FARMERS UNION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE;
Please allow me space in your
dear old paper to say a few words
to the brother unionist. Local
union No. 712 has twenty men,
bers, and we are looking for quite
number more at our next meet
ing, which will be on Saturday,
December 81, at 2 p. m.
Let me suggest that we be in no
hurry to sell, but wait calmly and
success will be ours. look around
at your family and children who
have helped you to make your pro-
duce, then look to the families in
the cities who live in comfort and
ease. Do your wife and children
need the products of the farm so
they can share in some of the COM
forts of this life?
If they don't, the farmers ought
to quit their homes and become
hoboes. tits right thatwe should
have what is in all justice due us.
Come to the front, boys, for now
is the time to stand together.
For the present l will ring off,
wishing success to the union and
to the dear old CHRONICLE.
