Inc farmers ana workers Oh {
Sheridan county are suffering ex- j
IRENE privation at the present time
as a result of the economic crisis
which has penetrated the founda-
tions of the capitalist system thru
out the world. The continued deep !
ening of the crisis means that we
shall be forced to suffer even
worse misery unless we organize
for struggle against the capitalist
class which is responsible for this
crisis.
This fall the government and
other collectors will come to take
every cent they can out of the crop
which we are going to get. The |
agents of the bankers and other
capitalists will soon start a cam
paign of seizures and forced sales
in order to make US pay for the !
crisis thru the loss of our land
and chattels. 1t is only by or
ganized mass action that this can
be prevented, it is only by mass
action that we can win relief from
the capitalist class. The power of
the toiling farmers in the county
has been, and is being further, or
gani0ed in the United Farmers
League which has the leadership
and support of the Communist par
ty. During the past year it was
the United Farmers League OF
Sheridan county which carried on
the struggle against the county
agent, exposing the vicious dis
elimination practised by him and
his main street tools in the dis
tribution of the federal feed
and seed loans.
u. F. l.. Won Relief
1t was the United Farmers
League which won the greatest
distribution of Red Cross relief
anywhere in the northwest for the
farmers of Sheridan county.
In the attempt to deport Simon
Swanson carried on by the main
streeters and their political ac-
completes like Jack Bennett, post
master, Oscar Collins, ETC., it was
the United Farmers League which
fought and won his release. Ii
, this the United Farmers League
! hit a frontal blow at the attempt
r to terrorize the farmers of the
! county thru the threat of deporta
ton if they stood up for thei
rights and organized for struggle
r In the Johnson cattle case it wa
o the United Farmers League which
S forced the return of the johnson
: cattle which had been taken from
:. him without even any legal groun
n whatever. This was of great i'm
portance in preventing further al
! tempts to attach and seize stock o

n In every case the local MAR
o streeters and their political az
completes of both capitalist pa
ties have fought against the il
ID terests of the farmers. The
st fought the amount of Red eros
ri relief given out until they re;
n lized that they were being SUI
h. ported by it. They fought to ha'
i'll Simon Swanson deported. This
he fought against giving coal to tt
impoverished farmers. They abe
ted the county agent in his vicio
ey attacks on the most militant mer
ay bers in the United Farmer
pc League. They were responsit

ce- mics in the county and outside
ing county.
Carl Hansen Farmers
Representative
'ok, How has the representative
ing the farmers, Commissioner c
the Hansen, acted differently from
BAT commissioners representing
last mainstreeters and the bankers.
, of was Carl Hansen who fought s
the by side the farmers in the comm
sioners meeting for the removal
the enemy of the farmers,
nad county agent. 1t was Carl Il
MS sen who actively supported the
ing mand of the farmers for coal Fl

and passively opposed the interests
