under the Omaha district Distribution

ly decided to declare a strike at noon,

PLAN FOR PEACE J
TIME ARMY MADE
TO SEC'Y BAKER
Would Provide Rapid Mobiiiza-
ton of Six or Ten Army
Corps in Time Of War
OFFERED AS ALTERNATIVE

Washington, Sept. 24.--A new plan
for reorganization. Of the regular army
on the basis Of skeleton army corps
in each military department with the
department commander also acting as
commander Of the corps has been LAID
before Secretary Baker and General
March, CHIEF Of staff. -sr,
1t is now being examined by spc-
cial committee of officers on duty here.
Officers who evolved the plan say it
would provide a means for rapid mCbi-
lization of six army corps, or Of ten
if the .insular departments were in
cluded. In the event Of war, reserves
drawn from the universal training sys-
TEN would be called out to fill up the
unite to fighting strength. All troops
within department would be placed
under the department commander to
be organized into such provisional div
isions or brigades as their numbers
warranted. .. ..... s..
The project is an alternative for the
present war departments proposal to
hold enough divisions intact to forla
a field army but to organize the corps
only when an emergency arose.

MORE ARRESTS
MADE IN FIGHT
ON ELEVATORS
Langer's Department Charge
Occident Elevator Co. With
Unfair Discrimination
MAY CANCEL CHARTERS

Minot, N. D., Sept. 24.-Assistant
Attorney General, Albert Il. Sheets, Jr.,
today commenced criminal proceedings
against the Occident Elevator Co., in
Ward county at MinOt, for violating
the unfair discrimination act. 1t is
alleged that the Occident Elevators at
Foxholm and Kenmare paid higher
prices for grain on September II, than
was paid by the company on the same
day at their elevator at Funston, ju
McHenry county.
This is one of series of actions
commenced by the Attorney General
over the entire state against the Occi-
dent company, the first arrests being
made in Emmons county. 1t proceeds
on the theory that an elevator company
is not permitted to pay more at Que
station, the difference in freight being
excluded, that it pays for the same
grade of grain at another point. The
purpose Of the law being to prevent Il
corporation owing several elevators
from raising the price Of grain at one
station to force local grain buyer out
of business and lowering it at another
to make up for the loss sustained at
the point where the competitor is be-
ing dealt with.
0. B. Herigstad, states attorney OF
Ward county, said today: Judging
from the steady rise shown by the
market quotation in the price Of wheat
the proceedings seem to have had a
wholesome effect. The correspondence
Of the company taken under search
nf no m
these actions shows this to be correct -
From the same statement Of facts
under which the corporation has been
proceeded against criminal]y. the
agents at Kenmare and FOxhelm have
also been arrested. The complaints
against them charge that there was Il
difference of fourteen cents in the
price which they paid for No. l dark
Northern on September II, between
their elevators and the price that was
paid by the agent at the Occident ele-
vator at Funston, and that there VS.;
only difference of one cent in the
freight. Both of the agents appeared
before Justice A. B. Bill, this after-
noon, and waived preliminary exanl;'
nation and were bound over to the dis
trict court on $1,000 bond.
MAY CANCEL CHARTERS
Over the telephone today Attorney
General LANCER stated :
'"rhe main purpose Of the action
commenced against the old line eleva'
tors in this state is not only to impose
the fine, but also to cancel the charter
of those found guilty of violating the
unfair discrimination act, and prevent
them from further doing business III
North Dakota. 1t is not the intention
of the law to prevent them from pay.
ing one farmer more than another, but
to compel them to pay all of the farm
ers alike, and to protect honest com.

The law under which these actions
are commended provides penalty OF
not less than $500 or not more thar
$4,000, and not more than one yea'
