FARMERS UNION TOOK NO ACTION
Secretary (jriffin Says Organized
Body Did Not Adopt Resolu
tion About New Capitol
State Secretary Ben L. Griffin
of the Farmers Union, in a com
munication to the Arkansas Ga
zette, enters an emphatic denial
of the report that at a regular call
ed meeting of the Farmers I nion
the organization adopted resolu
tions approving work being done
on the new capitol by the contrac
tors.
Secretary Griffin states positive
ly that the Farmers Union took
no action whatever, as an organi
zation, with regard to the new
capitol work.
The statement had been publish
ed that the Farmers Union was
the first organization to hold a
meeting in the new capitol, and
that it endorsed the work of the
contractors at this meeting. This
statement, Secretary Griffin de
clares is erroneous. lie states
that quite a number of delegates
to the Farmers Union accepted an
invitation to visit the capitol and
witness the floor tests, but that
they did so on their own responsi
bility, and not by direction of v ote
or resolution by the convention.
Secretary Griffin says he did not
take the trip himself, and he
knows positively a number of the
Farmers Union officials did not
and he objects most vigorously to
any statement connecting the
Farmers Union, as an organiza
tion, with any action individuals
may have taken.
