WILL ASK REPEAL
OF ADAMSON Law
Pres. H. N. Pope of Association
of Farmers Union Presidents
Asks Farmers to Urge Their
Congressman to Remove the
Offending Law

Forth Worth, Tex, Oct 9.-(Special)
H. n. Pope, president of the AS
ISOLATION of Farmers Union Presidents.
has issued a statement asking the
farmers to urge their congressman to
repeal the Adamson law at the next
session of Congress. Mr.. Pope has
also issued a pamphlet analyzing the
effect of this law upon agricultural in
terests. Mr.. Pope denounces the law
as offending the covenant which our
government made the people to give
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none. This statement says in
part:
THE Defenders of the Adamson law
have had much to say about emanci-
pating labor but how about enslaving
the farmers If giving to trainmen is a
virtue. is not taking from the farmers
crime? Has congress the power to
increase expenses Of industry many
millions of dollars without someone
paying the bills if SO, then Congress
should Immediately assemble and
Iegislate all the people into idleness
and wealth. This law is unsound in
principle and unjust in application IL
we are to extend this character of
benevolent legislation to all railroad
employees as well as to the employee Of
ell other lines Of industry 1t will take
the American wheat crop to finance
the Adainson law This is an annual
contribution which the farmers of the
nation are not financially able to make
and the only way to prevent 1t Is to
persuade our congressman. no matter
what political faith to take this law of
the statute book.
THE question is not whether this or
that political party should rule but
whether Congress has power to take
the oat crop from the American farmer
and give it to the trainmen. whether
our government has authority to force
one class of citizens to turn over prop
erty to any other class without COM
pension. If this character Of legisla-
ton is permitted to inhabit our statute
books. then property has no right that
Congress is bound to respect"
