Numerous other concrete ex-
amples could be brought to show
the growing solidarity between
workers and exploited farmers, who
begin to realize that both are be-
ing exploited and oppressed by the
same enemies-the bankers, trusts,
market monopolies and the capt.
talist government.
1t is necessary that workers or
CARNATIONS everywhere follow these
examples and, while supporting the
farmers struggles for higher prices,
themselves organize mass actions
against the high prices to consum-
erS.
NOMRADE FOSTER, Communist
" Presidential candidate, in a re-
cent statement to the press ex-
pressing the policy of the Com
munist Party, urged both workers
and farmers Systematically to pro-
mote these solidarity actions.
Comrade Foster said:
"The trade unions in the pres
ent situation must theoretically
support the farmers movement
and their demands for increased
prices for farm products. At the
same time, we call upon the
workers and unemployed to fight
for the lowering of retail prices"
Comrade Foster further called
upon the unemployed workers to
participate in picket lines with the
farmers, and called upon the farm
ers to support the unemployed with
donations of unmarketable food
stuffs, instead of allowing them to
be destroyed.
1t is necessary that workers
everywhere shall establish connec-
tons with the exploited farmers,
not only in those areas where farm
ers' strikes are in process. These
connections can be established by
workers organizations sending their
members on Sunday visits to the
country. In arranging these visits,
the workers should provide them
selves with literature, especially
literature. dealing with the farm
ers' conditions. The farmers mill
tant paper 1.-THE Producers News"
published in Plentywood, Montana,
can be ordered and distributed
among the farmers during these
Sunday visits.
JOINT HUNGER MARCHES
Workers organizations should
also send delegations to farmers
meetings and invite farmers in re-
turn to send their Representatives
to visit workers meetings.
In the fight against hunger and
starvation, joint county hunger
marches Of workers and farmers
can become very effective weapon
for securing relief and at the same
time cementing solidarity between
workers and exploited farmers. BY
giving their support TO the farm
ers' struggles against the market
ing trusts, taxation and mortgage
burdens and against the strike
breaking activities of rich farmers,
the workers can surely expect in
return, both moral and material
support, in their struggles, from the
farmers.
Through these solidarity express
sions and activities of fraterniza-
ton. the workers and farmers can
create a powerful united movement

IN 1901, Lenin, writing in "Iskra"
("The Spark" BolShevik
paper, concerning the relations of
city workers and the awakening
peasantry, said:
"The peasants who are coming
to the cities are already watch
ing with keen interest the sSrug-
gle of the workers, which they do
not understand; but they are
spreading the message of these
struggles everywhere in the rural
districts. We can and we must
bring about conditions to change
this interest, if not into full un-
Outstanding, at least into the
knowledge that the workers are
struggling for the interests of all
tOiIers, and that the interest of
the peasants will change into
ver-growing sympathy towards
the workers struggles"
The sharp struggles of the work.
ers in recent years in the United
States have aroused more and more
interest among the tillers of the
land. The following incidents
serve to illustrate this interest:
During the Pennsylvania Ohio
miners strike the northwestern
farmers, who are perhaps more adj
vanced, sent carloads of foodstuff
to the striking miners. The Ken
lucky miners strike last winter
aroused very great interest
throughout the southern farm fields
among the poor farm population.
So keen was their interest and
sympathy towards the miners
struggles, and SO well did they re-
alize the possibilities of improving
their own position through these
struggles, that they sought to join
the miners union.
FARMERS ON
HUNGER MARCHES
During the national and, state
unemployed marches, farmers
some of them from far distances
came along the, route to greet the
marching workers, bringing food
Stuffs for them. So that the ex-
plotted farmers in the United
States are not only watching the
struggles of the workers with keen
interest, but beginning to under
stand them.
During the recent struggles Of
the farmers, these solidarity feel
ings have been expressed not only
in words but in deeds. In Iowa,
unemployed workers went on the
picket lines with the farmers, help
ing them maintain militant mass
picketing. In return, the striking
farmers expressed their solidarity
by distributing milk for the unem-
ployed and their families.
I ATER on, 300 unemployed and
Il employed workers in a mass
meeting in Sioux City condemned

REROUTING OF

Petition Says Road Change
Was Not Meant to
End Curves.

Purpose Of the North Meridian
street re-routing Of U. S. Road 81.
is not ito eliminate curves" but TO
provide a field day for politicians
procuring options on property along
the route" it is charged in a petit
ton TO halt the project.
The petition was brought to the
Statehouse Friday by Thomas z.
Pollen, Carmel. He sought to file It
with Governor Harry G. Leslie, but
the Governor wasn't in. He said
he hopes to see the Governor and
present the petition before paving
contracts for the new route are
let.
Bids on part Of the paving were
received Thursday.
Contracts for construction of the
new North Meridian street bridge
already has been let by state high
way commissioners.
Objection to the re-routing has
been voiced since its inception bv
residents OF Broad Ripple, Carmel
and Nora, where the old route runs.
These residents were signers of
the petition, which carries about
seventy-five names, according TO
Pollen.
In it six reasons for the Governor
to halt the project are set out. They
include the contention that the new
bridge is to be built on lowlandS
and will form an obstruction causing
floods, the political option charges,
excessive expense due to the road
passing through new territory
neceSSitating much filling and grad
ing, discomfort to Broad Ripple.
Carmel, and Nora residents through
loss of the traffic trade and tourist
business.
It also is contended that the
money could be better spent for poor
relief next winter and that the new
paving is not needed, because the
traffic problem has become less
acute than when the road was first
planned several years ago.
