PRODUCE BUYERS
MOVE TO SOUTH
Development Proven by Pres
ence Of Men Where They
Were Unknown.

Something resembling an army OF
produce buyers Is coming to operate in
the South, according to statements made
In the market information bulletin OF
me Chamber Of Commerce bureau OF
farm development, which is Just off
section OF the South becoming an i'm
portant producer Of field and truck
crops, live stock and poultry large
numbers OF buyers Of these products
are coming in" said the bulletin.
Where a few seasons back the buyers
from the big firms were practically un-
known In this territory. we now find
them coming In squadrons, wherever
any kind Of produce 10 being assembled
In quantities. Among the first OF these
buyers were representatives OF produce
firms, buying tomatoes and other vege-
tables from the Humboldt and Crystal
Springs areas. There are now, howev-
er, scores Of live stock buyers travelling
through this territory In search Of feed
er and stocker hogs and cattle. There
are also a number of poultry and egg
buyers operating In the three states.
From statistics which have been
compiled for some fruit and vegetable
producing sections It vas found that
four years ago only a comparatively
section. The following season, howev-
er, due TO an increased demand and the
efforts OF some agencies to induce
these buyers to come in, the number
increased to rs or more with double
that number next year. During the
past season approximately 100 buyers
were operating in that territory, Some
Of these men represent the biggest pro-
duce exchanges, some are buying for
produce houses In the larger cities, and
others are out for themselves as bro
kers. They are naturally competitors
for the business and as a result the
farmers obtain better prices than would
otherwise be- the case.
Where sufficient quantities Of pota-
toes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, or other
truck crops are produced, 1t will be well
to notify. In advance the better class
of produce exchanges and produce mer-
chants, in order that they may be pre-
pared to send their buyers into the ter
ritory at the proper season."

then made motion that a second bal

Consumers League Will Pre-

ARBITRATION IS
OBJECT SOUGHT

At a recent meeting the Consumers
League, after full and free discussion
decided 10 have introduced at this ses-
sion Of the Legislature. and to support
a bin providing for a Minimum Wage
Commission for Delaware. The mini
mum wage hin will make absolutely no
attempt arbitrarily to TX wages, but
instead, Will provide for arbitration
through wage boards representative OF
both employers and their women and
girl employees and the interested public.
This is not revolutionary measure,
but Is the result Of practical experience
extending over % years.
II will be remembered that when the
Consumers League introduced the ten
hour bill in 1918 II was thought by
many citizens that it would interfere
seriously with the financial side OF
business. But the Consumers League
Is convinced by inquiry that now, after
six years working nine-tenths or even
nineteen-twentleths Of those formerly
opposed would say that this Is one OF
the best laws in the State.
II Is asserted that II the league
thought for an instant that this new
legislation would hurt legitimate busi-
ness Il would be the last organization
20 favor 10. 10 is the mission OF the
Consumers League TO aid employers OF
women and girls by paving the way for
them 20 give such employees fair and
reasonable compensation and hours and
working conditions which will inspire
them to give service Of a quality that
never can be. or win be. given under
conditions which are unjust TO this
class OF employees.
There are in the state Of Delaware.
the league contends, three classes Of
employers:
First. Those who voluntarily give 10
women and girl employees those things
10 which they are entitled, because
such employers recognize the value
which attaches 10 and flows from con-
tented labor
Second. Those employers who have
not yet recognized the value OF such a
policy. but whose minds are open to

Third. That relatively small class OF
employers which-is made up OF those

anything which is Of a pro-
gressive and notwithstanding nature.
II will be seen, therefore, league on |

already recognize the value Of we'll |

employers who are subject 20 CONVEX
