Liege is the heart of the heavy in
dustries of Belgium. Coal mines and
steel, glass, crystal, machinery are
the great products. The coal mines
are very ancient here. the openings
having been made in the Middle Ages,
and the Stag piles are like mountains.
Mine workers are a dominant part of
the population, but today since the
war and occupation, there is a great
reluctance on the part of the young
men to go underground and desire
to enter other trades and occupations
Belgium's great need for coal for her
industries and her domestic heating
have prompted the use of German pris-
oners of war as part of the working
force in the mines. This is, of course,
a temporary arrangement. But the
work in the other industries is more
tempting to the younger men of Liege.
The brilliant and dynamic minister
of labor of Belgium, Leon Troclet,
is native and resident of Liege. He
conducted school for police officers
in the university as well as being
professor of political science. The
deep patriotism of the police officers
of Belgium and their assistance to the
resistance movement and allied forces
had much to do with Belgium liberia
ton. They are regarded everywhere
with respect.
The technical, scientific, and engi-
neering department buildings of the
were almost entirely de-
stroyed either by the air bombing of
the allies driving out the Germans or
by the w bombing from the Germans
during their last desperate offensive
in the Battle of the Bulge in the win
ter of 1915. The city is one of the
worst devastated in Europe today, but
the people are courageously and very

TR0NAGE
REFUND PAID
BY ONE Pea.

The first patronage refund of the
production credit system was made
by the Nevada Livestock Production
Credit association at its 1916 annual
meeting, according to an announce
ment by c. R. Arnold, production cred.
it commissioner of the Farm Credit
administration.
A number of production credit as
sociations have paid dividends ON cap
ital stock, Commissioner Arnold stat
ed, but the Nevada Livestock Produc-
ton Credit association is the first to
have made a return of savings through
a patronage refund in addition to pay
ing dividend on its capital stock.
The patronage refund was made to
members using credit during 1915, and
was made on basis of interest
charged during the year. The total
refund amounted to S6,703 and had the
effect of reducing the interest cost to
borrowers from the rate of 4h per
cent to 81 per cent.
The Nevada Livestock Production
Credit association is now completely
member owned. All of its government
capital has been retired. It's member
owned capital and accumulated earn
ings and reserves give it a net worth
of S471,000.
Quite a number of other associations
are well on the way toward their goal
of complete member ownership, Com
missioner Arnold reports. At the close
of 1915, the 10000 members of Sill
associations owned approximately $33
million in capital stock. In addition,
the associations had accumulated re-
serves and earnings amounting to over
$35 million.
AS the locally owned capital and
earning power of the cooperative pro
duction credit associations have de-
veloped the IL supervising production
credit corporations have been able to
start a program of returning their
government capital to the revolving

GIN, Steel PLANTS

Alfred Baker Lewis of Greenwich,
Conn, the president of the Union Gas,
ualty company of New York and own.
er of 500 shares of General Motors
corporation stock, has called in Presi-
dent Truman to take over the General
Motors corporation and struck steel
plants and operate them to speed ma
tional recovery, prevent delay in the
housing program, and prevent infla-
ton.
Mr.. Lewis declared that the presi-
dent of General Motors and the presi-
dent of United States Steel were act
ing as though they were bigger than
the president of the United States in
their arrogant refusal to accept rea-
sonable compromise of the wage dis
putes with their employees.
Mr.. Lewis letter to President Tru-
man follows:
Gas a stakeholder of General Mo-
tors | strongly urge you to exercise
your power to take over the General
Motors company plants and the struck
steel mills as well, and operate them
to speed national reconversion, to
prevent serious delay in your housing
program, and to prevent initiation.
ut is true that General Motors is
not losing much money by the strike
because the rebate provisions of the
tax laws practically guarantee it a
profit and make it possible for the
company to try to destroy organized
labor and to buy full page ads in the
newspapers at the taxpayers expense
But the short term financial advan-
tage does not tell the whole story
General Motors must operate with it's
employees in the long run
1t will never get good production out
of men who are dissatisfied and seeth-
ing from ranking sense of injustice,
as they will be doing if the strike is
broken and the employees are driven
back to work by privation.
Certainly the JAW. has been rea-
sonable. 1t has not asked for an in /
crease in total wages, but only for an
hourly wage increase sufficient to off
set the reduction in take-home pay

GROWING FAST
Intensive Drive on for Coop
Hospitals; Five Organized,
Forty More Being Formed

NEW YORK-(CLNS)- organ
ization of cooperative hospitals,
owned by the people they serve, is
reaching its most intensive period in
years, according to the Cooperative
League of the United States of Ameri-
ca. At present five cooperative hos
pitfalls are in operation in the states
of Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Min
nesota and at least 40 more are in
various stages of organization.
Most intensive drive are underway
in Texas and the Northwestern states
of Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Other hospitals are being organized
in South Dakota and Minnesota with
community groups in other states Sc
riously considering organization
drives.
The pioneer cooperative hospital,
the Elk City Community Hospital in
Elk City, Oklahoma was established
in 1929 but it took the hospital coun-
ell of the American Medical associ-
alton just 16 years to give it official
recognition at its meeting in Chi
cago, December 2, 1916. In the mean
time the cooperative hospital has be-
come one of the outstanding medical
institutions in Oklahoma. 1t erected a
new nurses home last year and has
plans underway to build a new clinic
building, add 10 new doctors and an
other dentist to the staff, and provide |
"the finest medical, surgical, dental |
and hospital care available anywhere"
The success of the cooperative hos
pital at Elk City led to the organiza-
ton more than 10 years later of the
South Plains Cooperative Hospital at
Amherst, Texas; the Northwest Com
munity Hospital at Moreland, Okla
homa the Achenback Memorial Hos
pital at Hardtner, Kansas; and the

Dear Miss Eastman:

Feb. Sd for the directors meeting
Due to the past meat packers strikes
we have been delayed in our shipping
program so will not be able to be
there. However, I have some opinions
if they are timely, that / would like
to contribute for your consideration
in your discussions.
Back in the early 1900s, the bureau
of reclamation filed, at Glendive, Mon
tana, for a 1000 second feet of water
from the Yellowstone river for our
project. They built canal that would
carry $50 second feet of water Up
until about 1926, when the farmers
took this project over, the bureau of
reclamation had never had the canal
filled even to this capacity. Soon
after the farmers took this project
over the acreage of sugar beets and
other crops adaptable to irrigation,
increased to such an extent that this
amount was not sufficient The ditch
was enlarged, at the farmers expense.
so that now it can carry 1900 second
feet of water. In the last Is years
or more, in order to satisfy the needs
of the water users, it has been nee
essary to fill the ditch to near capa-
city, for most of the irrigating sea-
son.
In the late 1930s, the board of con-
troll filed for an additional 300 second
feet of water. This was done for the
protection of the valleys water users
who have built fine homes in this pro-
ductive valley. Productive because
of irrigation.

attorneys of the bureau of reclama-

nize this filing. From my point of
view, when the Sloan-Pick plan is

meeting here today officials and di
rectors of Montana MVA association
of two MVA schools to be held il
Billings and Great Falls during last
half of March. Dates are not yet def
nitely fixed but the first school will
be held in Billings covering a two
day period. Lecturers, instructors
and equipment will then be moved
to Great Falls for a two-day program
Plans contemplate securing the sery-
ice of some ranking official from IVA,
one or more representatives from

several MVA regional officials Lee
turers and instructors will consist of
experts on various features of MVA
development such as state rights, wa

In accordance with preliminary
steps taken at the annual meeting of
association in Lewistown on JAN 10,
the directors perfected plans for ex-
pansion of the organization by addi-
ton of regional units, one of which is
to be organized in each of the IA jul
dicial districts of Montana Plans for
securing necessary finance were
mapped out in detail and set into mo-

Head OF R.E.A. TELLS OF EXPERIENCE
With The RECLAMATION BUREAU

sorry for the thousands of people who
live within it's borders.
After having studied Senate Bill No.
555, believe water rights, such as
we have, will be protected if this bill
can be made into law.
Back in the 1920s, before the farm
ers took this project over, it became
necessary to have a new contract
drawn. This contract provides for a
payment of five per cent of the gross
crop income, plus operation and main
tenance, which at first glance, seems
quite reasonable. After much study
by the joint boards of the two dis
tricts, this contract was turned down
by them. However, the attorneys
for the bureau of reclamation, cram
med this contract down the individual
farmers throat with threat of hav-
ing this project dismant1ed if they
did not sign this contract This is
precisely what was done with the prof.
ect at Williston, N. d. when they re-
fused to sign this contract. Time
has shown that this contract is not
workable because many of the crops
adaptable to irrigation have a very
high gross income but the high cost
of production leaves very little re-
naming for the building of homes
and other things necessary to make
farm life worth while. Many of the
younger generation are leaving the
farms just because of this.
The bureau of reclamation regional
office, who know conditions, have re-
peatedly recommended changes agree
able to the water users, to the com
missioner of the bureau of reclama-
ton at Washington, d. c. Appar-
emily, these have all been thrown into
the waste paper basket, because they
are never heard of again.
In my estimation, it is important
that the directors live in the regions
as the Senate Bill No. 555 provides,
so that they will be familiar with
| also believe that under
this bill, new contracts could be drawn
suitable to both parties.
Lam sure you are familiar with a
movement in the National Reclama-
ton association, to have a bill passed
by congress, whereby, that a higher
charge be made on power sold to the
various users. The earnings produced.

Formally, at any rate, Lewis and the
UNIV have been admitted to the A.

10 years ago.
What Lewis is up to is no secret.
1t is generally understood that Lew.

Such competition has been proceed

to muscle into labor fields outside

Since it was formed, about five
years ago, District so has organized
munitions, cosmetics and coke plant

dairy farming, and won out over the
CLIO in Philadelphia five weeks ago

Lewis now obviously hopes to use
the ALL to speed up his drive, and
also to help wreck the CLIO and pick

Lewis has been conspicuously hos
