Bill 19 Aims to Allow Farmers Collective Bargaining
Washington dispatch notes Rep Volstead seeks immediate House action on a bill permitting farmers to organize and contract for processing, marketing, and sales in interstate commerce. The measure, a compromise to widen coop power, preserves Clayton Act protections while enabling farm groups to form non-profit or limited-profit associations with strict voting and profit caps. The bill sets anti monopoly safeguards under Agriculture and Justice enforcement.
