FARMERS ORGANIZATION
 HOLDS STATE MEETING
Work of Organizing Farmers U-
 nionS Will be Pushed.
something About What the Union Proposes to do For the Bene-
 fit of the Farmers.

The first Arkansas state conven- tlon of the American Society of Equity, a farmers organization of national scope, was held in the house of representatives at Little Rock Thursday of last week. The convention was attended by farm CTS from different sections of the state, as delegates from the county organizations or unions of the so- clety. Several unions were rep resented and marked degree of interest was manifested in the meeting.
 The Gazette publishes the fol- lowing accound of the meeting:
 Yesterdays convention had been well advertised throughout the state by the different county papers and the local unions which did not send delegate were rep resented by letters stating the con- dition and progress of the work of organization in their several sections. While the American Society of Equity is perhaps not very we'll known in this state out side of its own organizations, new ertheless, the fact remains that the farmers of Arkansas have laid the foundation for protective society, the influence of which may be widely felt in the future.
 Prior to the opening of the con vention the members of the socie- ty called at Governor Davis office to talk with the governor. The delegation was greatly disappoint- ed, however, to learn that the gov ernor was in Russellville.
 HISTORY OF THE SOCIETY.
 The American Society of Equity was first organized in Indianapolis, Ind, December 24, 1902, by J. A. Everett, for the purpose of "se- curing to the farmer his rightful dues from the products of his la bor." The society is said to be strictly non-political, and has ex- tended, in the two years of it's ex- istence, until local organizations are now formed in over half of the states of the Union, and rep resent membership of over one million.
 The greatest growth of the soci- ety has been in the North and Northwest, though the farmers of the South are now organizing, Ar kansas standing among the first in the southern section. There are at present local unions in nearly every county in this state, whose members number about 25,000. There are no state officers of the society, the chairman of each uni on being vice president of the national organization and report ing to President Everett in India napolis.
 SEVENTEEN DELEGATES PRESENT.
 There were seventeen delegates from different parts of the state at the convention and the business of the meeting was chiefly confined to hearing the reports from the delegates and discussing plans for the further extension of the local unions throughout the state. It is the desire to have union Tn every township in each county.
 soCIETY's WORK OUTLINED.
 T. c. Hardcastle in short ad- dress to the convention outlined the work before the organization in this state. He stated that the society in Arkansas was only a llt- tie less than a year old, but in that length of time its growth had been 41n,, hnt snralv snreadinp
The Newark journal., 1904-10-14


 called for the purpose of consider ing plans for their betterment as a class. and to extricate themselves from condition in which they feel they should not be.
 ''The farmers are the only Work- inc class that are unorganized,a and they are compelled to fight daily an organized class of men, who are organized against them. we supply the food for the world and vet are compelled to accept the price which the organized consum- CT is pleased to give us. We do not intend to oppose any particu- lar class of men or to tear down any organization, but we propose to build ourselves up to the level of other professions, for farming is coming to be a profession. Nor will we be influenced by politics in our effort to be recognized, for we are and will remain strictly non-political.
 ''The farmers work longer, do harder work and get less pay than any other class of men. They must then take the products of their labor to the markets and ac- cept the price that somebody else sets for them. The doctor, law yer. merchant, machinist and oth- CTS, with whom the farmer does business every day, have their fix ed price for the products of their labor and the farmer must pay 1t. Then why isn't the farmer allow ed the same privilege, instead of being forced to accept the price which the man at the other end of the wire dictates
 We want organization among the farmers to conduct our own business. We must have a mini mum price for our products and get 1t. We want organization among ourselves so that when the supply of eottun is short we will get the price that we deserve. Set minimum price and stick to 1t and we shall get 1t. The farmer supplies the world and can get anything he asks for if within reasonable bounds.
 FARMERS CAN BE ORGANIZED.
 Some say that the farmers can not be organized, that they will not stick But the farmers of the West have been successful in organization and the farmers of this state can do the same. The organized farmers of the great wheat belt last year demanded one dollar a bushel for their wheat ,and they stuck until they got, and we can do the same with our cot ton. Estimating the supply and then set the price and stick to it.
 In order to perfect our socie- tvs organization we must have unions in every township. We already have them in every coun- ty. And in order to present the purpose of this organization to the farmers of the state, we must have a state organizer who will go from place to place organizing To- cal unions among our men,"
 STATE ORGANIZER ELECTED.
 Mir. Hardcastle then further ex- plained the benefit which a state organizer would be to the society and expressed a desire that the convention consider the matter that the organization might be pushed as speedy as possible.
 The convention then proceeded by vote to elect state organizer. with the result that James Free man was chosen to this position. MT. Freeman, who resides at Coal
