Farm Co-Operatives Aid Big Farmers to
Profit at Expense of Small; Bind Poor
Farmers to Monopolies

Tennessee, st. Louis, Chicago, Boston
and Detroit.
All of these agreements are neso-.
tiated and approved by the officers
of large dairy cooperatives, lawyers
Of the milk trust and the agents from
the federal government In every case
these cooperatives are dominated and
led by rich farmers who receive high
salaries as officers. In short, the pur-
pose of these cooperatives Is to fur
Their impoverish the small and mid
die farmers by passing milk and mar
keting standards and regulations
which make it impossible for the
small producer to comply with and
make profit at the same time.
Cooperatives are merely methods Of
enslaving masses of farmers in the
interests of the milk trust and the
large producers. In the past ten
years, during which time the cooper
active flourished, milk prices to the
farmers decreased in proportion TO
the increase in milk trust profits.
The milk trust was able to make mil
lions in profits and to consolidate its
hold through monopoly control, not
only of the processing and marketing
apparatus all over the country. but
also through its indirect control Of
the cooperatives.

given an opportunity to present his
case at the A.AA. hearings. These
hearings are merely chickering's by the

and the government to legalize and
extend the present exploitation of
the Door and middle farmers on the
one hand, and the continued gouging
OF the working class consumer by
high prices and guaranteed profits
on the other.

price not much more than dollar
per 100 pounds for the total milk
sold by dairy farmers.
Parallel with the ruinously low
prices paid to farmers there is a
great increase in feed prices since
the beginning of New Deal imitation.
These grains have risen as high as
IS and 40 per cent to the farmer in
the last few months.
Monopoly Control BY Milk Trust
4The code provides that every
producer in every area must pay tri-
butte to a Producers Cooperative As
ISOLATION at the regular rate, whether
or not any benefits are derived. 1t
also provides that every producer
must contribute to an advertising
agency that is a grating farce, espe-
cially in these hard times. Every
small producer distributor must abide
by code of so-called fair practices"
that will make it impossible for him
to exist. Each must have his own
milk bottles with his name blown on
them. Each must carry 1922 pounds
for each retail wagon. The result
will be that these producer distri-
butors will be driven out of business
and into the ranks of the small pro-
Queer shipping direct to the Milk
Trust.
The small dealers, producers,
are hit hard also. They too must
have their own bottles with their
names blown on them. Each of their
wholesale trucks must carry 1850
pounds of milk, and none is allowed
to advertise except in publications
which appear for sale on news stands.
Such advertisements are too expen-
sive for small operators.
Every dealer and producer-distri-
butor must be licensed by the Gov
eminent and any violation Of the
terms of the agreement carries fine
of $1,000 day. These provisions
mean the end of the small dealer.

strictions because of his small unit Of

slurs upon the white workers Of the
South made by Samuel s. Leibowitz,
I. l.. D. defense attorney in the case.
81 have just read the statement
made by Lester Garter, and published
in the Daily Worker, about the things
Attorney Leibowitz said at the De-
catur trial." she writes.
when Leibowitz made that state
ment, he was including me too, and
all Southern workers. He charged
us with being just 'hoboes.' We were
hoboes, in sense, but that Is no
reason for Leibowitz to attack the
whole white southern working class
Lester Carter and myself were not
on this freight train because we
wanted to be hoboes. 1t was the
capitalist system that caused us to
be on that freight train.
Lester Carter had no job. I had
had a job, but what pay was I get
tingP-s2.75 a week! This is why
we were on this freight train, be-
cause we had no money, nothing to
live on, and no other way to go.

Washington, D. c., the organization

acterized this "basic-surplus" plan,
when interviewed today by the Daily
Worker. as "a screen behind which

Of city workers. The government has
now come out officially legalizing

1The second New Deal principle
in milk is the guaranteeing OF profits
to the Milk Trust by establishing
prices to both producers and consum-
ers. In the Chicago agreement. for
example, the farmer will receive 4
cents quart for basic" minus haul
age charges and association graft.
while the consumer will pay 10 cents
a quart. This spread Of cents goes
to the distributors and retailers. In
other words. the large profits of the
dairy companies, which have been
maintained throughout the depres-
sion. are retained and guaranteed in
the milk marketing agreements.
Farmers Get Below Production Costs
3-In connection with high profits
to the distributors. the marketing
agreements provide for below cost
reproduction to the dairy farmers.
In the Chicago area, for instance. a
farmers basic is "a per cent Of his
total production. For this basic" he
receives SITS per 100 pounds for SIS

Strikers Reject
SikorSky Go. Strike
Sell Out Of N.R.A.
Refuse to Settle on
Basis of No Wage
Increase

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec g.
The sell out announced by the Re-
gional Labor Board in New York, Of
the Sikorsky aviation company strike
at Stratford failed. The strikers
rejected the sell out, which offered
no wage increase. The N. r. A. Board
further stated that the company
will take back only Is men of the
100 striking and stagger the work
among the rest. The strikers were
not offered single gain. The bosses
threatened to close down the plant
if the strikers did not accept the
settlement"
All this after three weeks of delay
and deceit on the part of the local
N. r. A. board and the A. F. Of l..
strike breaker Egan.
When the strike committee heard
the terms Of the so-called Settle
ment" they called in Sam KreigeT,
T. U. U. L. organizer to address a
mass meeting of strikers. After
listening to Kreiger the men voted, in
a secret ballot, to reject the settle
ment." The vote was unanimous
with the exception of two. They
also voted to continue the strike and
spread it to Hartford and other avia-
ton centers.
The bosses did not expSct this kind
of response they thought there
would be stampede back to work.
So they continued their game of "cat
and mouse" and offered some conces-
sions which were withdrawn the next
day, hoping thereby to create split
in the ranks of the workers.
However, the strikers are as mill

every case, an increase in price to the
consumer.
The agreements, under which the
Roosevelt Administration plans to
regulate the country's milk industry,
contain the following principle
points:
1.-The basic-surplus scheme of
marketing milk has the approval Of
the New Deal rulers. In fact, Clyde
King, administrator of the Milk
Agreement, is mainly responsible for
the introduction of this scheme into
the milk industry nearly fifteen years
ago. 1t Is designed to insure the dis
tributors against all losses in handling
milk. The distributors pay to the
farmer "basic" price for milk sold
in fluid form to local consumers. All
over that amount, which goes into
cream and other derivatives, Is paid
for at much lower price. In addi-
ton to insuring the distributors
against loss the basic-surplus weapon
tends to cut down the fluid milk mar
ket by raising prices on milk to city
consumers.
1t also gives the leaders of CO.
operative milk associations opportun-
tiles for favoritism In assigning large
"basics" for their richer friends and
cutting down the basic" on the
poorer farmers. 1t helps the mis-
managed cooperative associations to
effect price cuts to the farmer and 1t
gives a decided advantage to the big
producer because Of his larger scale
Of operation. In addition, it makes
cheating and confusing the farmer
an easy matter because Of the COM
plicated manner in which basic" and
surplus" ALLEGATIONS are determined
and the complicated arithmetic ne
cessary to figure the price OF sur

BEMIDJI, MINI, Dec. 3.-Forced
to wait for hours outside in the snow,
workers and farmers here have been
threatened by Mr.. L. Fisk, relief
agent when they dared to protest
against the inhuman treatment given
them. Fisk's method has been to
single out individual workers and
threaten them with a beating. After
one farmer driven to desperation by
hunger called his bluff, Fisk backed
out.
The United Farmers League has
sent letters of protest to Gov. Olson
of Minnesota holding him responsible
for any violence that might result,
and demanding the removal Of Fisk
