FARMERS COOPERATIVE OR
CARNATIONS.

One county plans to organize a
fruit growing association, another
desires to feature to feature live
stock, another has in mind the pur-
chase of supplies economically.
Such is a good thing for the far
mers of county. The development
of all rural interests for farmers
generally depends upon their CO.
operative organization.
Such an organization must be very
prticular that the man who acts as
the selling agent is one who thoroly
understands his business. On him
depends thes satisfactory solution of
the marketing problem for which
such organization is intended. If he
is not the right man the organization
dissatisfaction to the members. The
success or failure of the project de-
ponds in large measure upon the
manager. The members of this or
ganization must also have the true
cooperative spirit. They usually
expect too much of an organization
at the outset and when these expec-
tations do not always materialize,
friction develops. For this reason it
is important that the members be of
mind to see the organization thru
and realize what it will accomplish
for them in the future. even in the
face of a few difficulties at the
start. III -

Answers Gompers's Query
After first setting forth in detail the
charges-which are similar to those al

hearings were adjourned until Tuesday
Changes iii Bill Likely

Mr.. Smyth testified that he was one
OF the Authors of the bills presented
and the mornings hearing developed
that several changes in the proposed
measures are likely to be made.
1T also developed that one particular
pollcy of the system will have much
influence on the decision to retain the
service. This is the attitude of Score
tary wilson concerning neutrality of
the service in the event OF strikes.
Several OF the members questioned Mr..
Smyth about the declination of the SER
vice to supply labor to the employer
whose working personnel was out on a
strike.
81 think the secretary's policy is
wiser than my own would be-" said
Mr.. Smyth. Il look OH the matter from
the lawyers viewpoint and I rather
think / would give the applicant for a
Job the name of the place where men
were wanted, with complete Informal
ton that a strike was ON.
There are two or three groups of
employers who desire to see the en-
ployment service pass out of existence
because they cannot dominate it," said
Mr.. Smyth "These men maintain Job
bureaus of their own, and they look
with disfavor upon neutral bureau.

Brought Harmony with League

Two, that The changes did in fact.
bring the labor convention into har-
mony with the league of nations
covenant.
Three. that the changes are not
substantially important, inasmuch as
every labor convention adopted by the
conference must be submitted to our
government for ratification Thus the
choice of acceptance or rejection lies
in our own hands, irrespective of the
constitution Of the general conference
Four, that the problems of the chief
British colonies and dominions are
much more like our own than like
Great Britain's, so that their repre-
sentahon Will be source of strength

ment.
Five, that in my opinion the
changes do not introduce any weak
ness or threat of any particular weak
ness into the labor provisions.
