labor cannot count on the farmers
to JON it in any efforts to further
shorten the hours Of labor or in
crease wages, according to resolu-
tions adopted by the international

that it not only cease agitation
along these lines, but that it use its
hest efforts toward "eXerting a
steadying influence" in these tur-
bulent times, particularly by re-
framing from striking.
