CIO Urges
Cooperation
Pamphlet Cites
8 Of 10 Farmers
Work In City

Cooperation between labor
union members and farmers
must become a real force in
America" in order to improve
the living standards of all
groups in the nations popula-
ton, the CIO emphasized today
in a new pamphlet.
Entitled "To The Farmers
From His Customers" the pam
phlet was prepared by the CIO
Department of Education and
Research.
From Joe DOakes, Jr.
The pamphlet is in the form
of letter from Joe Doakes, Jr.,
who works on an assembly
line, to his Dad - and the
chances are his letter goes to
an RID route out Valley Cen
ter, or Pretty Prairie, U. S. A"
1t notes that while in 1880,
only one American in ten had
left the farm, now eight out of
ten have come to town to work
"You can change mans way
of making his living" the
pamphlet says, "but not the be-
liefs he grew up with. So labor
looks at the farmers as just the
other part of the family
"Labor's pay is fundamental
to both labor and the farmer,
the CIO pamphlet asserts,
Stories about labor's big wages
usually turn out to be freak
cases. They are like the story of
the farmer who makes $4,000
on one crop. Farmers have to
figure on average yields and
prices, and labor on average
wages"
For Fair Profits
Labor believes in fair profits
for industry and has steadily
favored fair profits for farmers, "
the publication continues. Fair
profits and good wages keep
purchasing power flowing be-
tween farm and city"
when profits become erorbit-
ant and wages so low that work
ers cannot buy the essentials,
it becomes dangerous to farmers,
to labor and to America. If
purchasing power drops beyond
the safety point, we will find
ourselves spinning dizzily in the
