FARMERS AND UNloNISM

DRoPHETs of evil IN tn" world of politics
l. have been accustomed to amusr them
selves by wondering what w"u'd happen II
n day ever came when the agriCulturtSts OF
the country opposed themselves in solid
masses to the trades unions. Current news
from Washington indicates that such Il col
lision of purposes and aims is not far off.
The farmers have been making swift
progress with their own organizations. They
have borrowed some of their methods from
the unions, which, in turn, borrowed literally
from big business The so called ''agrarian
bloc in Congrcss-working crews in the
House and Senate pledged to toll almost ex-
clusvely in the interests of the agricultural
interests of the West and South-is the
result
Now the agrarians announce semi officially
that they will seek at the next session of
Congress to have the Railroad Labor Board
abolished This means that the farmers are
in a mood to ditch much Of the economic
legislation of recent years if by that method
they can obtain the advantage Of low rail-
road rates and high prices for farm products,
with the additional advantages Of lower
tariff than that which operates usually to
protect the industrial areas of the country.
The West and South want lower railroad
rates in order that they may reach wider
markets. Since they do not manufacture
they are not interested In m"thods by which
American manufacturing industries are pro-
tected. They desire instead lower import
duties in order that they may buy manu-
factured articles more cheaply
Thus the West is going with the South in
q more or less open war on the policies which
both parties have always considered neces-
sary to insure our continuing development
as an industrial nation. Sooner or later the
trades unions, which always have shared the
prosperity of industrial America, may have
to join with the employing groups in a move
ment against this new drive from the non
industrial West and South
