 In the foregoing paragraphs will
 be brought out and explained the con-
 stitution of the Farm Labor Union of i America article by article, section by section, until all is exhausted.
 | Preface:-There never was an eff feet without cause, therefore, there i is a cause for the existence of the Farm Labor Union of America, and this is set forth briefly in the pre- amble of the constitution, which reads as follows:
 We farmers and farm laborers, who produce the farm products for every living creature, and without which no one could survive from the inmate of the county infirmary to the king in his palace, are and have been slaves for years for the manufactur- CTS, the gamblers and spectators of every like, who have priced the pro ducts of our labor and have taken it from us at their own price at their will, allowing us but mere scant living, thus bringing tenantry, illit eracy and misery to us while enrich ing themselves and filling their coff- CTS with the wealth that rightfully belongs to the producers. There fore, the farmers of Little River county, Arkansas, have placed them selves into an organization known as the Farmers Labor Union of Ameri- ca, which had it's origin with a numb er of real dirt farmers in Fannin county, Texas, but little over a year ago. It now numbers over five hund- dred thousand. You will notice a. gain that this organization has it's origin with real dirt farmers, a num- Der of them. And again there is to be seen the many different farmers There is a kind of farmer that farms on paper and advises the real farmer. There is another class of farmer that farm the farmer, and there is a real farmer that farms the farm. The latter is the farmer that forms this organization. And whenever a farm CTS organization is introduced to the farmers they should question origin and if said organization did not have it's origin with the real dirt farmer it should be rejected There have been several previous farm organiza- tions, but some of them, if not all of them, have been started by some grafter or broken down politician whose sole object was to corral the farmers for a selfish purpose. And all previous organizations opened their doors to all kinds and clesses, and there never has before been real simon pure farm organization until the existence of the Farm Labor Union of America. You will notice the word labor is connected with the name of this organization, which signifies that he must be real pro- ducer of farm products. It matters not if a man owns a thousand acres of land he must operate that land or a portion of it. He does not have to be cotton raiser particularly, but he must be producer of farm pro- ducts in realty. No farmer need be afraid of an organization that was organized by real dirt farmers, for they are not supposed to form an organization and draft a constitution that would be against their interests, and any reasonable minded man knows that such a class would natur- ally work to protect their own inter- ests. And any organization that would be for the protection and .bene- fit of one country, the same organiza- tion would be for the same purpose of the farmers of any country,
