Cheer Canadian Farmer
The unity demonstrated at n.
conference did not stop at natioD.l
boundaries. A delegate from t5s
Farmers Unity League of Canada
speaking in the name of inte,n.
tional solidarity of toiling farmers
was uourdly applauded.
"This is a time, "he declared
when there are no county lines
no state lines, no national lines

years. Hundreds of farmers had

town they have torn the hair Of

The leaders Of the Grange and the
cooperatives help put our best

"Only the Communist Party
helps US farmers fight for our

and for cancellation of all secured
debts"
Women and Youth
There was another kind of unity
apparent at the conference, the
unity between the men and the
womenfolks. There were As wO
men delegates present, as against
three at the first conference a year
ago. The women held a special
meeting and drafted a special
resolution on the necessity for wO-
men joining in the fight against
the forces of exploitation and rob

The young farmers were there
too, and held their special session

food and crops in storage, in ware
houses and on farms, at the ex-
pense of the government"
The conference restated the
slogan of the militant farm move
ment against foreclosures and evic-
tons, and added:
eve demand that evicted and
dispossessed farmers who have
been forced to move to poorer
places be reinstated on their farms
and in their homes at the expense
of the government"
Attack Middleman's Profit
In contrast to the slogan of the
farmers misleaders who ask only
for higher prices to the farmers
the conference made direct at
tack on the huge profits of the
nliddlemen, food trusts and specu'
lators, by demanding higher prices
to the farmers and lower retail
prices, at the expense of the mid
die spread.
The question of taxes came for.
ward as it does whenever distress.
ed farmers get together. But in
stead Of the farm program Of the
old line farm organizations and
politicians which ask only for g
general reduction in taxes on land
the conference demanded tax ex.
emption for ruined and impover.
ished farmers, as well as a reduc.
ton in taxes for the middle strata
of farmers. For the rich farmers
as for the land companies, banks
and mortgage holders, the confer.
ence demanded an increase in the
taxes.
This was a sure indication thai
the conference represented the ex
plotted and impoverished sections
of the farm population, and thai
it was fighting in the interests Of
these farmers. This was again
demonstrated in the demand for il:
substantial reduction in cash ant
crop rents for tenant farmers
"The farmers in any communit.
are the logical ones to determin
unitedly the extent of LEGAL reduc
tons in rent" the resolution
stated.
Solidarity With Negro
Farmers
The entire conference was a in
spring display of the deep-going
solidarity of Negro and whit
farmers. In the program of de.
mands, this was again demonstrat
ed in the special demand for tn
complete cancellation of AL
debts of the sharecroppers, bot
Negro and white, and for the
abolition of the vicious system O
| oppression of the Negro people.
1--WE demand an end to all OF
preston Of Negroes" said tn
resolution adopted, "Jim Crowisn
chain gangs, the landlord stor
system and debt slavery, and fc
the right of the Negro farmers
sell their own crops where the
please. We will fight the New
Deal program of eviction of shar
troopers"
Call to United Action
In closing the program of a.
ton, the will of the entire col
ference was written to these burr
ing words:
I'VE call upon the toiling farm
ers to join with the agriculture
AMI industrial workers, Negro ar
white, native and foreign, to g

PRODUCTION FALLING
AS DOLLAR DECLINES
SAYS COMMERCE DEPT

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In spite
of an upward turn in steel produc-
ton and electric power output, the
trend of most production statistics
continues downward, according to
the weekly survey of business con-
ditions made public Nov. Is by the
Dept. of Commerce. Commercial
failures were reported increasing.
The Annalist, the bankers Off
cial information sheet, reports
frankly that while the wholesale
commodity prices are rising, the
increase was not in proportion to
the decline in value Of the dollar
In terms of gold, wholesale prices
declined sharply.
This is another illustration OF
how initiation adds burdens to the
workers and farmers by Increased
retail prices, at the same time
getting lower prices for his pro-
ducts in the world markets.

says: "Boy, we won't waste any
time here. We didn't in jail. Judge
Kohout (his name means rooster
in Bohemian) thought he'd put a
paddock and rock chain our tongue
and muscles. He's got another
guess coming. Why, they've torn
up the transcript of our trials and

Negro Choppers Talk
There are Negro troopers from
the South, talking about conditions
with white farmers. A member
of the Farmers Protective Asso-
citation is glad to talk for "the
paper" He sharecrops IA acres
The troopers have been compelled
to plow under cotton, but tn,
checks have come only to the land
lords.
"They don't want us to raise
corn so that we have to go to
their stores for food. They don't
want charitable organizations
from outside to help us, so that
we1l depend on them, the land
lords. Then they'll feed as a
little cOrRbread, biscuit and salt
meat. The landlords say you got
to keep the troopers poor. It's
like with the hound dog, keep
him starved and he'll hunt better
for you"
AT the opening of the confer
ence you can see the farm youtl
and the militant farm women pre-
pared to do their work. Here

Conference SideIights
By Ben Field

One of the delegates is John Rose
of Michigan, owner of a 120-acre
farm in Brooks township. Framed
up for carrying a "hilden weapon
with intent to do bodily HARM"

his credentials, says: 1--WE also

from their mornings. They kept
me A days in jail in Michigan.
Still a little weak on my pins.
They tried to lock us all up for
leading the fight against evic-
tons and foreclosures. The
farmers made them release me.
Drove DOWN here in cast-irOn
hurry and drove the car in the
snow over a 250-feOt embank-

Conference Hall HUNS
The conference hall huns like a
hive full of bees, with the dust of
a thousand fields. In overalls,
sheepskin coats, stocking caps,
their faces glowing from snow and
sun like Goals of fire. Here is
Springer, Vireland, New Jersey,
one of the lenses of his spectacles
is broken. "Can't buy me glasses
so long as the government is rid

from South Jersey are here so
that we won't have to pay people

of one farmer who was found with
his wife and seven children at Their
