MILK MEN FIND
THEMSELVES IN
WALLACE'S GRIP
Government Bares Teeth in
Farm Relief: Permits
to Be Issued.
sty Prrippt-Hotrard ~S rtr*papcr Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 18. Li
censes which the agricultural ad
justment administration will im
pose on milk distributors and
processors actually will be govern
ment permits to do business.
Determination of the A. A. A. to
invoke its licensing system is the
first display of the iron hand with
in the velvet glove of the new farm
relief law. It is the decision of the
Roosevelt administration that re
calcitrant minorities handling food
products in interstate commerce
will not be permitted to upset
agreements among majorities in
their industries.
Licensing of milk producers would ,
work this way: If produceres, dis- j
tributors and processors of milk
within a given area reach a mar- j
keting agreement in which prices j
to be paid producers and prices to j
be charged retail customers are j
fixed, and its terms are favored
by the A A A , governmental ap- j
proval will be given.
All to Be Licensed
Then, all those who signed the.
agreement, as well as those who
did not, will be licensed. The pro- I
visions of the license will follow' j
the terms of the marketing agree- j
ment, and, generally, licensees who
decline to join the agreement will j
pay the same prices to producers j
as those who did sign.
The terms of the agricultural ad
justment act, regarding licenses are
broad and definite:
"In order,” says the law, ‘‘to ef
fectuate the declared policy <or this
act), the secretary of agriculture
shall have power ... to issue li
censes permitting processors, asso
ciations of producers and others to
engage in the handling, in the
current of interstate, or foreign
commerce, of any agricultural com
modity or product thereof, or any j
competing commodity or product
thereof.
Fines May Be Levied
"Such licenses shall be subject to j
such terms and conditions . . .as
may be necessary to eliminate un- i
fair practices or charges that pre- J
\ont, or tend to prevent . . . the!
restoration of normal economic con- j
riitions in the marketing of such
commodities or products . . . the
secretary of agriculture may sus
pend or revoke any such license
... for violation of the term and
conditions thereof.”
The law r also provides for fines of
not more than SI,OOO a day for each
day of the terms of a license are
violated.
The secretary likewise is empow
ered to require his licensees to
make detailed reports on their j
bmusiness, with special attention to
the prices paid for products
bought, and prices charged for
products sold.
M'KINNEY GOES TO
PARLEY AT CAPITAL
>
Leaves for Washington to See
Interpretation of Law.
E. Kirk McKinney, newly ap-!
pointed manager of the Indiana I
division of the federal home loan j
bank, left today for Washington to I
seek an interpretation of the new’ i
emergency law' designed to relieve I
home owners of the burden of 8 per |
cent interest on mortgages and
lengthening the repayment time to
fifteen years.
McKinney will explain to national
officials that banking examiners,
particularly those dealing with
building and loan companies, must
give "broad co-operation” in the j
federal plan. Ninety per cent of In- J
diana home mortgages are held by
such institutions.
McKinney also will learn if ap
pointment of a chief appraiser for
the state is necessary. Martin H.
Walpole, chief Barrett law' clerk and
McKinneys assistant, may fill the
post.

Utility Beaten in First
Skirmish of Rate Fight
Public Service Co.'s Motion
to Dismiss Procedure
Rejected Swiftly.
Opening round of the state ad
ministration's battle to reduce util
ity rates as won before the public
service commission today.
Motions to dismiss the rate re
duction procedure launched against
the Public Service Company of In
diana promptly were rejected by the
commissioners.
The case, involving the hundreds
of cities and towns throughout the
entire "south system,” will proceed,
it was announced by Chairman
Perry McCart of the commission.
The rate case as inagurated by
the commission upon information
filed by Sherman Minton, public
counselor, designed to show that the
company made $2,000,000 or more
excess profits last year.
Minton Assails Motions
Edward H. Heble of the Chicago
law’ firm of Cooke, Sullivan & Ricks,
appeared for the company.
He contended that Minton ex
ceeded his power as public coun
selor in filing a rate reduction peti
tion and that he had no right to
put the burden of proof on the com
pany.
His motions to dismiss were based
on these two points.
Minton assailed them both.
“We want to get to the merits
of this case and not waste our time
arguing procedure.” he declared.
"This company comes in with the
same old w’heeze and dodge that
rates can not be reduced this w’ay
or that.
"They are using the old trick of
setting up a straw man and then
knocking it down. I know that the
public counselor has no right to
institute a rate case by petition.
But the commissioners can and they
are the ones calling this hearing to
day.
Reach Decision Swiftly
“They are w’ell within their rights
to make the company show’ their
books and prove w’hether or not
present rates are unjust and un
reasonable.”
Commissioners reached a decision
to overrule the company motions
to dismiss without leaving the hear
ing room.
McCart said that the case had
been based on other showings in
addition to that made in the “bill
of discovery,” filed by Minton. He

pointed out that the company itself
comes in with “agreed .rates”. for
various communities, thus showing
present rates are wrong, and that a
dozen cities have filed for reduc
tions.
He urged, however, that a com

ences, rather than prolonged and

VAN CAMP FIRM
UIRECTURSSUEU
Mismanagement Is Charged
in Action Filed for
Stockholders.
Directors now in control of the
Van Camp Products Company, sub
sidiary of the defunct Van Camp
packing company, were charged with
mismanagement and illegal practices
at the expense of stockholders, in a
suit filed today in federal court by
Jessie E. Shubrick, of New Jersey,
a preferred stockholder.
Hundreds of Indiana stockholders
are interested in the suit, which
seeks court protection of their rights
and appointment of a receiver for
the Products company.
Charge is made that “dividends
were paid on common stock of de
fendant company” in violation of a
previous agreement with preferred
stockholders.
“The defendant corporation,” the
suit further alleges, “now is in con
trol of a board of directors, all of
whom were directors or officers dim
ing time of alleged mismanagement
or violation of fiduciary relation
and trust.”
The Products company formerly
acted a ssales agent for the packing
company and was declared bank
rupt in federal court Jan. 3.
Trade name and other assets, on
authority of the trustee in bank
ruptcy, recently were sold to a
Louisville packing concern. How
ever, the bankruptcy court ex
pressly reserved from the sale any
claims against directors based on
alleged mismanagement, according
to the suit.
