Pillsbury, the Minnesota miller, i'll
the chair as witness. In response
to questions by Senator Chandler
with reference to sale of the
Pillsbury and Washburn mills and
milling properties, the witness said that
the conveyance was made to Carey e
Whittredge, of New York, representing
London company. The property sold
included the G. A. Pillsbury & Co.,
mills with nominal capacity of about
10000 barrels day and the Washburn
cOmpany's mills with nominal capaci-
ty of about three thousand barrels. The
mills were at Minneapolis and Anoka,
MINI. The total nominal capa-
city was nearly $4,000 barrels: the
actual working capacity about 1850
barrels day, of the value of about
$4,000. In connection with these
mills there were sold about $50
elevators belonging to the Minneapolis
Elevator company, and lying along the
line of the Great Northern railroad the
Minneapolis Mill company, and the St.
Anthony Water Power company owning
water rights and stock in the small At
lantic Elevator company near the

tlon was about $S,OOOOOO, and in this
amount was included 81, $780, 900 cash

stock and 100000 debentureS of the
company formed by the syndicate.
The balance was in cash. The
syndicate company issued $1,000
600 in stock and S3,000,0G0 in
debentures. each share represent
ing $40. Among the American stock
holders Weae Morton, Bliss & Co. He
thought that the largest part of the
stock was owned in England. Mr..
Pillsbury said that under the terms Of
sale he agreed to manage the proper
ties for five years, though he sup
posed his services could be dis
pensed with earlier. Witness employed
700 or 500 men and the pay roll averaged
$3.50 day per man, which was IN
creased to S3.11 by voluntary distribu-
ton of profits by the firm. About one
half of the employees were native-born
and the other halt. foreign-born, includ-
ing Irish, Scandinavians and Germans.
He had no policy with respect to the
nationality of his men, employing the
best that could be had.
