III opening the meeting Mr.. Will
liams described some of the problems
facing organized labor in the United
States today and cited the anti-labor

seven states within the past two
years, including his own state of Colo
RADIO. Mr.. Williams was one of the
legal representatives of Colorado CLIO
and AFL organizations in the court
fight to declare this legislation un-
constitutional. A favorable verdict
has been returned by the Colorado
state court although Mr. Williams
feels the case will be brought to the
supreme court of the United States
because of its Importance.
Speaking on OPA Mr.. Williams de-
scribed the cooperative activity en-
gagged in by organized labor and OPA
in making price control and rationing
work more effectively.
mo sooner was OPA launched as a
wartime program than labor was in
vited to form National Labor Adj
visory Committee and this was done
Its membership was taken from the
AFL, CLIO and Railroad Brotherhoods
executive boards. Mr.. Atkinson, who
unfortunately was not able to be here

Inc liquor WHICH was Pul'
chased by the board for the
group of retailers was the "Old
Rocking Chair Brand" which
in 1889 sold to consumers at
$1.70 for quart and in Feb
ruary 1941 for $1.85 quart
due to the increase in federal
taxes.
At the price which was fixed in the
purchase for the group of retailers
by the Liquor Control Board, it could
not have been placed on the shelves
and sold at the ceiling prices estab-
lished for that brand by the OPA on
the basis of former prices for which
it was sold. However, it could be
sold by the distilling company to the
private dealers through the kind Of
fices of the board at any old price and
sold by them to the consumers with
out hindrance at price including the
cost plus federal taxes collected at
the source, plus the markup by the
per cent profit margin. And the con-
sumner would pay the bill and the
price ceiling established by the OPA
would be nullified insofar as its eff
fectiveness in connection with the Ii
quor deal was concerned.
Private Business
Sam Mitchell, secretary Of state and
Mr. Bottomly, attorney general this
week refused to act on an authorize
ton of any transfer of state liquor
board funds, holding that the recent
decision of a majority of the court
Chief Justice Johnson and Associate
Justices Morris and Anderson-held
in effect that the board conducted a
private business and they had no
authority over or responsibility for
any funds of the liquor monopoly ex-
cept such as were finally paid into
state funds as surplus revenue.
The state treasurer while explicit
ly named custodian of liquor board
funds now finds himself in the quand
airy of being restricted by law as state
treasurer to handling nothing but
state funds in which he is bonded,
but now apparently also finds himself
by legislative act treasurer of funds
of what has been held by majority
Of the court, in effect to be a private
1t is reported that his
bondsmen are now making a study of
the situation in order to arrive at
some decision in regard to their liza
biIity.

|C0-0PS SUPPORT
0PA In SPITE
OF LOSSES

/; NEW YORK.-In spite of the fac
that ruling of the OPA had cos
their grocery wholesale $4,000 in low
cred margins in the last year and had
| forced it into the red for the first
time in seven years, representatives
of 10000 members of consumer CO
operatives on the eastern seaboard
voted at the annual meeting here Oc-
tober 81 that the OPA can count on
the willingness of the co-operatives
to aid in price control.
This expression of support for the
basic detectives of the OPA and in
the need for price control was made
at the closing session of the annual
meeting of the Eastern Cooperative
League at which representatives of
the OPA, the food industry and the
co-operatives participated in a panel
discussion on the question, How to
Live and be Honest under Price Con-
troll" Participating in the panel were
William Shine, regional price execu-
tive of the OPA, William Blaisdel,
pTeSlueut VI Ddolclu OO-OpcIdliVe
Wholesale, Gordon c. Corbaley, presi-
dent of the American Institute of
Food Distribution, and Percy S.
Brown, president of the American So
ciety for the Advancement of Manage
ment.
Delegates at the Eel annual meet
ing, besides pledging their support of
price control asked simplification of
regulations and real consumer repre-
sentation in policy making councils.
The panel discussion brought out the
tremendous need for further educa-
ton of co-operatives membership on
the complexities of operating their
own businesses under war conditions.

PLENTY OF TURKEYS
The civilian turkey supply, just
starting to come on the market, Will
be almost as large as last year, ac-
cording to the Department of Agrlcul-
ture. However, this years demand
will probably be much larger and
shoppers will be wise to put In orders
early. Men and women on duty in

The VIA has taken steps to
mako available the limited sup
ply of rotenone insectides for
agricultural use in a manner
which will contribute most to
the 1914 food production pro-
gram. A revised order now per-
mits the use of rotenone on a
larger list of fruits and vegeta-
bles than previously. On non
commercial crops rotenone may
be used for control of any insect
attacking vegetables or small
fruits in farm, home or Victory
Gardens. To purchase rotenone
dusts the farmer must sign a
certificate stating that the mat
erial will be used only for pur-
poses authorized. Farm, home
and Victory Gardeners, however.
may purchase limited amounts
without furnishing a certificate
of use.
OF the wide variety of farm
equipment items that may be
made in the farm shop, prob
ably none brings better returns
for the small amount expended
than the electric pig brooder,
according to Harry G. Cockrum
of the rural engineering depart
ment at Montana State college.
