Farmers Response Growing
Detailed reports from the Nor

workers are actually walking off
the fields even where there is no
picketting. A particularly sue
cessful meeting was held there
yesterday, the sentiment was ex-

greatly strengthened. An inter
esting thing here and at some of
the other meetings was the pres
ence of a number of the poorer
farmers. A great effort has been
made by the United Front to en-
list them on the side of the beet
worker against the sugar company
a least to the extent of neutraliz-
ing them IN the strike. Their at

meetings shows considerable head

a meeting Of 1875 was held and 100

Workers Cooperative
IS Hit q Vicious Blow

EBEN JUNCTION, Mich, May
2S-The Eben Farmers Co-opera-
tive Store Company's Board re-
ceived a long awaited decision
handed down by Judge Runnels of
the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court
that the Eben Cooperative Store
must be dissolved. The suit brot
about by the handful of stockhold-
ers has new come to close. Judge
Runnels has handed down a de-
clslon declaring the solvent Eben
Cooperative, which has over $45,-
10000 of Net Worth, into the
hands Of a Receiver to be dissolved
and, if possible, disposed of as
soon as possible.
The decision of the Court makes
it impossible for the membership
to appeal the case as there is a
twenty-five thousand dollar bond
required to guarantee that the as
sets of the organization shall not
diminish.
Lnstigated by the HalOnenites
The suit which now has been
concluded was brought about at
the instigation of the Halonenite
leadership of the Central Cooper
alive Wholesale, using as plaintiff
some of their followers in the Eb-
en- territory who had long time
before already organized a COM
petitive organization in Chatham,
Michigan.
According 10 the decision, Judge
Runnels had no other excuse but
that the leadership in the Eben
Cooperative are Communists &C
cording to his opinion, and there
fore, he declares the dissolution of
this solvent cooperative organi-
iEatfon of Michigan. After re-
ceiving this class decision of the
Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of
Michigan, the Eben Farmers Co.
operative Store membership held
a Conference on May 18th, where
the matter was thoroughly dis
cuSsed.
Attack on Working Class
1t was pointed out at the CEN
ference where the decision was
read, that the declaration of the
Eben Cooperative Store into the
hands of receivers and to be dis
solved, is an unjustified and open
attack by the Halonenite leader
ship through the courts against
the Eben Cooperative and the
working class as whole.
AT the conference there were
about $50 stockholders present
At this meeting it was decided
that everything possible must be
done by the Board TO safeguard
the interests Of the supporters Of
the store and its membership as il
was deemed impossible to appeal
the case to the Supreme Court Of
the State of Michigan, because Of
the large bond that was REQUIRED
and because of the prohibitive leg.

working class in brutal frankness that they can
starve until the budget plan is balanced Hoover
lies even when talking about the most important
interest of the capitalist class. Important as the
federal budget is for the entire capitalist class,
there is question of even greater immediate i'm
portance for the capitalists and that is their in
terests as individual plunderers and exploiters.
The Hoover government has handed out millions
or dollars to the capitalists in tax returns and in
gifts from the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton. This has intensified the budgetary crisis of
the federal government.
What is the program of the capitalist class? To
plumber the federal treasury to as great an ex-
tent as possible in order that the capitalist class
may get its interest and dividends paid. The fed
era budget has been severely shaken by the crisis
This has been intensified by the plundering of the
treasury by the capitalist class. Hoovers program,
the program of Wall Street, is that the working
class must be robbed thru new taxes, t. fill up
the widening gap in the budget.
But the working class is suffering direst priva-
Iron. Millions of unemployed workers face actual
starvation. So do their wives and children Mil
lions of farmers destitute. What is Hoover's
answer to this misery. this misery on a scale never
before heard of or dreamt of in the United States
WHEN THAT BALANCING OF THE
BUDGET is ACCOMPLISHED 1 PRO-
POSE TO SUPPORT ADEQUATE MEAS
URES FOR RELIEF OF DISTRESS AND
UNEMPLOYMENT"
When the capitalist class has been satisfied,
then Hoover will do something for the working
class. The capitalist class has never been salts
fled. 1t has plundered and exploited the toiling
masses beyond bearing it. 1t has condemned mil
of fOiIeI A.
death that it might coin profits out of their
life blood. Hoover's hypocritical promise of re-
lief for the toiling masses after the wishes of his
masters, the Wall Street bankers, have been sat-
isfed is promise of starvation anG death to mil
lions of American workers and farmers
This promise we must crush down the throat of
this bloodhound of the exploiters This heavy
jowled mastiff weighs our lives against the bud
get of the capitalist state and fnos that we have
not suffered enough yet, finds that we must suf-
fer more dire want, so that the budget may be
balanced.
We must intensity efforts many fold to or

strike had made little Roadway.
Saturday there were only six on

and 100 were pulled. Today no

favorable reaction.

al and court expenses that would
be involved.
The conference went on record
to make this class decision of
Judge Runnels known throughout
the country in the cooperative
centers and to expose the whole
affair before the working class.
Organize New Cooperative
In view of the fact that the
Judge has in mind the destruction
completely of the working class
cooperative movement in Eben
Junction and surrounding COM
munities, the conference went on
record to Immediately organize a
new cooperative to take care of
the needs of the workers and far
mers when the old one is dis
solved; that in spite of the efforts
of the Halonenite leadership and
the court, there will always be a
working class cooperative in the
Eben territory.
The following letter was unani-
mously adopted by the conference
to be sent to Judge Runnels and

tory:

Dear Sir:
We are in receipt Of your deci-
sion concerning the Eben Farm
ers' Cooperative Store Company.
We, the membership, assembled
IN conference vigorously protest a.
gainst the decision handed down
by your court as unjust and based
on your antagonism toward the
present legally and unanimously
elected Board because of their DO
litical beliefs.
The very fact that your court
has declared the Store to be plac-
ed into the hands of a Receiver at
the behest of wreckers and omen
enemies within the ranks of our
organization, to be liquidated at a
time when it win result in ire
mendous losses to the membership.
when there is no necessity for
such action, shows that it is an
outright attack by your court to
destroy the Eben Farmers Coop
erative Store Company, a solvent
Michigan Cooperative CORPORA
ton.
In view of this fact, the mem
bership of the Eben Farmers Co.

declare that we shall expose This
unjust action with all the means
at our disposal. We further state
that we hold you, as Judge Of the

losses which are bound to occur 70
