A clash between labor leaders and farm interests unfolds as Fred Canfield of the State Federation of Labor argues for unity with farmers for labor friendly legislation. The farmer counters with the realities of farm life and his view on wages and work rules.
The article argues Iowa farmers face higher freight and labor costs blamed on postwar wage agreements. It cites railroads and unions, including Canfield, detailing back pay, overtime, and reclassifications under McAdoo rules. It warns farmers to resist wartime wage pressure and unite against perceived profiteering.
The author contrasts American zeal for work with European views, noting Americans turn trade into poetry and that crime stories reveal national life. He reflects on politics as evasion, urges learning a nation by its literature, and ponders love and sex as enduring human drama. The piece touches on war’s lure and primal beginnings.
A fragmentary extract recounts a conversation in which a plowman’s wife speaks with her granddaughter about Iowa’s early days. The piece preserves a grandmother’s reminiscence of frontier life and family roles from long ago, framed as a brief sketch in a local history column.
The sketch profiles a former editor of the State Press in Iowa City who after the Civil War moved to California. He has been active in journalism and public affairs and recently engaged in a public controversy with U.S. Senator Phelan over the Japanese question. The Palimpsest April issue from the State Historical Society of Iowa features this reminiscence.
