pany publishes the trade journal
known as The Coal Dealer. Accord
ing to the complaint the subscribers
to this journal are in large part re-
tail coal dealers located in the states
covered by the Service Bureau, who
are qualified as Legitimate" dealers
under the definition promulgated by
the Service Bureau. The complaint
alleges that the object Of the pub
fishing company and it's publication
among others is to prevent whole
salers, producers of coal and others
from selling coal in respondents ter
ritory to consumers or dealers not
qualified as regular" dealers as de-
fined by the respondent Bureau, and
to assist the Northwestern Traffic
and Service Bureau in it's efforts to
prevent the sale of coal except to
regular" dealers.
The complaint alleges that the re-
spondents by cooperative means and
methods prevent wholesalers of coal
from selling in the territory served
by respondents direct to consumers
or to any other persons not retail
dealers in coal qualified under the
designations of Legitimate" or "reg-
ular" dealers as defined by the re-
spondent organization. 1t is also
alleged that the purpose and effect
of respondents cooperative methods
were to enable the local dealers in
their respective communities to con-
troll the price of coal to the consumer
without interference from outside
cempetition.

Government Gets Facts
On Alaska Salmon Packing;
Action To End Evils Asked

By International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-Following pub
lication by the labor press of charges
rivaling the old-time stockyards jun
gle in connection with Alaska salmon
packing, the facts have been laid be-
fore representatives of the Govern
ment, both legislative and department
tai, and measures will be prepard for
introduction in Congress for the pur-
pose of eliminating the evils. This
was announced by President Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor.
The charges have been given wide
publicity by labor papers, in cooper
alton with International Labor News
Service, which has issued a series of
articles on conditions in the Alaskan
canneries.
Revolving Conditions Found
'The conditions which we have dis
covered" said Mr.. Gompers, "are re-
voting. In part these conditions were
brought to our attention by represen-
tatives of workers in Alaska. Other
facts We're brought to our attention
by representatives of the organized
workers of California. Inquiry
through number of channels has
served to bring into our possession a
set of facts of the most astounding
nature.
Briefly we find the following ma
jor evils:

contracting system Of employment
which renders the workers helpless
and which makes them the victims of
network of evils in working condi-
tions, in housing conditions and in re-
gard to subsistence and which tends

LAND GRAB CHECKED

by the House, the Secretary Of the

claim to 100000 acres of land.
Secretaries Work of the Interior
Department and Wallace of the Agri-
culture Department have reported to
President Coolidge that the railroad
is not entitled to the additional land
because of violation of terms under
which public lands had been granted
by Congress.

to their physical weakening and moral
debauchery.
Human Needs Not Respected
Second Working and housing
conditions in Alaska which rival the
worst peonage conditions of early day
lumber camps and which take no
cognizance of the needs of humanity
in any respect.
"Third-A lack of sanitary regula-
tions in the canneries themselves
that result in filth of the most revolt
ing nature.
"Fourth-the presence of a mar
cotic traffic and addiction in the can
neries that is first in violation of law
and that is second contributing fac
tor of major Importance in the ex-
ploitation of the workers.
"Fifth-We find a probable viola
tion of immigration laws in the bring
ing of Chinese gangs into the can
neries.
Truth of charges not doubted
"This is merely summarization
of vast amount of evidence in the
form of official reports and affidavits
There can be no doubt as to the truth
of the charges, because of the over
whelming volume and official nature
of the evidence and also because the
Gamers themselves make tacit adj
mission of every charge.
There are Gamers in Alaska who
observe proper regulations, but the
prevalence of the conditions to which
we have called attention is sufficient
to require a rectifcation of the con
duct of the industry under the spur
of law"

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, d. C.-Senator La
Toilette, interested in cooperation, has
received urgent requests--in reply to
letter of inquiry sent out to farm
ers who hold stock in the billion dollar
Federal Farm Loan system-that he
insist upon full investigation of the
unsatisfactory administration and
alleged irregularities of the Federal
Board at Washington.
Hundreds Of thousands of farmers
hold the SAL 100000 capital stock of
the twelve great land banks located
in Spokane, Berkeley, Houston, New
Orleans, Louisville, Omaha, Wichita,
ST. Paul, st. Louis, Baltimore, Column
bia and Springfield. They bought it
at the time they took their loans.
This law, passed in 1917, was sup
posed to be the cornerstone of CO.
operative banking in the United
States. In order that farmers might
cut down their own interest rates,
the law was written so that the farm
ers might pool their land, issue bonds
against it, find their own market, con-
troll it themselves and cut out bank
ing middlemen. 1t was to make farm
ers independent of the mortgage
bankers, and allow them to develop
a separate credit pool.
Don't Control Own
Banks, Farmers Say.
They complain that the law has
never been permitted to work in this
way. "We never have been given a
chance to say anything at all about
our own banks. Why are we not al
lowed the control guaranteed under
the original act ?" they demand. Ex-
cept in so far as the liability for
losses is concerned, they declare the
cooperative features of the act have
been nullified by certain consistently
. Objectionable policies of the Federal
Board. They inquire why their
twelve great banks and system
whose assets are now 1891 900 900
should be entirely managed by Off
cials without penny of investment
in the system. Several millions Of
| undivided profits are held up from
year to year, they point out, instead
of being returned to farmers in divi-
dends. The system is not meeting
! the demand for loans. Service is gen.
orally complained Of. Even public
information is denied, they say.
"Why doesn't the interest rate
come DOWN." This question, voiced
by many Of Senator La Follette's
middle-western correspondents, chal-
lenges the vital efficiency Of the sys-
tenn.
Heads of Banks
Running System, Charge
/, "Seems like the farmer who is
struggling to make and keep little
home can't get help from the very
Land Bank supposed to be ready par
ticularly to serve him." writes on'

from Massachusetts.

Banks are going to ruin the system
