The antagonism between union la
Dor and the farmers was accentuated
last week when representatives of the
National grange, the American Farm
Bureau federation, the Cotton States
board, and the Association Of State
Farmers union presidents met in
Washington and drew up memorial
to congress denying that any group
of organized workers possesses an in
herent right to strike. Alluding
especially to strikes of transportation
workers, the memorial says:
Those who believe that labor has
an inherent right to organize a strike
believe that such organizations have a
right to starve the people Of the cities
to death, on the one hand, and to de-
stroy the, property Of the farmers on
the other.
mo such right had ever existed and
no such right exists now.
mo set Of men has ever had the
moral or legal right to destroy prop
erty or cause suffering by conspiring
together.
what would be the verdict of the
people If the farmers of the United
States should suddenly decide to go
on a strike and refuse to supply the
wants and needs Of those who are not
in position to produce food and cloth
Ing for themselves? They would be
condemned from one end of the coun-
try to the other and the fact would be
pointed out that they, as the owners
and tillers of the land, had no right
either moral or legal, to bring about
such a calamity.
''If the farmers have no such rights
those who handle their products have
no such rights"
