"How about the railroads, Mr. Ford ?"
asked the interviewer. "They claim the

retaliated "Why do they work their

MILITANT UNIONISTS DID 1T

Washington. - The editor of the
Farmers Open Forum in the last issue
commcnds the militant and progressive
work done by the labor group in CON
gress, and is insistent on having the
farmers organizations elect similar rep
resentatives to work with the trade un-
ions. He deals with the subject as fol-
lows:
Samuel Gompers in recent speech
said there were II members of congress
members Of labor unions and that the
labor group has proved powerful fac
tor in securing legislation in the inter
est of the advancement of labor lie
might very properly have added that they
constituted group on which the farm
ers could always rely to support the
farmers legislative program.
The success of the labor organiza-
ton in securing direct representation in
congress with membership large
enough to secure right recognition OF
the interest of labor is an object lesson
to organized farmers. The time is here
when the organized farmers should make
it a leading part of their national pro-
gram to secure direct representation IN
congress with a group large enough to
attend to all the varied interests OF agri-
| culture \ group of farmer congress
men of from II to 80 members OF equal
ability with the labor members, doing
the same strong team work, and showing
| the same LOYALTY to the farmers cause
that the labor members show TO their
cause, would be epoch-malling in its
effect on the advancement of agricul-
tire. From now on let this be the
goal to be steadily worked for,
How did organized labor secure such
splendid direct representation III con-
gress? BY adopting as its policy the
militant non-partisanship we advocate
for farmers and of which our special
campaign numbers are evidence of the
kind of non-partisanship we mean. For
years the American Federation OF La
Dor and its affiliated organizations have
been militantly aggressive i'll supporting
their friends in congress and in showing
up the record and helping to defeat their
enemies. The candidates and the party
which give the best support to labor
measures as approved by the national
body get the support of the organiza-
ton and, in steadily increasing measure
the labor vote. The consistency with
which this policy has been pursued Tor
number of years past has convinced par
ties. and members of all parties that the
only way to get the labor vote is to pay
close attention to labor demands. The
result has been that in districts where
organized labor is strong, labor candi-
dates are looked upon kindly by the best
element in all parties
