Will The Farmer Strike?

We have seen the foregoing head
line in great many papers, as we'll
as some articles in the current press.
1t seems of sufficient interest to call
forth a little comment. Personally
we think the farmer will never
strike. We believe that this is sim
ply stage joke. To be sure he has
just as much right to strike as any
body else, which is really no right
at all. Personally | have never been
able to see that the principle of a
strike, of laborer throwing down
his tools and refusing to work, as
measure of demanding adjustment
of wages, had any more right than
one man taking a club and beating
his neighbor over the head to get a
good price for bushel of wheat
The public is vitality interested and
public is never considered when a
strike is being conducted. The pub
lie is yitally interested in the welfare
of the farmer. We believe in farm
organization as a means of working
out the troubles with which a farm
er comes in contact, but we hope that
no farm organization will ever be
made that will call for a strike. In
the problems Of re-adjustment Of
which we are facing great many,
we believe that the farmer will do
his full part, and that he should as
sumo his full responsibility in assist
ing in the working out of these prob
lens. To do this, organization is alb
solutely necessary. The labor diff
cutes which are besetting the cOun
try at the present time affects far

mers as fully as anybody else. Neces-
sarily his production will have to be
cuttailed, it is impossible for one
man to do more than so much work,
even with the advent OF more and
better machinery for handling agri-
culture there is limit to the best
laid plans. Ii is commonly stated
that a days work at the present time
does not mean more than one-half d
days work six years ago. We believe
that this is true, and yet wages are
comparatively more than twice as
high. If this is statement of fact
it will show that the cost of produc-
ton of the farmers today is at least
four times as great as it was six years
ago. 1t is fact that is recognized
by every employer that the raising
Of wages under present conditions
does no good, The more wages, ap-
parently the less work. The solution
of the present high cost of living, and
the present labor unrest, is more
production for each hour of labor
reformed. There are a good many
men at work, enough men at work
to produce all that the country re-
quires, if they did really work, but
we are facing a condition in which
production is not keeping up with
consumption the world over. Many
of the forces of production, in the
last two years, have been expended
along lines that do not give imme-
date results in lfe's necessities.
That is the reason that prices are
mounting day by day, at least it is
more nearly the reason than any
proposition 50 far advanced Let
every man give his best thought to
the working out of the best possible
solutions for the problems of read
justment which face our country.
