ployed Workers and this board
has heard a special committee de-
scribing themselves as representa-
tives of the United Farmers league

Vaino and Matt Ranta, who appeared
with many sothers before this board,
and were heard at length in support
of their demands as set forth in sale
written communications filed with

demands; and
Whereas. this board has given the
demands and arguments of said rep
resentatives of said United Farmers
league serious consideration.
Now, therefore. be it resolved.
THAT this board expresses its
great sympathy for and with all un-
employed workers and farmers, ano
other persons who now find them
selves in distressing financial cir
cumstances, by reason of the severe
depression now prevailing through.
out the country, and lack OF profit
able employment.
2-That this board is ready an
willing to do all that it can reason
ably and legally be expected to do
| in cooperating with other civic ane
social organizations in relieving sur
| fering and distress due to unemploy-
ment, financial misfortune and wide
spread business depression.
3.-That this board, by reason OF
| it's limited powers as a county board
| finds it is unable to comply with any
of the six o-called emergency de-
mands of the unemployed workers
and in that connection states thai
such unemployed workers must look
| to the st. Louis county poor commits
sion and the many and various frenel
agencies and organizations maintain
ed by the cities and villages and pri-
ST. Louis county for any emergency
relief that is needed: that the poor
commission of st. Louis county is
created by law and is the admins
trative board charged with the re-
sponsibility of granting emergency
relief to all citizens of st. Louis
county needing such relief, and this
board by law has no poor relief pow
ers or authority.

mands of said United Farmers league
for their attention, and action there
on, in such respect as they have IL
