DOCUMENTS OF AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS 



NATIONAL 



Commons, John R. and Andrews, John B. Labor Movement, 1860-80. 

 Cleveland, 1911. 2 vols. This collection forms volumes ix and x of 

 the Documentary History of American Industrial Society, which has been 

 prepared under the auspices of the American Bureau of Industrial Re- 

 search. About one hundred pages of the second volume are devoted to 

 documents of farmers' organizations, part of which were selected by the 

 writer when collecting material for the present work. They are taken 

 from Periam, The Groundswell; Kelley, Patrons of Husbandry; and 

 National Grange, Proceedings ,' vi-xiii (1873-79). The book appeared 

 too late to permit references to be made to it, but many of the resolutions 

 of the National Grange and other documents alluded to in the text can 

 be found in it conveniently. The volume contains documents of the 

 Knights of Labor also and the introduction to the two volumes is sug- 

 gestive. 



National Grange, Journal of Proceedings. 1873+. L.C., W.H., U.W., 

 D.A. The published proceedings begin with the sixth session, January, 

 1873, and continue to the present time. There has been one session 

 every year and in 1875 there were two, one in February and one in 

 November. These proceedings, together with the state grange proceed- 

 ings, form the principal body of material on the order of Patrons of 

 Husbandry. Kelley, Patrons of Husbandry, supplies the place of the 

 proceedings for the sessions prior to 1873. In 1880 a committee was 

 appointed to compile and publish the proceedings of these early sessions, 

 but nothing ever appeared. (National Grange, Proceedings, xiv. 113, 119.)
