IMITATION: "Whereas the first
result of the initiation was to benefit
middlemen, spectators and gamblers
in farm and other products and to re-
duce the purchasing power of wages;
and, whereas, the only reason for in

by farmers for farm products; and,
we, therefore, condemn as unsound
and unjust any attempts to initiate
prices to the consumers first, while
merely hoping that wages will go up
afterward, and that the farmers will
be able to get higher prices from the
middlemen and the gamblers in farm
products"
