National President James E. Patton
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Raub Snyder chief of the Co.
operative Division of the National
Farmers Union Mr. Snyder conducted
the meeting. The first day was de-
voted to the presentation of the prob
lem.
Mr.. Snyder informed the conference
that certain business interests had set
up an organization known as the Tax
Equality League with headquarters in
Chicago for the purpose of creating
sufficient sentiment on the part of the
general public to enable them to force
congress to levy d tax upon the saw
ings of co-operatives. This group is
headed by Ben McCabe, member of
lu0 DOdIu VI ulI0CtOIS VI lIc nluuS-
apolis Chamber of Commerce and
president of the International Eleva-
tor. The Tax Equality League has
ample funds to enable them to employ
skillful propagandists and are en-
gagged in a nationwide program at
lacking the co-operatives.
The conference was also informed
that representatives of certain coop
eratives, not affiliated with the Farm
ers Union, had met with this group
in an effort to make a deal. 1t is
understood the terms of the deal were
to be that the attack on co-operatives
was to be called off, and in return the
co-operatives would lend whatever po-
litical support they may have, to Sc
cure a reduction in corporate income
taxes
Mr. P. T. Egan discussed the prob
lem of income tax exemption for CO.
operatives. He explained that coop
eratives do not have income tax ex-
emptions as is generally assumed by |
the public, and indeed, by many CO.
operatives. Any co-operatives that |

NATIONAL WAR LABOR BOARD

OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION
NATIONAL WAR LABOR BOARD
Address by Frank " Morley, al
ternate public member, National
War Labor Board, before the Social
Science Foundation of the Univer-
sity of Denver and the Colorado
State Federation of Labor at Den
yer, Colorado, Saturday, February 8,
1914
When | began to face the problem
of speaking on this subject, l began
to realize what difficult theme it is
Just what does the public know about
labor relations? From time to time
the public has strong feelings, but
what does it know? It's a pertinent
question.
1 don't mean what does it know, in
terms of knowing the answers My
thought about that is that the public
should and l hope always will, con-
troll the answers. But first of all
mean what does the public know, in
terms of knowing the facts. Not a
specialized public, but the public in
general, the John Q. Public of the
newspaper cartoons - whatever it is
that represents us all.
Well, for twenty years l have been
pendent for support on the appetite of
the general public for entertainment
or knowledge, and let me put it that
the public appetite for this kind of
information has not in that time been
ravenous. Indeed, although as an
editor l am supposed to be interested
in everything, my own interest in
labor relations was created accidental
ly. l don't know that there is credit
but there is certainly humor in the
story, and both credit (if there isl
and humor belong to the memory of
Burt Oppenheim. Do you know sim
pie definition of a great man? One
might be, a man whose good qualities
are not stopped by death. Burt OPP
penheim, not widely recognized in life,
was one of those whose good qualities
go on like to speak of him in Den
yer because it is potable that no one
has spoken of him in Denver before.
In 1899 and 40 Burt was the govern
ment official responsible, under the
Wage and Hours act, for commend
ing panel members for public hearings
in various depressed industries. After
many years of separation we happened
to meet by chance in station restau
ant, and after we had exchanged news,
Burt suddenly cooked an eye at me and

HEALTH IS STILL GREATEST
GIFT FOR YULETIDE SEASON

Celebrate the Christmas season
with gifts of health this year. sug-
gests the State Board of Health. i'm
stressing the important part that
good health plays in the life of
everyone.
Christmas is a time for gaiety.
for merriment. especially for chill
dren. but the wise parent i'm spend
ing the Christmas funds will see.
first. that the child has had a re-
cent physical check-up. that dental
needs are cared for. and that
glasses are procured if eye exam
nations indicate their need. Such
health care is the right of every
child and the results of it will out
last any toys that can be given.
This in no way means that toys
are out but it does, mean that
health should be the No. l order
of the day. and that less expensive
toys will fulfill the child's need
for play while there is no substi-
tute for good health care because it
may affect the child's whole future
life. Of course, reminds the
Board, there is little use in physi-
cal and dental check-ups unless
the defects found are corr ected.
Good health in childhood helps to
lead to vigOr in man and woman
hood, not to mention that a healthy
child is better able to study and
prepare himself for the future.
Warm Clothes aS Gifts
Warm clothes are also wise
choices for parents to give their
children. A gaily colored snow
suit can be fun to wear as well as
preventing chilling from winter
winds, and snug pajamas in bright
hues and warmly lined slippers.

like important gifts too. to the

guard against colds.
Well-soled shoes that are long
enough are another must" for
children. 1t is not an economy to
let child continue to wear shoes

that pinch the toes may lead to
foot troubles in later life. Soy
that are too short may also bind
the toes too tightly for foot COM
fort. Remember that galoshes and
rubbers are other wintertime ne
cessities and insisting upon chill
dren wearing them in rainy or
snowy weather will prevent wet
feet and many a colds develop
ment. These might be Santa gifts
as we'll

The matter of food and drink
should also be of concern to par

at the holiday season may lead to
