They have unions with which to fight for better
conditions. The poor and tenant farmers, white
and Negro, are in little better shape as far as
organization is concerned. In political way, the
situation is even worse than the economic field
It is, therefore, obvious that the urgent task
confronting the workers and poor farmers of the
south is to organize. The workers must organize
into unions. The poor farmers must likewise or
