A murmur swept the chamber
j when Senator Lodge changed front
on the amendment. A milder demon- 1

CONGRESS URGED
TO TAKE ACTION
Washington, April 20.?Congress
was urged in a resolution adopted today
by the National Farmers' union
in convention here to appoint a Joint
commission to determine what is
wrong with agriculture" and to enact
legislation to "correct the discovered
and established evils."
"The farmers have' been branded
as profiteers," the resolution said,
"and Jiave been accused of taking or
threatening measures which would
result in a dangerously diminished
quantity of available products," add^
ing that the country was entitled to
know the facts and that congress was
the only agency equipped "to ascertain
the truth."
On the other hand it charged that
the farmers had been discriminated
against in the matters of credit and
transportation and that they had
been forced to sell their products below
the cost of production while residents
of the cities had been compelled
to pay "five or six times for
their food the amount which the pro
ducers obtained." ? i
Agriculture stands In a "unique
and strategic position," John Mc?
Sparan, master of the Pennsylvania
/ 1
V ' State Grange, told the convention,
'' with capital and labor on either4 side
organized and looking ^.fter their
own interests. The farmers, he added,
should stand together.
