Union of Farmers and Labor Forges New Organization
Des Moines October 3. An effort to cut out the middleman and market farm products direct to city consumers has formed a union of farmers and city men arising from a two day conference. Pred C. Canfield of Cedar Rapids is president of the Iowa State Federation of Labor and R. G. McOneill of Columba Junction is secretary. The group seeks to reduce profits extracted by middlemen and to give farmers a larger share of profits while acknowledging farmers bear production risks.

Will Test Highway Commission Right to Reject Paying Bid
A Wyoming or Iowa type court action seeks a writ of mandamus to force the state highway commission to approve a paving contract for two and a half miles of the Fort Des Moines road. The case tests powers of the commission under road laws in granting state and federal aid and approval of permanent work. The dispute centers on whether the commission may refuse to approve the Polk County contract with James A Carey & Son of Clinton for paving and funding. More than a hundred people in the United States have bought or ordered all planes in the last three months.
