STOP CUTTING
CABBAGE tour
ONBY GROWERS
Demand for Product Practi-
cally Ceased; Carry Cam
paign Through Valley
(San Benito Light, Friday)

Farmers Of the San Benito district
are today campaigning the tract and
making a tour Of the Valley as a
demonstration against cabbage cut
ting until market conditions are
cleared up. Following the announce
ment of the Traffic Association,
Thursday. that demand for cabbage
had practically ceased, cash buyers
today cut their price 20 growers 20
$40 a ton. I'VE don't want cabbage
even at that price" the buyers said.
Members Of the San Benito Farm
erS Society, in meeting last night
with other growers of large cabbage
acreage. decided that up to the pres
ent the action and advice of the Traf
fic Association had been good, and
that if followed would help solve the
problem of serious losses facing the
grower.
Early discussion in the meeting in
dicated that some growers thought
other methods than hose recommend
cd by the Traffic Association should
be adopted now. This brought an
explanation from o. o. Safer, local
manager of the society. He sent for
James c. Bowie, manager Of the
Traffic Association.
Bowie's explanation Of the market
and shipping situation cleared up the
view of the members, and expressions
were unanimous that the Traffic As
sociation was right and its advice
should be followed with complete
confidence.
Unanimously, the growers voted to
stage a parade today and canvass
the district, urging all farmers to
cease cutting cabbage until there was
an active demand for it in the mar
ketS.
The consensus of opinion was SIM
liar TO that announced by the Traf
fic Association, that continued cut
ting by free lance growers and con
tinued selling by independent buyers
on an overloaded market was respon-
sible for the light demand in the
north.
Cease cutting" was the slogan
adopted at the mass meeting.
1T was planned TO form a parade
in San Benito Of growers in this dis
trict in protest against further cut
ting. Following the parade, accord
ing TO plans made last night, the pro-
cession will 90 up the Valley, pass
ing through every cabbage growing
district, with brief stops, 10 urge all
farmers to stop cutting.
"The few who continue to cut and
sell, those few who want 70 get
theirs. regardless Of the rest, are
knocking the props out from under
the whole dealer" a speaker said
last night.
This is no combine to force mar
ket prices up TO excessive limits Or
To sting either buyers, shippers or
consumers i'll the north. 1t Is simp-
IL the result Of knowledge that we
have already rolled more cabbage
int othe markets than can be sold.
and have piled up the cars until we
can't get rid of il. The sensible
thing to do, and the only hope Of
making expenses out of this crop, is
TO stop cutting until here is a de-
mand for our stuff"

The Right to Work

1t is to be hoped that the present economic crisis
will not pass without some earnest attempt to make
beginning Of solution Of the problem of unemploy-
ment 1t true that much has been done in the way of
emergency relief but very little has been done along
the line of permanent plan to prevent the condition
Of ideness that recurs frequently.
There two principles that ought to find uni
versal acceptance One is that every has right
job at living wage The other is that every man
owes an honest days work every day pay he gets
In one way another the community supports all
the people of the community men, and children
no matter whether they work or not. The number of
people who die of starvation is nconsiderabe. Every
body eats and everybody Clothes and in the end
it is cheaper and very much better to supply work for
those who would otherwise be idle than it is to support
them in idlcness.
On the other side it is true that the government
has other of money than the taxes paid by the
people. When the government gives something 1t
means that all the people give it, and for the govern
ment give jobs to the unemployed means nothing else
than that all the people hiring some of the people
work for wages And justice requires that all of the
people shall receive in return from some of the people
n fair return in work for what is paid in wages
The haphasard way of enforcing the old rule that
the who will not work shall not cat does not work
out we'll in actual practice The idle eats anyhow,
and all the workers pay the bill. Furthermore, it is
the interest of the community that any shall
not cat and it to the interest of the community that
every man shall work.
Whenever idleness is the fault of the idle man it
is a crime against civilization. But when idlencss is
not the fault of the idle it is the fault of the poll
teal and industrial system, and tina. fault may be and
should be corrected.
