The farmer rightly does resent the
demands Of labor for shorter hours and
higher pay while he has to put in long
hours frequently for meagsr returns.
He is just as bitter towards IT,, proti-
teer who reaps tremendous profits on
the results Of the farmers labor.
The conventions which vetoed v;go-
rous demand for Ameri:anism are the
National Association Of Commissioners
Of Agriculture, American Farm Barsss
A ssociation, the Association Of Amsri.

timent of these convsatisns was that
the farmer should do his utmost to In
crease production
David F. Houston, secretary Of agri.
culture, told the collage association
that President Wilson, recognising the
farmers' problems, planned soon to
call = round table conference, similar
to the industrial conference between
labor and capital. He predicted a
lowering Of food prices.
The attitude Of the farmers was az
pressed largely by the convention Of
commissioners, which, in
coademned laber's attitude

upon all authority to quell lawlsssnsss
wherever it may occur with firmAsss
and dispatch, and demand Of al those
in positions of leadership in farmers
and the organizations
shall take such action -
will place the farmers in the attitude
Of true, incorporating Americsnism. F"
The high cost Of living resolution
placed the blame ON the profiteel who
cuts the income Of the producer and
raises the price to the consumer. Gov
ernment action was asked.
Increased production was asked in
another message, which said:
awe deplore strikes and lockouts at
any time, and in such . crisis ~ 1t
present we denounce them as bringing
loss ad suffering upon the
many while bringing benefits, IL any,
to the few. The world would be neither
clothed nor fed should the farmers
adopt the hours and days demanded by
the labor unions"
That farmers generally have little
sympathy with the attitude Of union
labor is best evidenced by the action
of the National Grange in refusing by
