Call Sent to Members Of New
Mexico MiIIerS' Association

sentative May Attend,

The New Mexico Millers' associa-
ton will hold its second annual meet
ing here on June 8. r. Il. Putney,
secretary of the association, yesterday
sent out letters to members urging
them to attend.
1t is likely that a representative OF
the federal food administration will be
asked to speak before the association
to clarity matters in regard to the adj
mnistratiou's guaranteed price on
wheat. The members were asked TO
notify Mr.. putney If they intended
coming, and if their replies promise a
large attendance. an invitation will be
sent to the food administration to to
send a representative to the meeting.
The meeting will be held in the, Y.
NJ. c. A. building, starting at 0 O'Clock
in the morning. 1t is expected that 1t
will last only one day.
The secretarys letter says in part:
The millers of the state have
passed through some very trying
times, and have suffered considerably
in this state, through the eXigencies
of the war Your secretary would
like to have reply from each one OF
you, on recent of this letter, stating
that you will attend this meeting or
that YOU will not attend. We gave
the food administration the best there
was in us, during the war. and 1t ~
now our duty. not only to our state,
but to the mllers Of the state, to
maintain the organization which was
formed during the war period. There
are a number of matters of great I'M
portance, which directly affect the
nlillers of the state. believe 1t is the
desire of the millers that represcn-
tatiye of the food administration az
tend this meeting, If possible, that he
may clarity matters as regards the
administration guaranteed price of
wheat, and that we may also enter
into O general discussion as to how
the millers of the state may increase
the production of wheat in this state,
and also as to how theysmay do tIir
part toward keeDiug this wheat with
III our own boundaries
Unless the members of the associa-
ton think differently your secretary
would like to arrange for a number
of spe eches along these lines. One day
should be sufficient for this meeting,
and unless the members of the asso-
| citation are opposed, your secretary
will arrange for banquet to be given
at the Alvarado hotel, at O'Clock, on
| the date above mentioned. at which
| banquet a number of speakers will be
! asked to attend Let us. get together
! in a spirit of good fellowship with a
| purpose of holding together this asso-
| citation, that the state and the millers
may profit ~ an organization which
! did such good service during the war
| oven to the point of milling without
a profit.
So, let me urge upon you the neces-
sity Of attending. and informing me
! Immediately ty mail that you will
! attend. We do not want handful OF
millers to attend for it would be rather
Notifying to your secretary to ask
/ ID. f. Piazzek here to speak to only a
| few. and it would be reflection or
| the millers and on the state. so--find
reason why you should attend and
think of no reason why you should
not attend. Should l find. in the re
plies from the millers. that full at
tendance is not possible. I do not be-
! lieve that YOU would care to have a
representative Of the food adn,inistra

know at once your intentions and de
sires, that may take the matter VI
with Mr.. Piazzek
Some of our millcrs are living II
remote portions Of the state and MA
Efeel that they are SO far remove
from Albuquerque that 1t would wori
"a hardship for them to attend, but lie
