FARM BOARD FAILS
TO END DAIRY WAR
SchiIIing Says Wholesalers
+, Lack All Recourse From
Coop. Price Cuts.

BY the Associated Press
Private wholesale dairy distributors
were advised today the Farm Board
would not attempt to prohibit price re-
auctions by competing co-operatives.
Explaining the board recognizes 1t
Is inevitable that some private bust,
nesses will be injured" through the ag-
ricultural marketing act, w, F. Schill-
ing, member, informed Senator Davis
of Pennsylvania that private whole
Salers have no other alternative than
to meet the lower prices.
Schilling added that the only inter-
est of the Farm Board in the business
of co-operatives was that they conduct
their business so as reasonably to in
sure repayment" of loans made to them
by the Government.
Wholesalers Hit Cooperative.
That attitude was expressed in let
ter addressed to Davis in answer to a
complaint of the P E. Sharpless Co.,
Inc, Philadelphia dairy wholesalers,
filed against the Land O'Lakes Cream
cries, Inc, of Minneapolis. MINI.
Charging that the Government. in
effect, granted a subsidy to the Land
OLakes Cooperative through loans un-
der the marketing act M. S. Bradley,
president of the Philadelphia firm, &C
cused the cooperative of "indiscrimi-
nate price cutting" and extension of
credit to uncertain credit risks" in an
effort to increase its sales in the Phila-
delphia area He predicted "tremen-
dous losses from bad debts" would fol-
low as a result. ~.
Recalling recent statement by
Chairman Stone of the board, Bradley
quoted him as saying the marketing
act specifically prohibits loans for the
purpose of competition" He charged
Land OLakes with violating the law
in setting up distributing agencies in
duplication of existing private market
ing facilities.
Schilling recalled the purpose of the
marketing act to place agriculture on
IAN economic parity with industry" and
said that. while some businesses would
be hurt. 1.-The board believes no private
distributor of agricultural products has
very much to worry about if he is per-
forming necessary service at cost as
low or lower than that service is being
performed by the competing cooper
alive
Must Insure Repayment.
The loans made by the board to CO.
operatives he added, ARE, in fact,
loans and do not in any sense consti-
tute a subsidy.
While would not at this time care
to enter into a discussion of the meth
DDS and business practices of Land
O'Lakes Creameries. Inc, you may rest
assured that the board is fully aware
of the mandate laid down upon it In
the agricultural marketing act that
associations to which it loans money
must have management and business
policies of such character as reason
ably to insure the repayment of the
loan
The board does not attempt to ex-
ercise a paternalistic control over the
associations TO which it loans money,
but 1t does, nevertheless, consult with
them regarding their operations"

The Sidewalks
 Slippery To-day Pedestrians Had Hard Time Getting to Work This
 Morning

Pedestrians who got to their places of employment this morning without taking a tumble were lucky. The walks were very slippery and the roadway was so rough it was diff cult to get over them. Owing to the mild weather last night pro- perty owners did not know whether to sand walks or let it go until morn- ing and as a result in many in stances 1t was not attended to at all, at least not on time for people who still manage to go about their busi- ness on foot, and the number is by no means small.
 Care of sidewalks in this kind of weather entails a lot of hardship on many citizens, but because the law requires this service from citi- zens there is no use making a fuss over 1t, even though some do believe that it is asking one part of the peo- pie to shoulder the whole cost of work In which each should share an equal burden. But after all, things are not as bad in this respect as they used to be when abutting property owners had to pay the full cost of constructing and maintaining side walks. and do the cleaning and sanding besides.
