GRANGE OFFICIAL SAYS
THE FARMERS WILL NOT
UNITE WITH A. F. OF
T. C. Alkraon, representing
National (!i ange at Washington,
Issued u statement denying that
farmers' organization« of this coun-
try will join th«- American Federation
o^J.iilior in its nation wid campaign
to elect this year only supporters of
the trade union movement. Mr. At
keson's denial followed a long state
ment of political plans and purpose,«
put forward by Samuel Gompers.
- president of the federation, and a
committee of that o) gunizution.
At one point in th<* labor * ta te
rnent the aasortlon ls mail" thnt the
organized farmers lire co operating
with the labor unions, Mr. Atkcson
takes issue with that usi eition' “We
decided." he says, “that the interests
of the farmer* and of organizer! la
bor were not identical, in fact were
diametrically opposed on some ques
tions. The union man wants shorter
hours und higher pay, which means
higher prices to th" consumer. A
similar attitude on th- part of the
farmers would mean curtailment of
production of food, until the people
were so hungry they would pay ex
orbitant prices rather than starve.
Instead, it i.< our policy tn encourage
a.<i much work an po- iblc, to stimn*
late production no that normul con
ditions may be restored.”
A memorial to congr
han been
formulated by representatives of four
fanners’ organization . the National
Grange, the American Fgrm Bureau
Federation, the Cotton Staten Board
and the Association of State Farm
ers’ Union Presidents. Pointing out
that the city dwellers are depending
upon th" farmers for food and thut
interruption of this supply can hr
brought about through strikes, th<-
mv mo rial asserts:
"Those who believe labor has an
inherent right to strike believe that
such organizations have a right to
starve the people of the cities to
death, on the one hand, and to de
stroy the property of the farmers on
the other. No such' right had ever
existed and no such right exists now.
It is economically unsound and the
American people can and will work
out some other method for the set
tlement of controversy.
"No set of men has ever had the
moral or legal right to destroy prop
erty or cause suffering by conspiring
together, und the welfare of the peo
ple must ever remain superior to that
of any class or group of people.
"What would be the verdict of the
people if the farmers of the United
States should decide suddenly to go
on a strike and refuse to supply the
wants and needs of those who are
not in a position to produce food and
clothing for themselves? They would
lie condemned from one end of the
country to the other, and the fact
would be pointed out that they, as
owners and tillers of the land, hail
no right, either moral or legal, to
bring about such a calamity.
“If the farmers, who own and oc
cupy the land, have no such inoral or
legal right, then why should it be
conceded by any one that those who
handle the farmers’ products have a
right to block the transportation or
industrial facilities of the country
and thus jeopardize the food and
clothing supply of the nation? If
the farmers have no such rights,
those who handle his products have
no such rights.”
