Discuss Merits of Farm Union i
Ju
I
tn The PLAYHOUSE
There Was only a “baker’s doz
en” at themeeting held here last
Thursday night, by the Ontario
Farmers’ Union, but it developed
! into such an informative and ed
ucational meeting as to warrant
I a full hall. It was 12.30 before
the gathering dispersed;
The meeting developed into a
harmonious, fact-finding discuss
ion of the merits of the Federa
tion pf. Agriculture and the com-a
jp.arativeiy hew organization in
Ontario known ' as' the Farmers’
Union.
Walter Miller of the ChMsworth
district' in Grey County,' where
the .Ontario Farmers- Union
movement started a year and a
half ago, explained the origin of
the Ontario organization, which
sprung from an apparent need
for farm organization, which the
F. of A. did not appear to be
filling in that district, he said.
While still in its infancy there
are now 49 locals in Ontario. Mr.
Miller pointed out that when the
Ontario group was organized they
were not aware that a Union- ex
isted i n ’Manitoba,, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. The Ontario by-laws
liave been drawn up along the
I
reason for (the birth of this new
group. ; y ' v •
_•/ Austin Martin, .a former pro--
vincial director of the Federation,
ente'red into the discussion. He
agreed with many of the, Union’s
.policies, but concluded that he
thought one . organization was
enough.
Others who spoke briefly were
Wilfred Shortreed, president of;
#ie Huron Federation, and. Bill
Kinihan of West Wawanosh.
The Farm Union officials stress
ed that they had not come in
criticism, but asked for the . co
operation of the Federation,, feel
ing that the Union was now well
established and here to stay.
Mr. MillCr expressed apprecia-
tion of the manner in which the
meeting was conducted, and that
it certainly had provided “food
for thought”, at a time when the
farmer more than ever needed
bargaining power, as he alone was
the only producer who couldn’t
put a price tag bn his products.
