MARCH 4th—THE DAY OF STRUGGLE FOR UNEMPLOYM | ENT INSURANCE! Wisconsin Farmers Come to Grips with Milk Trusts | By E. G., CLARKE. ILWAUKEE, Wis—The Wisconsin milk str is rapidly develop- ing into one of the greatest farm strike in the history of the United States. The strike is led by the Wis- consin Co-operative Milk Pool Assc~ ciation—originally a smali farmers group that has grown with great rapidity during the course of the | strike. This group is led by Walter | Singler, Shiocton farm leader and | president of the pool. The imediate demand of the strik- ing farmers is $1.40 for 100 pounds of milk—less than 3 cents a quart. At the present time they receive 60 | cents a hundred Ibs—a little more | than 1 cent a quart. Other demands | are 40 cents a pound for butter fat, | cheese 1812 cents a pound against the present 814 cents; butter 33 cents | against 1814 cents at present. The retail price until recently was | 6 cents a quart; the state board of | markets and agriculture then issued jan order raising the retail price to |8 cents a quart and grocers, etc. ; Were arrested for selling for less— | meanwhile the farmers received not | penny more for milk—the dairies | taking an additional 2 cents or 7 j cents on the quart 11,000 PICKET | ON FIRST DAY, Wisconsin is ranked as the second | largest dairy state in the U. S. A, —the picketing farmers claim it is the largest at present. The strike began on Feb. 15 when eleven thou- sand farmers began picketing in Outagamie, Washington, Price, Ash- | land and Rusk counties where the pool had the greatest strength at the time of the first strike call. an ae ‘WO of the largest farm organi- zations in the state are boy- cotting the strike, though the rank’ and file of these two groups, The Wisconsin Pure Milk Producers’ co- operative, and the Milwaukee Co- | Operative Milk Producers’ Associa- tion, are rapidly deserting the ranks of these organizations and coming | over to Wisconsin Co-operative Milk Pool Association. The Wisconsin Farm Holiday Association which claims 100,000 members has refused to call a strike as yet. Flying squads of farmers and farmers’ wives, went from farm to farm urging farmers to join the strike. Mass meetings, attended by thousands of farmers, are held daily at schoolhouses, county churches, etc DEFY ORDER FOR “PEACEFUL PICKETING.” Singler gave orders that the first five days of the strike there should be peaceful picketing, but the farm- ers on the first day of the strike took matters in their own hands ‘in their efforts to prevent trucks going through. ‘The Borden company of New York, which owns extensive interests in [ Wisc., was one of the points of con- centration by the farmers, This combine dictates from New York the price of more than 90 per cent of the milk sold in Wisconsin. Other points of attack were the Gridley and Luick dairies of Milwaukee, Gehl’s, Cedarburg and other dairies upstate.

Bragarnick first conferred with the dairy owners and then with Singler but failed in reaching any agreement with Singler as far as is known, and as is borne out by subsequent events, sae ie \N the second day 20 more cheese factories were forced to close, and dairies up-state were receiving no more than 50 per cent of their usu-l supply of milk—some closed down entirely because only a truck or two succeeded in getting through to them. County boards began sec- retly to appropriate “in case an emergency arises.” Farmers began using rail ties, logs, | ete. across the highways, and Peter Stark, president of the Outagamie Milk and Produce Co. was roughly handled by some pickets when he attempted to rescue a truck. Some dairies were secretly making efforts to break the strike by paying as high as $1.75 a hundred for milk. The strike front broadened and pi- ckets began appearing in. many other counties. Dairies that had been receiving 50,000 pounds of milk a day were getting but 1,500 pounds through, and practically all the cheese factories were closed down in the central part of the state. FARMERS BEAT UP BOSSES’ THUGS. On the third day several scab truck drivers were beaten up as well as sheriffs and the Chief of Police, Harry Macklin, of New London, The American Legion deputized 30 to accompany the trucks, cece 1 Cir Borden dairies began to be hit very heavily.

Many residents of | the city joined the farmers in this demonstration. Police began appearing through- out the state, armed with rifles and shot-guns. Adjt. Gen. Ralph Immell appeared in the center of the strike area, making preparations undoubt- edly for the calling out of the mili- tia, but giving out the alibi that he was “just visiting friends.” Col. N. M. Schantz was seen going about the southern parts of the state. ‘The pickets were now picketing 24 hours a day, burning huge bon-fires along the roads at night and push- ing burning logs across the roads to stop trucks and cars. TEAR GAS USED BY DEPUTIES On Feb. 20 all highways leading into the city were heavily picketed. Deputies used tear gas and five farmers were arrested for “unlawful assembly.” | Farmers immediately gathered | outside of the jail, demanding the release of their comrades. Railroads are being carefully watched and when a freight is discovered carry- ing milk, the farmers threaten “the train crew and succeed in getting the car detached and left in the sta- tion. Many cars and trucks have been wrecked that have tried to evade the pickets, windshields smashed and sides wrecked, the farmers meeting force with force. o 8 6 INGLER is a very shrewd and clever man and the farmers and workers must watch him with vigil- ance so that he doesn’t betray them. He has accepted the aid of the Communist Party in organizing the strike but does not want this known -By Burek publicly. On the fifth day of the strike the Milwaukee Unemployed Councils made arrangements for farmers’ trucks to be sent into the city on Feb. 21 and pick up several hundred members of the Unemployed Coun- cil to help strengthen the picketing in Milwaukee county, ‘The U. C, members, being the vet- erans of many battles with the Mil- waukee socialist police force, will teach the farmers in this territory that they can and must be as mil- itant as their comrades further up- state. The farmers feed them well and give them plenty of milk. The U. C. members point out that the city workers must not suffer due to the strike-or increase in wholesale prices but their common enemy must be crushed—the capitalists and their trusis and food combines, j SUBSCRIPTION RATES: oy Mail everywnere: pani ee eee Sh a ae a a ERE A ae I ee eo crowd soon. altioted) @ police- man was summoned and the whole throng pushed its way thru the gate into the garden, “Stephan” ‘was one of the crowd. “Don’t touch anything,” shouted the frightened policeman, blowing his whistle every now and then. Other policemen arrived on the scene. When the officer of that beat ar- rived, he took charge. “Wow! What a battle this must have been!” He ordered the policeman to clear the garden, stationed several policemen in front of the gate, and went to telephone the district captain of police. The latter ar- rived half an hour later. “Nothing is to be touched until the examining magistrate arrives,” he instrycted the policeman of the beat, re-entered his carriage and drove to the police station to com- municate with the chief of police by ’phone. “Stephan” brought us the news and immediately returned. Meanwhile the rescued men were all fast spproaching the frontier on the different trains they had taken. eine eter T= gendarmes finally arrived at the vegetable garden at about nine o'clock. After carefully scru- tinizing every bit of evidence found lying about in the yard, the gen- darme colonel, who was in charge of the investigation, approached the prison van. He jerked at the ‘tandle of the door, but it resisted. “Get a locksmith!” A locksmith was brought. He prised the door open and dragged out the driver, more dead than alive, his hands tied behind his back. They did not take off the ropes, but only took the gag out of his mouth. He reeled as he went to face his puzzled interrogator, “Who are you?” “The driver.” “The what?” “The driver from the prison, you | know.” “Who put you in that fix?” “A bunch of police officers.” “Some policerhen, I'll say. Did you have anything to do with this plot?” “What plot?” One year, $6; six months, $3. excepting Borough of Manhattan and Bronx, 50; 9 months, $2; 1 month, w York City, Yorelgn and ibe, 6 months, $5; f months, $3. ESCAPE from the GALLOWS By FELIX KOHN. “Aw, shut up! We'll see about that later. Take him to the Secret Police Department under conyoy. a ht only thing the gendarme .¢ol- onel succeeded in finding out was, that the van belonged to the house of detention, so that the clues would have to be aga ‘up there. He went to report to Mayer, the Chief of Police. He ‘was immediately ushered into Mayer's office. The driver, who took convicts from: «the prison «to other. points would usually return as soon as he completed his run. This time he had been late, and the prison offi- cials were becoming alarmed. As time passed and no driver re- turned, the alarm grew into a pa- nic. The Warden summoned all his courage and decided to ring up the official on duty at Mayer's office early in the morning. He called just while the police officer was making his report. The chief of police’ was only waiting for the report of the col- onel of the gendarmes. He was stark mad with rage. “Til go over to the prison my- self.” When he got there, to question the Warden. “At whose orders did you deliver the prisoners?” he snapped. “At your Exccilency’s “At mine?” “You telephoned.” “Man alive, you must be crazy, “Here is the paper I got to con- firm the call,” tremblingly inter- jected the poor Warden. The Warden was also put under rrest. His cross-examination eli- cited the details of “Von Bud- berg’s” visit, of the telephone call. The driver told how he had been handled. “The impudent rascals!” shouted the Chief of Police, bursting with he began Turee hours later our manifesto was posted all over the city of Warsaw, bearing the headline in large capital letters: “OUR AMNESTY.” In it we stated that we don’t ex- pect anyone to give us amnesty, but take it ourselves, and then fol- Jowed the names of the persons we had rescued. THE END. THE FARMERS MEET STORY OF MILITANCY OF TOILERS ON THE LAND Iv. The most seasoned agitator and organizer at the Conference is gray-haired Ella Reeve Bloor, or Mother Bloor as most people call her. Veteran fighter in behalf of the oppressed farmer of the North- west. Painting for the Conference a strong picture of the Iowa strike, which laid the natural basis for the Conference. Describirg how | she stood for hours on u table talking to the Iowa farmers.

There the farmers took the badges, guns and even some of the clothes away from sheriffs and deputies. The Conference turned to her repeatedly for advice. Always ready, hammering home her points with short sharp clips. Remind- ing the farmers one moment it is about time they stop being like cels who are skinned alive and act as if they don’t mind it; another mo- ment greeting an old farmer warmly; a third, sitting in at the Regional Conference in a corner of the hall. Bubbling over with enthusiasm, declaring that at the dinner her delegation had with the Progressive bloc, the Congressmen were all scared skinny. Always on the go, severe winters, stifling sum- mers, from town to town, from. farm to farm, agitating, organiz- ing, holding innumerable meetings. Poor focd, little sleep, few com- forts. Minot, N. D., hor headquar- ters. Her spirit plays all over the broad needy Northwest like a foun- tain, like a flame throwing a steady light in all its dark places. . Te ° HAE®.. LUX is the whip and flagman at the Conference. He is the gusty hook that cuts away the obstructions when the Con- ference seems to be on the verge of getting bushed. Salty, buffalo-breasted Harry with the big paws and the voice that blares like a brass. Fought in the world war. When Harry takes the floor, the farmers stir. He pumps roaring new life into them. He pounds his hammer fist as if an anvil and twists our hot anger to the right shape. He throws the wild ox of capitalism and how the smoke pours up as he slaps on his brand- ing irons. He calls Washington a rats’ nest full of lickspittles and rattlesnakes; he rubs salt into the tails of the poodle bankers and their wives; he skins the mort- gage sharks and the insurance hogs. ‘There is_no greater contrast to big beefy Harry than Philip Smith, the Quaker,. Smith is short and then, wears a black four-in-hand. He is a little Jongwinded and pedantic, “In nature you need light, heat and moisture for life. We've had enough heat. Now we A mba ass By MOE BRAGIN need the light and moisture of solidarity.” He was present at Harding’s Agricultural Conference in January, 1922. It was a farce compared to this Conference, ‘he informs the farmers. Smith is elected member of the Resolutions Committee and the National Execu- tive Committee. He is a good farmer and a thorough student of agriculture. Tireless, fearless, pa~- tient and dependable. “Redflag” (Charley) Taylor of Montana is one of the kcenest brains and best tongues of the Conference. A huge sack of a body, a face like an udder with small sad .eyes. ‘Taylor came orginally from Minnesota where he served as state senator two terms. Later he became editor of Producer News, militant farm paper, and a. mighty influence in the North- west. Taylor fills a number of functions at the Conference. He is an excellent reader, analyzer, and interpreter. He does a swell job with the Resolutions. No one can beat him exposing farm meas- ures like the Frazier Bill and the Domestic Allotment Bill. The man delights to talk, to pick to pieces, to bring to light hidden motives. He looks affectionately at a copy of the Resolutions before him, raises his plump damp ‘hands as if he were holding a newborn baby like its father, and hands it over to the two hundred fifty farmers with intense happiness. He is the chief authority on parliamentary procedure. ‘When it is imperative to rush’ through the Resolutions and a motion is made to steamroll the opposition, he stands in the way and forces the Conference to listen patiently to the minority. -His move saves the meeting from a possible split. When Hugh Core, one of the young firebrands, calls for a Farmers’ Ku Klux Klan to fight terror with terror down in the South, it is he who shows how terror would defeat its own pur- pose, drive the movement under- or wore ots toe enti eg Organization must ~prepare its “ground wherever possible in the open. At the meeting of the re- gional group: of Northwest grain and stock farmers, another young firebrand attacked a German farmer's. suggestion of negotia- tions with the bankers as com- promises and weakness. Here Tay- lor gives one of the best pieces of practical reason’ ,»' heard at the Conference. He siows how small and weak our organizations still are. To get the masses of tah ers over with you, you've got to educate them. You've got to show them that we aren't a mob that refuses to.listen, a mob of dead~- beats and brawlers. Negotiations helps you in that education and organization. It may get you cer- tain minimum demands. It. tells the farmers what» we want, it shows them the banker's role, and exposes him, Negotiation does not inean compromises. It means help- ing build up your movement so that you get the full weight’ of your arm and brain backing you when you are ready for .mass tion. (To Be Continued.) = mer, J
