Wrightley, head of the coop
division of Victor Reuther's
UAW-CIO Education Depart
ment, as he described the rea-
sons behind rising food prices
and told of the daily Fleeing
of unsuspecting housewives who
are overcharged and cheated in
devious ways by chain-store
gro cery operators throughout
the country.
IT h consumer cooperative
movement is nothing more or
less than economic democracy
in action, Wrightley declared
There is definite need for the
coop in our way of life, and in
this day of monopoly profiteer-
ing we had best move and move
quickly before all small busi-
ness is exterminated'' the speak
er added.
Plans for the establishment of
coop warehouse supermarketS
were discussed, and the methods
of doing business, details of pa
tron ge dividend distribution
and the coop system of grade
labelling were explained. A dis
play of canned goods, groceries,
and other items was provided,
together with a comparison of
coop prices with those of the
chain-store supermarkets. 1t was
brought out that savings of from
eight to twenty percent can be
effeced through operation of the
consumer-owned stores.
''The coop is sweeping the ma
tion," Wrightley told his audi
ence. 'Tt is the greatest thing in
years, and the answer to many
or mankind's economic worries.
Those who fail to see the neces-
sity of the consumer cooperative
movement as the only permanent
guarantee to a stabilized, secure
economy are simply kidding
themselves. It is peoples

Lobbyist Need A
Union. Says Marsh
Wonders About The
Integrity Of Congress

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Ben
Marsh, executive secretary of
the Peoples Lobby - veterans
legman in Washington for. all
sorts of progressive causes-has
come up with a cute idea. He
says that his fellow lobbyists
are getting unduly bad publicity
these days. What they need is
a union-"The Lobbyists Pro
tective Association. n"
One thing that Assn could dc
for the agents of the big cor
porations would be to help the
boys fill out the expense account
forms with the Lobbyists Regis
tration Act requires them to file
with Congress.
Spotlight On Lobbyists
But its greatest service would
be to force through law re-
quiring the Congressman them
selves to file reports on their
stock and bond holdings, their
real estate investments, and the
business connections of their rela-
tives. Why turn the spotlight
only on the lobbyists?
Marsh thinks that this data on
the Congressman would be in
teresting as is the m a e ri a !
which the lobbyists themselves
have to make public. The 80th
Congress passage of the tide
lands oil grab, which President
Truman vetoed but which the
COP 1948 platform endorses,
prompts Marsh to wonder about
the integrity of our lawmakers.

Govt Workers
Still Below
Woge Level

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
80th Congress- $3.50 a year pay
raise for federal employees still
leaves them way below 1889
real wage standards, Harold
Wool of the Govt Workers Or
ganizing Committee, an affiliate
of the Industrial Union of Mari
time & Shipbuilding Workers
CIO said last week. And he had
price increase figures to prove
it. Wool said the extra $120 that
the postal workers won was due
to the fact that 70 of them are
union members, as against only
10% of the classified civil SER
wants"
