LABOR MEN TO COOPERATE
WITH FARMERS UNIONS
Members of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday instructed
the executive board to look into the
newly-organized American Fedora
ton of Organized Producers and Con-
sumers. This society, born at con-
vention of farmers and labor leaders
in Chicago last October, seeks to
bring the producer and consumer to-
gether, to abolish the middleman,
curb the railroads and to put the
union label on manufactured goods.
DR.. J. w. Long, secretary of Amer
lean Society of Equity, said the farm
ers had nearly as many unions as the
city workers, but that they were now
being federated into one gigantic
body which wants to cooperate with
the declarations of labor in the cities.
He told how they occasionally worked
to cross purposes by fighting each
