Agricultural Workers
N e e d Organization
By LELAND OLDS

Urgent need for the organization
of farm labor into an all embracing
agricultural workers union is empha-
sized by U. S. department of labor
report on wages of farm labor COM
pared with the cost of living. The
report shows that farm wages have
not kept pace with the cost of living
The purchasing power of the average
farm worker in 1925 was 1920 below
that in 1913 and 1870 below 1906.
The unfavOrable position of the I'M
organized farm worker appears in
striking contrast with the position of
organized labor. Union wages, ac-
cOrding to department of labor fig
ures, will today purchase about $3.50
more than in 1913 and 1870 more
than in 1906.
In 1925 the average monthly farm
wage without board was $47.88. This
compares with a peak of $65.O5 in
1920 and with S30.21 in 1913. Farm
wages have thus fallen more than
26@o since 1920 to a level about $3.50
above 1913. The cost of living in
1925, according to the department,
was still 1870 above 1913.
Farm labor hired by the day aver
aged $40 without board in 1925. In
1920 and S1.48 in 1913. Thus farm
workers paid on a daily basis are av-
eraging more than 1920 under 1920.
and only 629o more than in 1913.
In only two years since 1913 has
the purchasing power of farm wages
been higher than in 1913 and even
then it was less than in 1906. In ev-
cry other year agricultural workers
have been worse off than in pre-war
years. In the two years 1921 and
1922, when deflation was at its height
farm workers could purchase only
about SO as much as in 1913 and
little more than 81 as much as in
1906.
