PROTEST MADE
BY DUCKWORTH
Against Georgia Railroad Commits
sion Aiding In immigration.
THE FREE PASS ORDER
Issued to Chairman Betjsman Of Georgia
Association is Violently Opposed By
Head of Farmers Union.

President r. r. Duckworth, head of
the Farmers Union of Georgia, has
furnished to the press of the state
an incisive communication dealing
with the order of the railroad commits
sion Of March IT, and made public
on April IA, by certain newspaper cor
respondents.
AS is well known, the Farmers I'm
ion has strongly combated the immi-
grafton movement, urging, among 9TH
er things. that it was not only threat
to Georgia labor, but that another of it's
effects would be the cheapening the
price Of cotton.
President Duckworth takes excep-
ton to the order OF the commission, at
the issuance of which he expresses
his antonishment. His statement is as
folEows:5l
'"To the Public: In the state papers
Of April Il find, much to my astonish-
meht, an order issued by the railroad
commission of Georgia on March q as
follows: There President Duckworth
quotes the order of the commission
allowing free transportation to Chair
man Betjeman, Of the Georgia Immi-
grafton Associatfon.)
"When the governor told us that he
believed he could convince the people
of his position, we thought that he
meant in public discussion of the
question, and we told him that we
would be glad to see him try 1t.
I'm fact, we thought that if he want
ed to discuss the question before the
public, the Farmers Union would be
glad to have representative present
to present its side of the question, but
from this clipping 1t seems that the
governor did not mean that he would
meet fairly and squarely upon the
stump the views of the Farmers IN
ion and discuss the question before
the public, but that it was his purpose
to have the railroad commission to as
sist the bringing of immigrants by
furnishing free passes to the chair
man of the foreign immigration associ-
alton.
'Tt looks to us like a scheme by
which the administration hoped to
thwart the will of the public and force
upon the people foreign immigration,
which they were so strongly oppos-
ing
"The Farmers Union is still ready
to meet any man on the stump who
will champion the cause Of foreign i'm
migration, and we believe that our
reasons will appeal to the masses of
the people of the state Of Georgia, and
we will only be too glad to meet any
man twhose reputation or following is
worth consideration on the stump in
discussion of this question, let it
come early or late
