The Valley Labor Problem

The movement inaugurated last week in Willacy
county to form a seyen-county organization for the
purpose of fixing uniform prices for cotton picking
should have the unqualified support Of the Valley cot
ton growers. The objective sought is the elimination
Of competitive practices among growers in securing
pickers, and it is probable that the scope Of the or
ganization may be enlarged so that it may function
as an agency through which additional pickcrs may be
secured and distributed as needed.
Each year the Valley growers have passed through
the same experience during ia. cotton season. 1t IS
generally conceded that ample pickers have been Sc
cured 70 handle the Valley crop If the pickers could
be kept in the field. However, due TO the competitive
practices, for which the growers themselves are re-
sponsible, thousands of pickers, imported from distant
points, have devoted most Of their time either looking
for higher pay E. sitting around the towns awaiting a
better offer from some grower-and when the better
offer is made ii is often rejected, with the belief that
some other grover will raise the ante
The Lower Rio Grande Valley growers lost hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars in 1926. due to the lack
Of organization. Thousands Of bales Of cotton were
lost in the fields for whiS4 pickers could not be Sc
cured az the proper time, and the growers sustained
additional losses through the high scale maintained
as a result Of their own competitive practices. Efforts
were made just prior 20 the cotton season to organize
the growers, but they preferred TO be left to 20 their
individual ways, with the result that such pickers as
were secured devoted much valuable time TO hunting
higher picking prices, while the unorganized growers
were frantically endeavoring TO secure pickers to save
their cotton and to get it picked at a price that would
leave them at least a small margin Of profit.
The 1928 season will be a repetition Of that Of 1926
unless the growers organize. They should fix a GER
tain scale, and every grower pledge himself to abide
b. the rules and scale Of the organization. They
should enlist the cooperation OF city and county au-
thorities in preventing, so far as the law will permit,
the idIing and lettering OF pickers about the towns
when their services are needed in the cotton fields.
without organization they will be at the mercy Of
competitive prices, as they have been previously; but
through organization they can not only eliminate the
costly competitive practices but can also assure great
ar efficiency on the part &C the piekeys who can devote
their time to work in the fields instead Of wasting il
searching for n higher price.
If the Valley farmers organize along this line they
should extend the scope Of the organization to include
SECURING and distribution Of piekers. This could Be
accomplished through organization Of each community
cooperating through q central body sd working y

The World and All
DEMONSTRATIONS

IL often wonder what the average reader thinks
when he reads about he demonstrations that follow
the mention Of somebody's name at a political conven-
ion. Does he reader who has never seen a>eonvention
take these demonstrations seriously? Undoubtedly he
has read descriptions Of them, and perhaps has seen
flashes Of them in the movies. What does he think Of
them?
So far as my experience goes, there is nothing
more meaningless or more silly or more childish than
these demonstrations. Yet political stage managers
seem to agree that a convention cannot be a success
without several such demonstrations.
The demonstration for each candidate is carefully
arranged many days or weeks in advance. Rattles and
carnival noisemakers and horns and little flags are
bought by thousands probably months before the con-
vention opens, at least in cases Of the candidates who
are most. prominent and have been planning their cam
paigns for a long time.
At a certain hour, appointed far in advance, the
nominating speech for Jones or jerks or Hardy begins,
and the speech follows an old formula. The speaker
rants and shouts and praises the party and the country.
He swears that he loves America and that the candi-
date he is about to name loves the country.
At the end Of the speech, the speaker shouts out
the name Of his candidate, which he has been ~tactfully
keeping secret, although probably everybody in Ameri-
ca knows all about it.
Then the demonstration breaks loose. The band
starts to play. The delegates who are in his particular
candidates clsque jump up and down, yelling and wav-
ing flags, or rattling noise machines. The klieg lights
arc turned on, and cameras grind.
That's all there is to il. except for variations that
may have been devised for this or that candidate by
carefully selected press agents and stage managers.
The demonstration is timed 10 last as long as the
claque can hold out. individuals take turns yelling
until they wear out.
In times long past there we're genuinely spontane-
Gus demonstrations at a few conventions. Probably
the last one that wasn't machihed was for Bryan, a dark
horse, in 1896. Bryan brought it on with a speech. But
that was the last really eloquent speech ever delivered
before a political convention. Maybe there1l he an
other some day-long. long hence.
