PHONE INVESTIGATION Propaganda Fund PMpd Hf Grain IrUtttfa , An investigation t>y the federal trade commission of the $250,000 propaganda fund pledged by the big grain •interests of the country for a propaganda campaign against farmers' cooperative marketing of grain has begun in Illinois, according to word received by the McHenry County Farm Bureau from the Illinois Agricultural association. Leaders of the grain dialers in the campaign against farmers may be called before, Washington officials in the course of the investigation. The investigation follows a resolution in the U. S. senate by Senator fcenyon which asks that inquiry be made to learn who is paying the fund, who are the leaders, in the effort to kill farmer competition and other facts. The Illinois Agricultural association is submitting to government officials evidence to show that grain dealers are spending thousands in propaganda to paint the co-operative farmer as a "red" and "Townleyite." R. I. Mansfield of the Chicago board of trade, who, the government was informed, was the leader in the attack on farmers' co-operatives, is said to have declared in a speech at Lansing, Mich., that members of farmers' co-operative grain marketing" associations were "Bolshevists," "socialists," "anarchists," "Townleyites" and "cats."

The posters are bring sent w local grain dealers with instructions to put them in public places. The posters imply in screamingfred letters that the co-operative farmer is a "radical" and "Townleyite" and advise farmers to write to the propaganda committee of the big .irrain interests for "legal advice." In a letter to grain dealers sent out last week this propaganda committee declares that it is making an effort to enlist bankers on its side in the fi i':ht against farmers' co-operatives. A letter has been sent to all bankers it', the state. McHenry county realizes the value of co-operative marketing and the great importance of maintaining a coopeiative marketing association for the handling of their milk. The fight against grain marketing will, without doubt, be directed against all Farmers' Co-operative Marketing associations, including the Chicago Milk Marketing association. ; Misses Mabel Powers and Clara Dunkard of Milwaukee, Wis., passed the latter part of last week in the home of Mr. and Mrs. M.

Courier, Wednesday, Aug. 8] W. J. Kittle of Crystal Lake today resigned as superintendent of the Milk Producers' Co-operative Marketing company. His successor is yet to be named. Kittle's action came at a meeting of members of the executive committee and delegates called together in Chicago to map out a price program and take other stepe to organize a 100 percent marketing company. Altho officials were reticent in discussing the situation it was learned that efforts wiii be made to enroll every dairyman in the'producers' association covering practically all of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. The former superintendent becomes sales manager of the marketing company, which work he has been closely associated with. f-:r several months. He will handle i>.e product of the company's condensed milk plants. "There was too much work for one man," said Kittle in explaining his resignation. "As superintendent I also had charge of the sates end of the business." According to Kittle, who three weeks ago denied to The Courier that he planned to resign, the office of superintendent .will not be filled for at least tvyo or three weeks. "There will be nothing more given out today," he told reporters. "We were in conference again yesterday but did not finish all of our work. It is hardly possible that the August price for milk will be fixed today or at least until late this afternoon." Chicago dealers explained there is no dispute over the price to be paid for this month's milk. At the Chicago plant of the Bowman Dairy company an official stated that the marketing company has asked them to wait a few days before going into conference over the new price. He predicted there will be xyi change in the present schedule. / That the Victoj^Mey company, with a bottling plant at Huntley, has refused to pay the "bottling plant" price, announced exclusively in The Courier last night, was admitted by Mr. Kittle this morning. r "The Mey company," he stated, "is the only one to oppose the two price schedule being worked out by the marketing company. "The difference in the amount paid Huntley farmers by Mey for June milk and what the company should have paid is about $8,000. Unless a settlement is reached we will begin suit for this amount." Mey company checks were distributed by the marketing company at Huntley this morning. The price paid was $1.40 >sr hundred pounds;. The bottling plant price W*S .previously announced at $2.06. As a result of the action of the Mey company, the Marketing company* omited the 10 per cent spread declared against June milk. jg^ntemplated moves of marketing company members against dealers who purchase milk on the qpen market have so far failed to materialize except at Elburn and v Sycamore. Striking farmers were still out today. The Kendall and DeKalb county members of the marketing company cut off their supply of milk ,when the Bowman and Borden, companies refused to drop" • patrons.. who have failed to join the co-operative association. The action is similar to that tal^en at Bassett, Wis., and. Alden, 111., a month ago. - No changes were reported. in ^.conditions among farmers at Dundee or Algonquin, where the entire milk,sup;) ply is purchased by the Bowman com-, pany. - , „ ... Constable Frank Sherwood has -beenappointed receiver for the Fartners' Milk company at S^ttonj which filed bankruptcy proceedings last -.week. Announcement was hiade today that the first meeting of creditors "will be held Thursday, August 11* in Referee S. C. Eastman's office in Chicago. Edwin Geister of Elgin is attorney for the creditors, who numtter about-sixty- five. It has alio been, learned that a lien against the Milk Producers' Cooperative Marketing company's plant at Pecatonica has been filed in the Winnebago county circuit court by C. B. Moore & Co. The lien is for $93,160.17. W. J. Kittle, who has resigned af superintendent of the marketing company, .succeeded Charles H. Potter of Elgin. Potter was ousted when the office of manager, which he had heid since the company's organization, was abolished. 18.40 31.12 17.22 Joe Engeln, lbr on ww.. , Wm. Schaefers *nrinkK«» 5*5, Geo.
