A group of cooperative represen-
tatiVes from southern California,
headed by Edward M. Selby, repre-
sentative of IL cooperative milk
producing organizations which fur
nish 85 per cent of the market milk
in the Los Angeles area, urged in
testimony yesterday and last night
that state control be relinquished
to give cooperative marketing a
free rein.
The hearing, held jointly by the
agricultural committees of the two
houses of the legislature and the
senate livestock and dairies COM
mittee. was in its fourth day today
The first two days we're devoted
to probate laws, with milk legis-
lation holding the center of dis
cussion until tonight and general
agricultural matters scheduled for
consideration tomorrow and Sat
urday.
Selby summed up a day-long pre-
sentation against milk control legis-
lation with the charge that it gave
"dictatorial powers to the state
director of agriculture, declaring
that 'Los Angeles cooperatives are
able to take care of themselves. y
1T is not necessary that the leg
islature protect our interests by
giving dictatorial powers to the

R. H. Cronshey, manager of the
same cooperative, described opera
tion of the huge Challenge cream
and butter association, which he
said is made up of a number OF
cooperativeS representing $4,000 in
dividual producers.
Cronshey declared that operation
of the Young and Desmond laws
during the time they were in effect
had created 'preferred' and ''un-
derprivileged" groups of producers
through setting up of classification
of milk as to the use to which il
is put. He said that private dis
tributors who also owned herds
sold" all their own milk to them
selves and bought that of certain
favored dairymen as Glass l, which
commanded the highest price, while
refusing to take the output OF
less-favored producers except under
lower classificationS, which brought
lower prices, even though each OF
four such classifications might be

In Greensboro, N. c., Ekker is

not a new sight to see parades
of drunken Negro women and
children and men cursing and
using the vilest vulgarity.
/ saw a drunken parade of
Negroes where some of them
had bottles of whiskey in their
hands by the bottle necks.
1t seems that the lawlessness
among Underworld Negroes is not
only increasing publicity but that
they are making concerted at
tacks to show the people how
little respect they have for the
power of the church.
From my way Of thinking the
underworld Negro has declared
war upon the church. If so, it is
the duty of the Negro minister
to accept the challenge and go
alter them in no uncertain way.
They are - the Negro under
