FARMERS union SAYS
STRIKE IS BEST CURE
FOR PRICE DEFLATI0N'
(By Associated Press1

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. Is. - A
nationwide producers strike to com
bat the falling prices of farm products
was urged in call sent out today by
the National Farmers union to its To-
cal unions throughout the country.
The call in the form of resolution
adopted at the national convention of
the organization here went forward to
secretaries of local branches of the or
ganization which represent producers
of grain, cotton, wool and live stock,
said to number 100000.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal deflation in
prices of farm products. through which
it was asserted American farmers
have been robbed OF one billion dollar
in reduced value of products now on
hand" All farmers were urged TO
hold this years production from the
markets until "profit-making levels"
were restored
The action of the National Farmers
union was in line with a wheat
strike" called several weeks ago by
the wheat growers association of the
United States. Delegates asserted a
| considerable quantity of this years
wheat crop was being held off the
market by farmers.
Reduction of production in the flu
ture was threatened unless the prices
of our products are fairly readjusted
TO the end that we may obtain just re-
turns for our labors and investments.
in another resolution approved by the
convention.
Officials of the organization pointed
out that members were not under OBJ
legations to obey the terms of the
strike but expressed the belief that
such a movement would be effective.
A conference of representatives OF
all farmers organizations of the coun
try was called to meet in ST. Louis,
Dec. Is, to consider the creation of a
national farm marketing board.

CHICAGO, Nov. IS. - Corn down
swing has run 81 days and may run
little more Corn threatens to sell at
65, and seems to be afraid the radical
United States trade revision of 1921.
Many good judges thought that corn
was through at IS cents, but there Is
no demand for the cash or futures
Of consequence. A long hesitation in
United States trade is indicated.
Cash houses are bullish on wheat but
$50 wheat and CSC corn will not CO.
incide. The United States as no wheat
to sell to Germany and how wheat
can be bulled against a grilling list
of unemployment is not clear.
