Farmers win Hold Their Products
Until Proper Price II Paid.


| Omaha, Neb., June 1.-THE 20'
delegates called into convention b.
the American Society OF Equity yes
terday practically completed the or
ganIzation of the most formidable
combine ever attempted for the pur
pose of controlling the prices Of
grain, to be known as the Grain
growers Department of the Ameri
can Society OF Equity.
1t adopted a constitution and set
OF bylaws which plainly indicated
Its objects. They state In so many
words that the purpose OF the organ
ization is to control distribution and
name minimum price at which It's
members may dispose OF their farm
grain products, which are enumer-
ated as being anything from wheat
to broomcorn.
The matter of finances has not
been overlooked. and the organiza-
tion makes a pledge to its members
whereby they may borrow money In
any reasonable sum. which may be
secured by their holdings of grain
while 1t remains in granary or ele-
vator.
II was announced TO the meeting
that over 500 banks had pledged
themselves to make loans to the
members Of the association when en-
dorsements were made by properly
accredited officials. The convention
made itself felt In the matter of pol
tiles during the day. when Charles
A. Walsh, OF Ottumwa, Ia, former
secretary of the Democratic National
Committee and at this time an or
ganizer OF independence League
Clubs for Hearst. was given plainly
to understand that his presence in
the capacity of an organizer was not
required.
Mr.. Walsh dropped into the city
Tuesday, and 1t was stated that he
would endeavor to get his propa-
ganda before the convention. This
Idea was quietly bat promptly sat
down on. Many of the delegates did
not know of his presence at the con-
vention until after he had left tn
city yesterday afternoon.
With each committee report came
a revelation. When the finance
reported it was to the eff
feet that oil convention ovnaucaa hod
been arranged for and that good
fund was In sight for the field work
which is to begin at once. Chairman
Pauley of that committee and three
other members, ali bankers, were
in O statement that 535
banks over the country were ready
to furnish all the money necessary
to carry out the objects of the asso-
The plan Is to make low rate loans
to farmers on their grain after 1t is
threshed and hold ii In society gran
aries and elevators until the price
demanded Is available. The plan
also contemplates European
agency for shipping grain direct to
European markets.
A committee on crop intelligence
reported a plan whereby all informa-
ton Is to be withheld until 1t Is
called for by the association Stats
tician. A partial crop report was
made to the convention, In which 1t
was stated that wheat in Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Minnesota and
he Dakotas would average below 70
per cent of last years crop.
