TOWN AND COUNTRY

Every resident Of Brookings county
knows that our mainstay is agricul-
ture. That has been forced home with
emphasis this year. Farming is q
losing game.
What are you going to do? Draw
ing swords will only make matters
worse. Many of us have done this
already. 1t is time to right about
face.
There is a chance today in the
United States, just as there was in
1875 and in 1865. We have won our
place among nations by teamwork.
Are we going to lose our heads to-
day? OF cours not.
Town folks and country folks must
hitch up together. Both folks are the
same folks, for they live in the same
community. If town and country peo-
pie cannot boost for the same good
of the community, one will have to
move. Now that will not better con-
d%itions, but it will happen as surely
as history has been made in the old
countries of the world. If capital
takes over the land, and farms are
owned by corporations, we shall begin
to slip back.
There have been many town people
who have looked at farm organization
with a narrow view. They have tried
TO restrict farming operations, espe
cially the farmers ability to sell his
own products through association with
his neighbors, as big manufacturers
do today. On the other hand, there
have been many farm organizations
that have prejudiced farmers against
business e This has greatly re
tarded the development of such asso-
Citations.
Today the Farm Bureau offers a
farm organization, which gives the
farmers IN opportunity to associate
themselves together for a strong and
efficient means OF producing and mar
keting of farm porducts. The Farm
Bureau seeks to join the town and

OUR GREATEST ASSET
Trade Unions Have Prevented
the Formation Of ProIetariat
Says Samuel Gcmpers

By Samuel Gompers. President Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Editors Note-No man in the world
today stands so high in the esteem
of labor as does Samuel Gompers, and
no man is given more respect by the
employers, for while the latter were
opposed to the organizations he repre-
sents, they have admitted he was hon
est, fair and open to reason as we'll as
believed due to his followers. He
knows the ideals, the aims and the
strength of unionism as no other man
does.l
America has no ~peasantry.
America has no class set apart,
marked apart, definitely classified as
being apart and irrevocably fixed as
apart from the great mass of her
people. America has no class from
which it is impossible to merge.
America is distinguished throughout
the world by the high standard of
living which the masses of her people
enjoy. The comparison is sharp and
distinct.
For this, the American trade union
movement is primarily responsible.
America has no proletariat as Europe
knows the proletariat.
In the beginning, this was because
of the n in which our country
was settled and because of its bound
less natural resources. 1t has re-
manned so primarily because Of the
trade union movement.
For this, if for no other service,
the trade union movement Of the
United States is entitled to be ranked
as one of the country's greatest as
sets, If not, indeed, as the greatest
asset of all.
The growth of the Grade union
movement has substantially paralleled
the growth of the machine or factory
system. With the coming of steam
and the subsequent coming of cleo
iricity and the use Of these agencies
of power in the development of fac
tory life, the tendency of industry was
to concentrate populations N small
areas and the tendency of employers
was to keep these concentrated popu-
l%ations, so far as possible, at IA mere
subsistence level of wages.
But for the trade union movement
entering into modern industrial life.
combating the ever present tend
ency of employers toward a mere sub
~sistence wage. combating their tend
ency to retain the long employment
day that had obtained prior to the
development of factory life, America
would have had a class as distinctly
marked apart from the rest of society
as any European country.
The idea obtains to some extent that
trade unions are merely organizations
of aggression, that they are something
in the nature of pedatory bands formed
to secure for their members such tenn
porary advantages as may be possible,
no matter what the cost to employers
or to society. or course, those who

out of shortsightedness oppose the
trade union movement, seek always 10
spread this false impression.
The truth is that no organization
in America is broader in it's outlook
or attempts to more intelligently un-
derstand the general needs of our So
ciety or to fit in more constructively
and helpfully.
An understanding of the structure
of the American Federation of Labor
may be helpful in leading to an IN
d~erstanding of its activities and it's
policies. The form of organization
around which the American labor
movement is built is exactly like the
form of organization in the political
life of our country. The American
Federation of Labor is constructed
with its foundation on the ground
and all powers proceed from the base
upward and not from the top down
ward. The smallest unit of organiza-
ton is the local union. Local unions
are composed of groups of people work
ing in the same trade, in the same
communities. These local unions are
affiliated into what are known as city
central bodies or city central labor
unions. The city central labor union
is, thus a representative organization
composed of delegates from all the
local unions in a city. BY the same
process, state declarations Of labor are
formed. In most cities, there are, IN
addition to the city central labor
union, delegate bodies representing
the unions in specific branches of in
dustry such as the building trades,
the metal trades and the printing
trades. Through these representative
community organizations, the wage
earners in each city are brought to-
gether and are placed in a position
to act unitedly and intelligently for
the conservation and advancement of
their own interests and for the con-
sideration of problems of all kinds
relating to the life of the munich
pality.
In addition to these representative
community organizations, there are
national and international unions.
Most American unions have adopted
the term INTERNATIONAL because then
membership extends into Canada and
Mexico. National and International
unions are formed by uniting all of
the local unions in a given trade.
Comparing the trade union love
ment with our political structure, the
national and international unions
really correspond to the departments
of government. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor is, as its name i'm
plies, a federation-a federation OF
unions corresponding to the fedora
ton Of states. 1t is an. afiliation of
national and international unions. In
its annual conventions, these national
and international unions are entitled
to vote in proportion to the member
ship on which they pay per capita
tax to the American Federation of
Labor. In addition, each city central
body. each state federation and each
of the five departments of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor = building
trades, mine, metal trades, union label
trades and railroad employees depart
ment, are entitled to one delegate.
Many persons think that the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor is an or
ganization of great power. In a most
important sense this is true, but in
