THE HANCOCK DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1933 3 3 BUT OUR FAILURE TO USE THE DICKENS Ladoga Canners Allege Morgan Persuades Farmers to Break Contracts Here The Marion County Mail gives the following account wherein the Morgan Packing of Austin, are having farmers violate the contract they made with canners in various parts of Indiana. The Greenfield Packing of this city, are having farmers violate their contracts by selling their crop to the Morgan Company: Tomatoes are worth money this year. For the first time in the history of Marion county a suit has been filed to compel a farmer to deliver his tomatoes to a canning company on his contract. Charging that representatives of the Morgan Packing Company of Austin are persuading Indiana farmers to break their contracts with the Ladoga Canning Company of Ladoga to supply the Ladoga concern with their tomato crop this year, the Ladoga company Friday filed suit in circuit court to enjoin the Morgan company from continuing the alleged practice. Defendants in the court action are Ivan Morgan, former Republican state chairman and president of the packing company bearing his name; Joseph Morgan, his partner in the business; W.

Lindley of New Albany, an employe of the Morgan concern; the Growers Finance Corporation of Indianapolis, operator of the Indianapolis South Side Market; Chester C. Kearns, a Morgan employe; Ray Howell, operator of the Farmers' Commission Company, 320 East South street, a Morgan tomato broker; Estal Eg-gers, an employe of Lindley, and Stewart Pritchett and Lowell Pritchett, Hendricks county farmers who held contracts with the Ladoga company. The suit charged that Lindley has an arrangement with the Growers Finance Corporation whereby that firm's office is used as his headquarters and "at the said office engages in the business of buying tomatoes for said defendants, Morgan, and said tomatoes are unloaded on said defendant Growers Finance Corporation's property and there reloaded and shipped to said defendants Morgan." The complaint averred the Prit-chetts broke their contract with the plaintiff and are selling their tomatoes to the Morgan company through Lindley. The tomato plants and fertilizer were supplied by the Ladoga company, according to the suit. "The defendants Morgan have established receiving stations in Mar By virtue of a certified copy of a Decree to me directed from the Clerk of the Hamilton Circuit Court, in a cause wherein The Peoples State Bank is Plaintiff, and Pearl J.

When you buy an article of woolen clothing, you start something. More happiness conies to more people than you can possibly conceive. Not speaking of the happiness new clothes bring to you and those who are interested in your welfare. The sheep raiser, shearer, cleaner, wool dealer, spinner, weaver, clothes maker and dealer are all affected and they all employ people. Six shipments from the ranch in Utah to a store anywhere means transportation business.

From the clippings of the wool to the designing and making of the garment involves no end of labor. The last man you talk to is the dealer. He takes up the burden of selling. He has made an investment and assumes all the responsibility. Most dealers are doing a splendid job selling fine clothing for little money giving you the best fashions and values you may ever get.

So, undoubtedly, this is a good time to buy to be "well dressed" to save money by spending now. The Buy Now" Movement puts winter woolen clothing in the first class. Save $1,000,000 on Utility Rates Rate reductions ordered by the public service commission since March 8 have passed the $1,000,000 mark, according to a compilation made by the commission's rate department and submitted to Governor Paul V. Mc-Nutt. The sum of utility rate reductions contained in approximately six hundred orders written in the seven months, the report set out, is The reductions have been distributed widely among users of electric, gas, water and telephone services and have affected consumers in practically every city and town in the state, as well as many rural electric patrons.

Electric Reductions Lead In the various classes, the cuts have been summed up as follows: Electric reductions, gas, water, $21,100, and telephone, $50,046. The compilation was prepared by O. Livinghouse, director of the commission's tariff bureau. Reductions in electric rates were ordered following various methods of investigations, but without any of the cases going to the lengths of expensive rate cases, the department reported. In numerous instances, negotiations were carried on by cities and towns direct with the utilities and the public counsellor and commission were later called on to check over and to confirm agreements.

In a number of cases, Sherman Minton, public counsellor, initiated negotiations and conducted conferences with utility officials which brought about reductions. Similar procedure was followed in many of the gas, water and telephone rate investigations which led to reduction of rates. Result of Direct Effort "This record of $1,025,146 of rate relief for Indiana utility patrons in seven months," Mr. Minton said, "would not have been possible under the tedious old methods of going to formal rate hearings on every petition. It has been the result of new policies and direct effort which seek to eliminate, in-so-far as possible, slow methods and large expense.

"The public counsellor has been particularly interested in finding short cuts to rate relief. I must thank the officials of a number of utility companies for their willingness to sit in conferences and to listen to the ratepayer's side of the story. Members of the public service commission, too, deserve commendation for giving prompt consideration to consumers' petitions." The Safe Driver's Code There is one badly needed code which will not have to await an official signature. It effects every person in the country, and its adoption should be unanimous. It is "The Safe Driver's Code." Accident statistics reported to June 30, 1933, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, showed that 12,920 persons had been killed by automobiles this year.

The indications, judging from unofficial reports in July and August, are that final results may show a decided increase in deaths and accidents for 1933. This is doubly significant, because there are nearly 10 per cent, fewer automobiles registered in the United States this year than in 1931. To motorists, therefore, and to pedestrians and all users of our streets and highways, the following code is THE HANCOCK DEMOCRAT See Depression "Hangover" Ahead -irwrmnroHiiiii i iiiui inn IT RAISES apolis, Irene Burkle, Irene Helms, Martha McDonald, Vigian Kingen.

The Most Critical Time Lafayette Democrat. With the coming of fall, the NRA enters its most critical phase. It got off to a fine start with public sentiment massed behind it. That sentiment is still there but the novelty is beginning to wear out, the first thrill of excitement is dying down, and people are wanting to be shown. Millions of workers are confronted by the unpleasant spectacle of rising prices unaccompanied by comparable increases in their earning capacity.

Business generally believes in the NRA, wants to support it, but many do not know where to get the money. President Roosevelt points out to the people that success or failure of the recovery program now rests to the greatest extent in their hands. In line with this, the most important recent step was the NRA customer mobilization. The pledge which found millions of signers involves boycott of non-NRA businesses and patronage for those which display the Blue Eagle. There is no legal means of enforcing the pledge on a signer who breaks it that part of the campaign really is voluntary and, as General Johnson declared, depends entirely on the public's conscience.

"What will happen to Ford?" for his failure to sign the NRA code is being asked on every street corner. His wage and work standards are entirely in line with the code. He simply objects to signing. How much that will cost him in lost business is an interesting and important speculation. If General Johnson has his way.

Ford cars are going to be a drug on the market from now until he signs. Temporarily the Ford imbroglio has been sidetracked by controversy with the stubborn soft coal industry. As for the early influence of the NRA on general business, it has done wonders, according to a recent review by Dun and Bradstreet. Reports from all parts of the country show enlarged spending power, stimulated employment and the disappearance of the feeling of suspense and apprehension -which gripped the country for three years. Volume of business, in comparison to a year ago, has substantially increased and the forward movement is uninterrupted.

New employment is put at about three million. '54 bnl ft- r' 'VlJj ttsreaae mm Dr. M. S. Taylor.

The Morgan company also was charged with violating the canners' code under the NRA, which has not yet been approved.

NRA to Canvass on Increase of Work Washington, October 3. NRA has announced the immediate start of a canvass to cover every employer in the country to establish how much new employment and increase in payroll has been obtained by the recovery program since July 15. The "recovery census" will be handled by means of 3,000,000 questionnaires to be distributed by the post-office department together with return envelopes. Just as the blanks for the President's re-employment agreement were taken from door to door by the mail carriers, so will the census forms be delivered within the next few days. Message From President The questionnaire is addressed by President Roosevelt "to every em ployer" with the following message: "Two months ago I invited you to enter into an agreement with me to ai industrial recovery by shortening hours of work and by increasing wage rate.

"The time has come to take stock. The information here requested is necessary to determine the progress we have made." All Information Confidential All information contained in the answer will be treated as strictly confidential and available only to sworn employes of the government. Instructions for distribution of the questionnaires were sent to the 43,000 postmasters of the country today by James A. Farley, postmaster-general. The questionnaires are to cover conditions up to October 14 of this year and will be returned to the census bureau for tabulation, first by state and later by counties and cities and possibly by industries and trades.

Wallace to Address Muncie Livestock Meeting Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, has been scheduled to ad dress the annual meeting of the Eastern Indiana Livestock Breeders' Association, to be held at Munc ie on the evening of November 14, 1933. according to W. H. Settle, President.

Indiana Farm Bureau, under whose auspices the speaker was secured. This will be the first appearance of Secretary Wallace before an Indiana audience since he moved to Washington, D. last March to assume his duties in the cabinet, it is said. The yearly livestock meetings at the Delaware county seat have always enjoyed large attendance of stockmen from all parts of Indiana and western Ohio, but a record crowd is expected at the coming meeting to hear the well-known cabinet member discuss his program to secure parity prices for farm products, states Mr. Settle.

Shrubbery for School The lawn of the Greenfield high school is being improved with shrubbery, which is the gift of the 1933 graduating class. Various varieties of shrubbery have been planted and will offer much beauty to the grounds in the years to come. The shrubbery was purchased through O. B. Crider, local representative for a nursery.

The effects of fear, of loss of self-confidence, of continued submission and maso-1 chism, are to be counted as the more serious and lasting conse-! quences.

They are liabilities which i fafure generations will inherit." The three scientists agree, however, that in the present situation a great many Americans who formerly were content to let "Uncle Sam take care of everything" have realized for the first time their own social responsibility. In this connection Dr. Taylor observes. "Scientists recognize not only the presence of but the necessity for the breakdown of so-cailed culture as it exists today and the insolvency of our national worship cf unrestrained competitive individualism."
