U. S. Agricultural Products
Worth 200 Million Dollars

FARMERS MAY Give AID
Failure to Secure Credits May Result
In Grain Holding Movement Until
Market Prices Provided Rea-
sonabie Profit.

Neutrality-suspicious. leaders parti-
cipated with representatives of far
mers from owe the country in a
further conference to devise ways and
means for obtaining credits for "the
orderly marketing' of farm products.
Failure to secure such credits, speak
ers declared, might result in the in
auguration Of a general holding move
ment until market prices provided cost
OF production and a reasonable profit.
A general committee to draw up a
policy, to be followed by the confer
ence, was appointed, with all the va
rious agricultural interests represent
ed. 1t went into executive session i'm
mediately.
A loan of $1,000, 900, 900 by the Uni
ted States to Germany was one plan
laid before the policy committee. Viii
liam W.. Brauer, New York, who as
serted that he represented the German
government, asked the committee to
1ndorse legislation by Congress, au-
thorizing such a loan to Germany. He
said that the German government was
prepared to give such a loan priority
over all rcparations payments under
the Versailles treaty. Property of the
German government and the German
nationals, seized by the alien property
custodian, and claims arising from
seizure of German shipping would be
offered as additional security, Brauer
said.
Germany was ready to purchase
$500, 600, 900 worth of agriculture prod
ucts Immediately, he asserted, on such
an extension of credit.
Mr.. Brauer said that he held a con-
tract with the German government,
authorizing him to secure the $1,000
100000 loan and to have sole charge
Of expending the proceeds.

To CURB PROFITEER|NC
Coal Operators to Aid Palmer to
Stop Gouging.
In Discussing Coal Prices Operators
Say That They Only Receive
Reasonable Profits.

Cleveland-At an open meeting here
of approximately 1000 coal operators
representing 1000 soft coal operators
in the country and three-fourths of the
total production, a resolution was una
nimously adopted pledging their sup
port to Attorney General Palmer to
eliminate unreasonable high prices and
unwise practices where such exist.
This action was taken following the
receipt of a message from the Attorney
General requesting the bituminous coal
operators of the country to cooperate
with the Department of Justice in
bringing about the elimination of un-
reasonable high prices for coal.
The general meeting was called by
Colonel D. B. Wentz, president of the
National Coal association, to consider
a telegram sent by the Attorney Gen.
eral to the association last week, urg.
ing that steps be taken to eliminate
%exorbitant prices for soft coal.
Profiteering is Denied.
In discussion at the open meeting
many maintained that bituminous op
orators generally were only receiving
reasonable profits and that the large
majority strongly condemned profiteer
ing in coal prices, which, if it existed
was the exception rather than the
rule.
A message from the National Coal
association committee to G. H. Aitchi
son, Interstate Commerce Commission
recommending that Mr.. T.. Griggs
Cleveland agent of the commission, in
charge of the movement of coal to the
Northwest by lake steamers and in the
Ohio, Michigan and Indiana districts
be authorized to vary lake allotment:
SO as to provide best movement to the
Northwest and at the same time pro
vide relief for domestic users, was reat
at the meeting.

Stagnancy in Buying BY Dock

Commerce CommiseIon-North.
west Supply Held Ample.

st. Paul-Charges that the people Of
the Northwest had turned their
backs on efforts Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to procure
them fuel, were made by Judge John
f. MCGEE, on the receipt here Of news
from Washington that priority orders
for the shipment Of coal here via Lake
Erile ports had been Indefinitely
suspended. Judge MCGEE has just re-
turned from Washington and Cleve-
land, where he worked, as fuel COM
missioner of the Northwest, in the in
terest of coal consumers here.
Emergency orders for the prefer
ence in car supply and priority in the
movement of bituminous coal to Lake
Erie ports for trans-shipment to the
Northwest, were suspended by the In
terstate Commerce Commission after
it had become generally known that
such action would be taken. The
suspension of the order, to take effect
Immediately, was a surprise to coal
dealers of the Twin Cities, although it
had been rumored in official circles
that it would be withdrawn about No
vember 1.
That this action is not a real cause
for alarm to consumers here, and that
there is little danger of any actual suf-
fering this winter, was the opinion ex-
pressed of C. A. Bruce, secretary of
the Twin City Coal Dealers exchange,
representing most of the retail coal
dealers in Minneapolis and St Paul.
Congestion at Terminals.
In ~suspending the order, the COM
mission gave the following reasons:
First-Lake Erie terminals have be-
come seriously congested with loaded
coal cars because of slow buying by
Northwestern dock companies.
Second-The shipments are nearly
up to those of last year.
Withdrawal of the Northwest order
leaves in force only the general prior
ity of coal over all other traffic moving
in coal cars, and about 10000 cars
have been specially released from that
order for movement of building and
road materials and certain perishables,
such as sugar beets.
The suspension follows closely on
the return to the Twin Cities of Judge
MCGEE. Before leaving Cleveland,
Judge MCGEE predicted the withdrawal
of the order if dock companies con-
tinued their apparent hesitancy in pur-
chasing the product.
