LAND FOR USERS
WORLD FARMERS
MEET DECLARES
so Nations Represented
In Rome Confab
10y The Federated Press)

A living wage for the farmer, the
possession of the land by those who
actually till it and freedom to organ
ize for economic, social and political
ends are among the principles Of the
World Agriculture society now in con.
ference in Rome. This organization
with representatives from more than
so nations, emphasizes the Importance
of the farmer in world economy.
The World Agriculture society came
into being as the result of confer
ence in France, in 1919, which met to
consider voluntary cooperation by
producers and consumers in the study
Of world problems Of food supply and
the welfare rural populations. 1t diff
fers from David Lubin's International
Institute of Agriculture, which is a
governmental body for compiling and
disseminating reports, in that it aims
to represent voluntary organizations
of farmers-to become in a sense a
farmers international.
The principles on which the organic.
alton rests as stated by Laurence H.
Parker, its executive secretary. in
clude:
L.. An adequate supply of food for
all people is essential to permanent
world peace. A hungry world means
chaos
2. This food supply must be fur
nished by the farmers Of the world.
3. The conservation and improve
ment of the soil should be one of
the chief concerns Of world states
manship. But no government decree
nor resolutions of conferences can
insure proper use of the soil: that
is up to each individual farmer.
T. The working farmer must have
a living wage. A meager sustenance
with scant surplus to sell does not
meet permanent social justice.
5. The land should be controlled
by those who use it.
6. International cooperation in
agriculture will gather and interpret
facts, spread popular education in
farming and country life, seek legis-
lation in the interest Of the farmer
as a producer and to simplify and
cheaper distribution of soil-grown
products.
Z. No cooperation on an interna-
tional basis will suffice unless it en-
courages free organization of the
farmers.

Railroad Magnates'
Lobby Wages War On
Barkley Labor Bill
(By The Federated PressJ

Z
WASHINGTON, May IA - When
the Barley railroad labor bill comes
up again in the house, on May 10, for
three hours debate on the special cal
endar, it's supporters will attempt to
keep the house in continuous session
until the opposition permits final
roll call. The bill can come up only
on two days a month, and the rail
road lobby is fighting it by continu-
GUS breaking of a quorum and forcing
of quorum calls. The progressives
will try to keep the legal quorum
100 members on the floor
continuously all night and all next
day, if necessary, to compel the old
guard to face the decisive vote.

SEE FARM-LABOR
PARTY AS HOPE
OF FOREIGN-B
Milwaukee Council For
St. Paul Convention
Especial to The Daily workerl

MILWAUKEE,, May 14.-Enthusias-
tic Endorsement of the June IL con-
vention at St. Paul has been given
by the Milwaukee Council for the
Protection of Foreign Born Workers,
composed of labor unions and foreign
language groups.
The council sees strong political
movement by the workers and farm
ers as the greatest weapon against
the persecution Of foreign born work
ers now being carried on thru immi-
grafton laws and by other methods.
Mass Meeting Coming.
At mass protest meeting, May %,
at West Side Turner hall, 304 Fourth
street, against such discriminatory
legislation as the Johnson bill, speak
ers in German, Hungarian, Slavic and
English will put the Farmer-Labor
party case before the workers.
Tom O'Flaherty, editor Of the Irish
People and on the staff Of the DAILY
WORKER, will be one Of the speak
ers.
The councils statement on the
Farmer-Labor issue says in part:
Urges Farmer-Lahor Unity.
The council further believes that
the best way of combating legisla-
ton directed against the foreign
born is for native and foreign born
workers to organize their political
and industrial power and to fight
shoulder to shoulder against the
bosses.
The executive committee of the
Council for Protection of the For
eign Born Workers urges, as the
first step in this direction. that all
foreign born workers shall join the
labor unions in the industry in
which they are working, thus fight
ing with the workers who have or
ganized their power against the
bosses.
A strong organized labor move
ment, embracing native and foreign
born workers alike, a strong Farm
er-Labor party to fight the political
battles Of the workers and farmers
these are the weapons with which
the native and foreign born workers
must fight to secure better things
for themselves.
The council urges the affiliated
organizations to discuss this ques-
ton at their meetings and to con-
duct systematic campaign for ev-
cry member joining the union of his
industry and to support the devel-
oping movement for a Farmer-Labor
party to fight the political battles
of the workers.
