FARMERS SCORE UNION LABOR
National Grange DepIores Aims ot
Radical Leaders,


Washington, July 2.-Belief that or
ganized labor is guided by narrow
motives of class selfishness, and is
led by radical leaders, seeking polit-s
ical changes detrimental to the prin-
ciples of American government" is
expressed by the National Grange in
a statement explaining it's position on
political questions.
The grange adheres to the policy
Of refraining from participation in
political activities and indirectly crit
icizes the Farmers National council
the radical farmers organization,
which is affiliated with organized
labor.
"The newer generation, not familiar
with the history of the ground swell
in the '70s or the Farmers Alliance
Of the sos, now is active in public
affairs" says the statement. "The
grange has lived thru such two ex-
periences, witnessed the rise and
the wave Of these efforts, and meas
ured their results. History proves the
fraternal, educational, social, and CO.
operative efforts Of the grange win
far more for country people and the
country life, than political activity or
political office"
