Farm Organization
Board Votes Against
Federal Tariff Com.

Washington, Feb. S.-(AP)-Resolu
lions urging the abolition Of the fed
eral tariff commission and a congress
sional investigation of it's acts and
procedure were adopted unanimously
at the final sessions today of the ma
tional board of farm organizations.
The action was based principally on
the course OF the commission in it's
consideration Of the butter tariff case,
and generally on what the resolutions
characterized as IAN unwarranted de-
lay in arriving at decisions"
In the butter tariff case it was
charged in the resolutions the COM
mission, subsequent to hearings, had
held secret sessions with interested
parties without giving notice to others.
Chairman Marvin of the tariff COM
mission declined to comment on the
resolutions beyond saying that the
commission would welcome an investi-
cation.
The immediate cause of the organ
tzation's action was reply by the
commission to motion presented to it
January % by the National Coopera-
tive Milk Producers Federation asking
that all testimony on the butter tariff
case taken after the last public hear
ing April 81. 1925, be disregarded in
the making OF its decision. This letter
from the commission, which was not
made public pending receipt by the
commission of reply, was described
as "quibbling and unsatisfactory"
when brought before the national
board at it's meeting today.
The motion of the milk producers.
made public late today. charged that
the commission had, since the close

change in the exchange rate of the
Danish krone and other facts concern
ing Danish economic conditions"
Officials of the organization said
this referred to an attache of the Dan
ish legation acting under the instruc-
tons Of his government. He was in
vited by the commission to present the
Danish side of the butter tariff case.

given to American producers of butter.

man Nelson telegraphed in response
that though there might be some diff
fculty in effecting the attendance OF
all members of the Maine Congress
sional contingent at the big meeting
here, he would endeavor to come to
Maine next week, and in the mean
time would continue his efforts for
satisfactory adjustment Of the diff
culties.
It was the sentiment at the meet
ing in Mayor McLean's Office yester-
day that, the present postal law, in
effect put premium upon publishing
concerns establishing or removing
their business to the rentral western
states. It is believed that Florida,
Texas, California and other states
on the fringe of the continent, which
are in the same manner discrimi-
stated against, will cooperate in the
movement.

Such program will eventually

preston in all business channels, not
only in Augusta, but throughout Maine
as well.
The movement to register protest is
not. however, entirely selfish with this
community, but seeks the cooperation
of other sections in an effort to repeal
existing and prevent future legislation
that has all Of the earrnarks of being
sectional legislation.
In the recall of Congressman Nelson
and his associates by the constituents
there is no attempt to pass the buck
or hold them to task for the present
situation, but rather it is the hope that
the presence of the congressman at the
citizens meeting may be in a nadvis-
ory capacity and that ways and means
may be devised for making the protest
of this community and other ssimilarly
situated morst emphatic and effective.
The date for the community mass
meeting is contingent upon Congress
man Nelson's presence. and further
public announcements concerning the
movement will be made by the citizens
committee as soon as determined.

The work Of the temperance soci-

carried on since 1915, DR.. Empring-
ham declared. In 1917 referendum
Of its members showed a majority
favored prohibition In some form or

membership which resulted in the

DR.. Empringham. who is a former
national vice president of the Anti

believing that policy would decrease
intemperance. One year ago he COM
menced the national Wade Survey In
the hope Of being able to prove that
prohibition was an improvement over
the old licensing system.
Stating that he was lifelong alb

inflated him to confess that "prohi-

instead Of better" adding that the
law has resulted in the discontinue

He said the Volstead act should be

society was planning a campaign to
that end.
