Public Votes With
Greenbacks Against
Montgomery-Ward

Montgomery Ward, the leading OPP
ponent of unionism in the past year,
has been suffering constant drop in
sales since its anti-labor policies have
become public. According to Spot
light, organ of the organized Mont
gomery-Ward workers in Chicago,
Montgomery-Ward sales dropped $3.50
during the first 5 months of 1914,
whereas Sears Roebuck sales in
creased 11S9o for the same period,
as compared with 1943.
The figures, showing the compara-
tive sales of Montgomery and
its leading competitor, Sears Roebuck,

RAPID GROWTH

creased participation by both farmers
and trade union mebmers in this area
has been responsible for the greatest
growth of membership in the history
of the Group Health Mutual during
the past six months. Membership as
of July 1st was 1900, an increase of
$500 members since the first of the
year.
A new program of milk check de-
duction, to pay disqualification and
medical care costs for farmers in
rural Minnesota, has lead to this great
increase in membership. The first
cream check deduction group was or
ganized at Almelund, MINI. and sim
liar groups have been organized in
Rush City, Pine City, Mora, Cam
bridge, and others.
Trade union groups, in which pre-
miums are paid by employers to the
union for each employee involved, is
another method of Coop health pro-
lection which promises additional ex-
pansion. The first Group Health unit
to take advantage of this plan is the
Retail Food and Drug Union, Local
1116, at Duluth, Minnesota.
Group Health Mutual and Group
Health Association, both consumer
co-operatives, are supplying hospital
ization, health and medical care to
members located chiefly in Minnesota
and Wisconsin. They are driving for
4 total of $4,000 members by 1945.

Committee on Small Business;
Submitted by Montana Farmers Union

or private interests other than through
appropriate relief agencies should not
be permitted.
Obviously the prices which the gov
ernment is to charge the purchasers
is an important consideration in the
distribution of surplus war property.
We submit that it is peoples, prop
erty, already paid for by the people
and in it's distribution for the use of
the people there can be no justifica-
ton for the charging of profit price
by the peoples government We an
ticipate that there will be certain
profit seeking groups that may vio-
lently oppose the redistribution of
this peoples property at cost. These
same groups, will, without doubt, OPP
pose the sale of any of this surplus
war property to the people for use,
except through the ordinary channels
of trade under our economy. They
will advocate its sale to themselves,
for resale at profit, or may even
advocate it's destruction. We submit,
that all policies relating to disposition
of war plants, facilities and materials
must be directed to the preservation
of wealth for the benefit of the peo-
pie
We believe that public agencies
such as the Forest Service, the Soil
Conservation Service, the Bureau of
Reclamation or any other government
agency performing public services
should have transferred to them such
surplus war machinery and equipment
as they can use in the rendering OF
expended or more efficient services

CALIFORNIA
C0-OPS extend
SERVICES

OAKLAND, Calf (CLNS) = The
Associated Co-operatives of California,
the state wide Coop wholesale, has
just announced the appointment of
George Burcham of Three Rivers,
California as the first cooperative
field man for the state. The hiring
Of the first field man is of tremendous
significance, not only because of its
reflection of considerably improved
financial situation in the Coop whole
sale, but also because such action on
the part of other WHOLESALERS in vari-
GUS sections of the country, has been
followed by much stronger co-opera-
tives and significant Coop expansion.
The first issue of a Coop news
paper to serve both northern and
southern California, will be off the
presses late in June or early in July.
The state wide paper will take the
place of the Southern California Co
operator and Co-oportunity which was
formerly published by northern Cali
fornia Co-ops. Joint editors of the
project will be Mr.. Rik Anderson and
MI. AIlItu outclS. MI. I1OWdIQ 0Du-
dard will be publisher.
The state wide cooperative vaca-
ton camp, postponed last year be-
cause of the transportation shortage,
is being planned for July 18th to July
22nd, near Huntington Lake In the
High Sierra Mountains. DIR. ]. Henry
Carpenter of Brooklyn, New York,
who recently visited co-operatives in
China and India and is noted as a
leader of cooperative tours to Nova
Scotia, midwestern U. s. and Mexico,
will be one of the principle speakers
at the Camp Sierra conference.
Co-ops in northern and southern
California have just completed ar
for a carload of canned
goods from the cooperative cannery,
owned by the Consumers Cooperative
Association at Scottsbluff, Neb. This
action provides California Coop mem
bers with goods produced in Coop
owned cannery at cost which is
comparable to goods sold at Coop
stores everywhere in the country.

Only one other member of the small
business committee accompanied the
chairman, Senator Murray at the
hearing. This was the reactionary,
republican senator from Nebraska,
Senator Wherry. Judging by the
questions he asked the witnesses, he
appeared to believe that increased pro-
duction of sugar beets with a prohibi-
tive tariff on the importation of sugar,
would solve all of our economic prob
lens. He did. however, give an inter-
view, carried extensively in the cor
poration press. In this interview he
followed out the usual republican line
of damning the New Deal and the
present administration activities gen.
orally.
Senator Murray's conduct of the
hearing was exceptionally fine. Ques-
tions he asked of the ones presenting
statements, brought out many perti-
nent facts not completely clarified in

The people's voice., 1944-07-28

Our organization stands unequivo
cally in support of certain basic and
attainable detectives for American
agriculture. Those fundamental OBJ
jectives have been and will continue
to be, those which our members deter
mine to be not only for the best in
terests of agriculture, but for the
nation as a whole. They are not the
trading points of selfish pressure
group. They are the long-standing
tenets Of our organization applied to
the problems of today and tomorrow.
We have approached on the basis
of these fundamental tenets the prob
lem of how we, as an organization
can best serve in the development of
a greater state and nation and a
fuller life for their people We ap-
preciate sincerely, the opportunity
given us by Senator Murray and the
members of the committee, to present
our conclusions.
The preservation and improvement
of the family-type, owner-operated
farm has always been and is, the
dominant interest of our organization.
We submit, that agricultural pro-
grams which undermine and destroy
people within agriculture, weaken
our nation and subvert the constitu-
tional purpose of our government.
We believe that American agricul-
tural policy should be built on the
solid foundation of the family-type
farm, operated by its owner and fur
nishing full and remunerative employ
ment for the working members of the
| family; affording adequate income for
decent level of family living after
farm operating expenses and fixed
charges have been paid; and avail
able to them should be the most mod
ern form of energy electrical or
other) and modern machinery and
tools.
Looking forward to the postwar
period, we believe that great deal
of property which will be declared
surplus property and which is usable
or can easily be made usable to agri-
culture should be made available with
lieve that it would be most practica-
BILE to turn all such surplus war prop
erty usable in agricultural production
over to the Department of Agricul-
ture, charging it with the duty to dis
tribute it for the best interests of the
nation
Undoubtedly the conditions under
which it is distributed and at what
prices to the purchasers, must be
given careful consideration. F irst, let
us emphasize, that we contend that
no purchases of surplus war property
should be permitted for purposes of
making profits from resale, particu-
larly as applied to purchases of grad
ing and leveling machines, trucks and
tractors Small tools and similar
other surplus war property might be
sold to existing retail distributing
agencies but with definite resale cell
ing prices fixed.
Priority in the purchase of surplus
war property, should be given to IN
dividuals having personal need for
some particular large machine or 9TH
er item or to individuals through their
co-operatives, to reclamation and con-
servation districts and similar organ
izations. Outright gifts to individuals
