Organizing the Farmers

The announcement that the drive
by John L. Lewis to organize dairy
farmers soon will be extended to
dairymen in the Washington milk
shed lends added interest locally to
controversy which is threatening to
assume national Importance.
1t is as yet too early to form any
valid opinions as to the merits of the
claims advanced by the contending
parties. In general way, however,
the basic issue has been drawn.
The unionization drive got under
way in Flint, Michigan, where the
Dairy Farmers Union. organized
under the supervision of District so
Of the United Mine Workers, is de-
manding a closed-shop contract
under which twenty seven distribu-
tors would be compelled to buy their
milk from union dairymen. If sue
ceSSful, this would mean that farmers
remaining outside the union would
find themselves without any place
to sell their milk. The stated objec-
tive Of the drive is to raise the price
OF milk, which means, of course, the
price ultimately to be paid by the
consumers. Apparently there is no
intent to organize the dairy farm
workers nor to secure for them wage
and working conditions comparable
to those demanded by MIR. Lewis in
industry. Superficially, at least, this
casts the mine union chief in the
rather novel role of organizing en-
ployers, although an attempt to or
ganize the farm workers may come
later.
The established farm organizations
are preparing for a bitter fight
against the Lewis undertaking, and
leaders of this group are expected to
appear before the House Judiciary
Committee Friday to testify concern
ing the organization drive, which
they describe as racket" The
spearhead of this opposition move
ment Is a group known as Free
Farmers, Inc, headed by Herbert w.
voorhees,, who Is also president Of
the New Jersey Farm Bureau. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Voorhees,, this move
ment by Mr.. Lewis represents a last
effort on the latter's part to restore
himself to power. Every thinking
man must realize" he said, that if
Lewis gains control of the basic fooG
supplies of the Nation he will control
the Nation"
Spokesman for the dairy union de-
scribe these charges as vicious and
unfounded. Kathryn Lewis, daugh-
ter OF John L. Lewis, has said that
the union was "the best friend of the
farmer because we can help them get
what they are entitled to-a fair price
for their milk"
With respect to these claims and
counterclaims, the consuming public
probably will be content to adopt a
wait-and-See attitude. If Mr.. Lewis
and his supporters should succeed in
their undertaking, however, the pub
lie will be presented with a spectacle
to which no one can be indifferent.
The present plan is restricted to the
organization of some 5000, 900 dairy
men. But Ora E. Gasaway, president
OF District so, has made it plain that
ultimately he hopes to organize all
classes of farmers. In the event of
success in such venture, the unor-
ganized consumers would find them
selves in an unenviable position.

OF imagination he can and does
picture the unlimited conquest OF
circumstance. 1t rests in his power
to make existence comfortable and
secure. Yet. paradoxically, he builds
the engines Of his own annihilation.
Each Of the many miracles OF his
achievement is perverted to fatal
ends.
The Titanic was symbol Of this
frightful contradiction. She was a
glorious example Of human gov

for her control lacked proper COM

Wants National Colors Shown
In Official Sequence.

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is gratifying to note the spirit Of
patriotism displayed by the various es-
Establishments throughout the city. I
have been attracted particularly to the
signs and slogans printed on placards
and stationery bearing red. white and
blue stripes. But, unfortunately, have
observed that in practically every in
stance the red is on top, the white in the
center and the blue at the bottom.
According to the United States Flag
Association, the red should be at the
bottom, the white in the center and the
blue at the top. Also. when the vertical
stripes appear, the red should be at the
right, the white in the center and the
blue at the left.
