Defeat of consumer bill praised
AiIiANG'iUH, Va. --
Poultry and Egg Institute of
America (PEIA) President
Don C. Beaver recently
hailed what he termed
“grass roots” political ac
tion on the part of PEIA
members and member state
associations to defeat H.R.
6805, a bill to create an Office
of Consumer Represen
tation. The U.S. House of
Representatives voted 227 to
189 last week against the
measure.
Beaver said that PEIA’s
Board of Directors had
unanimously agreed to
oppose any ■ such agency
when legislative action
began on earlier measures
several years ago.
“The Institute, for the past
several years, has engaged
in a strong opposing action
with Members of Congress.
We alerted our membership

am. member state
associations as these
measures moved forward,
urging that they alert their
members,” said Beaver.
“Industry and association
members are to be ap
plauded for their strong and
swift action. This find of
grass roots effort from the,
poultry and egg industry
undoubtedly was a factor,
along with the enormous
efforts by groups across the
country, in bringing about
the defeat of this bill,” he
emphasized.
The same kind of grass
roots action" is needed now,
Beaver said, in opposing S.
1883, the so-called Labor
Reform Act. PEIA’s
directors are convinced it is
not the Federal govern
ments’s role to aid union
organizers.
“As we have indicated to
Div. of Carnation
Buck, Pa.
284-4464
the Senate Human
Resources Committee, we
believe it is not the function
of the Federal government
to come to the aid of union
organizers faced with a
declining membership. We
are especially concerned
about provisions in the bill
which provide for quick
elections,” Beaver stated. “I
am hopeful that the same
powerful factions within our
industry which helped to
defeat H.R. 6805 will rally to
prevent passage of this
unwanted legislation.”
