In Buffalo on November 16 a Nonpartisan League speaker appealed to organized labor to unite with farmers to win the war and secure a fair share of produce value. He argued farmers earn 29 billion annually but receive only about 218 dollars per family, while labor and business split the rest through profiteering. He claimed price gaps exist in pork, shoes, clothing, machinery, and wheat, criticizing mills and packers, and urged action against profiteering as a national wartime need.
