Continuing his American tour,
Cation brings the inside story of
the New York milk strike.

UTICA, N. Y. - The significant
thing about the recently-ended milk
strike was neither the violence that
accompanied it nor the success
which the embattled farmers won
Those were the things that made
the hea dimes but the really i'm
portant development was a little
farther under the surface the
fact that this strike saw the Amer
ican farmer working hand in hand
with the c. I. o.
For a long time, leaders of the
c. l. O. have realized that one, of
the biggest obstacles in their path
was the almost universal fear and
distruSt which the average farmer
had for their organization. 1t has
been a reflection of this motion.
as much as anything, which was
responsible for the C. l. O.'s re-
verses in this last session of Con-
gress and nothing has seemed
much more important to the c. I. o.
high command than the effort to
find some way, somewhere. somehow,
to make some sort of tie-up with a
bona fide farm group.
That finally happened in the New
York milk strike.
Fart of that was due to Archie
Wright. leader of the Dairy Farm
ers Union. Born on a farm and
now farmer himself, Wright roved
far and wide in his younger days,
and for a long time carried a card
in the Maritime Union. He was
one farm leader who did not need
to be sold" on the c. l. o.
Another factor was the appear
ance on the scene of capable Will
liam Gandall, hard-bitten repre-
sentative of the Transport Workers
Union in New York City. who was
loaned" to the Farmers Union by
the state c. I. o. authorities.
Gandall, as it happens, got ac-
quainted with the farmers some
time before the strike. when he
came upstate to try to rally SEN
timent against a bill pending at
Albany which would have ham
pered the Transport Union
He got a good reception from
the Farmers Union. and after that
particular bit of business was set
tied he made several more trips to
this region, speaking before a num-
per Of farm meetings.
During the strike Gandall acted
as Wright's executive officer. Un-
!uestionably good part Of the sue
less of the strike was due to the
professional touch" with which
Sandal was able TO infuse it. To
watch him giving instructions to a
5et Of picket-squad leaders - the
.risp, citified labor leader and the
,veralled, sun-burned farmers-was
, liberal education.
The c. I. o. didn't run this

After looking over il carefully,
Mccall noticed that it was a form
letter with the name of the agent
merely stamped on. So he wrote
another letter telling what a
whacking good farm machinery
salesman he was Back promptly
came another letter. Form letter
Number 9
He decided TO get the JOB any
way, form letter or no form letter.
SO he went to the agent for a large
company he wanted to work for,
and asked for the loan and order

Just as he got all the details at

companies showed up Competition
and plenty Of it,
The rainy season set in and
young Mccall found the rivals were
playing pinochle at the hotel while
waiting for the weather TO clear
Then and there ne went into ac
tion. Going TO the livery stable, he
asked the cost OF a team for two
weeks. Rainy weather. few people
wanted rigs. SO the owner made him
a low charge.
Young Mccall drove out early
in the morning before the other
statesmen were up, and headed
straight for the farmers. The far

cause OF the rain. One farmer had

pulled off his coat. plunged his
hands into the grease pail and
helped grease that harness.
The harder it rained. the harder

at home. He explained to each
that he was working on speculation.
His spirit obviously appealed to
them for his sales averaged two
binders a day. CLater he found two
binders was considered a good

1t rained two weeks. When it
showed signs OF letting up. he drove
back to town. hoped onto a train,
tore up to Wichita. and showed the
district agent what he had done.
Did ne get the job? Did he! No
force under high heaven could have
kept the district agent from snap
ping up such a hustler. In addi-
tion, he paid Mccall commission
and all he had spent for expenses.
It was the beginning of long
and profitable association with the
company. He worked for them IA
years-from Canada to South Am
erica.
He put 10 use a most important
principle of job-finding. He did not

The outcome would be a calainiey
unparalleled in history
Hitler's reply, handed to Henoer-
son the next night, started that
Germany was unable to buy Anglo
German understanding at the price
of remuneration of Germany vital
interests.
It alleged that Poland was mobil-
lied in mid-July while Polish au-
thorities instigated encroachments
on Danzig.
The note demanded return OF
Danzig and the Corridor to Ger-A,
many and safeguards to the exis-
tence of the German minority re-
manning in Poland.
Germany no longer was able to !
share the view that Geman-Polish
differences were soluble by direct
negotiations, Hitler said, but never
theless would agree to direct dis
cussions las proof of sincerity
The Hitler note added signific-
antly that in the event Of territor-
ial rearrangement in Poland, Russia .
must be associated in any guaran- /.

Germany, the note continued,
counted upon Britain's good offices
to assure that Polish emissary
with full powers would arrive in
Berlin Wednesday. .

Another telegram advised Ger

unable to advise Poland to send aa

gested that Germany hand the pro-

With Ribbentrop's refusal to call
in the Polish ambassador, the situa-
ton was brought up to the midnight
conference between the Nazi for
eign minister and Henderson.

SPEEDS ORGANIZING

Although the drive Of the Coopera tive organi zing
Committee to obtain fully paid up subscrp from
half the Greenbe1t dwelling units by October Is fell
short of its objective the Coo. hopes to organize
the cooperative in the future anyway, according
to sentiment prevalent at the meeting of that body
last Thursday. This feeling developed despite the
treasurer's preliminary report of the results of
the drive, showing that two hundred fully paid
dwelling units still needed to reach the goal
set.
Chairman VI. R. Vol ckhausen pointed out that the
lease with the government merely required "menbers",
leaving the cooperative to say who members, and
that the agreement with Consumers Distributors Cor
poration seemed to define all subscribers MEMBERS
The belief expressed that the subscribers
themselves, in view of the large responsibility in
vo1ved, should require prerequisite fully paid
up dwelling uni ts but Sherrod East and Mr. Volck-
hansen in particular convinced that every effort
should be made to organize the cooperative as soon
possible, irrespective Of the paid up shares.
The discussion finally ended by the motion that
the COMM ttee favor requiring paid up shares repre-
senting half the Greenbelt dwellings. The mott
defeated to z, Custer and LOTUS being for;
Dunbar, East, Harper, Jones, Vo1cldaausen and Ymen
against.
Mr.. East careful to point out, however, that
it still essential that subscribers continue pay
ing on shares rapidly possible, that the
loan from C.D.C. may be repaid.
Also passed motion tentatively authorizing
a meeting featuring a first class motion pic
