URGES STRONGER
UNION OF FARMERS
NJ. w. TU56s MAKES APPEAL AT
TOBACCO GROWERS
MEETING.
MAINTAINS THAT TILLERs OF
SOIL SHOULD GET FAIR
PRICES FOR PRODUCTS.
Madison, Oct. %.

MadlsOLs OcI. 22.
NJ. w. Tubbs, temporary state sec
rotary of the Wisconsin branch Of the
American Society of Equity, advo-
Gated a stronger union of farmers be
fore the convention of the tobacco
growers branch of the society at
Turner hall last night. He main
tanned that the farmers should have
fair prices for their products and the
only way to accomplish that was to
have every tiller of the soil enrolled
in the American Society of Equity.
He spoke in favor of establishing
warehouses where the farmers could
store their products and hold them
until they receive fair prices for them.
The building of packing houses by
farmers was also advocated by the
speaker. He charged the Armours,
Swifts and other packing firms with
robbing the farmers.
Mr. Tubbs declared that if tobacco
growers would get together and es
tablish a warehouse they would be
able to store their crops much cheaper
than by shipping them to warehouses
in big cities.
In making his plea for the develop
ment of the organization, Mr.. Tubbs
said that the officers of the state and
county unions ought to be compelled
to do things and that if they fail they
should be kicked out of their offices.
He contended that if farmers had
pooled their potatoes this year each
one interested in the pool would have
received 20 or rs cents bushel, He
maintained that there is need of an
organization like the American So
ciety of Equity in order to prevent
the farmers from making fools OF
themselves.
There are but few organizers in
this state" said the speaker. I'VE
should have at least 100 in the field
oy the middle of December and they
should receive fairly good wages fo.
their work"
In closing Mr.. Tubbs called atten
ton to the county meetings which
will be held November 5 and at
which several important matters are
to be taken up Tor consideration.

| that the American Society Of Equity
does not stand for such outrages.
''We are not hoggish,' he declared
"All We demand is a fair price fol
our products. If we had any hogs il
our society they would be thrown
out"
The meeting was presided over By
lJ. G. Hanson of Deerfeld.
