Farmer Gets Receipt at Ele-

the Government.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-There was one
buyer in, the Chicago wheat marke,

board of trade. He was Uncle Sam and
he had an office in the Otis building
two blocks from the board. There was
one basic price. 1920, fixed by Presi-
dent Wilson. The method used was
very simple. The man who received
the wheat had it placed in an ele-
vator, obtained a receipt from the ell
evator, took his receipt to the Otis
building and got his money.
Government Buying Starts.
Government buying Of wheat began
today and proceeded as automatically

Did Not Help in Washing
ton Fight but Now Seeks
to Stir Discomfort.
Disloyal Cry Of estrike"
Given Impetus by Plans
For Talkfest.

Fargo, N. D.. Sept, 4.-The action
of President A. C. Townley of the
Nonpartisan league in calling meet
ings at Fargo. September II and st.
Paul, September 18, 10 and 20, to pro-
test the action Of the grain price-fix-
ing board, has been. received with
varying sentiment in North Dakota.
In this state. everything that Presi-
dent Townley undertakes is looked
upon as POLITICAL. and the first con-
sideration now being given to the
most recent step by the league presi-
dent is the political effect. .S
The Nonpartisan league has been
founded on the cry that the middle
men" have been exacting a high toll
from the producers of grain. They
have charged that grain, in the fall,
has been forced to low prices, while
the values are shot upwards when the
grain passes into the hands Of the
middle men, or SPECTATORS. ft
Now the government has eliminat-
ed the middle men. It has done away
with the trading in the grain pits OF
the country, abolishing futures. etc.
Right down the line, the government
gram professed to want.
Didn't Help in Real. Fight.
With the middle man issue gone.
the league president has now turned
his attention to the price PROPOSE
ton. When the question of fixing a
price was brought up in Washington,
the Nonpartisan league chief didn't
become active until after the Grand
Forks and Fargo Commercial clubs
had sent delegates to Washington,
and 1t is a fact that the only delega-
tion heard by the committee was that
joint-city deputation.
In making the call for the meeting
! to protest the price of grain, which
President Townley says the farmers
feel ts, too low. the league head has
Ever since the league was placed un-
der way; President Townely and the
other leaders have been working on
the theory that the laboring man and
the producers interests were identi-
cal. Now the farmers organization
demands a higher price for grain,
while the consumers of the nation
wants lowered price.
| To Offset the possibility of AN open
split between the farmers and organ
ized labor. President Townley has an
tnounced that "workingmen will be in
vited to attend the coming confer
ences."
The action of Townley in stirring
up the feeling that the government
price is low, coupled with the activi-
| ty of his subsidized press, has had the
effect Of creating more or less dissat-
isfaction with the price, and the
leagues threat to "strike," may be-
tcome reality. h,
