FARMERS DECIDE
 THEY SHOULD BE
 PAID FOR LABOR
Delegates to National Indus trial Conference Will Lay Needs Before the Next
 Meeting on Tuesday
nv A.,.,,,.e pr,,.

Washington, October 1z.--Needs
 Of American farmers, Including
 recognition of the right of the
 farming class to remuneration on
 the basis of the number of hours
 per day of work, will be laid be-
 fore the national industrial con-
 ference when it reconvenes Tues
 day.
 O. E. Bradfute of Xenia. Ohio, one of tho farmer delegates in the public group. announced today that the five farmer representatives attending the conference would have resolution setting forth the views of the farm CTS ready for presentation when the conference resumes it's sessions.
 Prior to the meeting of the full con- ference. however. it is expected that definite steps will be taken toward the settlement of the issue raised by the request of the labor group that the conference appoint committee to arbitrate in the steel strike. Action of some sort on this issue is looked for tomorrow. when the conferences general or "steering" committee meets. Members of the committee who spent the weekend in New York are expected to bring back word as to whether mediation by the confer ence would be accepted by the United States Steel corporation.
 The farmer delegates. it was said by MT. Bradfute, do not object to the pay ment of wages to organized labor on the basis of an eight-hour day. but they believe that the farmers are en- titled to remuneration for the longer hours of their working days.
 There are five representatives in the conference. three of whom. Charles S. Barrett of the Farmers Co-opera- tive union. r. C. Atkinson of the Ma tionaI Grange and J. IN. sTittemore of the American Equity society, were named by the three leading assoeia- tions of farmers and sit as members of the employers group. The two others. L. D. Sweet of Carbondale. Colo. and Mir. Bradfute. are members of the public group. F.. T. Meredith of Des Moines. another member Of the public group. is primarily interested in farming matters. but he was called away after the opening of the confer ence.
 Several of the farmer delegates are of the opinion that a national farm ing conference will be called after the present industrial conference has ad- journed and that settlement of their. troubles Is not within the scope of the gathering now in session. However, they expect to take an active part in the discussion of the high cost of liv- ing question, with the intention of showing that the b,ani cannot rightly be laid against the farmer.
