Weary Nation Faces Economic Strains and Labor Tensions
The article argues for wage readjustments after wartime excesses, criticizing railroad and packinghouse pay scales while noting farmer hardships from falling prices. It cites a Minnesota farmer’s letter opposing high railroad wages, predicts rail relief only with policy change, and calls for leadership changes in unions. It also reports Harding rejecting Soviet trade requests, the death of naturalist John Burroughs, Anaconda Copper's April mine suspension, and a South Dakota farmer who killed 14 horses after drinking home brew.
