lution adopted by the Polish National

sociation, will go to Washington Fri
day ns a representative of co-opcr-ative
grain and livestock associations
in 11 middle western states to pro
test to congressional committees con
sidering food legislation against fix
ing maximum prices for farm pro
ducts. Farmers nnd grain dealers
are opposed to price fixing, Mr.
Slirotliill said, "except ns a Inst re
sort and unless it is evident the com
modity is in control of a monopoly."
Mr. Shorthill snid he would appear
"especially for the grain producers
of the middle west." lie said he would
represent associations in the follow
ing states: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Ok
lahoma nnd Colorado.
"We are opposed to government
legislation fixing maximum prices for
any commodity unless it is known to
be under monopolistic control or un
less it is to break a seciilative cor
ner," snid Mr. Shorthill. "Tho agri
cultural interests of the west are un
alterably opposed to government in
terference with the prices of farm
products in nnv degree."
The agricultural interests, however,
would not oppose fixing a minimum
price for farm products, Mr. Short
hill snid, but neither would thev ad
vocate legislation to that end.
