GENERAL STRIKE.
Canadian Wheat Growers' Plan Outlined. GUARANTEED PRICE ASKED. VANCOUVER, November 6. A message from Rumsey, Alberta, states that more, than 90 per cent of the wheat growers in that district, at a mass meeting, unanimously decided in favour of a nation-wide strike of Canadian farmers to take place before the 1933 seeding season.
The farmers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are to be asked to cooperate. Speakers demanded that the Dominion Government should guarantee to farmers the cost of producing the 1933 crops. At times the meeting became unruly.
A telegram from Calgary states that as far as can be learned no other farming community in Alberta has taken a stand favouring a strike.
