Militant Picketing
On Many Highways

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. GA
general revival Of militant picketing
by farm strikers is taking place in
the Middle West. This seems to be
the practical answer of the farmers to
Hooyers boastful speech, full of pro-
misses either vague or trivial, made
here Tuesday. Mass picketing is in
line with the program of struggle
urged by James w. Ford, Communist
candidate for vice. president, when he
spoke in Des Moines at the same
time and in the same city with
Hoover.
Ford called for united picketing and
united demonstrations by city jobless
and farm strikers, for broadening
the strike demands for higher prices
to the farmers to include lower prices
to the workers, no taxes or tax sales
for poor farmers, no forced collection
of farm debts.
