SON Of FORMER
PRESIDENT HERE
ON GRAIN CASE
Robert o. Taft Represents Hoover
in Conference With North
Dakota Rail Board
SOME DECISION MAY BE
REACHED THIS AFTERNOON

Attorney Robert O. Taft of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, a son of former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft, and asso-
ciated with the United States attor
ney generals office, is in Bismarck
today for a special conference with
the railway commission and Chief
Deputy Grain Inspector J. o. McGov-
ern, Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor Hagan, and other state officials,
relative to the operation Of the 30-day
clause which Food Administrator
Hoover has decreed shall be attached
to all storage tickets.
Mr.. Taft, who is detailed to special
work in connection with the food adj
ministration, comes to North Dakota
in response to protests from the gov
ernor, rail board and other officials
against the unfairness of the 30-day
clause, which at the end of month
removes stored grain from the control
of the grower. He met with the rail-
way commission and other officials
briefly yesterday, but when seen at
the Grand Pacific stated that little
had bee, to'-e, uD so far.
Anticipates Adjustment.
II am here as representative OF
Mr.. Hoover in an effort to adjust this
situation without litigation said Mr..
Taft. 1T has been difficult for us TO
arrive. by correspondence, at a salts
factory understanding of farmers OBJ
,ectlons. For instance, we heard lit
tie of the seed wheat phase Of the
natter until just before left Wash
ington. It is my opinion that permis-
sion will be given for the storage OF
wheat which is distinctly intended for
seed.
'eWhile there is no absolute iniunc-
ton against a mans buying or selling
for a higher price than fixed by the
food administration, l think it is Mr..
Hooyer's intention to make this the
established price Under an arrange
ment with the millers, the government
will act as purchasing agent. and it
will, of course, do its buying at the
rrice which the committee has fixed.
Therefore, while speculation is not en-.
tirely prohibited. believe it can and
will be prevented, and that the farm
er need not fear his wheat is being
forced into the hands of spectators
through the 30-day clause. Mr.. Hoover
is very insistent that the farmer re-
ceiye a maximum price for his wheat,
as we'll as that the consumer be en-
abled to purchase his wheat at min

to be one OF the main factors in the

The combined figures OF coal load
cd by the 50 mines reporting to me
for The third week in September are
eery interesting, and in my opinion
Giscloses one OF the main reasons FOR
the serious shortage Of bituminons
coal among industrial plants. Out OF

foregoing statement does not tell ali
TO the initiated before we arrive

the Baltimore and Ohio and ears "a.

These amount 10 Isl cars, which
leaves hut 1877 cars from these 90
mines for commercial loading fer one
week, as compared with 1,102 cars
for 80 mines the previous week.
THE combined capacity of these
80 mines totals l99750 tons; the 2.48z
cars shipped contained 124.10O tons,
which leaves us short Of our capacity
by 1880 tons as compared with
1890 tons the previous week OF
the total amount not' shipped s per
cent, or 62,042 tons, is due to the
fact that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad failed TO furnish sufficient
cars at the mines to run them TO ca
pacity. in cars this amounts to 21S
daily
our shortage, referred to in last
weeks statement as 1900 cars, now
amounts to approximately 2.400 cars
due to the fact that we received such
small percentage Of commercial
cars during the third week in Sep
TENDER. We have laid this matter
again before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. calling its attention to
The gravity OF The situation in this
region, and we hope they will view
it in te light that we do and take
