Farmers Get Something Done

| tuT6, ana the failure Oh sCflt depart
ment to use legal authority it has at
its command to stem the decline in
farm prices.
"The most amazing political
phenomenon in Washington" he
said, SIS not only how the present
administration continues to ignore
the present farm depression, but
continues to feed it by hammering
down farm prices when the price
of practically everything else con-
tinues to rise +.
FUCE CONTINUES TO GROW
E. A. Syftestad, manager of Farm
ers Union Central Exchange, st.
Paul, in his annual report to Mon
tana patron-owners of the regional
coop wholesale, Thursday, detailed
the continued very satisfactory
growth of the organization in the
last year, looked ahead to an even
larger volume of supplying farmers
needs in 1856, and called attention
to the $2,200,0OO retirement of out
standing 1947 shares representing
dividends local co-operatives earned
by buying through the exchange. To
date FUCE has refunded more than
SIT million in savings to local co-ops
for distribution to their farmer pa
irons.
Syfstestad also told of the new
FUCE headquarters building now
under construction in st. Paul, and
how this building had become neces-
sary because of the volume of ex-
change sales increasing by leaps and
bounds with each passing year.
FUCE supplies farmers primarily
in Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Wis
consin and Montana with petroleum
products manufactured in the ex-
changes own modern refinery at
Laurel, tires, batteries, electrical APP
planes, machinery and other equip
ment needed by northwest farmers.

WISCONSIN UNIONS FIGHT
nRIGHT-TO-WORK" BILL
PUSHED BY C OF c

Wisconsin unions were rallying
their forces this week against the
threat of an anti-union "right-to-
work" law in the final session of
the Legislature now under way.
The threat came from the State
Chamber of Commerce and other
employer groups.
The Chamber of Commerce re-
vealed that it has drafted Fright
to-Work" bill. Officials said if the
Legislature failed to accept the bill
they would continue to attempt TO
outlaw union security contracts
through referendum on the
ballot.
Gov. Walter Kohler, who seldom
sees eye-to-eye with labor, has i'm
dicated, however, that he would
oppose a "Right-to- Work" bill.
Kenneth Homes, state president of
the Farmers Union, has de-
nounced the bill as against the in
terest of both farmers and labor.

Webster Back
Again Sundayto
Haunt Redskins
By LEWIS F. ATCHISoN


You'll be sitting in on a chap
ter of a Horatio Alger story
Sunday if you're one of some
10000 fans-depending on the
weather - expected at Griffith
Stadium for the Redskins New
York Giants game. This modern
day Alger is Alex Webster. and
but for mistake in judgment
he'd be packing the pigskin for
the Redskins.
Coach Jim Lee Howell Of the
Giants calls the 2l0-pound Web
ster the s'best running half
back in the business" Lou
Little of Columbia, who once
coached at Georgetown, went
even farther, hailing him as the
"best broken-field runner since
Cliff Battles" but even If he
stretched it a bit, Lou at least
recognized that the young man
was no run-of-the-mii1e back.
Wasn't Given a Chance
The Redskins took Alex to
camp two years ago. having
picked him 18th in the draft,
George Marshall insisted on his
selection, after watching Alex
pace North Carolina State to its
upset victory over Maryland in
1852. But Marshall allowed Coach
Curly Lambeau to cut the boy,
even though Webster had NO
chance to show his ball-carrying
ability during a disastrous exhi-
bition trip. He was used strictly
on defense and, after one glaring
error against the Pittsburgh
Steelers, got his walking papers
Webster's future was darker
than the inside Of an inkwell.
With nothing to lose. Alex dis
patched a telegram to Peahead
Walker, former Wake Forest
coach. who had taken over the
Montreal Alouettes. 1t was in
the old vaudevillian "have tux
will travel" vein, but honest.
Came Through for Walker
Montreal was Alex last hope
He had no job and his wife was
expecting an addition to the
family.
But Walker came through
with a job and Webster didn't
disappoint him, Alex, now "a,
was voted the most valuable
member Of the Alouettes in 1858.
A year later he led the Canadian
league in yards gained and
touchdowns. putting the Red
skins. Detroit Lions and Giants

it. Alex is the teams leading

Associations ddsWichito;
Miomi Bids for Syracuse

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. (P.-
Wichita became a member Of the
American Association today as a
farm club Of the Milwaukee
Braves in place Of the abandoned
Toledo club.
The Triple-A league, after a
four-day franchise wrangle
finally ironed out its dif1iculties
by successfully negotiating with
the Western League for its Kan
sas territory.
The deal was completed 16
hours after Milwaukee reluctantly
agreed to discard its plan to
move the Toledo franchise to
Miami. The Florida city's hope
for a Triple-A ball was revived,
however, by reports that an in
surance executive, Sid Solomon,
had requested an option to pur-
chase the Syracuse club In the
International League for the pur-
pose of moving 1t to Miami.
Help for Western League
In order to acquire Wichita.
the association paid $4,000 to
the Western League and prom
ised to option 10 players to the
eventual replacement for Wich-
ita. Also Milwaukee. which now
owns the Wichita club, will have
a limited working agreement
with the new Western League
city, which is expected to be
Hutchinson. Kans.
O'Neal Hobbs, president OF the
Western League. disclosed that
three cities were under con-
sideration as q replacement for
Wichita. Although he did not
identity any of the cities, 1t
was learned that Topeka, Kans..
and st. Joseph. Mo-, were the
others besides Hutchinson. The
departure of Wichita came
exactly one year after the loss
of Denver and Omaha to the
American Association. The be-
leaguered Western, which oper-
ated with six clubs last season.
recently added Amarillo, Tex,
and Albuquerque, N. Mex.
Miami came back into the pic
ture when Marty Haske. owner
Of the Syracuse club, said he had
been asked by Saloman for an
option to purchase the franchise
and transfer 1t to Miami. Haske
put a 100000 price of the club.
He had been negotiating with o
local group in Syracuse but in
dicated he would listen to
Saloman's offer.
The international League long
had eyed the associations
gesture toward Miami with APP
prehension because 1t desired
the Florida city as a natural
link with Havana.

tive vice president Of the st

Vote on Amendments
With the major franchise
headache on the way to settle
ment. the minors today get
down to the real meat of the
convention when they vote on
81 amendments to the major
minor league rules and the
National Association agreement
at a closed executive session.
Among the most important
proposals are amendments that
would toss out the controversial
bonus rule, set up an unre-
stricted draft for "flrst-year
players" and restrict radio and
television broadcasts of big
league games in minor league
territory. Another amendment
would require the majors to
abide by the 25-player limit all
season. thus making more talent
available for the minors.
