ligently of Big Question
SAVS FARMERS ARE WITH THE MEN
Insiitlenl Tbil Eight-Hour Day
Just Proportion
ror me oeneni oi tne. many
readers of the Argus the open
r: ll . I . m .
letter of C. R. Cottrell, a promi
nent Washington Granger, is
herewith given:
"Kent. Wash., March 12, 1916,
-To the Executive Committeeof
the Association of Western Rail
ways: Gentlemen: In reply to
your circular letter (a perusil of
which leads me to believe that
you seek sympathy from farmers
in your adjustment of wages
with many your employes)
sent to me, I presume, because
of the fact that I follow farming
as an occupation, I beg to st?te
that if your c mmittee imagines
it will strengthen its cause by
appealing to that class cf people
(the American farmer) who have
felt the oppression of excessive
freight rate3 for the past 20
years, they will be somewhat
surprised to learn that the farm
er of today is not permitting
himself to be used as a catspaw
to pull chestnut3 from any cor
poration fire.
"I note in your circular letter
that you very neatly sidestep the
real cause why your employes
are demanding an increase in
salary, but elaborate upon the
new inventions added to your
equipment which make3 the oc
cupation less hazardous than in
former years.
"In adding your automatic
couplers and other labor-saving
devices, have you thought that by
doing so you have deprived cer
tain former employes o the right
to sell the only commodity they
have to sell labor? Have .you
wwidored that your-pre&eai em.
nlove pavs a ceAS.,"i" f
,oo-towaras the maintenance
of this unemployed brother?
Did you say that he could per
haps take up land and become a
farmer? Perhaps that would be
feasible if you would assist in
eliminating the waste between
himself as a producer and the
consumer, nut at present any
railroad man on the continent
would starve as a farmer.
"If I have been correctly in
formed, it takes combustion ma-i
terial, properly placed, to makei
the various parts of your iron
monsters to do the bidding of
man and transport the farmers';
crops to market at a price suf
ficiently large to guirantee a
certain per cent to your bona
fide stockholders and large
enough to pay dividends on the
watered stock. The only added
cost to you from fotmer years is
the increased cost of labor to
produce, as you own your own
mines of fuel.
"Has it occured to you gentle
men that it takes combustible
material properly placed to
cause the human machinery to
move and do their bidding? Your
employe does not own his mine,
but must purchase in the open
market at a price from 50 to 200
percent in excess of what he
had to pay 20 years ago. Do you
know that $1 today will purchase
the same article that cost 30
cents 20 years ago?
'No, Mr. Railroad Owner, in
stead ot using such methods to
keep your employes down to the
lowest level, you should seek the
cause of this high cost of his
Iviing. Open up your closet door
and there you will find the skel
eton of high freight rates be
tween producer and consumer.
Go farther on and UDon opening
other doors you will find other
ske'etons that will explain to you
why your employes ask for an
advance in wages. You have
one of the strongest organiz
ations on earth. Why antagon
ize your employe because he has
seen fit to follow the example
you have set for him? Rather
seek cooperation.
"1 take pleasure in informing
you that the farmers of Washing
ton state are tnorougmy organ
ized and in harmony with organ
ized labor.
"Good luck to your employes.
"Yours truly,
"C. R. COTTRELL, Farmer."
