eialfy do we urge farmers in the
drought area in the middle west

"This workers congress will re-
present millions of people and
thousands Of workers and farmers
organizations. It will be the most !
important and representative con-
ference of the suffering people |
ever held in the United States.
Therefore. we farmers must take
advantage of this opportunity to
gain support for our bill, the Far !
mers' Emergency Relief bill, which !
is. erdorsed by many farm organ
izations and is the only real farm
ers' relief bill ever written. Our
farmer delegates should therefore
come prepared to stay a fourth
day in Washington for a special
session to bring pressure to bear for
the introduction and adoption of
the Farmers Emergency Relief
bill.
eve farmers must support the
fight for the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance bill
which was introduced in the 73rd .

surance for the poverty-stricken
farmers; not only that, it will also
put money into the hands of the
city workers so they will be able
to buy, thereby opening up mar
kets for the produce of the farm
eTs. Therefore, we must look at
The adoption Of this bill as a part
Of our struggle for relief for farm
