armour, the golf star, and Bill Dickey, the Yankee catcher. It isn't everybody who happens to be born with Wagner, Dempsey, Ar mour or Dickey hands. But this defect can at least be partially cured by the right sort of hand exercise. One of the best methods is to use rather small, hard rubber bulls, squeezing one in each hand. Add Shelf Units With One for the Corner IF YOU want shelves on one side of the room only, -one or more of the B units shown here with an A unit at each end is a smart com bination. If you wish to run the shelves around two sides of the room, a corner unit, shown at C, will also be needed. ? ? ? All of the units in the sketch are well proportioned with deep shelves and are especially designed (o be made by the * -- man who is handy with hammer and saw. Patterns are available with actual-size cutting guides for the curved shelves. Stock widths of lumber are used and the pattern lists all materials needed. Only the simplest hand tools are required. The A and B units are made with pat tern 270; the C unit for the corner with 271. Patterns are 15 cents each or 25 cents for both patterns mailed to one ad dress.
