DISGRUNTLED FARMERS
MAECH ON WASHINGTON.
COMMUNISTS GOING ALSO. Washington, October 11. The farmers’ national relief conference, an organisation growing out of the recent farm strikes in lowa and elsewhere in the Middle West, to-day announced a “farm march upon Washington’’ about December 7. Between 500 and 5000 disgruntled farmers are expected to come in trucks and motor cars to present to the Government definite demands, including a moratorium for debts, rents, taxes and mortgages, and the postponement of foreclosures, tax sales and evictions, also direct financial relief for indigent farmers. In view of the fact that a Communist march for about December 15 is definitely planned, also the possibility of another bonus expedition about the same time, the police chief, Mr Glassford, has requested officials to grant him complete authority to evict them, if necessary, and so preclude the possibility, of military action, as against the bonus marchers.
