Congressional Committee.

Defense OF the early application OF

rates and of the existing per cent
discount rates by the Federal reserve
bank at Kansas City was made today
by Governor. ]. z. Miller, of the bank
before the Joint commission on agrtcul-
ture inquiry.
During 1920 the great circulation Of
paper money menaced the reserves OF
the Federal banks and threatened to
bring about DEPRECATED currency. The
federal board authorized application Of
progressive Of discount rates by
reserve banks to force member banks
to reduce their credit lines. The Kansas
City district members banks were Dor
rowing heavily and the reserve bank
applied the progressive rates. ascend.
ing from six per cent on loans backed
by government securities to eight pc,
cent on loans backed by other securi-
ties. The result was a reduction in
loans made TO member banks by tho
reserve bank.
Governor Miller said that the in
creased discount rates were necessary
to the stability Of the banking system
which was In danger of too great ex-
tension, and for the security OF the

LABOR AND ARM
 UNIONS FOSTERING
 COOPERATIVE IDEA
Movement Is Gaining Through out Country = Machinists Lead With Banks and
 Stores = Aliens
 Started System
By RALPH BARTON

Special Correspondent of The AEe-Hexaid
 Washington, April 3. - eSpeciai) , = Labor and farm organizations. through their reapproachment and their great ly increased interest of late in the cooperative movement are advancing that movement in the United States with remarkable rapidity. Where two years ago there was only about 500 CO., operative enterprises in this country, figures made available today show that there are now nearly 4.000 and now new ones are coming into exist ence at the rate of about 100 month.
 Although the emphasis has been laid principally in the establishment of CO., operative stores, upon reduction in the cost of living, much wider scope of the movement is in the minds of those who are it's principal sponsors. They see in the growth of co-operatives gradual supplanting of the system ot capitalistic production and distribu- ton, and they hope through expansion of their projects to develop a real co operative society.
 A few years ago most co cooperative ventures in the United States were instituted and conducted by the for eign born, notably the Films who are foremost among co-operators. In New England for example, the Films have many cooperative stores, some of which are utilized likewise as club houses and are equipped with the at fractions of an up-to-date social cen- ter. The retail co-operatives are sup piled by wholesale establishment with headquarters in Boston.
 The success of the Films and the Scotch rn-n a fivnu att fho attention of men prominent in the American labor movement, and of late union organizations have given the matter of cooperation a great deal of attention. Not only is cooperative dis tribution being undertaken but experi- ments are being made in cooperative production. In Boston, after the cigar. strike last year a cooperative cigar factory was established, and in the

 MACHINISTS LEAD
 Albert Sonnichsen, secretary of the Comparative league of America in an article prepared for the machinists' monthly journal, expresses regret that so many labor papers look upon the co-operatives as only means of re- ducing the cost of living.
 "A well managed cooperative store. with a society of loyal menhn-~ 'e. hind it. undoubtedly will reduce prices by s to 12 per cent" he Wr.,oe, that is very small matter. compared to what the organizers of a real CO., operative society are after"
 The machinists. it may be mentioned, are among the unions most interested in cooperative plans. They control two banks in Washington, are devel- oping group insurance plan for their members, and are sponsors of the Norfolk plan" under which they came into control of large industrial plant in Norfolk and proceeded to carry it on for their own benefit.
 FERTILE FIELD HERE
 MT. Sonnichsen and other advocates of the co-operatives believe that the success of the British and Scotch CO., operatives can be duplicated in this country The plan of the CO., opera tiye movement is to start great numbers of retail stores, which Will eventually
