Points Out to Convention at Chi cago Benefits Wage Farmers Have Derived From Unions and Solid Front.

Chicago, June 22.-Farmers of the Nation should organize as labor has done, Samuel Gompers, president ot the American Federation of Labor declared in an address here before the National Wheat conference An effort IS being made through the meeting to stabilize the wheat-grow- ing industry, If wage earners had not organized, nobody would have farmers expect to be listened to they must do likewise, MT. Gompers said.
 Individual farmers have fought many manifest evils" he said, "but in every case where progress ha sbeen made organization has been bedrock of their strength and progress.
 There is no force in our social or ganization that will not come to the council table with the farmers when the farmers find the way to bring their strength together at that table. And let me point out,- the council table is the goal. The battle field is not the goal, much as some may like to make 1t appear so.
 "The council table make confer ence, negotiation, arguments. Reason finds it's place at council table where equals come together.
 "The farmers of our country will, if they know their history, proceed to find remedy and improvement through organization within their industry You know what is wrong and you know what ought to be done, but when it comes to doing it you are not in a position to act as unit, to put your thought and your power for a single purpose. You are disorgan- ized"

GARY DAY BRINGS
 DEMAND FOR LAW
 TO PROTECT LABOR

The recent refusal of Ebert H. Gary and the American Iron and Steel Institute to abolish the I2- hour working day has only served to intensity the public demand for laws against unreasonable hours of labor.
 This assertion is made by John B. Andrews, secretary of the American Association for Labor Legislation MT. Andrews said:
 Many who looked to the steel managers to set their own house in order now see the futility of wait ing longer upon voluntary action. Judge Gary's refusal has provided a compelling argument for public action to obtain laws to safeguard from excessive hours all steel workers and others in continuous processes"

ROTARIAN GIVES EMPLOYERS SOME
 HEADY ADVICE
Cultivate Workers Instead of Fight ing Them, Panacea for
 Labor Troubles.

If employers would spend half as much time cultivating the friendship, respect and good will of labor as they do fighting labor organizations there would not be a. labor problem, Sherman Rogers of New York, told the delegates to the I4th annual con- vention of the Rotary International at St. Louis this week
 I've waste too much time talking about the labor agitator," the speak Ter said. "He can only be recognized as the logical friend of the worker where the management has refused to extend it's friendship.
 "I was in the Seattle shipyards working as a helper III 1917 when Charles M Schwab made his tour of the American shipbuilding institu- tions. We'd heard he was a labor hater.
 "The first instant the great steel man looked us over 1t was apparent to every man in the bunch that Mr. Schwab really liked him. He stepped on that platform Charles M. Schwab, autocrat, millionaire magnate. He stepped off that platform, 30 min utes later friend Charles. In that short 30 minutes he had destroyed the hatred that agitators had been building for E years.
 "The world is built on ideals. Labor wants to be square. If labor follows the wrong leader 1t is not because they want to misunderstood but because the right leader has been asleep at the switch and hasn't given the men a chance to under stand him.
 There are three sides to every question-Your side, the other fel- lows and the right side. I don't be- 1ieve there was ever a question in either modern or ancient history where either side to the dispute was 100 per cent. right.
 "Ninety-fve per cent. of men, whether they wear broadc1oth or overalls, want to play the game square. Lack of contact means lack of understanding.
 'The employer has spent a lot of time selling his honesty, his fairness and personality to the banker, the the retailer and the pub lie How much has he spent trying to sell that same personality, honesty and fairness to his workmen? So1v- ing a labor trouble is not a myster- ious affair. It is simply proposition of using common horse sense.
