had a wonderful military training,
that he was well qualified in that

political experiences had been small.
He questioned the success OF the
plan whereby political considera-
tions were thrown aside. Already the
plan has been altered to allow the
Senators from each state, to have
say in the appointment of directors
for each district. He prophecied that
the general would be compelled
eventually to give consideration to
political conditions in Washington
and in the several districts. The
whole air is surcharged with poll
tics at Washington, he said, and per
sons in authority give due consider

In closing his talk, Representative
Houston told of how he had guided
Delaware children about Washing

visits of school classes last season.
He explained the detail work re-
quired of a Congressman, and told
how he was trying to serve all the

TIRE BLOWOUT SAVES MEN
FROM DEATH IN EXPLOSION

Fate, in the shape of an automo-
bile tire blowout, probably saved a
half dozen Kent county workmen
from death last week when a boiler
explosion destroyed the sawmill of
Simpler and Saunders, near Willow
Grove. Three of the men were slight
ly injured and the others shaken up.
A motor truck was to have arriV-
ed early in the afternoon with sup
plies. Had it reached the mill in time
the workmen would have had it un-
loaded and would have been back in
the mill at the time of the explosion.
AS it was, however, the truck was
delayed about an hour by the blow
out, arriving few minutes before
the blast shook the building. Being
late, the truck was not placed
against the loading platform, but in
stead was halted several feet away
to facilitate the unloading. A minute
or two later the loading platform
was wiped out by the force of the
blast.
George Davidson, one of the men
hurt, was thrown about 35 feet by
the force of the explosion. A part of
the boiler was hurled against a
white oak tree, 1875 feet away, break
ing off a huge limb.

General Andrews said that its repu-
tation for keeping within the FEEDER
al prohibition law, or Volstead act
was among the best.
General Andrews further intends
to put the enforcement of the Vol
stead act on something of a military
basis. 1t, therefore, is possible he
may name a military man, possibly
a retired army officer, as the admin
istrator of the Sixth Prohibition Dis
trict."
There will be group heads under
the Andrews plan, one for each
state.
"Will you accept the position of
a group head or director for the
State of Delaware" was the ques-
tion put squarely to Director Swain.
q will not" was his prompt re-
ply.
Although the director would not
discuss the question further, it be-
came apparent that Israel Howard
Melvin, present chief enforcement
officer, was likely to land the posi-
tion. When the question of whether
he would or would not accept the
position of a group head" under
the reorganization scheme, Mr.. Mel
vim simply smiled.
Mention of the name of former
Governor William D. Denney, of Do

of the militant Pittsburgh coal miner
In more recent years the costly strike
of 1922 demonstrated even to Andrew
Mellon, the spiritual heir of Prick,
the Southwestern Pennsylvania coal
miner was a power to be reckoned
with. At that time the powerful Mel
Ion group enrenched in the Pitts
burgh Coal company suffered the
most humiliating defeat in their en-
tire career being compelled, after seq
regating themselves from their weak
er colleagues, and defantly Boosting
they would never sign" to march up
and write their names on the dotted
line. The MELONS blamed three
groups for their defeat and swore
not simply to get vulgar revenge but
to remove these obstacles to the
open shop" in Pittsburgh.
The first Of this group were the
independents" led by John S. Bell,
millionaire banker and coal oper-
ator who with group of smaller fry
signed up with the union compelling
the Pittsburgh Coal company to come
in. Just a few weeks ago Bell paid
for his class scabbery with his finan-
cial life blood. Three banks he con-
trolled were found "unsound" and he

this group was the most dangerous
of all. Starting with a capital of SIS,
handful of Pittsburgh trade union
lists conceived of the idea, while the
1922 strike was still on, of raising
enough help to keep up the fight in
only a few "key" mining camps and
by this strategy hold the mass of the
miners in line under the leadership
of these few important mines. This
was necessary as the officials Of the
union were not giving out relief and
the resources of the nuts" was too
limited to help many miners. Natur-
ally, they picked the camps where
the miners were most militant. Going
from house to house in the working
class districts of Pittsburgh, facing
ridicule, suspicion and abuse, 1.-THE

A I the present time the annual
membership drive is going on in
the three western prairie provinces Of
the Dominion OF Canada for the wheat
pools.
The cooperative movement in Cana
da, as in the United States, is for OBJ
vious reasons (large-scale mass CAPT
talist production and distribution, rela-
lively higher living standard of skill
ed workers, backwardness of labor
movement, etc.,, very backward.
There is only one flourishing co-opera-
tive, and that is among the miners in
Sydney, Nova Scotia. But there are a
number of farmers organizations
which carry on commodity marketing
cooperation.
Turing the world war, two bodies
~ were created to handle the mar
keting Of Canadian grain. One was
the Wheat Export company" which
acted as purchasing agents for the
British government and the allied
powers, and the other was Board Of
Grain Supervisors" made up of men,
bers of the Winnipeg stock exchange
and representatives of the farmers
and the dominion government and
which fixed prices. BY this machinery

the whole of the 1917 and 1918 crops
was marketed.
The wartime wheat board (Wheat
Export company remained in exist
ence till July, 1919, in the spring Of
which year the allied imperialists an
nounced that they would not take the
1919 crops. A postwar wheat board
was therefore formed in July, 1919,
to market the crop, which it did by:
(a) controlling the internal price Of
-four, and (b) subordinating the ma
chinery of the Winnipeg grain ex-
change to its rulings. The crops Of
1920, 1921 and 1922, however, were
handled thru the ordinary channels Of
trade.
THESE latter are the farmers CO.
L operative organizations - the
United Grain Growers" Tin Manitoba
and Alberta), the Saskatchewan Co
operative Elevator company which OPP
crates local and terminal elevators.
These either buy outright from their
members or sell on commission.
The great price slump in 1920 drew
from the farmers a demand that the
wheat board should continue to func-
ton. To this the government refused
to accede. and as result the farmers
we're compelled to turn to voluntary
efforts, forming three pools in 1924.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-13

The stages Of the formation of these
pools were as follows: In 1921, a
committee of the Saskatchewan Co
operative Elevator company reported
in favor Of a voluntary pool, while the
Council Of Agriculture" demanded a
government board. In 1922 the gov
eminent refused such a board on the
ground that it was ultra wire" of fed
eral power in normal times" and
referred the matter to the provincial
authorities. The legislatures of AL
berta and Saskatchewan Immediately
passed enabling legislation, but in
Manitoba the bill of the Bracken
(farmer) government for board was
defeated.
In 1928, drive to secure farmers
signatures to a voluntary pool was
energetically launched representing
SO per cent OF the acreage OF Alberta.
The pool was started in October OF
that year and was later on able to
report marketing "a million bushels
at an average price of $1.03 per bush
Ell, two cents per bushel averaging ex-
penses and reserve. In 1924 a central
selling agency was started for the
three provincial pools with one sales
manager at Winnipeg and another at
Vancouver. As = result, at least half
OF the wheat crop Of 1924 was market

ed by the farmers themselves, which
means by some $4,000 farmers, repre-
senting ten million acres of wheat
land.
TIME pool is based on the contract
4 system practiced by the Danish
dairy farmers and the California fruit
growers. The contract the farmer
signs runs for FIVE years, till 1927. A
member breaking the contract is
liable to rs cents per bushel damages.
Some advantages Of the pool are that
the farmer does not have to sell i'm
mediately after harvest under press
ure of creditors and that by orderly
feeding OF the market there is more
likelihood Of obtaining a higher price
than BY individualist marketing.
AS a step forward in the direction Of
cooperative organization this wheat
pool is to be welcomed. 1t has obvi-
Gus advantages over the old way of
marketing. But wheat pool co-opera-
ton is an environment of finance
capitalist monopoly and subject to all
sabotage OF capitalist forces, has an
the limitations Of cooperation under
capitalism in general. The wheat pool
win be Of service to the farmers only

sion that this Is the solution OF such
agrarian crises as they have in re-
