GET OUT AND MEET THE FARMERS

40 years helping farmers and city
workers see their mutual interests
and the need for working together
politically.
Almost all of our problems are the
same, though they are sometimes told
in slightly different language. Both
farmers and city workers want free
dom-freedom to live, to work and
play; freedom to think, to speak and
pray; and both want freedom from
want and fear. They both want Sc
curity.
! But though we both seem to want
the same things for ourselves and our
children, there is still big job to be
done in understanding one another.
AS | travel around the country-and
I've done lot of it lately for National
Citizens PAC-I see how dangerous
this lack of understanding can be.
1 know how it is promoted, and
think it's time we all recognized there
are forces here, as elsewhere, who
use the Hitler tactic of divide and
conquer.
Farmers, like city folk, are saddled
with reactionary press. Most of the
rural papers-at least 1000 of them
use the news and editorial releases
sent them by the National Association
of Manufacturers. Just like the big
city papers, they try to undermine or
gained labor. They applaud the con-
gress when it gives business 5 billion
dollar tax rebates, and cry at the same
time that breaking the chains of the
Little Steel formula" or making 65c
the minimum hourly wage would be
inflationary.
In the city papers, workers read
that subsidies to farmers are some
thing sinister, and that the worker
is paying the bill. Workers also read
the lie that farmers are conservatives,
and they get the idea that farmers
are enemies. The fact is, farmers,
except the owners of farm factories,
are by and large progressive
In order to promote better under
standing between workers and farm
ers, | would like to make some sug
gestions to my trade union friends:

relatives on a farm somewhere should

HIGH WAGES
SHOWN myth
BY SURVEY

NEW YORK.-"More than 100000
of the 2S,000,000 workers in private
non-agricultural employment, exclu-
sive of domestic servants and profess
sional workers, are today earning less
than 40 cents an hour. More than
| 100000 are paid less than SO cents
an hour, and 10,000,0 900 or more than
one-third of all workers receive less
than IS cents an hour"
These are figures which tell the
sorry plight Of Americas underpaid
workers, who during the boom peri
cd" of the war, were unable to earn
living wage. They were compiled
by the special subcommittee of the
senate's committee on education and
labor whose study of the wage prob
lem has led to the introduction of
an amendment to the Fair Labor
Standards ct making the s.65 mini
mum wage the law of the land.
Examination of the testimony be-
fore the committee and the realiza-
ton that many workers will be forced
to take low-paying jobs during the
current scramble for employment
points up sharply the need for imme-
diate enactment of the S.65 cent mini
mum wage, CLIO Political Action Com
mittee officials declared this week.
Here is some of the testimony they
pointed out:
Mrs Irene Gillespie, pants maker
of Martinsville, Va, who earns As
cents an hour and makes SIS per
week Asked what she would do if
she received the IS cent minimum, she
replied: 81 would first try to have the
children's tonsils removed; next,
would try to get them a little more
milk"
Mrs. Ruth Deckert, tomato sorter
of Elwood, Ind, who told the commit
tee that when her 11-year-old boy fell
and broke his arm, they could not
afford to pay the doctor for resetting
it. my boy helped me pay for it.
He picked tomatoes in the field for
the farmer to pay for his broken arm"
Mrs. Deckert also said that she had
been married IS years, and in that
time her husband never had a new
suit of clothes.

cause it is the only room with heat

this: my youngest girl, she's now,

does want to learn to play the piano
