lIoIson Officer Finds

r The Associated Press
AN EAST COAST PORT. March
a-Of1cers and sailors of the
French cruiser Montcalm, which
with the Battlcship Richelieu, sped
from Dakar to Philadelphia, are
anxious for combat with the Axis,
an American naval officer said yes
terday.
The attitude Of the French navy
men was reported by a youthful en-
sign Of the United States Navy who,
because of his knowledge of French.
was selected to serve as a liaison
officer aboard the MontCalm when
1t sailed in A convoy to this coun-
try.
Storm Plagued Convoy.
He is Ensign Ralph w. Niemeyer
Z, S. n, R, Of Quincy, Ill, engineer
ing officer on an American destroyer
which was part Of The convoy. En-
sign Niemeyer is graduate Of the
University OF Chicago, where he
studied French.
Only twice during the trip was
there any indication Of Axis counter
action. he said once a submarine
was reported following us and one
night we had a sound contact with
sub but nothing happened. Either
We shook them off, lost them in
storm that plagued us or they were
afraid OF our strength"
Ensign Niemeyer said the COM
mands of both the Montcalm and
the Richelleu appear to be anxious
for combat with The Axis, rather
than serve in patrol capacity
which would be merely a token CO.
operation with our feet"
Crew Praised.
The crew Of the Montcalm and
the officers, he said. handled the
ship well, considering the fact they
have had so little action in the last
two years. The ships are run down,
however, and need overhauling.
Food aboard French ships is good.
he said but of limited variety.
1T was a case of beef, beans and
crepes suzettes. There was no
drinking water only wine and for
desert it was usually peaches and
honey"
The two French ships and Ameri-
can destroyers held together
throughout the crossing until the
last two days when the Richelieu
proceeded to New York and the
Montcalm to Philadelphia.

and in fact practically all firms en-
gagged in the manufacture or process
| ing of foodstuffs.
| Our organization has said repeated
| ly that we are not in sympathy with
labor unions organizing the farmers
and we have never objected to the
passage of laws when they were di
rected solely for the benefit of the
farmers.
But we are sure we cannot be
blamed if we protest when group
of people who claim to be speaking
for the farmers advocate the passage

pose to us as the co-operatives do to
the farmers.
Do Labor Unions and Cooperative
Associations Have Anything
In Common?
We must admit at the outset that
our interests are not always identical.
1t is human nature to want the best
price obtainable for things one sells
and the lowest price possible for
things one buys. 1t is true that the
farmer and the city worker sell to
each other and buy from each other,
but the price either of us get is not
always the determining factor as to
the selling price.
We do not blame the farmer, when
we go to the grocery store and pay
a dollar for a commodity for which
the farmer probably received 10 cents.
Neither do we feel that the farmer
should blame the city worker for the
excessive price the farmer pays for
some manufactured goods. 1t is al
most universally true that of the tot
goods, less than 20 per cent is labor
cost. Therefore, if wages were cut in
half it would only represent a 10 per
cent reduction to the purchaser. The
balance of the purchase price being
material, overhead such as cost and
depreciation of machinery and build
ings, management costs, financing, in
surance, interest, etc.

The cooperative laws are laws to
assist the farmers in collectively sell
ing the results of their toll, and right
ly So The proposed labor laws are
restrictive measures to hamper the
collective actions of city workers.
The cooperative laws punish any
one who attempts to break the con-
tract of a cooperative association.
The proposed labor laws set aside
contracts for the sale of a workers
ability to toll.
The cooperative laws compel state
officials to assist in the organization
and promotion of cooperative asso-
Citations and permit statewide organ
izations of farm producers. The pro-
posed labor laws prohibit one group of
workers from encouraging and assist
ing another group in organization and
would compel workers to organize in
small ineffective unions.
The cooperative laws protect the
co-operatives and do not permit the
disclosure of their records to anyone.
The proposed labor laws permit the
disclosure of all records of labor or
troy them.
From the foregoing we are sure that
you will agree that the proposed labor
laws in no way put labor organiza-
lions under the same regulations as
co-operatives.

However, they go far afield. They
include forestry in agricultural prod

they include anyone who manufac-

marketing the by-products there.
And then make it an unlawful act'
