Both are profoundly affecting our national economy and both are in effect driving a line of cleavage which sets the farmer apart and which if continued will eventually and inevitably reduce him to a position of economic inferiority. Both have attained their advantageous positions through legislation enacted by Congress and signed by the President. Labor laws. immigration laws. wage and hour laws. collective bargaining and similar legislation enacted by the Congress have placed organized labor in a commanding position where the worker dictates wages. hours. and conditions of labor. Tariff laws. tax. banking. commerce. trade. rate. marketing. and other legislation establish corresponding advantages and controls on the other side. But the farmer has been denied legislation which would give him a voice. either in fixing the amount of his own wages or prices. or in the market in which he must buy his own necessities.
