FARMERS SHIFT

Any disagreement between the
farmers cooperative associations
and President Coolidge, anent which
many rumors have been broadcast
through the political ether since
the AGRICULTURAL conference in Iowa
last week, seemed to fade today
when the leadership of the Presi-
dent in agricultural matters was
stressed as the keynote of the open
Ing of the convention of the Ma
tionaI Council of Farmers Cooper
alive Marketing Associations at the
Lee House.
1.-The leader of the cooperative
movement in this country now sits
IN the White House" Judge Robert
W. Bingham, chairman of the
farmers council. told the 300 dele
gates in his opening address. We
who have hoped and dreamed fol-
Ibis day must follow that leader"
The note struck by Judge Bingham
seemed to meet approval OF the
farmers representatives -
Later in his speech, Judge bling
ham. urged support of the co-opera-
tive policies of President Coolidge
and Secretary Of Agriculture. Jar
dine.
Phe convention will continue,
with morning and afternoon ses-
Sions, until Friday afternoon.
Phases Of agricultural relief will be

Walsh picked out of the commits

Aluminium Company by George >.
Walker, president of the Illinois
Pure Aluminium Company, complain
ing that "0f the 10000 pounds of
metal that you shipped us during
January, there were $4,000 pounds
of one Size and we cannot use QUE
pound of that until we get some
other sizes.
What does your agent say about
Walker9" asked Walsh.
Donovan read the Department OF
Justice agents report which sad.
in part. walker admitted his prior
complaints were bit hysterical.
1t seems to the agent that many
of Walkers complaints We're eXdg'
gerated. He said he had no specifie
evidence that the aluminium con-
pany had sought TO injure him and
admitted he could not honestly say
it Disseminated against him.
did your agent confront him
with this complaint which he wrote
to the aluminium company" Walsh
asked.
II don't know" replied Donovan.
There seems nothing hyster1cal
to me in this complaint. because it
refers to pounds, metal and ship

Davis of the AIuminum Company,
Donovan said.
Having secured the consent of
the Aluminium Company have you
secured information which was
gathered by the Federal Trade Com
mission?" asked Walsh.
mo. we went to the company s
files" Donovan replied.
\~"Have you gone through the files
of this case at the Federal Trade
Commission?"
No, because we were going to
the original source"
Were there no original papers in
the Federal Trade Commissions
file?"
II can't imagine there would be, ;"
replied Donovan.
Walsh sought to learn whether
the department had profited by
the Trade Commissions investiga-
tion.
Part of the evidence related to
an agreement between the Alunli-
mum Company and customers oy
which orders could be cancelled at
will il the price level varied. Walsh
contended this was inviolation Of the
antitrust decree, but Donovan said
he could find no provision in the
decree which prohibited this prac-
tice.
Walsh also declared the COM
missions evidence relating to fall
ure of the Aluminium Company to
guarantee deliveries to it's Gus
toners also violates the decree.
He charged the evidence showed
that customers complained their
business was being destroyed be-
cause of the Aluminium Company's
failure to guarantee delivery. Don
ovan said the departments agents
could not find evidence to support
this charge because the company
had explained that labor, railroad
and coal conditions made it inn
possible to guarantee deliveries.
They ciashed again when Walsh
demanded to know whether the de.
partment's agents had compared the
statements given them by customers
of the Aluminium Company to the
statements the same customers
sion. which differed considerably.
Didn't your agents confront
these merchants with the contra
dictory statements they gave the
commission asked Walsh.
They may not have" said
Donovan. II don't know"
We'll that's very surprising
situation was Walsh's sharp re-
tort.
Another clash came when Don
ovan defeated the company's con-
tention in 1920 that a demand for
Aluminium exceeded their supply.
Walsh at once pointed out that III
1920. the Aluminium Company
claimed a credit of $16.000,000 on
it's income tax return on the grounI
that the plant capacity Of the com
pany had been enlarged beyond

Terhune has been held in jail
