PLANNING FOR FIGHT
ON BLEACHED FLOUR
Government Anxious to Push
Cases Secretary Viii
son Stands Pat. "

Solicitor George II. McCabe, of the
Department of Agriculture, and his as
sistants were busy this morning out
lining the method OF prosecution In the
bIeached -four cases which will be tried
in United states courts in six States
before snow flies.
Then seizures of interstate shipments
have been made and the department is
anxious to have the eases just as soon
as possible The attorneys for the de-
tense. however. viii be shown every
courtesy. so far as time Is concerned,
IN order that the validity Of Secretary
Wilson's bleached -four order may be
adjudicated upon full and fair hear
ing.
Last week, a newspaper story was
sent out from Omaha TO the effect that
Secretary Wilson had abandoned his
tight on bleached -four. The millers all
over the country were jubilant, believ-
ing they had won a great victory and
had saved themselves the expense Of
tearing out the costly bleaching ma
cbinery which has lately been installed.
Is STANDING Pat"
But Secretary Wilson has no thought
OF abandoning his order, according to
the statements Of Mr.. McCabe who is
IN charge Of the prosecution. Interstate
shipments of bleached flour win be
seized BY the department so long as
they are necessary 10 cover all the
points Of the order prohibiting such
shipments
The report that the prosecution had
been abandoned evidently grew out of
khe refusal Of the department to try
q test case In Omaha as was original
j. determined upon.
Attorney I'd 2. Smith, Of Omaha, rep
resenting Nebraska millers. came 10
Washington and supposed he had
complete agreement that the first seiz-
ure Of bleached -four should be in Oma-
IA and the test case should be fought
put there.
Governments Stand.
The Attorney General did not see ft
20 live Up to this agreement but deter
mined TO try out the validity of the
order anywhere the inspectors should
make the seizures.
The famous bleached -four order was
ISSUED several months ago and prohibit
ed the interstate shipment of -four arti-
6cially bIeached. It met with instan-
7aneous opposition among the millers,
particularly among those who use the
hard or winter wheat. They insisted
that they could not compete with the
Northern millers who use spring wheat,
unless they were permitted to bleach.
They produced some of the leading
agricultural chemists in the country TO
show that bleaching Is not deleterious,
but the Secretary stood firm for his
order.

Mineral Oil
Exports Increase
Figures for This Business Reveal
Prices Lower Than During Early
Years of Industry.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-Mlneral oil was
one of the few products of the United
States, which showed an increase in it's
exports during the year ending June 80
last, the year being one of declining ex-
ports in our trade as a whole, according to
a report issued by the bureau Of statistics.
The increase in oil export during the
year was more than 100, 900, 900 gallons, with
an increase in value of nearly $1,000, 900.
Since the product began to be an article
of export about a half century ago, more
than 81, OOO, 100000 worth of the oil has been
exported,
The production of oil in the United
States has increased eight-fold since 1879.

Mineral oils exported during the last
fiscal year were valued at $l06, 900, 900,
which was about double those of a decade

prevailing in 1909, however. were mater
tally less than those Of earlier years.
The value of the exports has increased
1876 per cent since 1850, but the gain in
quantity has been 26S per cent.
