Cheek of the board of directors, fol
lowing a board meeting here.
1.-THE working farmers of this coun-
try, now engaged in extending agri
cultural production for the common
cause, see that our fate is closely tied
up with steadily expanding Industrial
production" the message said.
"We working farmers believe that
the overwhelming majority of indus
trial workers and their leaders are as
periodically eager as we are to con-
tribute without interruption the best
efforts of which they are capable in
this crucial period"
The farmers group charged that
much of the public clamor" about
strikes has covered up an attack on
labor's rights by big business groups
anxious to undermine the workers
organizations.
Legislation like the Smith bill runs
counter to the fact that morale can
not be legislated into existence, and
this legislation is, on the contrary,
bound to lower the production morale
of millions of workers." Patton and
Cheek declared.
