Show Agriculture and Labor "Agriculture has excellent reasons to take concern for the welfare of labor," says Wheeler McMillen. "The situation after the war is over will be of particular importance to farmers. Men earning good wages full time are much better customers than men without jobs. Men steadily steadi-ly employed under satisfactory con-ditions con-ditions are far less likely than men without work to become the prey of men who agitate for slrange kinds of government. Agriculture ought not, therefore, to develop hostility , toward labor and toward labor organizations or-ganizations as such. A wiser course would be to try to use agriculture's influence for correction of those abuses which do no good either to laborers, farmers or the nation." |
