CANADIAN CONCERN EXPLOITED FARMERS
 FUR HUGE PROFITS

Up in Winnipeg. Canada, is the head quarters of the United Grain Growers company, an organization of farmers of western Canada that handled 49,- 100000 bushels of wheat in 1916, the big wheat year in Canada. and which buys at wholesale and sells at retail coal, wire, twine, fence posts, farm machinery, groceries and about every thing the farmer needs and the 5000 members get the profits. The general manager is paid a salary of s15,000 year.
 Up in Alberta is a private concern known as the Alberta Pacific company. which has exploited the wheat farmer of that region and which is now under investigation by the parliamentary cost of living committee at Ottawa. The contrast of the cooperative farm or ganization, the United Grain growers, and the private concern, the Alberta Pacific company, is being sharply drawn in the investigation that shows the advantage of the farmers of their own organization.
 It has been disclosed that John A. Macfarlane, vice-president and general manager of the Alberta Pacafic com pany, draws a salary and commissions amounting on an average to S60,000 a year and that the company on a capital of s3000000 mad paid 99 per cent in dividends in the last six years.
 In the report of the investigation given in the Toronto Globe it is said that MT. Macfarlane on the witness stand admitted he received a salary of s5,000 year and a management com mission of five per cent on the net profits. As the net profits ranged from S323,326 in 1912-13 to s2.113.306 in 1916-17. and s1,779,635 in 1917-1s. the committee members soon figured that Macfarlanes commission in some years would be almost $110,000. After pressure Macfarlane said he received only about half of this and that the remainder was divided secretly among the active management. He refused to divulge their names. but admitted they were managers and might also be directors, and admitted he was a di- rector himself.
 It was brought out that Sir Max Ait ken, now Lord Beaverbrook, was the organizer of the company and is still q large shareholder. Government of ficials were in lon the ground floor
 it seems, as soon after the company was organized six or seven years ago in the office of R. B. Bennett, former member of parliament, and Senator Lougheed, government leader in the senate. Bennett, Macfarlane and their friends obtained control of most of S2,500,000 worth of stock that was is- sued at that time. The company now owns 250 elevators and has a reserve fund of $5.000.000 the earnings having been 300 per cent in six years on a paid up capitalization of s2,500.000. Seeing that it was so easy to roll up riches in handling wheat-and in 1917- iS-it' went into the coal business and now owns ITO coal sheds in Alberta and Saskatchewan
