Farmers Alliance and Labor Union push fraternal ties and political platform
In Washington the national council of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union met to discuss reform measures. They adopted a memorial to Congress deploring agricultural depression and urging government money at low interest, with silver rights equal to gold. A key resolution supports affiliating with labor groups for the Ocala demands, urging enshrinement in Democratic, Republican and People's party platforms while avoiding formal party affiliation. The move mirrors North Carolina leaders and signals a unified stance across states.
