Washington, Feb. 12.-Deninl that
any group of organized labor pos
sesses an Inherent right to strike is
contained In II memorial to Congress,
formulated at the conference here Of
representatives Of four large farm.
crs' organizations - the National
Grange, the American Farm Bureau
Federation. the Cotton States Board
and the Association Of State Farm
ers' Union Presidents.
In view OF ''rccent events and hap
penings," Representatives Of the four
organizations said, 1t was agreed that
the attitude OF the farmer member
ship Of their associations on the right
to strike should he made plain to
Congress and to the country.
The memorial points out that the
city population Of the country In de-
pendent ON the farmer for food and
that interruption of this supply can
be brought about through strikes Of
railroad or other transportation
unions.
Those who believe that labor has
an Inherent right to organise n
strike, believe that such oeganixa
tiOns have right to starve the pe0-
pie Of the cities to death, on the one
hand, and to destroy the property Of
the farmers ON the other.
"No such right has ever existed aud
no such right exists now. II IL eco

people can and will work out some
other method for the settlement Of
such controversy.
