DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Labor Movement and the Farmer The main object of a great farmers' organization is doubtless to represent the interests of the farmers. But it has, or should have, another purpose almost equally important, to serve as a medium of education of the farmers concerning all questions of national import. One of these questions of first-class importance is the labor question. No matter what one's views may be about the policies or possibilities of organized labor, the labor movement itself is as inevitable as the seed-time and harvest with the farmer. It cannot be ignored. Therefore, it should be understood. I am inclined to think that the farmers have tended toward either a general opposition to the labor union idea or to feel that it is not much of their affair. But the very success of farmers' organizations in the last few years brings the farmers face to face with the labor questions as well as other problems of like importance. Now no question can be faced fairly unless its main outlines are clearly understood. it has seemed, therefore that a real contribution might be made if we could have a book in this Farmer's Bookshelf that would describe sympathetically but dispassionately and accurately, just what this labor movement is. It is believed that this book will meet the need. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
