Brothers, Defend Yourselves.
In Union There is Strength and Protection
For All.
Fort WORTH Texas, Jan. 20, 1908.
The time has come to make the Farmers
Union a strong protective and defensive or
ganization. There must be we'll Defined pro-
gressive and aggressive plan of action free
from all semblance of compromise or fusion
with business interests or banking corpora
TONS
The Union system must be built upon the
principles Of Equity, Justice and the Golden
Rule, and the poor, neglected and disinherited
farmers must be saved from the merciless
power of the modern money-god
This great machine of organized farmers
must be set to work and the power and force
Of organization must be expressed through
definite plans Of cooperation. Every local
union must be made fortress where the mar
shalled hosts of organized farmers may speak
man speaks
There is no longer any doubt as regards the
attitude Of the National banking power of
the Nation. They have thrown down the farm
ers in the very hour of peril, and thrown their
great power and force on the side of organ
lied gamblers and spectators and taken to
their bosoms the cotton buyers trust, fused
and consorted with every element of stock
gamblers anu a&change operators, tied up the
money Of the Observation-Disclosures in a So
called money panic, bringing our entire coun-
try to the verge of bankruptcy, and forcing
many of the loyal farmers Of the Union and
others who were cooperating with them to
sacrifice their cotton to gamblers and specu-
lators.
These intolerable conditions cannot be pal
lated or excused, and there is no road left
for honorable Union men, but to hoist the
flag of independence, unite upon a plan and
march with steady step and loyal hearts, and
wrest from the modern Moloch the stolen priv
ileges, and restore them to the producers of
wealth.
Therefore, in consideration of the above
facts, and for the purpose Of uniting the farm
ers Of this mighty Union movement to give
force and expression that will bring results
and tangible benefits to the members, we, the
President, Officers and Members of the Farm

Thirty-hve Families ar e
Homeless and Six Persons
Dead in Fire of Incendiary
Origin Which Destroys
New York Tenement.
BY Associated Press.

New York, May 4-Thirty-five
families were made homeless, three
hremen were seriously injured and
three tenement houses were destroyed
in a second incendiary fire early to-
day in Brooklyn, following close on
the heels of the firebug blaze that re-
suited in six deaths and the fatal in
jury of three others at No. II Hum
IbOldt street, Williamsburg. The latest
incendiary blaze started evidently il.
the home of Samuel Green on the
second floor of the four-story tene-
ment No. 81 Flushing avenue.
The flames spread to the houses on
ether side and tenants had narrow
escapes.
William Brock, a member of the
Salvage Corps, was chopping on the
third floor when the stairway fell and
he dropped to the floor below. He
was seriously bruised and burned.
AS far as the police are able to
learn, the fire started in the celia,
and quickly made its way through the
halls to the roof. When the tenants
tried to get to the street by means
OF the stairs, they found escape cut
off and this fact leads the police to
believe that a fire was started on
every floor
Charles Abrams picked up his sis
ter and hurled her from the sill. She
landed on the stone pavement, frac-
turing her skull. The young man
quickly jumped, striking his head on
the iron railing in front of the house
with such force that he was killed in
stantly.
BY this time the excitement was in
tense A large crowd of men and wo-
men gathered in front and begged the
firemen to rescue the inmates The
occupants threw their children out of
windows and then leaped after them
Others We're afraid to jump. Among
them were the aged Mrs. Abrams, her
daughters, Sadie and Carrie. and Mrs
Cohen. They were found in their
apartments burned to death

Fort Wayne, Ind, May AT least
twelve persons lost their lives in a
fire which destroyed the New Aveline

discovered by Night Clerk Hopkins
early this morning. He rushed to the
