MIDDLE MAN IS
THE GUILTY ONE
Iowa Farmer Shows Where Blame for
High Cost of Living Should be
Placed.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.S
NEW YORK, May 10. THE real
middle man, the individual, who makes
his profit by exacting tribute from
the necessities of life, is held UP to the
public gaze by Edward G.. Dunn, the
Iowa farmer, who organized the
Farmers Grain Elevators In the mid
die west, now in death struggle
with the grain trust.
Dunn declares that the way In
which the consumer is robbed is not
through the manipulation Of Chicago
and Liverpool prices, but by widening
the margin between local and Chicago
prices. He charges flatly that in Chi
caeo alone there are $4,000 people
making living off grain while doing
nothing toward getting 1T to the con-
sumer and that there are quite as
many In proportion in Minneapolis,
st. Paul, Duluth. Milwaukee, Kansas
City, st. Louis, Omaha, Council Bluffs
and other elevator cities
Dunn charges that Chicago terminal
elevators adulterate grain sent
through them and that as result
eastern mills will not accept Chicago's
gradings.
The only remedy, Dunn says, Is to
compel the eastern and western rail
roads to enter into forced traffic
agreement whereby the farmers of the
west will be furnished needed cars to
be sent directly through to the east
without being reloaded in Chicago. en-
failing elevator charges. In addition
he would maintain farmers elevators
and force the reform of grain inspec-
tion methods
