The article provides information on the Southern Tenant Farmers Union in Arkansas. The very existence of the labor union posed a direct and radical challenge to the established order in Arkansas. The salient characteristic of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union was its role as Socialist critic of New Deal agricultural policy. The union's organizing drive illustrated its agitational character. The labor union took its radical cues from H. L. Mitchell, its leader and spokesman. The Socialist Party and the union maintained a filial relationship throughout the union's early years.
