Fort Worth, Texas. —H. N. Pope, President of the Texas Farmers’ Union, has given out the follow ing statement, commenting on the eight-hour law passed by Con gress Saturday: “The people of this nation have, during the past week, passed through the most humiliating ex perience this government has ever endured. A few labor leaders have stood at the portals of Con gress demanding that government give them a ransom or they will wreck society. This nation, in stead of meeting the situation bravely, has delivered the goods in fear and trembling. “Our American Congress has stood within the shadow of the Goddess of Justice and voted an increase in wages to four hundred thousand trainmen, who are the highest paid laborers in the world, and never at any time mentioned the three hundred and fifty thou sand trackmen who are perhaps the poorest paid workmen in the world, and who must subsist almost whol ly upon the crumbs that the train men leave upon the table. “When cotton was selling for six cents per pound two years ago and poverty stalked over the Southland, causing a greater financial loss to the Southern plow-men than the freeing of slaves, Congress confess ed inability to cope w-ith the situ ation and stepped aside, letting this awful burden fall upon the backs of the tillers of the soil. The or ganized plowmen pleaded with Congress for relief, but were told that it would not be constitu tional for government to undertake to fix the price of cotton or to ad- Progressive Ticket For Georgia (Every vote will help to bring about political freedom.)

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 11, 1916. Mr. Roger A. Dewar, Atlanta, Georgia. You remember and every cotton grower in*Georgia and other cotton growing states remembers our sit uation in the fall of 1914, when cotton prices shot to the bottom. You remember the meetings and conferences held in Macon, Atlan ta and other cities, and the earnest appeals that went up to Washing ton for help to relieve our situa tion. Did we get it? Not enough to notice, although they did hold us in suspense a w-hile before they let us drop. It didn’t take them very long, however, after a few million bales had passed out of the hands of the growers at $30.00 per bale or thereabouts, to rig up a Marine Insurance business that insured that same cotton for cotton brok ers on a basis of $60.00 to $70.00 per bale. Knowing all these things, and they are absolutely indisputable facts, if I were Mr. Wilson, I would not have the nerve to look a cotton grower in the face and ask him to vote for me. So long as we are slaves to any political party we get nothing and the very best thing that could happen to the State of Georgia and other Southern States would be for them to be just as un certain as to their vote in Presi dential election as Indiana or New York.
