CO-OPERATIVE PLAN OF BUYING ENDED In-Com-Co Club’s Action Held | == Unrelated to Recent Attack. The In-Com-Co Club, employes’ wel- fare organization of the Interstate Commerce Commission, has discon- tinued co-operative buying for mem- bers, which had been assailed by Rep- resentative Shannon, Democrat, of Missouri, in charge of the investiga- tion into Government competition with private industry, but not as the result of the attacks, George B. McGinty, sec- Tetary to the commission, said today. Denies Accusations. Defending the commercial activity, which was on a non-profit basis, Mc- Ginty said the employes themselves had given it up because increased work and shortened staff required that everybody devote all their time to their duties. In this connection, though, he empha- sized but little time had been required for the club venture. A statement ln.rlbueed to Represen- tative Shannon in a Chicago speech last month quoted him as saying the club was buying in carload lots, using Government trucks for _distribution, and that Washington merchants were complaining. Mr. McGlnty said such a charge was without foundation. Virtually all pur- chases were made in Washington, he said, the business of the employes being solicited by local dealers, with discounts made possible by the mass purchasing. The club itself solicited no business, Mr. McGinty said, and in many instances the employes paid the merchants directly for the purchases made through the club. Anytl could be bought this way, he said. Maintained No Stocks. The club maintained no stocks, ac- cording to McGinty. A circular, signed by Ord L. Strayer, as director of pur- chase, advising that a small amount of stores on hand were to be disposed of by yesterday at reduced prices, re- ferred to some supplies that had been picked up at minimum cast, it was ex- plained. Edibles, extracts and anti- ¥reeze solutior made up the list. The club’s venture was the outgrowth of a World War development, when the employes conducted their own restau- rant in the basement of the commission. 2.STORY HOUSE LOST KANSAS CITY, September 16 (#).— ¥To the list of lost articies reported to police was added today a two-story seven-room frame house.
