Farmers Flood Capitol With Hunger Marches
About 300 farmers arrived in Washington to draft urgent requests to Congress for mortgage moratoriums and relief measures as part of the Farmers National Relief conference. They traveled from across the country, wore work clothes, and planned direct talks with lawmakers to press for action. Andrew Oja of Geyser Montana led figures describing the demand to meeting their elected representatives. While revenue from wheat was scant at home, the march aimed to force policy relief rather than protest rhetoric.
