Attorney Oeneral Palmer today told the Hous? Agriculture comirittee.' "Unnatural oconomlc conditions/* the Attorney Oeneral said would be taken "advantage of by unscrupulous people," to make prices high unless the powers granted under the act are continued Jn force. These conditions, he said, prevailed throughout the world. More Necessary Now Than Ever.

It is not organized labor which thre atens the future of this country. Nei talism. Without organization Tabor would be underpaid and underfed. Without the capitalist there wrould be no adequate avenues for the employ ment of labor. Both must survive. But the menace with which we must cope is the alien parasite who has fas tened himself on organized labor and is daily eating out the heart of the great American republjc. These radicals from other lands are in a majority of cases nerf even citizens of our country. They are not loyal to j our institutions nor to the true inter ests of the organizations to which they have attached themselves. They are alien agitators and destroy ers?nothing more. They preach their pernicious doctrines and pray upon the susceptibilities of other* with the sole idea in view of creating discord and disruption for their "bwn individual ad vantage. They wmild displace the In telligent leadership of labor organiza tions and usurp the scat of authority: for themselves. And they are succeed j ing In these nefarious undertakings to ! an alarmingly wonderfm degree. Violence is Iheir only effective wea pon. and this they employ to the limit of their possibilities in their campaign 1 of brutality and intimidation. They are shrewd agough. however, to see that the responsibility for their devllishness is laid at the tloor of or- j ganized labor, and by this means es cape the individual punishment which Is their just due.
