The farmers and threshermen met
yesterday at the court house in response
to a call from the county council of de-
fense for the purpose of agreeing upon
an equitable price for threshing this
years crop and to discuss other prob
lens relating to the harvest.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman of the defense council, who
stated the object of the meeting. 1t was
pointed out that there was a great lack
of understanding and much dissatisfac-
ton among both the farmers and thresh-
ermen relative to the price to be charged
this year; that this dissatisfaction was
causing a great deal of discussion and
working to the disadvantage of all con-
cerned. He asked that the farmers and
threshermen each appoint committee
of three to represent them and that
these committees with the executive
committee of the council of defense set
as an adjusting board to adjust all of
the many questions that were confront
ing the farmers and threshermen rela-
tive to the threshing.
The threshermen selected as their
committee A. ]. Draper, Walter Town
and Frank Jones The farmers named

ALLIES SHOOT At
BACKS OF GERMANS
CROWN PRINCE DEF ATE d
CANNOT HOPE FOR RELIEF
BEFORE SEPTEMBER

LONDON.-The capture of Plessier
Huleu ridge by the allies Thursday was
expected to result in the rolling up of
the enemy line north of Scissors and
get rid of the Plessier wood, which had
been a. great obstacle to the allied ad-
vance.
The situation now is that the Germans
are facing west and the allies are shoot
ing at the enemy's back and enfilading
him down the northern part of the Crise
valley.
1t is believed that the eneny's retreat
will be continued and that he cannot
avoid an eventual retrograde movement
behind the Aisne or the Vesle, which
would mean the collapse of the crown
princes offensive, at least until Septem-
Der, when the 1920 class will be put in
the field. This class will yield 4OO,O0O

COUNTY FIXED AT III CENTS

By motion made and carried it was
unanimously voted that these commit
tees, together with the executive COM
mittee of the council of defense, act in
all differences between the farmer and
threshermen.
The two committees met with the exc
cutive committee of the council of de-
fense last night The threshermen in
sisted that Is cents for wheat in sacks
and II cents in bulk per bushel was a
proper price for threshing this years
crop. The farmers were equally insist
ent that the price should not exceed 16
AND II cents.
+ The matter was finally left to the
members of the defense council and the
price was fixed at II IA cents for sack
ed wheat and 10 ~ for bulk. These
prices to be based on weight and to
govern under normal conditions. The
prices for other grains were not fixed
1t is understood that full schedule of
prices will be worked out for the various
grains and varying conditions at an
early date.
While there was some misunderstand-
ing as to the time of meeting, it was
we'll attended and it is felt that start
has been made along line that will
eventually work out to the advantage

short time will be spent at Genesee for

One thing has been definitely settled,
the party will not go to Lake Waha.

SUES FOR 100000
Ann Arbor Railroad Defendant In Big
Damage Suit.

The Superior Coal Co. of st. Charles,
Mich. which owns and operates the
coal mines in New Haven township, has
started suit for 100000 against the
Ann Arbor Railroad. The company
says that it took over the New Haven
mines in November, 1916, and that
since that time the railroad company
has failed to furnish sufficient cars for
for its needs.
1t is set mp in the bill of particulars
that a state geologist has tested the
qualitysof coal mined in New Haven
and has found it to be of quality
equally as good as that mined any
where in Michigan. Several thousand
dollars have been invested by the com.
pany, it claims, by putting in ne v
machinery and equipment for the pur.
pose OF enabling it to produce coal on a
large scale, but because of the rail
roads alleged failure to provide cars
the mining company has been unable to
carry out its plans.
The company alleges that with proper
transportation facilities it would be
able to produce as high as 1000 tons of
coal per day, but that in view vf the
lack of transportation facilities it has
not been able to keep it's mines running
regularly. This necesstated laying off
it's miners frequently, the company al.
leges, and has given it reputation
'mong coal miners as poor place to
work because of the irreguarity of the
employment. The company claims that
1t had difficulty operating even on a
small scale because of the difficulty it
has encountered in getting help, due to
this reputation.
The coal mining company charges the
railroad with failure and refusal to
furnish cars for the transportation of
coal, failure and refusal to have suffi-
cient cars and motive power to meet all
requirements Of the output of the
mines, discrimination between shippers
and points Of shipment, and refusal to
provide and maintain schedule of
freight rates on the branch line running
to the New Haven mines.
The plaintiffs allege that the railroad
has furnished plenty of cars for the
transportation of sugar beets an" other
freight.
The spur track running to the New
Haven mines is the one which the rail-
road company year or two ago plan
ned to tear up. Protests were made to
the state railroad commission. however.
The company at that time stated that if
the mining company and the Owosso
Sugar Co. could guarantee it sufficient
business to reimburse it for maintain
ing the spur it would be left there
Since that time the track has been re-
paired considerably.
Attorneys Pardee & Day represent the
plaintiffs.
