''The agreement entered into be-

ia, and representatives of the Agri-
cultural Workers Union, at Kansas
City, is not yet fully complete and
nothing could be accomplished by
making it public now" said Commits

tract is which President A. G. Town

which has been common in other:

workers direct from the point where
they may be delivered to us to the
point where they are to be employed.
Only by handling the problem as we
propose to do can we get the reduced
transportation charges which are adj

Up to the Farmer
"The farmer may not approve the
agreement when presented to him. If
he does not, we will strive to go on
furnishing labor as. we have done up
to the present, time. TO date we have
met every demand made on us, but
these demands have been light as
compared with what they will be later
