Control of Strike

According to A. W. Kicker, editor of the
Farmers Union Herald, the organization Of a
Farmers Holiday movement would be started in
Wisconsin. Meetings of farmers are to be held
there shortly. The Farmers Union officials are

20 save their bankrupt organization and to regain
the confidence of the membership in the leaders
who have continuously betrayed them.

Dept. Of Agriculture
Boasts Farmers esx
Existence STANDARD.

The Extension Service of the
Department of Agriculture is
boasting of the means to which
the impoverished farmers are be-
ing driven to meet the hardships
of the crisis. Recently G. E. Far
rell of the Department made a
radio address in which he pointed
out how this was being accom-
plished.
Inc question which Mr.. Farreh
placed b efore the audience was:
"How are the best farmers man
aging" And so his information
relates to the farmers who have
been hit least of all by the crisis,
not the vast majority, because ac-
cording to the capitalist notions Of
the Department of Agriculture
they are not the "best" farmers,
just average" farmers.
Says Farmers Don't Need Much
Mr.. Farrell discovered that the
'best" farmers are making very
few long time improvements.
They are patching their fences
not buying a new car, doing no
painting, etc.
Then they are growing garden;
to a much larger degree than here
tofore. He boasts that "the thrift!

need only barrel or two Of flour
some tea, coffee and sugar and /;

to say that some of them may b
able to get these necessities if the!
can keep off the banker and tn
tax collector.

Admit Farmers Have no Money

this was decided on were members
of the Chamber of Commerce, city
officials, representatives of the
stockyards, produce houses, and of
the farmers. The farmers "rep'
resentatives" were the misleaders
of the strike movement. News
paper men were barred from the
meeting so that this attempt to
betray the interests of the farmers
could be discussed without getting
into the capitalist press, even. The
farmers are supposed to have three
five-minute periods a day on the
radio to broadcast their grievance.
The stockyards and produce houses
are agreeable to this because this
will not stop crops from reaching
them WHEREAS militant picketing
will.
Picketing on a highway IN Ce-
dar county, Nebraska, which was
stopped for a time by the sheriff
on Friday, August 26, was re-
sumed by pickets on Saturday. The
sheriff broke the lines again Sat
ur6ay but they were reestablished
on Monday.
Farmer-LabOr Candidate Tells
Farmers Not to Picket
Speaking at a farmers meeting
at Granada, Mimi, C. F. Gaaren-
strom, Farmer-Labor candidate for
Congress explained" the Farmers
Holiday movement. Gaarenstrom
told the farmers that they should
not picket as had been done in
Sioux City and Council Bluffs but
should act in a peaceful, honest
and decent manner" This is the
strike breaking treachery of the
Farmer Laborites, urging the
farmers to stay off the picket
lines. In this they prove them
selves, despite all of their "radic'
al" phrase mongering, agents OF
the capitalists just as much as the
Republican, Democratic or Social
list politicians.
Strike Spreads
: Four thousand farmers met IL
Soldier, Iowa, on Sunday, Angus
: %, to organize for picketing. The!
, agreed to Withhold all produce anC
grain from the markets.
H. NJ. Harden of the Minnesots
Farmers Holiday Association Ia:
come out against the strike move
ment in Iowa. 1--WE are firmly
against the action taken in the vi
cinity of Sioux City and Omaha.
This "leader" is no better than /;
:. strike breaker or a deputy attack
ing the farmers in the strike area
In fact he prepared the way for
: the brutal attacks of the milk
trust deputies on the farmers. eli
fact, we fear" added Harden. ''tha
I unless this sort of action ceases
the whole movement may be de
< strOyed. Drastic action is almOs

T paves the way for this "drasti'
action" If farmers are beaten O
