THE FEDERAL FARM BOARD

When Herbert Hoover was campaigning for the
presidency he gave the people to understand that
installed in the White House he would make
good the promises he made when soliciting the
votes of the producing classes, the workers in the
factories and the farmers who produce the eatables
for the country.
1t is true that the more skeptical took his prom
Uses with a grain of salt. Those who keep their
eyes peeled and their ears open know quite well
that the machinery of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties is operated in the interests of Big
Business and if the farmer or the industrial work
er ever gets a concesson from either of those
two parties it is wrung from them through the ex-
ercise of the mighty economic power that those
two producing classes can bring into play when
they organize to do so.
Hoover and his spokesman promised relief for
the farmers. If promises were dollars the farmers
OF this country would never have to do another
days work. They could spend their summers in the
mountains and their winters at Palm Beach, Flori-
Ca What has Hoover done for the farmer since he
took office? Echo answers, 'What?" Of course
we have the federal farm board with Alexander
Legge as chairman Legge, the big hearted patriot
surrendered a 100000 year salary to help out
the farmers for the patry consideration of $4,000
per annum. That's less than lobbyist for the An
ti-Saloon League receives for helping to make
moonshine the national beverage. It's only chicken
feed for Legge.
Now, what has Legge his farm board done
for the farmers to date? To this day the farmer
has been fed on lengthy propaganda articles tell
ing him what the board intends to do in the future
while in the meantime elevator men are robbing
him. Grain concerns storing wheat, purchased
at low price and holding it for rise in the mar
ket. Farmers near the Canadian border are ship
ping their grain into Canada where they can make
several cents over the American price on the BUSH
ell after paying the duty. What about it Legge?

ANOTHER HOOVER
MINNESOTAN ON JOB

Washington-(FP) - President
Hoover's Federal Farm Board has
appointed Edgar Markham, for the
past II years Washington cor
respondent for the st. Paul Pioneer
Press and Dispatch, to be its press
agent. The Pioneer Press and
Dispatch have been as consistent
ly hostile to the Nonpartisan Lea.
que and the farmers co-operatives
during the long years of conflict
leading up to the discovery of
farm-co-operative political strate-
gy by Hoover, as any papers in
the Northwest.
Hoover has two private secre-
taries from the Twin Cities-for-
mer Rep. Walter Newton on Min
neapolis, elected first in 1918 to
"beat the Huns" of the Nonparti-
san League and organized labor,
and George Akerson, former poll
teal writer for the Minneapolis
Tribune, who far outdid Markham
in attacks on the organized farm
er movement.
Inasmuch as Hoover's attorney
general is William Dewitt Mitch
ell of st. Paul, railroad and cor
poration lawyer, and since he has
two private secretaries to warn
him of radical activities on the
Northwestern farm front, and
Markham is TO bring to the press
bureau of the Farm Board his ex-
perience as an adnirer of the Min
neapolis milling trust, Minnesota
and Dakota farmers know what to
expect.

Carolina Strikes at Right to
Organize In Labor Disputes

Charlotte, N. C.-The right of
workers to organize, strike and
picket is challenged in the bill of
particulars drawn up by the State
of North Carolina seeking the SUI
preme penalty, the electric chair,
for thirteen of the sixteen defend
ants, Gastonia textile strikers, now
on trial at Charlotte, N. C.
This fact was pointed out by the
international Labor Defense, at
so E. 18th street, room 4O2, New
York city, in charge of the legal
defense of the strikers.
National Campaign for Funds
The International Labor Defense.
jointly with the Workers Interna-
tional Relief, endorsed by the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, is
holding ten day campaign in
hundreds of cities of the United
States at present raising funds to
continue the defense of the South
ern workers.
The prosecution, in its bill of
particulars, declared "a conspiracy
had been formed by the workers to
attempt to close the Manville-
Jenckes Mill, by force, if necessary.
and to resist the police if they in
terfered."
This bill would enable them TO
introduce everything possible to
prejudice the jury concerning the
rights to strike, the economic
views of the strikers, the right of
organization, of picketing.
Judge Barnhill, in accordance
with the defense objections, de-
manded further specifications. The
second bill of particulars, with the
further specifications" still at
tackled the rights Of workers TO
strike and to picket.
Try to Revive Old English Laws
The state of North Carolina is
thus trying to revive the old Eng

lish common law idea, abandoned
in America so years ago, that any
strike agreement constitutes con-
spiracy. The prosecution, most
apparently, hopes to gain a de-
cisiOn making strikes in themseles
illegal and all strikers punishable.
Thus this case looms of tremend-
Gus Importance to the entire work
ing class in America. The basic,
fundamental rights of workers to
strike and picket are thus endang-
cred by the forces of the North
Carolina mill owners.
Thousands Attend SaccO Meetings
Concentration of the second
anniversary of the execution of
Sacco- Vanzetti, in America, was
converted to demonstrations de-
handing the freedom of the is
Gastonia textile strikers now on
trial in Charlotte, N. c., thirteen
of whom are destined for the cleo
trio chair, if the State of North
Carolina gains its aims.
Reports from 80 American cities
indicate that at least 100000 work
ers demonstrated either on August
22nd or August 23rd, damning Am
erican capitalism for killing Sacco
and Vanzetti and for planning the
death of 13 more workers to COM
memorate the second anniversary
of the execution of the two mar
tyrs.
Most of the meetings were uti-
lized to raise funds, by means of
factory, street, house to house col
lections for the defense of the
Gastonia strikers, the campaign
for which is being carried on by
the Gastonia Joint Defense and
Relief Committee, of 80 E. 18th
street, room 402, New York City.
The expenses. since the trial be-
gan. have mounted tremendously,
requiring many thousands of dol
lars weekly.

nol;tical discipline in the working
cIoes ranks, began to take a less
raactionary line. Like Latin
IIovd George, he discovered deep
sympathy for the sufferings of the
bsIf-starved workers who crowd
the island. He declared that the
Socialist party was honest and gen.
erous in its program. This en-
RACED the hard-boiled Tous Soto.
They ouarreled. Now they are
irving to destroy each other. The
basis of their alliance for control
of the legislature has been repudi-
ated by both. Barcelo has indicat-
ed that when the legislature meets
again he will throw his strength
with that of Iglesias and the Re-
publican progressives. If he does
this. Iglesias will be able to die
tate the action of the Porto Rican
legislature for the remainder of
its four-year term.
There is the irony of history in
this situation. When Woodrow
Wilson was in the White House
and Congress was working on the
creation of territorial self-govern.
ment for Porto Rico, efforts were
made by the War Department
headed by Newton D. Baker, Il
revoke the right of Porto Ricar
workers to vote unless they were
literate or paid taxes. They haC
voted, despite their lack of know
ledge of reading and writing, since
the establishment of the first an
nexation government in 1900. Bak
er, instructed by army officers
told President Wilson that thes,
plantation workers would be votet
like cattle by their bosses, ant

officers and Baker in Washington
week after week, on this issue. HI,
predicted that these half-famishet
workers on the plantations woult
be the one political force tina
would raise Porto Rico from slav
cry to economic liberty. Wilson
finally agreed with him that tn
workers ballot might be a goo,
ferment in the island. Today lyle
sias is not the "jail bird" describe
by the army pashas of those day
, due to the fact that the Span
iards jailed him for organizin
trade unions, before the Spanish

Budget Bureau, deals with person
mel problems as well as office pro-
cedure. It's members are now try
ing to learn what the federal en-
ployes think of the suggestion that
the government sell them cheap In
surance under the group plan.
Leo George, president of the
National Federation of Postoffice
Clerks, said that the unions had
not been consulted, but that the
objection he had raised to an earli-
er plan would not apply to this
one. Some years ago, when the
death benefit plan of his union was
making good Roadway, bill was
introduced in Congress authorizing
the Postmaster General TO contract
with a private insurance company
for group insurance for all postof-
flee employees. His union opposed
the bill on the ground that it was
aimed to injure the unions own life
insurance, and thereby to weaken
the union, and because it would
give a big profit to private com
pany. He argued that if the gov
eminent were to sell group insur-
ance, it should act as the insurer
and save all commissions for the
benefit of the insured.
AS the inter-departmental board
now views the problem, it is one
of getting enough support from
the employees who will pay for the
insurance, and then getting Con
gress to enact the legislation which
will put the government into the
life insurance business. In view
of the many years of successful
resistance offered, in the House, tt
the creation of a public fund fol
the workmen's compensation insur'
ance in the District of Columbia
it cannot be assumed that Con
gress will readily permit the gov
eminent to insure the lives of it,
army of employees. Demand fol
this action must be organized anC
maintained during the next session
of the House and Senate.
