SLASHINC PRICES
IN BEMIDu ARE
NOT WARRANTED
Merchants Prices Lower Here
Than in Cities Where Cut
Has Been Made

The wave of price cutting through
out the country naturally raises the
question in Bemidji as to why prices
have not been lowered here.
Careful investigation has shown
that Bemidji merchants never charg-
ed as high prices for merchandise as
has been charged in Eastern cities,
where the cost of doing business and
compelled them to do So.
The Bemidji scale of selling has al
ways been on a fair margin and on
d lower level than in those cities
where prices are now being cut. Even
with the price cut, they are not yet
down to that level which is being
charged in this section of the state.
There seems to be no way Of de-
just what caused the cut
of prices in various sections, but IT.
is pretty we'll agreed that banks have
made a demand for money they have
loaned and that the big merchants
were forced to sell at reductions In
order to meet the demand.
Bemidji dealers are turning their
goods at figure which is just about
what the manufacturers :ra demand
ing for fall delivery. In many cases
goods, if not entirely sold out at this
time, would have to be replaced at q
figure higher than what the 'nerch-
ants are asking for them. today.

100000 FACING
IDLENESS IN

Car Shortage Due to '|Outlaw
Strike" Threatens to Halt
Building Operations

(By International News SerVlce)
New York. May 24.-1magine a
city Of 100000 people confronted
with the possibility Of having all OF
it's workers thrown out Of employ
ment if you can:
No such problem as this has ever
arisen to tax the brains OF the city
fathers Of any of our precious few
American cities, of that -size.> But
little old New York may soon be
called upon to find solution for Just
such q circumstance.
Three hundred thousand men In
New York city alone are facing the
prospect of being thrown out Of work
within the next sixty days unless the
railroad car shortage, brought about
by "outlaw" strikes and other causes,
is speedily relieved, according to Ed
ward L. Hanna, president of the Gen.
trail Federated Union.
Hanna believes that the building
industry may be completely tied up
at the end of this month. Two thous-
and five hundred carpenters and &C.
ment workers have already been laid
off. Something like $4,000 more have
been warned that they cannot expect
employment beyond the first Of June
unless conditions improve.
Stop orders have been placed on
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of building contracts, reports
filed with the federation show, and
the situation is growing hourly more
acute.
matters have reached the point
where it is almost impossible to OBJ
tain cement for building operations
here" Mr.. Hanna explained. 1.-The
railroads are maintaining an en-
barge on the essential, and it is out
of the question to try to- obtain
floats.
"As near as we can find out, vir-
tually all the cement being shipped
in here at all is brought in by spec
ulators by barges from Kingston
and other points up the Hudson.
When shipment arrives, these
Spectators hold a regular auction

There are hundreds of empty cars
in freight yards about the city, but
they are not being moved in any large

The condition is said to obtain
