he vast InONOpOlleS tndt now con-
troll the food industries of our ma
ton, constitute a threat to both farm
er and laborer. The amazing grasp
of the food trusts" on processing
industries is revealed in a two-year
investigation made by the Federal
trade commission at cost of $3.50, 900.
A few large organizations now con-
troll the dairy livestock and wheat
industries. In Minnesota, definite vio-
lations of antitrust laws were found
in the case of General Mills, largest
milling company in the world. 1t,
with Pillsbury Flour Mills, bought
one-third of the total commercial
wheat crop in a recent year.
Then there are Swift and Company,
and Armour and Company, at both
Chicago and South ST. Paul. Add to
these Cudahy and Wilson, to round
out the big four, and you have a
monopoly in the packing industry.
These and other food trusts, the
investigation reveals, break every
antitrust law. First they fix the low
prices they wish to pay the farmer
for his products, then they hike the
price they wish to charge the con-
sumner. The government must break
up these big combines if it wishes
to do something about the plight of
the farmer and the consumer.

When negotiation between citi-
zens and local authorities. rela-
tive to the appointment OF an all
Negro staff at the Brewster Hous-
ing project. became stalemated last
week, a pickett line was tossed
around the project by the Afro
American Institute and Federated
Preside groups.
Eight reasons have been set up
BY the. colored citizens Why an all
Negro staff should mann the
brewster project. They state in the
demands for an all-Negro staff
that Brewster Housing project
! was built exclusively for Negroes,
and Negroes will live in It," and
that I'm the Parkside project,
which was built for white and

line.

all Is no more than fair"
Nothing about our demands Is
unreasonable" he continued. I'VE
are demanding an all-Negro staff
for the Brewster Housing project
because 1t is built entirely for Ne

all fair-minded persons will agree
with us In this demand for justice"
The circulation Of petitions for an

Pickets Surround The Brewster Housing Project
'ational Medical Association Puts Its
Approval On Observation-Disclosures
By Russ ]. CoMans

HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va. -
With machinery geared high. even
though It m cant smotherins
some Of the wheel horses Of the
association. the National Medical
association took government-spon
eored medicine In it's stride here
Friday night when the attending
delegates adopted the resolution
favoring sociallzed medicine.
The resolution. designed to opea
the way for the treatment of those
living in rural districts who have
Suffered from inadequate medical
care and because there Is defi-
mite trend toward state and federal
control OF medical care supple
paf nted by various forms OF subsi-
'lltca heath Insurance contracts
and group hospital insurance, "urg-
ed that the proposed governments
sponsored medicine will include
only those not able to pay for regu-
lar medical service.
Want Same Relationship
That the doctors are not willing
to give up their individual practice
is manifested in the section OF the
resolution which reads: Eve stand
with other bodies In our demand
for continuance OF that priced
and respected patient-doctor re-
lationship. No system OF medi-
cine and medical practice should
be set up that robs the individual
of his choice OF physician"
Supporters OF the resolution had
run into an extensive campaign by
many OF the attending delegates
from the smaller cities. who inter-
preted the government-sponsored
medicine as a deterrent. and the
resolution came to the floor with
, its fate in doubt.
