FOR FIFTEEN CENTS,
SAYS C.S.BARREn
President of the Farmers'
Union Urges Members to
Remain Steadfast.
"Hold your cotton for 15 cents a
pound!”
This Is the keynote of a strong ap
peal to the members of the Farmers’
Union hy the president, Charles 8. Bar
rett.
President Barrett declares that the
present effort to bent down the price of
cotton Is merely the work of conspira
tors trying to make the members of
the union loosen their hold on their
cotton, and he assures the members if
they hold steadfast to the advice of the
Little Rock convention IK cents cotton
will be secured.
The upficnl Is In language unmistak
ably nnd Is addressed In tho customary
forceful and earnest manner o( the
president. It follows:
To the Members of the Farmers' Un
ion Throughout the Cotton Belt:
Just after the annual convention at
Little Rock ha* named 15 cents a pound
ns tho minimum price which the
Southern farmer should receive for hla
cotton during the ensuing year, the
speculators In the cotton ranks have
managed to depress the markets and to
bent down tho price.
I nddress to you this line as a fra
ternal appeal to hold steadfast to the
counsel of your annual convention, and
with heroic fidelity to abide its ultima
tum to the markets of the world.
Hold your cotton for 15 cents, and
hold it until It brings the price.
The committee which fixed the mini
mum at Little Rock represents all the
cotton states nnd many of the best
farmers of the Bouth.
The Xutlonal Union, when it fixed
that minimum, knew more about the
situation than any potton gambler or
combination of cotton gamblers. It was
not fixed upon an Impulse or an un
certainty, but after deliberate study
and Investigation.
With all my heart and with all my
mind, I urge you to the last limit of
your ability to hold steadfast to this
policy adopted by your National Un
ion.
The present status makes a definite
nnd decisive crisis in the history of our
great organization.
Up to this date the farmer ha* work
ed against opposition and against the
possibility of defeat.
Victory is Assured.
We have won victory after victory by
this splendid policy. We stand now
face to face with a combination which
affords us an opportunity to show the
world that the Southern farmer. Is res
olutely determined to .aslntaln his
rights. The eyes of the world are upon
him as never before, nnd tho history of
the organization In the future will de
pend In no small degree upon the
courage and fidelity with which he
meets thfe present situation. For three
years you have won out in every prop
osition that you have preacmed to the
business world. .
Win once more In this Important
Issue and It will be henceforth easier
sailing for us all. Loyalty at this time
will do more to attract the thousands
