Contrasts With Old Plan.
Contrast that with the existing sys-
tenn, established in 1888. In December
after the November elections the old
Congress, full Of defeated members,
comes back and legislates until March T.
when it goes out. The new President
takes Office on that date, but unless he
calls special session, the new Con-
gress does not meet until next Decem-
ber 13 months after election.
The twentieth amendment, however,
goes further to stop gap that has ex-
isted since the country's origin. It
provides for the first time for succession
to the presidency if the President-elect
dies or fails to qualify. The Vice Presi-
dent-elect takes over until Congress
provides for selection of a President,
which it is. given specific right to do,
upon terms it is at liberty to prescribe.
Though ratified with exceptional
rapidity, the twentieth amendment must
!cede speed honors to the twelfth, which
was approved by the States In nine and
half months.
Proposed December -, 1903, it was
ratified by September Is, 1904. That
amendment defined the manner in
which the President and Vice President
are chosen.
The thirteenth amendment, abolish
ing slavery, was ratified about as fast
as the lame duck" change. It took
about ten and q half months, from
February 1, 1865, to December l8 of

San Francisco, Calf, April q.
The strike Of, 1900 agricultural
workers in the East Bay and the
Santa Clara district ended today
when the workers after a strike
meeting Tuesday night voted to
accept wage increases granted by
the ranchers in the pea fields and
return to work. Although the de-
mands of the workers for 80 cents
hamper and recognition of the
union were not won the workers
go back to work with definite
gains as a result of the strike
having raised their wages from the
previous scale of Is and II cents
a hamper to 18 and 20 cents a
hamper.
The workers return in high spirit
determined to organize all ranches
before the main crop is harvested
at the end of May and June when
the fight to win their full demand

The agricultural workers have
BEEN out on strike since April Is
under the militant leadership of
the Agricultural Workers Indus

a splendid unity of Mexican and
Filipino workers and held out If
the face of the most vicious terror
of the bosses. AS the first major

For many years favoritism has
been practised by the different
county commissioners Of st. Louis
county in the distribution of work;
political boosters and friends of
the Commissioners getting prac-
tically all.
The United Farmers League
of st. Louis county began agi-
tatiOn among the farmers to
fight against this discrimina-
ton, to demand recognition of
their own elected Work Com
mittees to be in charge of the
distribution of county work.
This is the only guarantee
that work would be distributed
equally regardless of political
or religious differences, TAX
ing first into consideration
those most in need.
Mr.. Victor Koski, running for
county commissioner, used this
issue, of recognizing the farmers
elected Work Committees with the
authority to distribute the county
work, to win their votes. After
Koski got elected commissioner he
began to appoint his own commit
tees from among his own political
boosters. However In the locali-
ties where the farmers had elected
their Work Committees before he
had time to appoint his own, he
recognized them insofar as they
carried out his policy.
COMMITTEE SATISFIES
The Markham farmers demand
ed full authority for their elected
Work Committee without any die
tation from Kosli. An elected
Work Committee of five functioneC
for one month to the satisfaction
of practically all farmers in the
community. Kosli wanted farm
ers to enlarge the committee tt
nine members, which was done a
a mass meeting attended by the
great majority of the Markham
farmers, including farmers of al
political opinions. When the en-
larged Committee was elected
Koski ignored it, and set up |
committee of his own politica
boosters.
The farmers through their cleo
ted Work Committee appealed t
Kosh time and again to fulfill hi
prediction promise OF recogniz
ing their elected Work Committee
He refused and stated, like an au
tocrat that he was commissioner
and that he would -un the Sixtl
Commissioners District just as h
pleased. He began TO cesignat'

elements began to waver. Some of
the local young men who had NOT
had a job for long period began
to act as strike breakers. Koski
had to use outside elements most
ly for his strike breaking.
The latest attempt to break
the strike was Gov. Floyd b.
Olson, sending his representa-
tive Captain Vail 70 the Bu-
reau of Criminal Apprehen-
hensiOn. Using threats Of the
militia, deportation, arrests,
ETC., this representative of Gov.
Olson tried further to terror
ize the farmers in giving up
their struggle.
While Koski was making vigor-
GUS attempts to carry thru road
work in Markham in order to
break the strike, very little work
was being done in other parts of
the Sixth district.
The shooting, together with the
rumors that the strike breakers
were armed had its effects upon
the strikers. The farmers rea-
lized that their forces were not
sufficient to meet Commissioner
Koski's attacks, that it is neces-
sary to broaden out the struggle
turnout the Sixth Commissioners
District for equal distribution of
work and for other forms of re-
lief and thus compel him to &C
cede to their demands.
STRUGGLE NOT ENDED
The strike was called off April
20 by a unanimous vote of 104
farmers, with the understanding
that this does not end the struggle
The demand for equal distribution
of work must be linked up with
the general struggles of the farm
ers for relief and must be broad
ened out to include broader mas
SEES turnout the Sixth District.
The strike was conducted on
a United Front basis, farmers
of various political and other
differences took an active
part.
Attempts have been made t,
brand this strike as a purely Com
pnunist affair. This arises from
the fact that the capitalist pres
wants to give the impression b
the public, that it is a small grou1
of Communists who are carryin,
on the strike, who want to Wi
favors for themselves, instead o
being a struggle for the interest
