Farmers Tempered by Wheat Price Debate in 1914
Sullivan writes from Oct 11, 1914, arguing that farmers supported a $2.20 per bushel wheat price set by a labor-influenced committee. He claims the plan favored producers over 4 million farm workers and 4,060,000 farm owners, with broad telegraphic input suggesting prices from $1.80 to $3.00. He condemns efforts to split farmers and wage workers and urges readers to view the committee's decision as warlike yet necessary.
