W. Potts, Jefferson, state pres ident of the Farmers Union. Aren't Opposed to " . Labor, Emphasize "The officers make it very plain that they have no 'anti labor complex, read a statement Issued from the secretary s or fice. "They are friendly to labor and wish to cooperate in every way possible, to the end that friendly relations between the farmer and laborer may continue. without loss of crops, or loss of Jobs to the working men and wo men. "Many of those who have de manded the creation of such a collective bargaining medium are 'alarmed over the possibility of strikes. They have mortgages and taxes due, delinquent, or already In various stages of foreclosure. This crop, at current prices, can and will give the farmer and his family their 'pay check, for the years of hard work and long Hours v-put la up to this point. These farmers are desperate. Many crps are extremely perishable, like strawberries. They can and will be picked, canned, and paid for. . "The farmers propose to pro tect their homes, their labor, and - their crops. . . "If anyone is going to get a 'corner or arbitrary control of food, in order to enforce beir demands, then it m n s t be the farmer, the producer of that food, who will get his share first, and not last, as has been the case in all too many Instances, through lack of such a collective bargain ing agency. ' Avoiding Delays Is Principal Effort The association articles state - the Intention to see "that any and all of the operations necessary in the normal harvesting, transporta tion, packing, canning, processing, storing, andjor marketing activ ities of said farm products of the members, and 'or the farmers or - producers of farm products gen erally may continue uninterrupt ed pending any and all arbitration, conciliation, or efforts to deter mine, adjust, settle,' or conclude any strike, or other emergency that may arise, and affecting, la particular, perishable, and;or seasonable farm products . . . Creation of "an effective collect ive bargaining agency" is propos ed as the means to these ends. Officers of the protective co-op are charged with representing "primarily and exclusively the in terests of the members, and the producers of farm products gen erally . . . Other objects of the associa tion, in brief, are as follows: To encourage better and more economic methods of production, harvesting, grading, packing and marketing of farm products. To buy supplies for and sell products of members in a cooper ative way. To contract on behalf of its members with any unit of gov ernment or private firm or organ ization, including collective bar- f gaining agencies of labor inter ests, for the purpose of transact ing business in accordance with j the general aims of the associa tion; May De Extended - To Other States . Future extension of the new organisation to other states is contemplated under the articles of association.
