-NA@A SCI tANC NIAbtt
NEONEYLESS families in
1V1 southern California have
stopped waiting for prosperity to
round that corner.
Aided by fertile fields, willing
workers, and cooperation born of
necessity, thousands of unem-
ployed in and around Los An
geles have built up a Back to
Barter" system that is feeding
100000 people in one of the larg-
est and most successful of many
such movements throughout the
nation.
Their system, known as the
California COOPERATIVE Exchange
feeds the jobless, aids business by
consuming surplus crops for near
bankrupt farmers, and lifts
large burden of relief that other
wise would have to be met by
charity or taxation.
Today, eighty exchanges for the
bartering OF labor for food and
other necessities are operating in
Los Angeles and vicinity. There
are also many others in other
sections of California feeding
many more.
Men and women from virtually
all previous employment ranks
are engaged in the movement.
Some of the leaders are T. w.
Grubbs and H. P. Dean, former
bankers; Floyd Parker, former
contractor; A. Hayden Machon,
former Office worker; Margaret
Campbell, unemployed actress;
and Mrs. Bessie Ball Mays, a
housewife whose husband lost his
job.
Perhaps the reason for the re-
markable success of the system
is its simplicity.
TINE plan originated in Sec
Il ton near Los Angeles, where
hundreds were being saved from
hunger by welfare bureaus. At
the same time, thousands of tons
of foodstuff were going to waste
all around them.
Market prices were at rock
bottom levels, but men without
money and without jobs couldn't
buy. Nor could the distressed far
merS afford to hire labor to har-
vest their crops.
The result was economic Stagna-
ton, more families being driven to
the relief rolls.
Several jobless men, to whom
charity was diStaSteful, had an
idea. They went to the farmers
and offered to barter their labor
for food, The offer quickly was
accepted.
AS result, the first branch of
the California COOPERATIVE Ex-
change was founded. Unemployed
men of the community went into
the fields and harvested the crops,
collected their pay in cabbages,
potatoes. parsnips, beans and the
like.
Usually, the farmer and the
worker split the harvest $3.50.
Sometimes the unemployed were
given the whole surplus above that
which the farmer was able to sell
at profit.
From there on this moneyleSs
system of exchange moved swiftly.
Soon the jobless traded their sur
plus produce for a truck and for
space in a warehouse in which to
store their vegetables.
Exchanges multiplied. Gradually.
small merchants, BARRIERS, butch
erS, shoe repairers, doctors and
dentists were persuaded to swap
their goods or services for food. A
gasoline company fell into line;
even some landlords agreed to
accept produce for rent.
n n n
limits began to barter among
~ themselves. One at San Pedro,
harbor of Los Angeles, traded fish
caught by jobless fishermen for
farm produce. Another at Pasa-
dena snapped oranges for toma-
toes.
A large packing house in Los
Angeles traded a steer week to
