If you've got to have such an officer, don't
you think the Farmers’ Union might have
picked one whose record is not connected with
dubious speculations, misappropriations of
trust-funds, a bursted bank, and nine thou
sand victims?
Lookout, farmer! If the Typographical
Unions were choosing a delegate to represent
them, at any convention whatever, they would
not select a farmer. They would send a
printer. Nobody would expect them to do
anything else.
But the Birmingham convention of the
Farmers’ Union chose an Atlanta printer to
represent the farmers at the Toronto conven
tion of the labor organizations. That's fun
ny, isn't it? Have we not got a single farmer
who is fit to go to Canada and represent the
Farmers" Union?
The Typographical I nions would not ad
mit a farmer into their organization. They
wisely restrict membership to printers. Yet
we find a member of the Typographical
Union high in the councils of the Farmers'
Union and the official delegate of the Farm
ers' Union to a Canadian labor convention.
How does that happen? WATCH OUT.
FARMER!
Hon. Samuel Gompers, of the Federation
of Labor, is keen for the Pearre bill. He
made Bryan subscribe to it. Or, at least, he
bound Bryan so hard and fast that the peer
less dared not answer President Roosevelt,
when the President asked him how he stood
on the Pearre bill.
The Pearre bill proposes to deprive the
courts of the power to protect you in your
business.
Mr. Gompers hates the blacklist, but loves
the boycott. One of these brutal methods is
as bad as the other. In principle they are ex
actly alike.
