by making it harder to- get the farmers to join
And while this disloyalty barrage fire was going
full blast, while meetings were being interfered
with, while Mr.. Townley, Mr.. Gilbert, Mr. Martin
and others were being arrested, there was a drum
fire Of really painful howls about the Leagues
wasting the farmers hard-earned $16. Without
efficient management the League could not have
stood up under this heavy and unexpected expense
Leader readers are, Of course, familiar with the
important steps in the reign of violence against
the League The many broken-up meetings, the
widespread mob violence centering in Minnesota
and spreading out to all the other states where the
League was working, the tar and feather parties
and the kidnapping Of League workers and farmers
They remember how the frehose was turned on
cars containing women and children in farmers
parades in Minnesota; the six League men badly
beaten, robbed and then taken over the state line
from Gregory county, s. D.; the tar and feather,

AN OLD STORY TO
ORGANIZED LABOR

While this bitter dose of sided justice was
new thing to many farmers, it is old on the in
dustrial field Union labor has been fighting the
same kind of fight for years. America is over
run with industrial spies, gunmen, troublemakers
who know law but the will Of the big industrial
magnates. Several years ago the president of the
Pennsylvania railroad admitted in an official in
vestigation that his road alone spent 100000 a
year for men whose job it was to fight unions
Women and babies as well as men were shot or
burned to death by these fiends at Ludlow COL
Over a thousand innocent citizens were dragged
from their homes and sent out across the desert
at Bisbee, Ariz. On the Pacific coast so-called
vigilante mobs have frequently made organized
workers run the gauntlet between rows of men
armed with clubs. Killings, false arrests, mobbing
by supposed officers of the law as well as by gun
men, are a part of the organized workers life in
America The present fight against the farmers
is only an adaptation of methods in which the
vested interests have long had practice. In the
case of the farmers it is political rather than
so-called industrial battle, because the farmer is
his own employer and is exploited through >pot-
ical control. Such things must go on until a ma
jority learn that it is impossible for people to
live democratically side by side with special
privilege.
The organized farmers have also had to fight

Judging by the way the old gang has
fought the farmers in their campaign
for larger voice in the government,
any one would have good reason for
asking, Hasn't America gotten too
much under the control of the special
interests to be reformed by the bal
lot? President Wilson had this dan
ger in mind when he said as long ago
as 1912 that it was doubtful if the gov
ernment of the United States could
dominate these interests. Justice Louis
Brandeis, in the same 1912 campaign,
warned that 'The fear of the trusts
is the beginning of wisdom" But the
organized farmers are the more deter
mined by the size 1of the fight, for on
it hangs everything that is dear to
them as free men-their livelihood,
their children's welfare, their
political freedom, the honor
of their country.

Columbus, Mont; the two League organizers bru-:
tally whipped and then treated with salt in the
open wounds in Texas. Probably thousands Of
persons, most Of them well known to officers of the
law, participated in these and other outrages of
similar or less vicious character, and yet as the
Leader readers know not one of them has ever
been hailed before court of law to answer for
his crime. There could be no better proof that in
America we have interests above the law not only
in monopoly exactions but for whatever crime they
wish to commit. There are men who can not be
brought into court as ordinary men are before the
political control has passed to the people, and these
men have all the power of state office with them
to use in any fashion to prevent the control from
passing

knowledge of the real conditions. With this know-
edge the common people are in position to go
ahead to make America what it ought to be-
ruled Of for and by the people. Many Of them are
disillusioned, but they are the better defenders
of democracy for it.
The specially vicious fight on the League farm
ers began as soon as it became apparent that the
League had a chance to win. The gang in North
Dakota first tried to laugh the "rube" movement
to death. That failed Then they tried locking
halls and other similar annoyances in addition to
the usual kept press lying and general old-gang
methods which are considered more or less proper
political methods. Bankers, retailers and others
brought pressure on the individual farmers. But
the enemies Of the farmers did not realize fully
what was going until the farmers had won the
election and gotten the law enforcing power in
their own hands,
The special privilege interests have not made
this mistake in the other states. The great con-
ference at St. Paul in September, 1917, gave them
their first big warning, for that conference showed
that organized labor and organized farmers were
substantially in accord. They were forming an al
lance which made victory for them certain unless
the special interests could separate them again
From that moment the vicious, un-American fight
on the League began in earnest. The interests
discovered" that the honest farmers making up
the League movement were disloyal, one of those
discoveries without any proof like Doctor Cooks
discovery Of the North pole a few years ago.
Every so-called proof was demolished by the
League as fast as it came up, but the other side
had the big papers and they reached people out
side the farmers publicity The lies got over the
HUNTING COVER
FOR VIOLENCE
The disloyalty lies were needed, however, for
more than directly turning people away from the
League The old gang had planned to prevent the
ings and there had to be plausible reason. With
the hue and cry Of disloyalty the state officials
