Chanute, Kansas, and Regina, Sas-
katchewan. Serving these refineries
are 329 miles of pipe line and rs con-
sumer-owned oil wells. Half dozen
oil compromising plants were among
the earliest Coop moves into produc-
ton.
In the fields of farm supplies Coop
production facilities loom large and
are one of the reasons for the success
of the co-operatives in breaking the
artificial price strangle-hold a com
bine of fertilizer companies held on
American farmers. Fifteen fertilizer
factories, IL food mills and 4 seed
mills are owned and operated by the
Co-ops who pioneered in open-formula
supplies to protect the quality of
farmers purchases.
Consumers goods, once compare
lively small in the consumer cooper
alive field have blossomed forth as
an important part of U. S. consumer
cooperative business. Four flour
mills, three canneries, three bakeries
and two coffee roasting plants serve
more than a thousand retail Coop
food stores.
The Universal Milking Machine fac
tory, the fourth largest in the world,
was taken over by the Co-ops early
in 1913 and is producing around the
clock to meet the demand for Coop
mixers. A serum factory and several
chick hatcheries are owned by Indi-
ana and Ohio co-operatives. A trac-
tor and farm machinery factory in
Indiana, established by the Co-ops a
few years before the war; is already
building up back log Of post war
orders.
The farms and homes of Coop
members haven't been neglected in
this drive into production, for the
Co-ops now operate four lumber mills
and two paint factories.
Completing the list of facilities
through which consumers produce are
a chemical laboratory and cosmetics
factory in Chicago, grease and fly
spray factories in North Kansas City,
an alfalfa dehydrator in Ohio and
Coop printing plants at Superior,
North Kansas City, Mis-
souri, and Spencer, Indiana.
These facilities cover the fields of
petroleum products, farm supplies,
iood and other consumer goods, chem

Repairs To $500
Without Permit:
Limit New Houses

If your home needs repairs you can
make them without authorization, un-
der WIPES Construction Conservation
Order L-41, provided they are neces-
sary and do no change the structural
design of the property. The work
must not exceed 5000 or involve the
purchase of critical materials.
Pointing out that. wartime restric-
tions on building new houses permits
new construction only for war work
ers in certain areas, Federal Housing
Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson re-
Gently said: @'In view of these neces-
sary restrictions, it is all the more
imperative that the present supply of
homes be kept in adequate repair,
conforming to decent standards of
health and sanitation. For the great
majority of American families" Mr.
Ferguson added, these properties
represent the only supply of housing
that will be available for the duration
of the war"
Because critical materials must be
conserved for direct war production
purposes, new home building is re-
stricted to war industry areas, and
there only in such numbers as is abb
solutely necessary to meet the hous-
ing needs of essential workers.
Loans to maintain present home
properties in sound condition will be
insured by the Federal Housing Adj
ministration under Title |. These
repairs must be necessary for SAM
tation or health, or for preventing de-
cay and deterioration. Luxury repairs

passage Austin Wadsworth draft la
Dor bill. We urge you stop specula-
ton by instructing Byrnes, McNutt
drop anti-democratic draft labor pro-
posal, and use voluntarism, maintain
ing free labor in free America. Such
expression confidence American peo-
pie would vastly improve morale"
The text of Rev. Myers statement
follows in full:
1T is my personal opinion that the
proposed Austin-W adsworth labor con-
scription bill would constitute in
America a big step toward the nazi
and fascist concept of compulsory la
Dor. Personally | cannot imagine the
President approving of such a law. 1t
has been the proud experience of
America that free labor-because it
is free labor-turns out the highest
production in the world"
The text of Mr.. McLaurins state
ment follows in full:
I'VE, the negro people, have been
pleading with the authorities to use
our skills, our energies, and our de-
sires in helping to produce the neces-
sary implements of war But what is
the record? Whenever negro work
ers are placed in skilled positions
along side of white workers, you have
a strike. Negroes are still being kept
on unskilled jobs because of our sys-
tenn of trying to divide the spots from
the leopard. Give us a chance to vol
unteer as free men, as free Amer
leans, and you will find that drafting
labor is not the solution to our needs
and problems.
