ADVOCATE AND GUIDE. 169 



15. The national union should be incorporated, and then 

 charter the State unions, and the State unions in turn charter 

 the township and county unions. A part of the member- 

 ship fee and dues should go to each of the four unions the 

 township, county, state and national union. 



16. The national union should be the chief executive 

 for the union and control its policies and activities to make 

 them uniform over the United States. From its members 

 would be selected the many important sub-committees on 

 all matters of national and international interest to the 

 union for its information and guidance. This national ex- 

 ecutive should have its offices in Washington and be on the 

 job all the time. 



"Well, that is all fine ; but let's get busy now and union- 

 ize and get to work so we will be prepared to apply the min- 

 imum price system to our next crop. You call a meeting 

 of the wheat growers of the county for next Saturday after- 

 noon at the court house to unionize and we'll all be there and 

 start it with a big membership roll and a great sendoff. 

 Most of the wheat growers will be in town that day, and all 

 of them will surely join the union when there is to be so 

 much power and money in it for them. I know no one can 

 resist the power for good that unionizing will bring them 

 through the minimum price system you have so fully and 

 plainly set forth." 



Conversion of Farmers to Unionism the First Step. 



Well, well, Mr. Wiseman! I thought you were a farmer 

 and knew farmers. 



I am a farmer, and a wheat grower. Have been about 



1 my life, and I know farmers like a book." 



Then your name should be Dubb, for you don't know 

 the first thing about farmers. They are just like you, but 

 you don't know it. 



"How do you figure that out?"
