The wholesale Irvine dealers of Minneapolis
are complaining because the penitentiary is
selling binding Irvine to consumers at a less
price than they can sell the same grade of twine
to the dealer. The Irvine plant was established
there for just that purpose. and no one in Min
nesota will have much sympathy with the
agents of the cordage trust, now that they are
having the screws applied to them. A few years
ago Irvine could not be sold for less than ten
cents per pound; now it is different.-St James
Plaindealer.
