Mr. Mcjnnes ' 1tad n.9 other al
-m i j t i ve but ,to for-oe•- _c nip -u .
snry' directing of,hogs in Ont-
; at i *4 .110 ,i as been acting like a.
mad' Mart but -he had" no other
course, other than to; force • the
conzpubion,' , of, all Market hogs
zn Ontario into. his' consignment,.
Wien this happens then this 24
• cents becomes a legitimate sell-
, ing commission';fer a "service••he.
performs:' from the :assembly
points
.1,fp:'•until this' time, ' this. 24
cents- has been a . levy, and is,
and has been, an 'indirect tax'
which they have.' "no authority
to collect.'. They never had, the
authority td make these levies , as.
they havebeen making':them. So
,you, . see 'it is , all in' the wayit
is. taken. .It can be a selling
'charge, e .and legtirriate,, provid-
ing the .hogs are consigned • to
them, but the question now
arises 'as to what • authority they
have in the •'first place, -: force;
this compulsory consignment up-
•' on you Or I as, .a hog producer.
You have . probably noticed
where , Parliament has conferred;
indirect , .taxation . rights : 'to' the
Cheese ' Producers .which means
now "that'the whole thing be-
comes invalid :on` its own Weight,
as it would' now require another.

ing whether Harris .was so crazy
paper, quote McInnes: "If we.
lose this campaign we lose our
ownbargaining. power". Also he
said, "I am convinced that today
we are getting $5 to $6 less per
-h1ag-td}4.4ould-have been
receiving'; had; we been allowed
Io, carry on: without interfer-
once, •
How foolish fools: cart talk.
Why 4oesn't he be ..Tore specific
'anal tell us' what the interference
is.
Nobody ever thought that' the
'packers or ' should. I say . "Meat
Packers Council",' ' Would ' have;
done what they did. The .packers
never got these orders frorn
Queen's Park -to.,do this.
The Farm • Produets.1VIarke.ting
Boad "Queen's Park'.' Would not.
and did not give ,xhese ord•.ers't¢:
the packers, It was just silly
Mcin:nes whorders to
gave, the o
them and the Packers were fool-
ish enough to accept it ' as the
law and so that' is the way ''it
goes:
Theonly People .n y p oplewho have tied
u e hog .:business are the
ONTARIO Packers. Nobody else
has tied it 'up. But who are you
or r to . judge ,others.; ; After all.
McInnes asked for it and ,they:
no 'doubt are . getting their hogs
much cheaper. '
Imagine after five long years
of: ihegall.v deducting. 24 cents
hog .. off ; 75: 'to ' 80 percent :ofyh'e
hog producers•of•'Ontario, ow
he • haS.,enough:nerve; to ask for
-the-pattern'. of the:.'whole' thing: _Just_ .nemore.LearL:.to
has been changed again .
"`.What the cheese affair'. was
when it., was voted on was one
thing and.now this makes.'it 'an •
.other thing;
Just like the. hogs,. in: 1945:.'a
producer proposal for ' a :,scheme
was:'voted' oil, but that was for
the .pr, opo al only, it. was not for
a marriage, as ;crazy: as this
volt seethese: fellows got a
law, but .for that law • they, had
to get , the requirement • in; ap=
proval: of ' producers,.
In ' other wFordsthey were not
to exercise '. and' put' . into force.
such' a compulsory.: measure• un-
less they':had,approval from :the
people "who .owned, the hogs..
Permit me to quote 'part ,o•f
a letter the Minister sent to Ack-'
inghead, quote •"T-he-appr-ov-alof
the producersexpressed .'by, their
'ballots is, as I • have- said, a fund
• amental of; our 'legislation, . and
the- ali-dity--of' the objectionns
that ,your .',compulsory direction
programs 'are •being;'.: put into
force without ,a, .vote is' over-
whelming. For this reason the
Government .of Ontario has de-
cided to instruct the Farm;. Pro-
Marketing Board to'con
duct a vote of . the hog • pr'oduc-
ers .,.ort the continuation'. of the
present 'Ontario- Hog . Producers
Marketing -Plan -.and: -regulations":-
The' Globe & Mail in 'Navem-
her 5th tissue ' mentioned' McInnis
as: the sparkplug' of the produc
ers ',organization. I would • 'sad*
'Hey' is the producers org aniza-

one goes along with his. thinkingi.

(Note -hog .prices, week : of No-
vember 11th,. ' 1957: 'Winnipeg.
$27.50, : Toronto; $26:50.) ,
Mr .1V[oinnes charges the pack
ing houses with bribing drovers.
What: about . the. •rnoney. the Co-
op 'is getting' today' under the'
table? Who pays the ,truckers
from' Harriston to different
plants? The farmer 'actually pays:
it. Why :is it that, .:Galbraith of
your Harriston Assembly Yards
tries tb' ` Make truckers' unload.
their hogs at Harristoif -for no '.
other reason but . to give the •
trucking', to a :couple of trans--
porters that • I . could . mention.
Could there he. any shady • busi-
mess, going On?. These are ',just.
a; few Of the 'Many. questions that

innataely not' against Co-operatives.,
grou • of farmers want
worm a.Co-op to `handle ,their

thing but a co-operative.
Let us 'not bp like the Niagara

if some pork has to be" sold', at

You, still
have. :a chance next
spring to decide ' Whether Or not
you,want Mclnnes and his •gaog
to monopolize,. thehog industry,
their .next plan being that of;
telling •the farmer how many.
