WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT
uPHOLDS COOPERATIVE
MARKETING ORGANIZATIONS

The right Of farmers and fruit
growers TO form cooperative market
ing organizations with sole control
over their crops has been upheld by
the supreme court Of the State Of
Washington in the case Of Washing
ton Cranberry Growers Association
versus Moore, (201 Pacific 773),
Moore had joined with his neighbors
in forming the Cooperative Growers
Association, and had signed common
contract with them making 1t the ex-
elusive sales agent Of his product,
with provision for damages in case
he did not keep his agreement. In an
endeavor to crush the co-operatives,
outside buyers offered its members
a slightly higher temporary price, and
Moore fell for this bait.
The decision Of the Court Is a
sweeping victory for the principle Of
cooperative marketing, since 1t not
only granted damages against the
farmer who broke his contract, but
further ordered an injunction prohib-
iting him from repeating this viola
ton. The Court also held that CO.
operative marketing contracts do not
limit production or control prices con-
trary to public policy, and that spe-
eifie performance Of the contract
should be decred.

BACK ON THEIR FEET

The majority Of the members of
the United States Railway Labor
Board insist in their public state
ments that as matter of patriotic
common sense" the railway employees
should bear and forebear until the
railways are back on their feet"
They have nothing TO say about
putting the already under-paid work
ers on their feet.
On December 81, 1917, the roads
had In cash or equivalent, $500, ,566,-
600. On December 81, 1921, they had
s659,ey4 ,000, an increase OF lis per
cent.
On December 81, 1917, the mater
ials and supplies on hand were val
ued at s2sz, 10000. On December
81, 1921, these same items were val
ued at S407, 100000, an increase of
SO per cent.
These two items show that the
total current assets of these compan-
les had increased 81 per cent between
December 81, 1917, when the roads
were taken over by the government,
and December 81, 1921.
During the same time the total
current liabilities had increased only
rs per cent.
Therefore, MIR. Gibson points out,
if the railroads were to pay of all
their current liabilities they would
have left $667,713,000, against $685.

Being opposed TO the ship sub

tee, which Is considering the bill.
I'VE challenge anybody" they say,
TO point to a single utterance by
President Harding or any other re-
sponsible speaker during the last conf
paign who raised the question Of ship
subsidies, or even intimated that
such was necessary or that a ship
subsidy bill would be considered by
the congress-"
The congressman call upon friends
Of the subsidy bill TO bring out these
points TO their constituents:
That the bill provides for "A loan to
ship owners Of q revolving fund Of
Si2b 900 900, at per cent interest
and for 15 years at time and up
to two-thirds the cost Of the ships al
though the average life of ship IL
estimated at 20 years.
That this bill exempts ship owners
from all federal taxes II they use that
money to build more ships.
That no friend of the bill has
claimed that II will lower freight
rates.
That this bill authorizes the ship
ping board TO make contracts for the
payment OF subsidies for a period Of
10 years from the date Of making con-
tract, this being admittedly for the
purpose Of preventing a repeal OF the
act by subsequent congresses.
That this bill confers upon the ship
ping board the most aut0cratic and
unprecedented powers with respect
to selling ships, making loans, making
subsidy contracts and handling enor-
nous sums Of money ever conferred
upon any board, and yet the shipping
board is feverishly employing every
conceivable means TO obtain such
powers and opportunities.
That this bill does not require the
shipping board TO make any report
or accounting to the president, the
congress, or anybody else, at any
time.
That when this country was in the
midst of the war the shipping inter-
ests who are back Of this bill took ad-
vantage Of the situation and ran ocean
rates up on both their government and
the people as high az 1 ESQ per cent
over pre-war rates.
That the pending bill Is infinitely
worse and more costly than any OF
the various ship subsidy bills which
have been repudiated in the past.

STRIKE BREAKERS
Observation-Disclosures,

Whenever strike breakers are em-
ployed on any considerable scale the
danger Of bloodshed is exceedingly
real, and will remain so as long as
men are afflicted with the ffailities
that are part of human nature.
Strike-b breakers are not working men
primarily, but fighters. They are re-
cruited by detective agencies" in the
big cities, and little attention Is given
to their qualifications To follow the
trade at which they ostensibly are TO
work. Preferably they are of the
drifting, homeless, reckless type, not
afraid Of violence, however much they
may be adverse 10 laboring with their
hands. Their job is not to carry on
productive work that has been sus-
pended by the strike, but TO destroy
the organization of the workers
whose places they fill. Generally
they are paid much higher wages
than were the men thev replace. 1t
follows that there is the bitterest feel
ing against strike-breakers on the
part OF union men, and when the for
mer "start something" as they are
always apt to do in the knowledge
that they are protected by armed
guards and that violence on their
part is not displeasing to he EN-
ployer, that Something often turns
out TO be Just such tragedy as was
enacted at Herrin.

The Solution.

II is not so much which side is to
blame for the useless massacre at
Herrin as it is to how much longer
such performances are going TO be
tolerated by the public. When is the
public going to take a hand and end
the recurrence Of this horrible night
mare by forcing the only solution
Justice! A dog will not rebel at
justice, unless he be mad, and a work
man, whether farmer or mechanic,
would receive justice with out
stretched arms. But the money-mad
critter doesn't want justice-he sim
ply wants the power to dish out Jus
tice" as his maddened brain prompts.

"And the officials of the Ladies' Gar
ment Workers"

menC workers.
Delegate Woll Continuing: "And
Ben Schlesinger as a trade unionist
opened the door and told him to get
out as fast as he could. He went out,
and today the attack is being made
upon the International Ladies' Car
ment Workers that was threatened.
Mr.. Schlesinger, by his own Interrupt
ton, has verified that fact"
In the language of President Com
pers, the soviety propaganda, after
wear sof effort, effort intensified dur
ing the past year, came to nothing.
Overwhelmingly the soviet advo-
Gates were beaten. They had sought
through a carefully conducted cam
paign to break the faith of American
labor, to convert it to the support OF
the ruthlessness and autocracy OF the
Ienine government.
Twice before, in annual conven-
tions, American labor has repudiated
and the communist regime
in Russia. This third reputation is
the more important because Of the in
cessant propaganda conducted during
the past year, the great final effort
to win American labor at any cost,
the vast amount of misrepresentation
resorted to and the alliance formed
with a number of publications which
presume to speak for the workers.
The fight on this question was cas-
ily the most spectacular Of the whole
convention. The outcome was decis-
i've. The victory for democracy was
overwhelming.

For eight weeks this newspaper. In
cooperation with the International
Labor News Service, has been pub
fishing important news stories which
have been suppressed by the daily
press and the press associations.
These stories have all heen Of first
page value. Each story has been as
important as any news story publish
ed during the eight weeks. Some have
been sensational TO a high degree.
All have contained facts of vital Inn
portance to the public welfare.
Strangely, these stories have re-
vealed facts which certain powerful
interests do not like TO have revealed.
Some of these stories have been
forced into print In daily newspapers
following their publication by the la
bor press.

speculative basis. While these specu-
lators were waxing rich without toll,
several hundred thousand farmers
were going bankrupt. No wonder that
farmers by the thousands are forming
their own cooperative marketing so-
cietiea, which are already exporting
millions Of bushels of wheat to the
Orient and the big grain markets OF
Europe. When middlemen get rich

consumers have TO pay the bill The

American Federation of Labor for
Third Time Repudiates Com
munist Aut0cracy.

The lengths to which soviet propa-
gandists have gone and are going to
disrupt the American labor movement,
hopeless task though it is, was re-
vealed to the delegates to the Cincin-
natl convention in a dramatic and
powerful indictment of the soviet au-
tocracy by Vice President Matthew
Woll. In this address Woll produced
what the soviet proponents had clam
ored for and doubtless hoped to get
evidence of actual operations by
soviet agents.
How soviet official followed Pres
ident Benjamin Schlesinger from Rus
sia to New York, demanding that
Schlesinger bring his great organiza-
ton into the red internationaie or suf-
fer the consequences, was told to the
convention by Woll and confirmed by
Schlesinger. The declaration clearly
came as shock to the soviet hackers
and as surprise to many others.
Woll went on to show that the SOW
let autocracy had sought to carry out
its threat to disrupt the International

recent convention of that organiza-
defeated in complete rout.
