of the union is now over 8,000 members a
day. Some days it reaches five or six
thousand new members. The enrolled
membership now is over one and a half
million. None of the State organizations
have any debts and there is more or less

Ono of tho mott jin portant thing* io
connection with this Farmers' Union is
the talk now correct that th? organiza
tion la affiliated with the American Fed*
oration of T?bor. Much baa been said
about this matter of affiliation with the
General Fad oration and the attitude of
many good and conservative men on the
outside baa been undecided toward the
organization, pending a statement of lt?
pocitlol. President Barrett waa asked
this questions "Is tho Farmers' Educa
tional abd Co-operative Union affiliated
with the American Federation of La
bor?" The answer was "No," and in his
address to the meeting hero he cautioned
the members to "go slow about affiliat
ing with any organization." He further
said: "Why should we affiliate when the
Farmers' Union is now atrong enough
and powerful enough to accomplish any
thing that it wants to that is just and
right?"
