Let's Be Fair To Farmers And To Wage Earners! Farmers co-op and marketing agreements 'are essential to our farm economy, just as the union shop vital protection to Indiana's wage earners.

An uhjust law that steals away the rights of either farmers or city workers harms everyone. A law that strikes at both can be ruinous. Yet, such is the effect of the so- called "right-to-work" law. Farm leaders now realize that if Indiana's "right-to-work" law can'outlaw labor's right to organize effectively then "so can farmers be denied the right to organize into farm co-operatives for bargaining purposes." The threat is clear for all to see. For.

the people who sponsored the "right-to-work" law in the state legislature, and oppose its repeal, are the same forces that have consistently attacked farmer co-ops and marketing agreements and have opposed every key legislation designed to benefit the farmers. This is why farmers and industrial workers are allies in battle against a common farmers can defend their own rights, and at the same time give city back their right to bargain effectively through organized labor, by voting 8 for a Governor, for state legislators, and for all candidates who are pledged to repeal Indiana's unjust and discriminatory "righi-lo-work" law.
