indications are that much social
legislation will lbe enacted and with
the overwhelming majority which
the President has In both Houses
there will be little or no delay in
putting the program through. The
danger of the situation, as I see It,
lies in the numerical weakness Of
the minority which cannot muster
enough votes in either house to

not realize that the real cause for
so many New Deal measures hav-

fact that much of it was hastily
prepared by individuals who had
little or no experience in drafting
legislation and that Congress, in
its zeal to obey orders, passed much

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Farmers VS.. Union Labor
From Our Exchanges

Farmers VS.. Union Labor
Union labor not satisfied with the
disturbances it has created in Min
neapolis the past year or two under
the protection of the state and city
administrations, is reaching out and
farmers are now going to get a
taste of it.
While farmers generally have
been following and encouraging the
state administration in it's attitude
toward union labor, possibly when
the farmer comes in contact with
the same conditions faced by indus
try in the large cities, the picture
will be of different hue. We are led
to make this assertion by what is
now transpiring in and around
Minneapolis, as union labor Is now
transferring its activities to far
mers and are going to organize
their co-operatives.
AS will be remembered when the
truckers were striking in Mime
apolis year ago, they held up far
mers trucks and would not let them
deliver their produce to the cities,
and practically shut off the farmers
market. The farmers did not think
much about the matter for the
reason that some of their political
leaders lulled them to sleep.
Election now is over, and the
leaders knowing how easily the
American farmer forgets things
now comes out boldly and says that
union conditions and wages must
prevail in the industries owned and
conducted by the farmer. Last
week there was a near riot at Far.

three or even four are best suited
to bring out your personality. For
example, if beige Is becoming, you
might determine on a lightweight
beige wool dress that has buttons,
Upper fastener and belt of black
or brown pigskin. With this you
would choose a green handbag and
matching fabric gloves. Your shoes
would match the trim of the dress,
and your hat the trim or the dress
itself. If you are having print
dress, you could easily bring in a
fourth color. So, bright flowers
printed on black background
could pick up the red of the print
for the hat, beige for the gloves,
the shoes and purse could be black
and tucked in the purse a neutral
green handkerchief.
If you are getting new things
now or planning to rejuvenate last
years, remember that the new
skirt length is thirteen to fourteen
inches from the floor. This also Is
correct in coats as is the fingertip
length.
But +. one last word on colors.
The more color your accessories,
the greater your fashionableness.
However, it is better to match two
accessories such as gloves with
purse, shoes with hat, hat with
gloves or gloves with shoes than to
have all of the accessories match
as we have done in the past. Don't
be afraid to wear colored gloves or
shoes this year 4. they are tops!
They will be worn by so many peo-
pie that you will not feel conspic-
uouS or extreme.

In closing I should like to dis

Is in the thoughts of thousands of
our citizens It is the proposal to
erect a fitting memorial to our
late great Governor, Floyd B. Oh
son.
I need not tell you about Cover
nor Olson, nor his human and in
tellectual qualities; you all knew
him-most of you personally. Many
of you belong to different political
faith than did Governor Olson. But
regardless of your beliefs, know
that you all admired him for his
rugged, sterling character, his
craftsmanship, his courage, his de-
vction to the cause which he be-
lieved right. The great masses Of
our state loved and adored him; his
name has become symbol in AM
erica for the struggle of the COM
mon man against the forces Of
greed, avarice, and social and econ
omic injustice. He was Minnesota's
first and outstanding citizen, true
champion of the people.
May I suggest formation by you
of an Olson memorial committee to
study and to lay plans, interview
friends of the late Governor who
desire to cooperate in such an un-
dertaking, and report to this ses-
sion of the Legislature. I thank
you.

WEATHER GOEST THOU

Old General Membership got
himself in lather today as he
hoped about picking up cores
pondence about the weather in
various sections. He froze his nose
in Minnesota, warmed his hands in
Kansas, and lost his overcoat in
California. Dadgummit!
From down Kansas way the Cen
eral learned from Bob Rudolph
about Kansas weather. Bob in true
Kansan spirit was lamenting the
cold weather to come. Tempera-
ture stood at something like 26
above and had threatened to go
near zero-and was Kansas cold.
The General nearly swallowed a
kernel Of Kansas wheat when Bob
said 1t had been 65 degrees above
Or the temperature of your kitch-
en-on Christmas Day.
And then from Sunny Cap'
comes word from Frank Stansfield
who violated all laws governing
California weather reports. In fact
Mr.. Stansfield, unwittingly per-
haps, let himself in for what may
be trouble when he violated the
unwritten law of the Californians.
He used the word cold" He said
Il was colder there than usual. But
like a true native son Of the Sun
shine State Frank alibied that 1t
was the SHOWS in the Sierra Madre
mountains that made Los Angeles
cold. Mr.. Stansfield was prompted
to correspond with the General
when he felt concerned about the
Minnesota icy blast.
Away up in the bottle neck of
Idaho, Paul Markson, officer in a
CCC camp talks about the weather,
Nestled in the mountains the camp
Is sheltered and the weather is
mild-at least in comparison to
that in Minnesota said Pam" The
coolest thus far has been 20 above,
and the boys from the Ozarks-
Arkansas-are shivering. These
same boys nearly forgot they were
not kids when they saw snow for
the first time. All available planks

creameries, who take in the milk
from the trucks. After this was
accomplished they point blank re-
fused to accept milk at the plant

send their milk to the creamery by
union trucks.
Farmers Immediately resented
this and 200 strong marched to the
Pennington creamery, tore the
Union button from the workers in
the plant and a near riot resulted.
The farmers said: I'VE can haul
our own milk" to which Secretary
Patrick J. Corcoran, of the Mime
apolis union replied: 1.-THE farmers
can drink their own milk too, may
be. We've got 100 percent union
plants in the Twin Cities. They
might try to find some other mar
ket." And the fight is now on.
A meeting of the Creamery Op-
orators officers was held last week
Thursday and Friday to consider
this union matter, as they realize
that they have a fight on their
hands. There are some four million
union men in these United States
and the encouragement they have
both federal and state, leads them
to believe that they are strong
enough to do what they please, not
only with industry, but also with
the farmer. And still there are
many farmers all over this country
who believes that the interests OF
the farmer and the laboring men
are identical. 1t must be so be-
cause the city politicians, who
needs the farmers votes, tells him
so.-Clarissa Independent.
