Calls for Fig h ting
Unity of Workers
and Farmers ~

indicative Of the growing unity be
tween the workers in the city and
the militant farmers in the country
side in their common struggle against
exploitation, the Trade Union Unity
League, organization Of revolutionary
trade unions, today issued call 70
its members to support the coming
Chicago Conference to be held on
November 1913. The pledge Of sup
port follows:
The National Executive Board OF
the Trade Union Unity League calls
upon its entire membership, the
members OF the American Federation
Of Labor, and the unorganized work
ers to rally to the support Of the
farmers who are fighting against the
robbery inflicted upon them by the
bankers and their Wall Street gov
eminent.
The Trade Union Unity League
also endorses the National Farmers
Conference, to be held in Chicago on
November Is to the Is, at which the
representatives Of the poor working
and oppressed farmers will gather to
discuss their problems and how to,
carry on the fight for their means
to live.
The great masses Of poor and
working farmers are today suffering
from the same Roosevelt recovery"
as are the industrial workers. The
A.AA. agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration) has done exactly for
the farmers the same things that
the NR.A. has done for the industrial
workers. In both cases the RooSe-
welt legislation has resulted in further
squeezing out profits from the poor
toiling masses for the benefit Of the
big capitalists and bankers.
Just as the workers have answered
these attacks with increased strike
struggles, the poor and working farm
ers are answering these attacks thru
the growing farmers strikes.
Just as the Greens and Lewises
are trying to stife the struggles Of
the workers, so the Milo Renos are
trying to crush the struggles of the
farmers.
Just as the Greens and Lewises
stand on the program Of no strikes,
so the Milo Renos, faced with the
struggle Of the farmers, preach to
the farmers paSsiVity, stay-at-home,
against mass picketing.
The bureaucrats OF the Railroad
Brotherhoods, while pretending TO be
in sympathy with the struggles OF the
farmers, refuse to mobilize the rail-
road workers in support of the strik-
ing farmers. They are opposed TO
and fear the solidarity Of the work
ers and farmers. On the other hand.
the Trade Union Unity League fully
supports the struggle Of the farmers
and calls upon the workers every
where to make common cause with
the fighting farmers in defense Of
their common interests against the
attacks of capital. On more than
one occasion the farmers have de-
monstrated their readiness In the
support of the struggle of the work.
ers. Especially in the big miners
strikes, the farmers have given every
assistance to the workers, including
relief. In the interests Of solidarity
of the workers and farmers. the in
terestS of the common struggle, 1t is
necessary that we mobilize the work
ers in the striking areas to support
the farmers thru mass picketing and
thru every other form Of assistance
possible in the struggle against evic-iA
tons, sheriff's sales, etc. And to give
special support TO the struggles Of
the Negro farmers against the feroci-
Gus attacks and lynch terror now be-
ing carried thru against them.
The Trade Union Unity League en-
dorses the Farmers National Confer
ence and calls upon all workers or
CARNATIONS, and in the first place,
upon its own affiliated organizations,
calls upon all workers, organized and
unorganized, TO give full support 70
the successful carrying thru Of the
National Farmers Conference.
We call upon all workers and work
ers' organizations to participate in
meetings where delegates are elected,
thru fraternal representatives. We
call upon workers in cities where the
delegates will come thru to hold
meetings to greet the delegates, &c
support them with food and lodgings.
We call upon all workers organiza-
tions to elect fraternal delegates from
nearby centers. as well as adopt reso-
lutions of greetings, to the Farmers
Conference in Chicago on November
IS to IS, and send them to the Ma
tional Farmers Conference, 2457 w.
