but an open and avowed agent of
finance capital, a treacherous enemy
of the poor farmers. Farmers every
where should not be slow in finding
this out, and it is to be hoped they
will make systematic efforts to fight
this organization openly with all the
power at their command.
The Farmers Union is now being
used by finance capital, through the
Farm Board as medium, in Selling
control of marketing and marketing
facilities. Terminal grain elevators
are being built, ostensibly under
Farmers Union auspices to handle
the farmers grain 'profitably." One
large such elevator is now under con-
struction in the Twin Cities. An
other of about 250,0O bushels capac-
ity is being built at Williston, N. D.,
while others will come into existence
as the need for them arises. The
funds for this purpose comes from
the big banks, which now, obviously,
control the Union.
Go Into Business
In North Dakota the Farmers
union is already taking over sew
eraI scores of country grain eIe-
vators in the interest of finance
capital. Farmers Union leaders
tell the farmers that the "gov-
eminent" is giving the Union
money to "heIp" the farmer mar
ket his crop. Some "help," this,
to the poor farmer, to be sure,
when this same government is
dominated by finance capital, the
farmers biggest and worst
enemy!
Finance capital alreadys dominates
marketing and marketing facilities in
the United States, just as it now so,
in parasitical form, has penetf
agriculture in production, and it uses
the o-called farmers co-operatives"
to a very great extent, in exercising
| this control. The money bags find in
the bourgeois reformists of the type
of Huff, Thatcher, Thompson, etc.,
| servile tools to their interests. The
reformism which is so noisily said to
be of help to the farmers is really
being utilized to strengthen and con-
solidate the powers thatbe. The
Farmers Union ct al. is, therefore, to
be Stunned by the poor farmers.
Join United Farmers League
The poor farmer must turn his
face away from bourgeois re-
fornism and towards revolution
airy action. He must join the
United Farmers League, the only
revolutionary farmers organiza-
ton in the country, and fight for
the abolition of his taxes, his
debts; fight physically against
foreclosure and eviction, demon
strate openly against the capital
list authorities, and make COM
mon cause with the revolutionary
workers in the industries for the
overthrowal of capitalism and
the establishment of workers
and farmers government.

want to tell all workers and farm
ers that we are the worst hit we have
ever been in history, since I can re-
member. The landowner quit fur
nishing us about June /, so we
couldn't work our crops out like we
would have done if they had fur
nished us like they had promised
to do.
We can't sell anything in town.
One man carried some corn, peas,
and tomatoes to town and couldn't
sell at any price. So we all know
what to do, that is, join the Com
munist Party and fight back at the
landowners and bosses. Let them
know we are not what they call us
Southern people-yellow, like them.
No, we have got CUTS to fight back.
We are all darn good fellows, but
have been on the wrong road. We
are all going to fight like hell and we
know who to fight, since the Com
munist Party will lead US to victory.

Take Boss Ads
The Producers News in Plenty
wood is misleading the poor farmers
here. 1t is not honest with us farm
ers. You get the impression it is
strongly for all the poor, but at the
same time it takes advertising from
bankers, the power trust, Standard
Oil, the American Legion, ETC., and
writes nice things about the rich.
To me such a paper is the worst kind
of a paper. The editor of this sheet
seems to be Communist" a farm
er-laborite," a capitalist-all in one.
Such enemies of the poor farmers
are surely dangerous.

The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is building an overhead
railroad in order to let the freight
trains pass without blocking
traffic. The Batson Rogers Co.
of Chicago has charge of the job.
Mr.. Smith is head man on the
job.
Fool Men
Men hired to work as laborers on
the overhead railroad receive IS cents
an hour. Carpenters on the job re-
ceive so cents an hour. At the time
the concrete was started a new gang
of laborers was hired and promised
As cents an hour. Pay day came
around and the pay check showed
only 35 cents an hour. When asked
why the difference; they We're told
that was all they We're hired for and
they just better shut UP or get out.
Everyday men are hired and fired.
The work is hard. Too hard for
workers even though they know their
family is on the verge of starvation
to accept for a lousy 35 cents an
hour Those men who do stick are
doing so as the very last straw.

While these men are paid
starvation wages and speeded up

as soon as he is called on by the

And that's what he has done on the

way to hurry up the job although
there is no special rush about it,

Editor The Tribune:
Here are some of my views In the
Peter Schiele case. It IS quite need
less for me to comment on his good
behavior during the past eight years.
This has been taken care OF by those
who have written about hio already.
Let us see how the pardon board
has acted in some other cases. A
few weeks ago., after capturing the
Haven, S. D. bank robbers, their rec
ords were looked up, and one OF
these robbers was found to be a form
er inmate of state prison. He
had been released last March on
pardon after serving a few years, Of
a II year sentence, which was the re-
suit of four separate offences! Besides
this, the reports indicate something
like three attempts to escape within
a few years time. Certainly, not .
, record to be proud of.
A pardon means the granting OF
one liberty and, as I understand, IN
the case of prisoners is allowed by the
state pardon board on the record OF
their past behavior. If that Is so then
it should not be hard, nor take long,
for the pardon board to make a fair
decision in the case Of Peter Schiele.
Yours truly,
Gustav Fristad.
Mandan, N. D.
