also who are doing their best.
A short time ago a Nonpartisan
meeting was held in our home town.
We awaited the coming of the speaker
with no little trepidation. No doubt
all of the speakers are good-but we
wanted a very good one to speak here,
knowing some of the sentiment in our
own neighborhood and town. How
pleased we were when Mr.. Schumacher
and Mr.. Brewer presented themselves
and am thoroughly convinced that
no small number changed their views
right then and there.
Several new ones went forward to
join. Before that they had only learn
ed through clippings from other
papers, some of them detrimental to
the cause, of course, and were judging
us by that standard. Now I think they
understand and will not be SO harsh

New York Rebels at Extortion
State Agricultural Society Joins Northwest in Demand
Relief From the Milling Trust

fore G. J. Brand, chief of the bureau
of markets.
That the Eastern farmers do not in
tend to submit to this extortion is
shown by resolutions passed by the
State Agricultural society of New York
at Undertook, N. Y, January 18. A
copy of the resolutions is given below.
It will be noticed that the New York
farmers are going directly to their
senators, to the food administration,
the head of the federal trade commits
sion (Which is now exposing the depths
of the beef trust manipulations) and to
julius H. Barnes, head of the wheat
buying corporation. The resolutions
are as follows:
"Whereas, the farmers wheat has,
since August last, been delivered by
the food administration to the miller
at fixed prices, the millers agreeing
with the food administration to sell
the product of the wheat at a profit
of rs cents a barrel on flour and SO
cents ton on bran and shorts; and,
Whereas, the licensed dealers were
in October last able to sell wheat bran
in eastern New York at $38, ton, or
less, all of the interests doubtless then
getting their full allowed profits; and,
Whereas, the price of wheat bran
was advanced during December last to
$45 to $48 ton by the same dealers,
indicating an abnormal and unreason-
able profit to the various interests of
81 to $40 ton taken from the farmer,
on the basis of the October price, and
more yet on the basis of the food ad-
ministration's milling circular effec-
tive December rs; be it
"Resolved, by the New York State
Agricultural society, in annual meet
ing assembled, that the federal authori-
ties be urged to demand and secure re-,
endorsement by the various interests
of all excess profits taken from the
farmers throughout the country on
bran, middlings and flour middlings
produced from wheat taken at fixed
prices; and be it
"Resolved, that copies of these reso-
lutions, attested by the signatures of
the president and the secretary of the
society be sent to Herbert c. Hoover
of the food administration, Julius H.

pei the war profiteers in grain
and it's by-products to cut out the prof
its in excess of those they agreed to
take when the price of flour and feed
was agreed upon. Last August, after
the wheat of the country had been
Communicated at a price of $2.20 de-
livered in Chicago, the food administra-
ton entered into conferences with the
milling trust to get the lowest practic-
able figure on the products made from
wheat, including flour, bran, middlings
and other feeds. This was not compul-
sorry, as the price of wheat was
with the farmers, but after various
conferences the food administration
announced the millers would be satis-
fled with 25 cents barrel profit on
flour and so cents ton profit on
feeds, and that prices on these prod
ucts would be reduced to that figure
It was many weeks before the price
of flour was reduced and it has been
insisted by many who have carefully
calculated the profits, that the millers'
profits on flour are still far above Is
cents a barrel. But the price on the
feed products was never reduced. It
rose steadily. In short time it had
advanced from So to $6 per ton at
Minnesota points and far more than
that in the East. A. C. Loring, head
of the Pillsbury Flour Mills company
(who is also now acting as Northwest
ern representative Of the food admin
istration in regard to flour and feed
prices) admitted on December at
Minneapolis that millers were making
over SO a ton profit on feeds but said
they would refuse to lower the price
because other dealers who handled
the feed after the millers let loose of
it, would make this profit if the millers
didn't. He also said that if the millers
cut down this extortion, the shortage
of feed products in the East was so
great, that the East would gladly pay
the price and drain away all feed and
the Northwest would be left without
any. These were the only reasons he
gave for the millers' violations of their
agreement to sell at SO cent profit.
This admission of Mr.. Loring, was
wrung from him under the sting of
questions shot at him by Colonel Will
kinson and other farmer representa-
tives at the federal grain hearings be-
