SENATE YIELDS
TOFARM BLOC
WITH SMILES
Swallows Cooperative Market
ing Bill by Majority of
So to l.
GERRY IS DIRECTOR
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
nv RORERT RARRY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The farm
bloc" has gained another 100 per cent
victory. The Senate accepted. with smiles
ana much patting Of its own political
back, a cooperative marketing bill Of
radical caste. In so doing, it swallowed
whole q bill passed by the House almost
a year ago and scrapped q more consery-
alive substitute written by It's own Judi
ciary Committee last July
The bill, in the precise form demanded
by the agrarian party in Congress, was
approved by the impressive vote of IS to
l. The lone objector was Senator Peter
Goelet Gerry of Rhode Island, whose con-
stituency is a consuming one. The meas
ure will legalize associations of produ-
GERS of agricultural products for trad
ing in interstate commerce. Its prOpo-
nents promised through it the farmer
would gain higher prices without in
creased costs to the jewellers in cities.
They propose to eliminate once again
the oft-eliminated middleman.
To get the House bill before the Sen
ate for approval it was necessary for the
Administration members of the judiciary
Committee to eat crow for love of the
farmer: to say, in effect. they had not
meant it when they proposed q few short
months ago to throw around the farmer
combinations certain restrictions intend
ed to curb monopoIistic tendencies and
excessive profit taking.
They rejected the judiciary committee
bill by a vote of So to 4. Three Demo
Gratis and one Republican stood by the
Senate bill. The Republican was Borah
OF Idaho, Senator Brandegee Of Con-
necticut, announced, however, he was
against the scrapping of the Senate bill,
but he was paired" and, refrained from
voting.

to indianapolis today on his hike from

MINOR HANGES
MADE IN TEXT.

There were several minor amendments
to the House text, but as approved by
the Senate, the measure carried all the
effective provisions 20 exclude from the
scope of antitrust prosecution the CO.

farmers The roll call revealed such con-
sistent champions of the farmer as Sem
ator Lodge Of Massachusetts, Kellogg of
Minnesota and Underwood Of Alabama,
going along with the wishes Of the
farm bloc"
The Senate substitute for the House
bill as reported by Senator Walsh Of
Montana, would have retained for more
Federal control over farm organizations
than will be the case, now that the Sem
ate has accepted the House bill. Sen
ator Walsh said his amendment would
have removed farm organizations from
the present restrictions of the antitrust
law, In so far as they are now pro-
hibited from creating combinations IN
restraint of trade, but would have left
them subject to prosecution under the
sections dealing with creation Of monopo-
lies
Representatives Of the farm bloc"
contended the Walsh amendment would
have nulifed the effect of the cooperative
marketing act, that 1t would have been
fatal to the plan and that such a propo-
sition was unnecessary to safeguard the
interests of the American people. Sen
ator Walsh argued his purpose was to
relieve farmers Of the constant threat
of prosecution whenever they attempted
to organize cooperative associations
without making 1t possible for elevator
and milk interests to set upemonopoIies
in the various cities Of the country and
take excessive profits from consumers
pockets.

COOPERATION PLAN.
The Capper- Yolstead cooperative mar
keting bill Endorsed by the "agricul-
tural bloc and will be sent to the
President for his signature within a few
days, now that both Houses Of Congress
have approved it, seeks to validate the
cooperative plan, and to guard against
the possibility of monopolistic control of
agricultural products through the De-
partment of Agriculture. In the hands
of the Secretary Of Agriculture is placed
authority to pass in the first instance on
the proposed associations. At any time
he has reason to believe such group mar
keting was developing monopolistic con-
troll of certain products, he would warn
the offenders, then order action against
them in the courts. So long as the or
ganizations kept clear of the faint OF
monopoly, they would not be touched

Not all of the British press is as
bitter on the subject as the Saturday

in shipping circles that the subject
of the subsidy adds gloom TO an al

The United States immigration bill,
has already made inroads into Brit
