RIGHT TO STRIKE is
DENIED BY FARMERS
Representatives Send Memorial to
Congress condemning Such
Action,

Washington. Feb. 11.-Den.al that
any group of organized workers pos
sesses an inherent right to strike Is
contained in a memorial to Congress,
fc rmulated at conference here
today of represen atives of four large
farmers organizations, the National
Grange, the American Farm Bureau
Federation, the Cotton States Board
and the Association CT Sta Farmers
Unions presidents.
In view of recent events and hap
penings representatives of the four
organizations said 1t was agreed that
the titude OF the farmer member
ship of their associations en- the
right to strike should be made plain
to Congress and to the country.
Pointing out thai the city popula-
tion of the country is dependent up
on the farmer for food and that in
terruption of this supply can be
brought abou. through strikes of
railroad or ether transportation
unions, the memorial asserts:
Those who believe that labor has
an inherent right to organize a
strike, believe tha. such organiza-
tions have q right to starve the pee
pie of the cities TO death, on the one
hand, and to destroy he property of
the farmers on the other. No such
right has ever existed and no such
right exists now. 1t is economical ly
unsound and the American people
can and will work for some other
method for the sc tlement of such
controversies. No Sc of men has
ever had the moral or logical right to
destroy property or cause suffering
by conspiring together and the well
fare of all the people will ever re-
main superior to that OF any class or
grouD of people.
What wou d be the verdict of the
nee pie If the farmers of the United
States should suddenly decide to go
on a strike and refuse to supply he
wants and needs Of those who are
not In position to pre- duce food and
clothing for themselves? They would
be condemned from one end of the
country to the other and he fact
would be pointed out that they, as
the owners and tillers of the land,
had no right. either moral or legal.
to bring abou. such calamity. II
the farmers who cwn and occupy the
land have no such moral or lega,
right, then why should 1t be conced-
ed by anyone that those who hand e
the farmers products have a right to
block he transportation or indus
trial facilities of the country and
thus Jeopardize the food and clothing
supply of the nation If the farm
ers have no such rights. those who
handle his pre- ducts have no such
righ&"

small coter.e of labor leaders," who
have grown powerful by the contri-
but.o they have levied upon labor
To set up a government within a

by United States Senator Miles Poin-
dexter OF Washington. in an address
be.ore the Utica Republican club.
The farmers and labor.ng men of
America" he asserted, have in every
cris been the great bulwark of our
free institutions and VIII not follow
the mistaken leadership VIII ch would
place the government under the des-
potic cont oil of government within
the government ..... This govern
ment within the government Is not
ruled by labor, but IS an autocracy of
few leaders who would not only
impose their will upon labor itself,
but would extend it not only by he
ballot but by strikes and starvation
of the entire people of the United
States. 1t is obnox. Gus as the inyls-
.ble government against whicn the
people protested in 1912.
There Is no question of the right
of the American Federation of Labor
to secu control of Congress and of
the presidency by the way OF the ballot
box If it can do so IN accordance with
the proclamation il has just issued 1t
would be en- evil. day for the United
States and most of all for labor itself
II any class in this nation whether
employers or employees in industry
capital or labor, should succeed in any
such program; but that is one Of the
perlls winch the nation must face as
the pr ce of free government,
Mr. Gompes s curses Congress-" he
continued, but is not specific in his
companies. On the contrary the an
nouncament states that AL of the es.

grievances Of 1906 was enacted This
proclamation states thas the free in
stitut.ons of the country are men

is to the proposed anti-strike legisla-
tion. The + ght to throttle the trans
portation of the nation en- which the
llyes of the people depend is not one
of our ( ee INST tutions'
"The officials of the American Fed
erat.on of Labor oppose not only the
anti-strike legislation, but oppose the
establishment of government tri
bunal for the hear ng and settlement
of industrial disputes. The position
of Mr.. Gompers is that these ques-
tions must be left to the labor unions
themselves to settle under the com.
pulls on of tying up transportation
and essential industries. This would
seem to present clearly the issue of
COVE nment by due process of law or
government by coercion. To claim
the right of any private organ zation
to lay an embargo upon the peoples
supply of food and other essentials of
life, is 10 cla' the right of private

nun ty against the community itself :"

Counter Proposal Made to Heads

MEETING AT WHITE HOUSE
Decision Of Chief Executive Reported
TO Be Based on Justice and
ls "Unalserabe"

Washington, Feb. 13.-An "unal-
terable" decision In the railroad
wage controversy was made by
President Wilson today in confer.
ence with the representatives OF the
brotherhoods. The presiden. said
that the governments policy was
biased on justice 10 al interests"
The presidents decision was not
announced at the fhite house. Off
cials said 1t was s"decision con ain
ing a rcposal." From this state
ment 1t is assumed that the president
has refused to grant the general
wage increase but has made coun-
ter proposal 20 the men The brother
hood representatives would not say
what that proposal was. Timothy
Shea, acting president of the bro her
hood announced that there would be
no atement issued today
The president met the railroad
men on the south portico of the
white house and read the statement
he had prepared, after making o
study of the repor on wage negot!a-
tions.
The conference lasted Is minutes.
The president sat in wheel chair.
Washington. Feb, H. President WI
son will be asked tomo row by spokes-
men for the moro than 100000 rail
road employees that definite assurances

the cost of living, leaders n the wage
negotiations declared tonight. AS an
alternative. the un on representatives
viii clam increased wages, demands
for which were not pressed at Mr. VIII
sons request last summer.
There was unmistakable evidence
tonight among the union officials o.
a fea. that the pres dent would re-
fuse to grant their wage demands.
A few said frankly they could see
no hope to settlement favorable to
them The view seemed to have been
based on the arguments offered in
rebuttal by Mr. Hines as the union
leaders presented new claims or pro
posals.
Representatives OF the workers, II
was intimated tonight based their
hope for CHER wages largely on
the increase IN the cost OF liv ng since
the last general wage increase in
1918. The cost of living question
VIII lie always to the fore in the nego-
tiations which the union men have
had with Director General Hines II
be employed to the full extent OF the
unions power in the conference with
the President, 1t was indicated
Immediately after the announce
ment from the White House that the
President would see a union COM
mittee of three personally, a meeting
of all un on heads interested in the
controversy was called and prepara-
tions were begun for possible presenta
tion of verbal aims in exemplihcation
of the written statements submitted
through Director-General Hines.
Director General Hines in trans
mitt ng data on the controversy to
President Wilson made suggestions
re atiye to final disposition on the
problems. These, however, did not
take the form of definite recommends
tions it was said. Union leaders had
knowledge Of Mr. II nes' stand and
they were understood TO fear the
Presidents decision would follow clos
ely along the same lines.
