These are a few of the bills (by
their very introduction slanderous of

The flood of them is not diminishing.
It is more than interesting to note
that they are almost all introduced

poll tax democrats.

Contrast the raving and ranting,
and the reams of propaganda being
spouted and printed on behalf of these
disruptive bills with the fact that the
resolution to continue the Tolan COM
mittee Oh. R. 400 which has done
more than any other group to point
the way to maximum war production,
lies buried in the poll-tax-dominated

labor was supporting the McNary-
Haugen bill, organized business, act
ing nationally through the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce and locally
through the Minneapolis Chamber OF
Commerce, was violently opposing the
measure.
The Farmers Union is grateful for
the active and continued support OF
organized labor in all major battles
waged by the Union in behalf of the
working farmers of America.
There are three major organized
economic groups in the United States:
a. Organized business.
b. Organized labor
c. Organized agriculture.
If there were to be an alliance be-
tween any two of these groups, just
which two groups do you think have
most in common on the national legis-
lative front at Washington?
Organized business has OPPOSED
every liberal program in the interest
of agriculture which has been before
the congress.
Organized labor has actively SUP
PORTED every progressive program
designed to benefit agriculture since
the McNary- Haugen bill fight began
in 1928
Farmers Union officials and. the
heads of the three general labor or
CARNATIONS, CLIO, AFL and the railway
brotherhoods in conference with Pres
ident Roosevelt late in 1912, agreed
to ask no more than parity prices for
farm products, the labor officials at
the same time consenting to the stab
ilization of wages. All of the above
named groups have thus far kept their
pledges to the President.
