Farmers at Meeting
Try A. ny

Astoria, Ore, JAN. 80. (deTayed) !
The fear of the Oregon bosses
of the united struggle of workers
and farmers for immediate relief
from their starvation conditions
was expressed in a bitter attack
made by Mr.. Miclde, Dairy and
Food Inspector, against the State |
Hunger March, at the Annual
Stockholders meeting of the Lower
Columbia Dairy Association, held
here, Jan. II.
In his speech the reactionary Mr..
Mickle said, II spoke to a repre-
sentative in Salem last week, and
the legislator said, "when the
army of hunger marchers crowded
into the galleries of the state lig-
islature the atmosphere was so
tense that It made my knees trem-
ble." This march although only a
beginning was such mighty dem
onstration of the workers and the
farmers of the state that it put the
legislators to thinking.
WHOSE BOAT?
Mr.. Mickle went on to say,
"These hunger marchers are rock
ing the boat, and are therefore
causing others to lose confidence"
In other words he meant that
the hungry workers and farm
ers should stay home and starve
to death peacefully and say moth
ing. Mr.. Mickle overlooked the
fact that whenever boat gets SC
rotten that it is incapable of car
ing for the majority of its paseen-
gers, the worker and farmers that
have by their sweat and labor Gre
! ated that boat, then it is the right
of those workers and farmers t.
build a new boat or system in it't
I place which will guarantee a liveli
hood for themselves and thei
families.
NATIONALISTIC SOFT SOAP
If This politician tried further t.
N softsoap the farmers at the meet
Il ing by adding, "In this district

= Scandinavian in origin. Last yea

"a and Norway and was proud to Sc
10 the wonderful things that the
At have accomplished in their ow

m men, should be proud to have tn
a. worthy farmers among your popr
ad lation instead of the 'scum G
n Southern Europe"
of MI. Mickle, in referring to Il
a "scum of Southern Europe" ev
K IDENTIFY meant the workers of Il
Soviet Union, but he careful
avoided saying it directly.
TO PREVENT UNITY
to Here Mr.. Mickle plainly show
DIS his colors as a bitter chauvini
,p- of the worst sort. His purpose
He the purpose of all bosses servan
he is to try and create race hatr

Southern Europeans, so that ii
