MILITARY REFORM ASKED XEW ORGANIZATION" DEMANDS CHANGE IN COCRTSMARTIAL. DAIRYMEN OUTLINE PLANS rTIXITX PLANTS TOPIC AT CHE- f HALIS SESSION. JLewis-Pacific Association Organized to Handle Milk on Co . operative Basis. " CHEHAL1S, Wash., May 25. (Spe cial.) The meeting of dairymen at Chehalis yesterday, under the auspices of the Lewis Pacific Dairymen's asso ciation, attracted a large attendance. Seven of the organized counties of Washington were represented, and prominent dairymen from Oregon also were present. An all-day conference was held, presided over by J. A. Scoll ard of Chehalis, president of the local organization and head of the Mutual Dairy association for the state. Following a forenoon session Mr. Scollard entertained the visitors at noonday luncheon at the Hotel St. Hel en's. Later an automobile trip into the country was made, and an afternoon session held. At night Geissler's hall was packed with dairymen to hear re ports of the progress made in or ganizing the plan for co-operative han dling of the dairy products of the mem bers who have joined the organizations. The first business of Importance was to discuss the building of utility plants with which to handle the product from the herds of the members. It is intend ed that these plants shall be owned co operatively and that they shall be so operated to manufacture milk by products. The meeting was enthusias tic. President A. Deatz. of the Oregon league, urged united backing of the of ficials who are trying to work out the problems confronting the producers. President Scollard,- in presenting the plans suggested for obtaining better returns to the producers, stated that thus far it had been impossible to gain any concessions from the condenser cor poration. He outlined how plants might be built for manufacturing and marketing the products of the dairy men. Mr. Scollard said that the time now riad arrived for the dairymen to finance their own manufacturing plants. To this end articles of incorporation of the Lewis-Pacific Dairymen's association were filed at Olympia yesterday, with a. capitalization of $85,000. Chehalis is named in the articles as the princi pal place of business of the corporation. J. A. Scollard, H. R. Shoultz. J. C. Bush, A. N. Bennett and V. M. Bullard are tiamed as the incorporators. It is planned to operate on a mutual basis. Under the plans outlined by the as sociation, each menraer is bound under penalty to turn into the association all the milk he produces. Every member must take stock in the organization at the rate of $10 a cow, with a minimum stockholding of J50 for five cows or less. Arrangements for the stock sub scriptions to be paid in installments .re provided. 10 per cent cash, balance aj. 7 per cent, payable in two years or less. Basing the total number of milk ing cows in Lewis county at 15,000 head, it is estimated by the association management that at least 10,000 of these will be represented in its opera tions. Before active work is done, at least 5000 cows must be represented. Location of the site for any plant or plants has not yet been determined. Mr. Scollard showed that in other sec tions producers, by working co-operatively, are getting greater returns than here. By handling their own product, he said, the members can obtain a high er return than under the present plan. Four or five solicitors will at once be put into the field to canvass the dairy men for stock subscriptions. Disposal of the output through a central mar keting agency is planned by those back of the move. ' Among those who addressed the meet ing were: President Costello, of the King county association; Manager John eon, of tho Satsop cheese factory: Mr. Knutsen of King county, Mr. McCloud of Whatcom county, M. D. Schrock, of the Oregon league; President McKinney, of the Pierce county organization, and C. A., Gihlin, manager of the recently organized Toledo cheese lactory. Backers of Plan Say They "Will Go Into Politics if Necessary, to Get Action. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Enlisted men who am veter ans of the recent war are being or ganized into what is to be known as the National Society for Military Re form, the purpose of which is to de mand reforms in the military system and, particularly, to work for an over turning of the present courtmartiai system. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has been asked to introduce a. bill in the senate to incorporate" the new society. Sergeant Hugh Jeffries of New Tork, who served with the engineers in France, .is. here .conducting the prelim inary organization work. No commis sioned officers will be admitted to the organization. "I know from close association for many months with men who have been fighting in France," said. Sergeant Jef fries, "that they are determined to put an end to the autocratic powers vested in military officers of the American army which have been so leariully abused in thousands of instances dur ing the last two years. The men are dead sore over the multitude of exces sive courtmartiai sentences which have been imposed upon minor offenders. The soldiers who went to France, full of enthusiasm and believing in our army methods and forms of organiza tion are returning home with their views entirely changed, and they are bent upon effecting radical alterations. "They have suffered from the auto cratic exercise of power to an extent that they will not admit officers to their new, organization, knowing that the latters' viewpoints and interests are totally opposed to those of the pri vates. A bill will be speedily intro duced in the United States senate pav ing the way for a formal recognition of the new organization. It will neces sarily be in politics to quite an extent as the best method of bringing about the proposed reforms. What we want is to have justice administered in the army the same as it is in civil life. Nor should officers have more power over their men than is granted to civil officials in judicial positions. In my own company of engineers all of us volunteers we knew none of the officers placed over us until after they had been appointed. Some of them were efficient and some were not. There was considerable trouble over the incapable ones. Yet these men held the power of life and death over us and there was no recourse. "Ask any returning soldier and he will tell you practically what I have stated; that the army organization is autocratic and that it breeds injustice to the. men who serve in the ranks. But the boys are coming home with their minds fully made up to put an end to this state of things. You just watch us!" .WASHINGTON, May 25. Congress starts Its second week tomorrow with leaders planning to continue the swift pace in legislation set during the open ing week.
