Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 49, This
morning Parmenter, Milo Reno's
president of the Nebraska Holiday
Association, crowded the platform
at the Nebraska Farmers Relief
meeting and spoke for nearly an
hOuc in an attempt to split the
conference anG to boost himself.
The majority of Parmenter's list
enels laughed at him. After Par
menter ha6 finished WITT his often
repeated talk, Tony Rosenberg, the
vice president of the Nebraska
Holiday Association, took the plat
form snd explained the nature ard
Eee.;, Of a united front Parmen-
ter having failed to sw..g tire

MOTHER BLOOR DEFENDS
BENTLEY

Then she WENT On to defend
Lewis Bentley of Pennsylvania.
She pointed out Bentley was a
destitute farmer, and had gained
the confidence of the farmers suf-
ficiently at the Farmers National
Relief Conference to be made a
member of the National Commit
Iet 4 Action.
Harry Lux, of Lincoln, who has
been ONE of the leading organizers
of the conference, followed Mother
Bloor on the floor and denounced
those who would discourage and
divide the rank and file.
''They did not ask my political
opinions when they drafted me for
the war. Why are they so inter-
ested nOw?" he asked.
He said that it was absolutely
ridiculous TO have leaders of the
toiling farmers receiving $4,000
per year for that work, and that
such men did not have the farmers
interests at heart.
DELEGATES UNITED
The enthusiastic applause called
out by the speeches of Bloor and
Lux showed that the delegates
were strong for solidarity.
After the speeches various dele
gates related the stories of how
they had stopped foreclosures o.
had made two-bit bids at sales
One farmer illustrated the farm

He stressed the fact that tn
delegates must not think that dis

were outlined to a littl ebunch b
Nebraska, but that such peopl
were all over the country. A mo

greetings through Bentley to tn
Pennsylvania farmers.

SEE CONDITIONS OF

The two delegates from the con-
ference who were elected to at
tend the regular meeting Of the
Unemployed Council saw for them
selves the conditions of the unem-
ployed, and realized that their
struggle was linked up with that
of the city toiIers. AS one farm
err put it, speaking to an audience
outside of the conference: "Our
products rot on the farms, while
there are people in the city here
starving. And then they tell us
there is over production"
At this time messenger brot

Committee. After very little DIS

A motion was made and carried
to call Parmenter DO the platform
to apologize for his attacks ON the
conference, but Parmenter was not
present.
A call was made for an invited
delegate, Parks, of the Lincoln
Workers Unemployed Council, to
address the assembly. He pointed
out that the unemployed were fac
ing starvation, misery and eviction

way they could gain anything was
by mass pressure. He showed
that the Council had worked hard

AVOID REAL ISSUES
Avoiding the real issues that con
front the impoverished masses of
Nebraska, this conference accom-
