HOUSEWIVES WRATH

Shippers Told Complaints on Beef

- the Associated Press

b the Associated Press.
DENVER, October THE house.
wlies wrath at high beef prices
brought concern today to Western
cattlemen, previously happy over
prospects Of their best profit season
since the depression.
David o. Appleton, editor of the
Journal OF the American National
Live Stock Association, declared to-
day complaints Of present beef prices
are not wholly justified.
Prices In major cattle markets
already have broken, he added, and
should fall slightly more with new
feed crops becoming available within
a few weeks.
Appleton and F. E. Monin, secre-
harry of the A. N. L. A., contended
high beef prices are those paid for
choices and prime Stock constituting
little more than 5 per cent Of the
supply. =
Shipment of $500 head of white
faced cattle, reputedly the largest
carried by the Union Pacific in its
10 years OF operation, moved last week
from New Meadows, Idaho, to North
ern Colorado feed lots.
This was a significant example, Ap-
pleton said, of how large stocks OF
finished cattle soon will move into
market centers, cutting beef prices.

REFUSES TO ENJO|N|
R. {. A.POWERL0AN|
Justice 0'Donoghue Denies
Injunction to Alabama
Power Co.

In the face Of charges by the Ala
bAma Power Co. of illegal Government
competition. Justice Daniel w.
Donoghue of District Court today re-
fused to enjoin 4 $500 loan by the
Rural Electrification Administration
to cooperative organization in
Cherokee, DeKaulk and Calhoun Coun-
ties. Ala, for construction Of a dis
tribution system to use T. v. A.
power.
There Is no doubt that hundreds
Of people down there in Alabama have
entered into q cooperative agreement
to build electric lines where there were
no lines before" Justice O'Donoshue
declared. Il can't see that this Is an
illegal competition with the power
company"
Dean Acheson, attorney for the
company, noted an intention to seek
permission for q special appeal from
Justice ODonoghues ruling.
The jurist's decision today con-
cerned only the application of the
company for a preliminary injunction
to halt disbursement Of funds to the
cooperative until testimony can be
taken and the case heard on its merits
Vincent Nicholson, general counsel
for the r. e. A., told the court rural
residents of the three counties, after
many refuSals by the power company
to furnish them service, banded to-
gether in a cooperative called the
Cherokee Country Electric Member
ship Corp. and petitioned the r. E. A.
for funds to finance a distribution
system and generating plant. The
R. E. A. authorized a $4,000 loan, of
which $235 900 was for the power
lines. Subsequently, it was decided
to take T. v. A. power rather than to
build a generating plant. r. E. A.
already has advanced $l57.234.75 to
the cooperative, the court was told.
Nicholson charged that the power
company is attempting to break up the
cooperative and has built lines into
districts where the farmers have not
even asked for electric service since
learning OF the cooperative move
ment.
Asserting that the power concern
came into court with 'unclean hands, :"
he said its representatives had made
many Misrepresentation to the farm
ers in an effort to break up the CO.
operative, even telling them the project
was then tied up by an injunction.
Acheson argued that if the court
permitted disbursement Of the remain
ing funds allocated to the project the
entire cooperative power system would
be built and the case would become
moot before it could be tried. Con-
struction of the system began last
July 8.
