FRIDAY, OCTOBER . , 1937.

By RALPH. H. TAYLOR
What about “the march inland’?
‘Have ambitious labor leaders and
radical agitators given up their
dream of empire, insofar as the farming ‘industry is concerned, or is this
the lu]! before the storm?
California agriculture, for
most part; has enjoyed a fairly peace“ful harvest season thus far this year
—ecomparéd, at least, with the omin-=
ous prospects at ‘the start of the season. )
But farmers ‘can ill’ afford to be
Julled into’a false sense of security.
“The ‘Stockton cannery war, early in
the year, was a violent testimonial
to the fact 'that/‘‘it can Mappen here.”
And there favebeen sporadic outfreaks in other areas, with much
greater tension in the processing and
‘packing, establishments of the state
* (which are inseparably linked ‘to
agriculture’s welfare) than newspaper reports have indicated.
There have been several vital factors in preventing more serious labor difficulties in farming districts.
First, farmers, through tieir ‘organthe
izations, took positive and intelligent action to forestall trouble, to eldminate causes for complaint, to demonstrate <heir good faith ‘to their
icak trouble-makers that agriculture
vould not tolerate the terrorism “of .
“beef-squads” and hired gangsters,
intent on brow-beating workers and
employers alike. But lest farmers .
dGuickly conclude ihat tne crisis is
past.it should also be noted that the
real ericis failed to materalize, due
largely to.the fact that labor fire-:
brands had their hands full cin the
urban. areas, due to the death-strusgele which developed between the C
I. Oy and the A. F. of L.

inquiry is supplied by statements: of
leaders in attendance at the recent
eonvention of the State Federation
of Labor in Long Beach.
Walter Cowan and Fred West, two
San Francisco laborites who have
played an active part in attempts of
th A. F. of L. to organize California
farm.workers came ‘out frankly
against the old system of issuing
enarters to*individual farm unions
and advocated “one big union” for
all agricultural labor. The state federation, they declared, will take the
lead in furthering a national agricultural workers’ union. :
Mr. West declared he proposed ‘to.
ask for 50 organizers to ‘hand together field workers” in California’
under the A. F. of L. banner. “There
are 180,000 farm workers and 80,000 cannery workers in tie potential
California field,” said Mr. West.
“Only the cannery people under eon‘tracts through the A. F. of L. in

“The C. I. O. has 19 organizers
fornia and is spending $5000 a month
on the drive.”
When the C. I. O. can spend $5000
per monta to ‘attempt to stampede
farm labor into. its ranks—and when
the A. F. of L. plans to put an even
‘lmore expensive and expansive progzgam—tri should be a warning to farmers that the battle to protect their
industry from exploitation at the
‘ands of professional organizers is
still far from won. But even more
significant is this paragraph from a
news story in the pro-labor San
Francisco News during the state federation’s convention: “Mr. West

struggle for farm workers. He believes the fact that teamsters can
stop deliveries of fruits and vegetables from the great valleys would
enable a teamster-supported farm
union to win statewide agreements.”
In short, it is planned to cripple
agriculture, without regard ‘to the
rights of farmers or consumers, or
the public at large—just as warring
unions have destroyed trade and
paralyzed business in San Francisco until ‘the bay city is being shunned by legitimate ‘ndustry’and blacklisted because of its constant and
costly labor disputes. Eternal vigilance is still the price of liberty. And
agriculture cannot afford to be caught napping.
