FARMERS LOSE
IS BILLION ON
6 YEARS CROPS
Scion Is Worried Over
Farmers Ill Will
Especial to The Daily worker)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, May 16.--American
farmers have suffered loss of more
than $13,OOO,OOO,OOO in the past six
years thru the fact that the price
level of their crops fell below the
price level of manufactured goods,
Rep. Jacobstein of Rochester told the
house. during debate on farm relief
measures.
"Farm Trust"
Recognizing the farmers grievances
as legitimate, Jacobstein told the
house that the farmer must seek to
push his own prices upward, and this
can best be done by complete ma
tion-wide organization. The steel trust
stabilized the price of steel rails, and
the farmers, If well enough organized
can do the same for their crops. A
loss of about 20 per cent in the pur-
chasing power of these crops has
been borne by the American farmer
since S119. Organization of the farm
ers into strong co-operatives would
enable them, the congressman argued
to market their surplus abroad under
favorable conditions. In the prelim-
mary stages Of organization, however,
he thought congress must furnish a
revolving fund in order that exports
may be promptly handled.
Farmer Like Labor.
Describing the complaints he had
heard farmers make while waiting
their turn to testify before the house
committee on agriculture during the
past six months, Jacobstein said he
got ''the same kind of reaction you
get at a labor meeting when the work
ingman feels embittered against his
employer. That is tragic. We do
not want that in America"
THE farmers" he added, "are de-
veioping an ill-will toward the in
dustrial and financial east, so that we
are now developing an east against
the west problem, in place of the
north against south problem which
harassed this nation for over go
years. l could feel it every time l
went into that commute room. These
Wall Street people, they would say,
they are holding us down. That is
the same attitude of mind that the
working men of England must have
at this time against the employing
class and the governing class"

Prelude to Conference

SYDNEY, Australia - (By Mail)-
FP)-The New South Wales Labor
Party executive has started it's cam

from the labor movement. Already
several leading left-wingers have been
cited to show cause why they should
not be expelled.
The charge against them 10 that

by the Communist Party and organ
lied for the purpose of assisting to
impose the Communist Party upon the

is a faxed one, inasmuch as the con-
ference (held at Sydney on February
20) was called by the labor council of
New South Wales to protest against
the manipulations by political reac-
tionaries to secure control of the Ia
Dor government at the forthcoming
annual labor conference.
1t is the general opinion of left
wingers that these men are being at
tackled to prevent them attending the
conference and that the attack on them
is the prelude of an attack on others
in order to weaken their strength at
the conference. If this is done it will
enable the political reactionaries to
retain control of the labor movement

dustrial wings of the labor movement
