old party politicians desire. Even if
the two groups united in forming the
party, the time would come sooner
or later when that party would split
into two groups representing con-
flclng interests of the economic
groups included in it.
A NEW
CLASS PARTY
The policy of the Workers Party
in this situation is to helm buiId .
rarity Which will represent the ecsS-
omc interests of the exploited farm
ers and industrial workers. It calls
that party the class Farmer-Labor
Party.
THE THIRD
PARTY
At the same time the Workers
Party welcomes the splitting awav
from the old political parties of the
Well-to-dO farmers, the small busi-
ness men, the professional grouns
and the broken down politicians who
go with them. 1t hopes that these
elements will form a Third PARTY
and carry on a struggle against the
TWO old parties: for the formation of
such a Third Party will weaken the
centralized capitalist power in this
country and create a more favorable
situation for the advancement of the
,lovement Of workers and exploited
farmers.
OPPOSE
UNION
What our Party is opposed to and
will fight against is to have both av-
pointed workers and farmers, and the
well-to-do farmers, small business
men, etc, unite in one Party. Such
a party containing conflicting econ
omic groups could net be a perman-
ent organization and would only hin
der the development of the class
movement Of farmers and workers.

ONE SEVENTEENTH AND JULY FOURTH By C. E. nmB

The New Majority" organ of the
Farmer-Labor Party eff the United
States, has made a wonderful dis
cOVery-nOthing more nor less than
the fact that the Workers Party of
America is opposed to a Third Party
and Tor the formation of a class
FarmeI-Labor Party.
The Farmer-Labor Party has inst
completed a circle in politics in rela-
ton to the formation of mass
Farmer-LabOr Party in the United
States. After the Cleveland conven-
ton OF the Conference for Progress
sl'e Political Action the Farmer-La-
Dor Party withdrew from that orga-
mzation and John Fitzpatrick, one of
tie leaders of the party. denounced
TIE CPFA as a "scab outfit" and rs
dual to the Gonlpers machine. II
tFen called the July 3rd Convention
and when it found that the 600 rem
'esentGUves of labor uninos and OIL
en- workers organizations who IS
Semoled there Wer, in earnest in
lnel' CeIre to create a mass Farmer
labor Party and formed the Fe,Icf-
ated Ialmer-Labor Party, it split
away and proceeded on its own $50
lated path. Recently representatives
OF the old Farmer-Labor Party met
with the organizations which called
the June 18th Farmer-Labor Party
convention, but when they found that
they could not have their own wav
they split away from this group. And
now. 10 and behold: what has han
pcEeG. The Farmer-Labor Party cf
Buck, and Brown, and Fitzpatrick
has decided to 20 TO the "scab cut
fit and dual" organization If the
GOmpers machine-the Conference

The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1924-04-18

Therefore the Workers Party will
carry on an unrelenting struggle
against the CPPA to win away from
1t very worker and exploited farm
er. 1t does not wish to win awav
from the CPPA the small business
men and old party politicians and
well-to-do farmers.
IN HARMONY WITH
ST. PAUL RESOLUTION
Does the fact that the Workers
Party carries on such a struggle null
lily the resolution adopted by the
-. Paul conference, as the editor of
the New Majority" argues? Such
an argument can only come from a
confused mind. 1t is entirely com
patlble, with separate organizations
OF the workers and exploited farmers.
70 at the same time have coopera-
tlon between the two organized
groups.

ecutlve Committee of the Workers

Eli OF March 22nd was a re-afirma-
ton Of a similar statement adonted

peared:
While we carry on our cam
p.algn for the organization of

must at the same time try to
drive the Third Party forces to
spllt away from the old capitalist
parties. And if this split takes
place and Third Party is orga-
nized which is an expression of
revolt against Wall Street and
which is not merely another cap

Party must make an election al

capitalist parties and the capital

THE FACTS OF

What are the facts of the situa-

the mulshness- of certain individuals
that there are two conventions called,
one Tor st. Paul on June 18th and
one Tor Cleveland on July 4th? A
person Ignorant of economic class di-
visions might argue that this is the
case. 1t is not so, however, to peo-

TWO NEW
PARTIES FORMED
What is happening in the United
states IS that two economic groups
are splitting away from the old par
Ties at the same time. In one of
Ihese groups are the exploited farm
efS and the industrial workers of the
city, and IN the other are the small
business men and broken-down old
party politicians referred to in the
quotation above.
Both of these groups are discon-
tented with the rule of the two cid
capitalist parties. Both are moving
toward the crystallization of their
political power through the organiza-
ton Of Party-that much they have
IN common. There is a deep chasm
CT difference of economic interests
which divides them. The things that
the exploited farmers and industrial
workers desire in order to improve
thelr economic position are not the
things which the small business men.

You, Mrs. Foley, was saying that
I was paying very few if any taxes.
l am paying in District No. 65; also
paying taxes in the Outlook District.
Mrs. Foley was saying something
about Jack Carriers bill being padded.
She never told about the either bills
being padded.
Mrs. Foley put up a big howl about
65c of chalk money. but she did not
say anything about moving school

but. the Judge told him he did not
care about what O'Grady had told

FARMERINE
OUT EARLY
The Sheridan County Farmerine,
Dr, Storkan's paper, got out early
thursday morning, with screaming
headline together with double col
umn picture of Sen. Taylor, secured
from the Montana Reccrd-Herald,
for the occasion, denouncing and eX-
posing Taylor, charging Taylor with
Bribery, EXtortion, Conspiracy and
divers other things. The paper, an
tlclpatlng that the frameup was &C.
ing to blow up sought to influence
the public with a lot of wild hes and
assertion before the case could be
dismissed, in order to announce to
the public that Taylor and Moe were
under arrest on a warrant sworn out
by Jack O'Grady who is under ar
rest charged with the stealing of sew
eral thousands of dollars from the
farmers of Sheridan county which
had been paid to- him in the liQCida-
Iion OF their seed grain notes.
MCKEE NEVER
SIGNED STATEMENT
Cashier Mckee testified under
oath that he had never signed a
statement as had been attested in
the lying Sheridan County Farmer,
and he testified also that the $3.50
note in question was the only note
over which there had been any deal,
which gives the lie to the story about
another note in the sum of $500
which appeared in the Farmerine.
A LYING
RAG
The Farmerine has proven itself
to be a base lying rag without any
regard or respect for the truth: its
only mission being to write and pub
fish any wild libel that might in any
way discredit Sen Taylor or any of
the officials elected by the farmers
who insist on going square.

he would see what he could dc, about
it and the next day came into the
bank and told him that if he wanted
more money right away he would
have to come across with this $3.50

Taylor and he had never talked about
