BROOKHART SUGGESTS

Iowa Senator Sees Powerful Organization Possible Of

Work And Establishing Markets Independent Of
Chicago Exchange-Makes Statement In Berlin

and similar organizations, as hereto
fore.
His study of the operation of the
Rochedale society in England and the
cooperative development societies in
Scandinavia has convinced Brookhart,
he said, that America must help in
abolishing middlemen and politicians.
Tie first need, he asserted, was
permissive legislation for interna- :
tionalizing co-operatives.
The second need was the welding
of the societies into progressive units
extending in all branches of Industry
and agriculture, from the producer to
the consumer.
IF co-operatives I know in France
and Germany could meet along with
the Americans they could soon settle
the reparations problems and find
markets for surplus wheat Brook
har averred. But of course that in
wolves Kidding our countries of poll
ticians. We are working along those
lines now. We hope for the total
elimination of politicians some day."
Brookhart will go to Russia next
week to investigate cooperative mar
keting there.

secondly Dempsey struck Firpo
after the bell rang ending the first
round and Again hit him on the
breakaway.
The most fragrant ignoring OF rules
was when Dempsey was knocked
through the ropes out of the ring:
Eesyyas assisted back by an individual
said TO be Kid Mcfarland. licensed
offciaI of the New York commission,
and others. The rules say If con-
festant falls or is knocked outside
the ring. he must Immediately get
back, unassisted. If not the referee
must count and he can be counted
out as though he were in the ring
and on the floor.
The Marquis of Queensbury rules
and all state, codes provide for the
assistance given a boxer by. his sec
oSds or any other oyef-zealous. Ying-
aide spectator. Any assistance such
as Dempsey received would have au-
tomatically disqualified boxer Just
why the rules are not rigidly enforc-

keep the sport clean and pure of
