were in operation decade or more
before Mr. Sapiro, with his improved
ideas, entered the field, but nearly
all of them are being run i'll accord
ance with the fundamental theories
which he so well advocates.
"It is not only sound, but in its
fundamentals it is not at all new.
Except in details, Mr.. Sapiro has had
deep-thinking predecessors of my
personal acquaintance. But that is
a point in favor Of, rather than
against, his plan, and the milk in the
cocoanut at this hour is that, in the
opinion, his plan is today feasible
when it was not so heretofore.
The storm of farmer interest in
cooperative marketing, which is the
result of years of hard driven educa-
ton by farm organizations, coupled
with the farmers painful predica-
ment today, is glorious and intense.
There has never been anything like
it, and unless l give the farmer credit
for less intelligence than years of
close association have taught me to
think he has, he is going to shake
himself free from the shackles which
have enslaved him.
Whats more, your 'ncle Ruben
in Georgia is not near as far behind
his brethren elsewhere as | some
times like to fool him into thinking
for his own good. And if some city
folks realized the amount of horse
sense he has in his head, they'd spend
their lives wondering how it is that
he has allowed himself to be the
goat of our economic system for so
long.
But there's an end coming to
that. The farmer is just waking up
to the fact that God (including the
times) helps those who help them
selves. And he is now out to act
upon that information.
"You have got a fine scheme, and
if you don't make mistakes you've
got fine opportunity to put it over
in Georgia and be blessed men,
ory. All strength to your good right
arm. | will be with your commit
tee when it meets, and insofar as
can be helpful otherwise, let me know"

witness for the defence yesterday in
tho contempt proceedings against Rob
ert Scallan, a newspaper reporter, which
wcrc resumed before Justice John ".

OF his testimony was his account Of q
conference IN washington on February
Is with Arthur J. Baldwin. attorney for
one Of the indicted building materials
men, Mr.. Untermyer disagreed with
Baldwin's version OF this meeting.
Throughout the afternoon Mr.. Unter-
nlyer and William A. de Ford, who is

and the cross fire between the two fire.
ouently became so intense as to pro-
woke the court to interfere. Mr.. De
Ford was appointed special Assist
ant Attorney General at the instance OF
Mr.. Untermyer. the latter testified, to
try cases growing out of the Lockwood
investigation, but the witness char
acterized Mr.. De Ford yesterday as "a
very mercurial gentleman; very easily
influenced easily hoodwinked"
Mr.. De Ford in return charged that
Mr. Untermyer expected him in the pro-
ceedings that followed the Lockwood
hearing ito be lackey." Mr.. Inter
myer was insolent and autocratic in his

any one in jail" Mr.. Unterrnyer said
yesterday that at this conference he i'm
piled very plainly that "Baldwin's people
most fragrant and persistent offenders
of the lot"
Never at any time in my forty years
| experience before the bar have ] been
interested in sending any one to Jail"
he said In explaining that In his general
practice he has not been interested In
the punitive side OF the law.
Mr.. Untermyer said he obtained De
Ford's appointment in spite Of the ad-
vice of counsel associated with him. He
said Mr.. DE Ford went to Stanley Rich
ter, his son-fn-law, and urged the ap-
pointmcnt. Mr.. Untermyer spoke OF
what he said was De Fords ambition to
