sponsored by group of leaders and
representatives of such associations,
the plan was taken up and an organ
izing committee of Is was named to
perfect plans. The representatives
came from eight states in response to
call issued by the educational de-
partment of the Farmers Co-Opera-
tive Grain Dealers associations of the
Middle West. Earl j. Trosper was
elected organizing secretary. At the
meeting were representatives from
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa; Illinois
and Indiana.
Reports made at the conference de-
veloped a number of facts of impor-
tance to the industry:
Shipping associations are being
formed more rapidly than any other
cooperative enterprise. There are
over 1000 farmers cooperative ship
ping associations in the United States
today, doing an annual business of
nearly $500,000,00O. Minnesota leads
with 700 associations; Wisconsin sec
ond with 600; Iowa third with 300;
Nebraska fourth with $50; Michigan
fifth with 200 and Illinois sixth with
60.
@ To date there has been no co-ordina-
tion of effort among the associations
by counties, state or nation except in
Minnesota and Michigan, where state
associations have been formed.

North Avondale,- Col.

North AVOndale, COL
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
l have received our certificate of
membership, and since receiving sew
eral copies of your splendid League
papers I am proud to be member
of such an organization, which stands
for such high ideals and such a worthy
cause.
The League is on the right road to
free the common people from political
greed and graft. -.
The League papers are the most
welcome papers at our home, and they
are always read from start to finish.
Then, when I am through with them,
l always see that someone else gets
them to read. I would suggest that
every member of the League do the
same. 1t is good thing-pass it on.
When one reads of the good things
that North Dakota has and is getting,
it makes one want to go there. But
we are all going to have the same
freedom in Colorado in 1920 if we all
pull together. The League is on the
right principle and has the right plat
form to free the farmer and the labor
ing people.

COST OF HOG LICE

Lice add a cent a pound to the
cost of producing pork. This has
been found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm Of the United
States department of agriculture at
Beltsville, Md. Twenty-four lousy
hogs were secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as possible as to
quality. The two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the excep-
tion that one lot was treated to pre-
vent lice. The animals were weighed
at regular intervals and at the end of
the fattening period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost cent
a pound more to fatten than those
which were free from this pest.
Every farmer knows, Of course, that
it doesn't pay to feed lice, but this
is the first experimental data show
ing exactly what it costs to have lice
in the swine herd. s.

cities of the country. They speak
score of languages. Add to that the
suppression of meetings, ETC., and it
begins to hit one hard as to how Won
derful a fight is being made. On top
of all this, have been the terrorist
tactics, and still the foreigner is stick
ing and the strike is now past its
third week without strike benefits or
strike relief being paid.
Out of this strike may be expected
new appreciation of the place of the
foreigner in the labor movement. The
American Federation of Labor has
always had a place for him whatever
his race, creed or color; but the rank
and file of the membership were ap-
prehensive lest so many foreign-born
would break down American stand
ards and offer an impossible barrier
to the victorious progress of labor
unionism. After the battle the
"hunkies" are making in this strike,
that fear will be gone.

THE STEEL STRIKE
Situation on All Fronts Satisfactory
and Men Still United After
Weeks of Prosecution
and Abuse

Pittsburg, Pa.-The American labor
giant is rousing himself to the sup
port of the steel strike. The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor has been in conference with
the presidents of the "a international
unions which together compose the
National Committee for Organizing
the Iron and Steel Workers, now
called the "strike committee" Re-
suits of this meeting will be seen
later-its proceedings are not yet
public.
James H. Maurer, president Of the
PENNSYLVANIA State Federation Of La
Dor, has reached here to begin active
participation in the strike and direc-
ton of the state forces of labor to
fight for the rights being denied
strikers. In ten towns no meetings
whatever are permitted: in Pitts
burgh itself no picketing is allowed
and meetings are now allowed only
in the Labor Temple itself-far from
the mills and homes Of strikers-and
in one small hall on the north side.
