Midwest Farmer-Labor Alliance, in
the nature of large committee of
individuals n d organizations f
farmers and trade unionists who
mean business.
For two days grass roots men and
women from the farms and rank and
file trade unionists sunk their teeth
into the gristly inter-related prob
lens of shrinking worker purchasing
power and declining farm prices.
They came out with an anti-depres-
sion program which will be a back
fire for the economic prairie fire, the
heat from which they already feel.
They were determined to prevent
a recurrence of long city breadlines
and rotting farm SURPRISES"
The conference was the high point
in farmer-labor relations. 1t came
as a result of much hard work by a
number of farm and trade union
leaders to sell the idea to both farm
ers and labor organizations that
without farmer-labor understanding
and cooperation, especially during
SitCliOHS, DUN groups were DIT JHe
mercy of the large monopoly employ
ing interests. The farm relations

Workers and the Farm Equipment
Workers, started in 1915, set the pat
tern for the whole American labor
movement. Even some of the poll
ticians pay lip service to farmer-la-
Dor unity nowadays.
Again and again the delegates
blasted the idea expounded by big
business that farmers should be sus-
picious of the men and women who
work in mine and factory and who
buy the farmers beef, pork and
wheat. They pointed out how a
"hate doctrine" was used to divide
farmers and workers. Through a
million dollar propaganda campaign
farmers were told that high prices
for farm operating equipment were
caused by high wages and in the |
cities workers and housewives were
told that farmers waxed fat because
of high food prices in the stores 4.

In view of the fact that Olsen had
gambling equipment in his posses
sion, and that, by the listing under
the mortgage, it may be safely as
sumed that Hole likewise has such
equipment, the question has arisen
Isn't this sufficient grounds for a
thorough investigation by enforce
ment officers of the Western Bar
and for the possible filing of charges
against the new proprietor!
The delay that so conveniently as
sisted the purifying process OF paper
transfer of ownership of the West
ern Bar creates doubt when COM
pared with the summary treatment
of violators arrested at the same
time. Why is this?
Also, another thing that is hard
for Billings people to understand IS:
Why should a reputable bank like the
Midland accept such mon durable"
goods as gambling equipment as Sc
curity on mortgage? Is not such
equipment poor risk in view of the
statewide campaign to cleanup
gambling? Does not this kind OF a
transaction cast an unpleasant re-
Election upon the usually high stand
ards ordinarily associated with bank
ing institutions?

Administration, Congress, Trying To
Wiggle Out of Pledges
One farmer said the way the adj
ministration was acting reminded
him of a team of horses that leaned
only lightly into the collars, just
enough to tighten the traces and
make you think they were pulling,
but still didn't dig in and throw their
weight into it. The conference made
no bones about how 'labor was
promised the repeal of the Taft
Hartley law and the re-enactment of
the Wagner act, but after months
congress and the administration are
doing their utmost to wiggle out of
their pledge. Likewise on price sup
ports, the farmers are being told that
action must be delayed until 1850.
All other ''New Deal' and Fair Deal
programs are being scuttled by the
dangerous bi-partisans that operate
in America today"
The whole farmer-labor unity pro-
gram of the new alliance revolves
around the central issue of peace and
abundance. The conference resolu-
ton pointed up the fact that Gas
depression looms at home big bust
ness is riding rough shod over the
civil rights of the people and is pro-
