FORTY-FIFTH LEGISLATURE-SECOND CALLED SESSION 2029
COMMENDING WILLIAM GREEN FOR HIS PROMISE OF
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR SUPPORT
TO FARMERS.
H. C. R. No. 14.]
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION.
WHEREAS, The prosperity of Texas depends largely upon
its immense field crops, particularly cotton; and
WHEREAS, The present tariff laws of the United States give
protection to manufacturers, but give no protection to farmers
who produce and, sell raw materials consisting of foodstuffs and
fiber used to feed and clothe the Nation; and
WHEREAS, The Honorable William Green, President of the
American Federation of Labor, in his speech in Dallas on Labor
Day, went on record as favoring parity prices for agricultural
products, to be maintained by the Federal Government; and
WHEREAS, A parity price for agricultural products, particularly
for cotton, would add millions of dollars to the income of
the farmers of Texas, give them purchasing power with which
to support other American industries, to pay their State and
County taxes, enable them to purchase farms or discharge their
mortgages and to live on a scale comparable to those engaged in
industrial pursuits; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives and the Senate
of the State of Texas, in Concurrent Resolution, commend
President Green upon his stand in advocating parity prices for
agricultural products and for his promise of sympathetic and
substantial support of the American Federation of Labor to the
farmers in the solution of their problems.
