operative marketing of the
grain crops of America. This
plan is the outgrowth of the rec
concentrations made by the Far
mers' Marketing Committee of
Seventeen. The announcement
that the plan is to be introduce
ed into Missouri and Kansas
was made here last week by C.
H. G~ustafson, president of the
organization, following t W 0
days conference with represen-
tatives of farmers cooperative
and other farmer organizations
of the two states.
Fifty trained feldmen met
here Monday. They viii be
schooled in the general plan of
organization and operation Of
the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc.
The school will be conducted by
Judge P. E. Donnell of Waco,
Missouri, and H. w. Avery of
Wakefield, Kansas, and r. c.
Obrecht of Topeka, Kansas.
These men are members of the
board of directors of the U. S.
Grain Growers, representing
their respective states, and they
will be in direct charge of the
Oganization work.
The work of singing contracts
between local cooperative ele-
vators and the parent corpora
ton will be the first undertake
ing. AS soon as that is complet-
ed, the fieldmen will make a
canvass of grain growers and in
dividuals will be signed for
memberships. The entire plan
hinges on these contracts, P. E.
Donnell said. Briefly the grow
ers contract to deliver their
product to their local co-opera-
tive elevator under any one of
q number of options and then
the cooperative elevator con-
tracts to market the grain thru
the central sales agency.
All of the legal aspects of the
plan will be explained in detail
to the solicitors at the school
here next week. The men will
be schooled in the underlying
fundamentals of the plan. As a
guarantee to farmers against be-
ing victimized by unauthorized
agents, the U. S. Grain Grow
ers have worked out an identi-
fication card system and each
feldman will be supplied with a
card on which is a copy of his
picture together with the seal
and signatures of the officers OF
the association.
There is a rapidly growing
sentiment in favor of the plan,'
Judge Donnell said. "The vari.
pns farm organizations in Mis-.
souri,, particularly, have express.
ed a desire to give this plar
their support. The U. S. Grair
Growers is so gigantic a pro
ject that the board of director.
has moved slowly in order t,
leave nothing undone.
Now, however, our finance
corporation, with a capita
stock of OO,OOO,O 900 has beel
organized and we are ready t,
do business. Contrary to tn.
general opinion, this great Fl
nance corporation will not il
any way supplant existig fan
cial institutions but it will as
sist banks in financing grail
movements from farm to mar
ket in an orderly manner.
Heretofore, this has beel
impossible in many instance
and grain growers have beel
forced to dump their product
on the market, heller SHELTER

Roonlingg Places
Are Not Protected
BY Rent Legislation
Have No More Right Than
Before Laws We're En-
acted; Were Not Intended
to Sanction Profiteering

Tenants who rent parts of apart
ments cannot claim the protection OF
the rent laws. This is the decision of
the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court first division, and means that
furnish room houses do not stand on
the same ground as houses and apart
ments occupied strictly by the renting
the municipal court, which decided
possessed from 1872 West Eighty
seventh Street by 7. J. Fletcher Jack
son, and Gertrude Jackson.
The owners based their complaint
on the fact that the suite occupied by
the tenant was subleased, which de-
feated the purpose of the rent law
Hnry S. Mansfield carried the case
to the Appellate Division and last
week the court decided the tenant had
lost her right to protection under the
rent law by renting part of her home
Justice Alfred R. Page, who wrote
the decision, said:
I'm my opinion, the provision of the
statute prohibiting the dispossess when
purposes means where it is occupied
by the tneant for such purposes and
where the premises arc leased to ten
ant not for the purpose of a residence
but for the purpose of business of
sub-leasing to others, the statute does
not apply. In this case, although the
sub-tenants were made parties, the pro-
ceedlng as to them was withdrawn and
1T was consented nat the warra mt
should issue as against the tneant only.
The Appellate Term in the case of May
VS.. Dermont, 1856 N. Y, Supp. l13, de
clded January IS, 1921, and therefore
subsequent to the decision in this case,
assumed for the purpose of that case
that this was the correct interpreta-
ton of the statute, but as the tenant
resided in the premises as we'll as
rented out rooms, it was held that sh .
could not be dispossessed.
The determination of the Appellate
Term should be reversed with costs in
this court and in the Appellate Term,
and the final order of the Municipal
Court affirmed"
Mr.. Mansfield said the decision means
such tenants can be removed by sum
mary proceedings just as they could
be before the rent laws were passed.
Prior to this decision, which is very
farreaching in its scope, the lower
courts have held that so long as the
premises were used as places of resi-
dence, it was imma terial who used
them as such, and the occupants could
not be dispossessed.

Cooperative Flats
For Al Families to
Go U p i'm 5Oth St.
Project Is Experiment of
Y. W. C.. A. to Provide
Moderate Priced Homes
i'll New York City

The Beekman Hill Cooperative Asso-
citation, Inc, has purchased the four
dwellings at 343 to $40 East Fiftieth
Street, in the Beekman Hill section
and has started converting them into
fourroom cooperative apartments for
forty families, to be ready for oc-
cupancy early in September. The
suites are intended for professional
men and women.
The project has been the outcome of
an investigation of the National Board
Of the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation to bring about better housing
conditions for those of moderate sal
aries. 1t was decided to engineer a
model housing project under it's ad-
vlsory assistance, with the result that
the houses in East Fiftieth Street
were taken over for experiment. When
ready for incorporation the associa-
ton passed from the Young Women s
Christian Association to the coopera-
tive group. The Y. w c. A. is in no
way represented in its finances, it's
interest being purely advisory in max
ing it success.
flnanclal control is to be prorated
or an absolutely equal basis, no owner
being allowed more than one vote.
The houses are being made over under
the direction of Charles A. Duke archi-
tcct. The fronts will be refaced in
gray marble stucco with green shut
tiers. In the rear fences are to give
way to open gardens. Special features
include storerooms, 9x12, for each
tenant and individual lockers for pack
ages.
The capital stock is $1,000, divided
up into 1860 shares at a par value
OF S. each, no member being permitted
to own more than 400 shares. The en-
tire management of the property is ilf
the hands of board of directors con-
sIstlng of seven members elected by
the association members within their
own group. Miss Grace P. Drake is the
presidents; Miss Vera Schafer, vice
presidents; Miss Louise Griffith, secre.
tary, and Miss Grace E. Marrett, treas
