Hitler Was Also a Great 'Liberator'
Speaking of the cry of reactionaries
that this congress has liberated Ia

reminded him of the efforts of another
great 'liberator', one Adolph Hitler:
Hitler liberated the people to put
them under the yoke of fascism'"
Turning to our current initiation, he
accused monopolistic interests of
causing people to believe labor was
the cause of initiation. He then gave
several examples of gross profiteering
by major corporate monopolies in the
months since they managed to have
their congressional colleagues kill
price controls.

mary purpose was to ensure

cure enactment of the grossly
unfair "carry-back" provisions
in the tax law of 1912 whereby
the government guaranteed corpora
lions postwar profits during the re-
conversion period at least equal to
the average of the five years prior to
the war period. This "carry-back''
provision, as claimed by labor at the
time, and proven by the course of
events during 1916, amounted to the
United States government financing
"strike-breaking" by such corporations
as us. Steel, General Motors, General
Electric, International Harvester, etc.,
who for months refused to bargain
in good faith with their employees for
badly needed pay raises. This lack
of good faith, buttressed by the gen.

were the real reasons why the work
ers of many major industries had to
strike a year and a half ago.

Eastern Flu Leader Speaks
Another top notch speaker at the
convention was Mrs Frances Leber,
director of education of the eastern
division of the Farmers Union.
Mrs. Leber, in describing the plight
of eastern truck garden farmers de-
scribed how the powerful A & P food
chain had cornered the markets of
New York and New Jersey, and had
so depressed prices that farmers were
forced to pillow under much of this
years crop. This price squeeze has
provided the basis for a leaps and
bounds growth of the eastern Farmers
Union, since truck producers are be-
ginning to realize the need for
strong marketing organization to cope
with the A & P's tight control over
the wholesale market She also
pointed out how farmers and labor
lnionists had set up temporary pro-
1ucer-consumer markets at consider
