FARMERS CREAMERY & PRODUCE C0., MWeeti: Q The Enemies of Organization ~ Organized Farmers and Organized Workers in Cities Make Common Cause Against Enemy LTHOUGH farmers, in organ- izing as members of the Nonpartisan league, have never objected to bankers, manufacturers, lawyers, labor- ing men and others having their organ- izations, there are men in some busi- nesses who seem to think that organi- zation is good for them, but that all other people ought to be kept from or- ganizing, There is a case in point at Minnea- polis at the present time. The Emer- son-Brantingham ' company, which manufactures Big Four tractors, is put- ting up a $70,000 addition to its plant. The company expects to sell thgse _ tractors to the farmers of North Da- kota, South Dakota, Minnesota Mon- ~ tana and other states. Nearly all of these farmers believe in organization and are themselves organized as mem- bers of the Nonpartisan league. But the Emerson;Brantingham com- pany awarded the contract for this ad- dition to thhe most notorious enemies of organized warkers in the Twin Cities—Haglin-Stahr Co. BELIEVE IN ORGANIZATION FOR THEMSELVES ONLY A representative of the Nonpartisan Leader, in conversation with Robert Hawley, superintendent of the Emer- son-Brantingham company, the other day, asked Hawley if he realized that Haglin-Stahr were the bitterest ene- - mies of organized workers in the Twin Cities. “Sure, we know it said Hawley. ‘That's why we selected them to do the work.” The Emerson-Brantingham company is against organization of the men who work for the company. It has been anti-union ever si“ce the company was established in 1857. Presumably, also, it is against organization of the farmers, who also are workers. Hagx ° Iin-Stahr, their contractoros, .also arg against organization OF WORKERS, But Emerson-Brantingham company believes. in organization of manufac« turers for self protection. The com« pany is reported, on good authority, to belong to the National Manufasturers association, the Employers Associatiom of Minnesota and a number of similae organizations. The same s true with- Stahr. This firm belongs to the Mas- ter Builders association and other or- ganizations of that kind. BIG BUSINESS FORCES PEOPLE TO ORGANIZE It has been the experience of North Dakota farmers that business men who have been in favor -of organization for themselves, but against organization of laboring men, have generally been against organizations of farmers, too. For instance, there is the Grand ‘Forks Herald, one of the bitterest enemies of the organized farmers. During the re- cent congressional campaign the Herald | point blank discharged from its em- ployment two men, because they hap- pened to be president and secretary of the state federation of labor. The state federation < had indorsed the program of the organized farmers. The farmers, in forming their own organization, have never denied the rights of business men and laboring men to form organizations for their benefit. Why do the organized business men object to the farmers and labor organ- izing? _ If the farmers and laboring men had no other interests in common, the oppo- sition of organized business, directed against both farmers organizations and labor organizations, would be enough to force them to make a common fight. League Aid 'té Farmers Union North Dakota Secretary of Organization Writes a Letter to Nebraska N Nebraska a few of the i leaders of the Farmers' unin, = evidently through a misap- fi@ prehension, are opposing the Nonpartisan league, though in every other state in which the League is organized, the members and leaders of the union are working enthusiastic- ally for the League cause. To explain how the union feels about the League in North Dakota, D. E. Shipley, secretary-treasurer of the North Dakota union, wrote the follow- ing letter to O. S. Evans, who is in an - charge of League organization work in * Nebraska: : = Dickinson, N, D., Aug. 20, 1917. O. S. Evans, Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 3rd inst received and contents noted. Im regard to the effect the Nonpartisan league had on the Farmers’ Educa- tional and Co-operative union of America in the state of North Dakota will say that during the last campaign everybody forgot everything else and worked for the Nonpartisan league and T will have to admit that our union did not make the growth during the organizing of the League that it should have made but I am sure that Wwe are now reaping the reward that justly belongs to those who will. get together and push to a successful fin- ish a grand and good organization such as the Nonpartisan League of North Dakota. > I think the wonderful organization the League has in this state is now. acting as a stimulant to our Farmers’ union and we are now making a good growth., Hoping this will answer your letter in a satisfactory manner, I remain, Yours very truly, D. E. SHIPLEY, Sec.-Treas. Tax Frauds Are Enormous Illinois Senator Says Men Who Shouted for - War Cheat Government of $300,000,000 ‘Wholesale frauds upon the govern- ment, in perjured income tax returns’ by the wealthy, in an effort to escape war taxes, have been announced from" ‘Washington. The-treasury department is said to be getting ready to bring a big grist of criminal prosecutions. Citing the dishonesty of millionaire “tax dodgers who appeared before the senate finance committee, Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois said in the senate recently: “There has been more ingenious ly- ing deliberately perpetrated to the face of the representatives on the finance cemmittee from time to time by men touching their incomes than could be conceived as could come from men of honor or men ' of business standing. Men who would shrink from petty ly- ing in the ordinary affairs of their lives and who hold themselves up as worthy of the approval of their fellow man in the communities where they live, who sedately ,march -in solemn procession behind the collection plate through the aisles of the holy church of God, carry- ing with them the atmosphere of, “Be- hold, how much holier I am than thou,” will promptly come from that Sunday service to this body of men, and, under’ the guise of business necessity, justify ' PAGR EIGHTEEN a form of lying which in other forums would subject them to the charge of perjury and to the pains and penalties’ thereof. = 2 “Mr. President, I may startle you to tell you that there in the treasury de- partment at this hour while I am speaking is the established proof of $300,000,000 swindled out of this gov- ernment by perjury, fraud, deception, and different forms of commercial and personal trickery under the income-tax returns. Had there been common konesty on the part of that set of men who prated loudly about the “honor of. the Republic” and cried in tones of echo throughout the world for war, there would not have been the neces- sity for the committees on both sides in their, honest endeavors to levy this burden that is now apparently justi- fled.” 2 © > RAILROAD EARNINGS The Pennsylvania’s gross earnings for June, $43,562,142, were the largest in the history of the railroad, and the net was more than $10,000,000, though- not a record..
