NEW VANCOUVER

The action of the life insurance
companies is not complete vic
tory for the farmers. It is only
a temporary truce to lull the farm
ers into false sense of security.
Bucner in his statement said that
his company's action was taken,
pending further consideration Of
the farmersi difficulties by the
legislature Of that state" he
wants to make the farmers believe
that the state legislature will do
something for them.
The only thing that the state
legislature may do is to establish
arbitration" committees to rob
the farmers without laying the in
surance companies open to mass
action. If the insurance companies
are not provided with this way of
robbing the farmers by the legis-
lature they will pnoceed with their
original program.
FARMERS KNOW ALL ABOUT
'LENIENCY"
Buclner, in his statement, tried
to convince the farmers that his
company had been "lenient." The
farmers, however, know how "len-
lent" the New York Life and the
other insurance companies have
been. They threatened to hang
the company's agent in return for
the "lenient" policy of robbing a
Plymouth county farmer of his
home.

WONT GIVE RELIEF

However, Jack Bennett, the
chairman of the Central Commit
tee of the R. F. C. refused to call
a meeting" We wont handle any
of your cases." he said. "Take it
up with your local keymen."
"But the key men refuse to give
US anything" a member of the
committee replied. Of course
this didn't make any difference
to Jack Bennett, well known To-
cally for his hostility TO the farm
ers. The farmers then decided to
send committee to the Rev. o.
M. Simundson, local Lutheran
minister and member of the Cen
trail Committee on relief, to ask
him if he would be willing to call
a meeting to take up emergency
cases of relief. He refused even
to answer the door and his wife
told the committee who called on
him that he was too busy to see
them.

ONLY $50 PAST DUE

Martell had paid 5000 on the
car, of which 5000 was paid in
November of 1882. Because he
was 80 days behind on a payment
of $50, Moe seized the car.
While Martell was not mem

Association and the United Farm

Sheridan county and several truck
loads and car loads of farmers
gathered at the Farmers Union
Oil station in Froid. Carl McCabe

In Poplar there were more
farmers from a % mile radius.
Many of them were members of

But suddenly the door swung
open and none of the farmers who
were crowded around it could tell
you just how it happened. Neat
piles of underwear were display
ed on the shelves and these were
soon handed out to those who
needed it. In less than half an
hour the farmers who had need
ed relief for months, who had
waited patiently for weeks for the
Red Cross goods to be handed out,
had at least underwear to wear
under their WORKOUT coats to re-
buff the cold blasts of the Mon

Carrying their underwear under

their faces, the farmers went back

BASICALLY THE SAME
OLD POLICY

Frederick II. Ecker, president Of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, which at the end of 1881
had $181,594,OOO in farm mort
cages, stated that the company is
mot changing its policy of under
taking to do anything new or diff
ferent." This is the policy which
"has been our consistent policy for
the last two years."
When these gentlemen state
that they are not changing their
policy they lie. The farmers have
forced them to make a show of
"leniency". Their statements in
dicate, however, that they have not
changed willingly, and are deter
mined to rob farmers just as they
have in the "past two years" and
more, though they may try to get
different methods to do it.
While this is partial victory
for the farmers, they must not be
lulled to inactivity by it. The in
surance companies are going to
try to get as much out of the farm
ers now without running the dan
ger of losing their total invest
ment at Sears and Roebuck sales.
The farmers must be ready to
react to the next move of these
money sharks which will be
either a concerted drive for Gar
filtration" committees or for pass
age of the Frazier bill or some
similar bill to liquidate their
frozen mortgages.
