mills are located, since they have
practically a monopoly. Such mills
in selling on the large markets like
Chicago, New York and in Europe,
are compelled to meet the closest
competition. Often sales are made
on these markets at less than the
actual cost of production, and in
order to enable the mills to show
profit on their operations they are
compelled to charge long prices in
the local territory. Should the
state of North Dakota build a num-
Der of small mills throughout the
state, such long profits, as far as
North Dakota is concerned, would
be thing of the past.
"One of the most valuable advan-
tages gained in connection with the
state ownership Of mills in North
Dakota is the encouragement given
to dairying, as a consequence of
cheap prices on mill feeds, thus
making possible more diversified
farming and all the advantages in
consequence thereof"

ager j. a. McGovern, Mr.. Luehrs
and myself indicate that the Drake
mill has paid conservatively u
cents per bushel more for wheat
than has been paid generally
Throughout the state, taking grades
and freight rates into considera-
tion," declares Mr.. Anderson. "The
selling prices of the Drake mill av-
erage so cents per barrel on flour
and SIS per ton on feed less than
the average price being charged
throughout the state by other mills.
Based on the figures of the produc-
tion of the mill, the savings to the
people of North Dakota in conse-
quence are $39,825.
But these figures do not tell the
whole story. AS a consequence of
the increased price being paid at
Drake for wheat, prices paid gener-
ally throughout that section are
higher than in other parts Of the
state. The prices at which flour
and feed are being sold by other
mills Is naturally less In conse-
quence of the Drake competition. In
several towns throughout the state
where the Drake mill has shipped
flour, prices at which mills located
in that section sell flour and feed
have been reduced. This. however,
is not taken into consideration In
the estimate previously, though all
has Injured to the benefit of the
state Of North Dakota,
1T Is safe, however. to say that a
mill of 500 barrels daily capacity or
larger could reduce the cost of pro-
ducing flour under what it now
costs at the Drake mill, The over
head expense on mill the size of
the one at Drake Is practically as
high as on mill of 500 barrels
capacity. The increase in cost
would be largely In the matter of

STATE OWNED MILLS
CAN REGULATE PRICES

BISMARCK, ". D.-Using the
performance OF the states mill at
Drake as an example. W. A. Ander-
son, secretary of the industrial
commission, has issued a statement
which points out the financial ad-
vantages which will accrue to
North Dakotas wheat growers,
flour consumers and feed buyers as
the result Of the state-owned sys-
tenn Of flour mills and elevators.
These advantages will be Of two
classes, says Mr.. Anderson. First
comes the actual cash gained by the
farmers in selling their wheat, and
by the consumers by purchasing
flour and mill feed from the state
plant; and second, are those gain
ed through the effect of the state
mill system as a competitor of the
private mills.
BY way Of illustrating what may
be expected of the Grand Forks and
other mills, to be built by the state,
Mr.. Anderson shows what the Drake
mill has done in these two lines.
He produces figures showing that
in the yearly operation of the
Drake mill, 137,50O bushels of
wheat will be consumed, and 10000
barrels of flour and LILO tons of
mill feed will be produced. All
allowances are made for what the
millers term invisible loss" and
other shrinkages.

Mexicans are being imported by
cheap labor employers in defiance
of immigration laws.
The above summarizes replies to
A. F. of l.. Secretary Frank Morri-
son from scores of trade union of
ficials in Texas, New Mexico, Ari-
zona and other states, who were
asked to wire information regard
ing the labor situation. In every
instance there is a surplus of labor,
The following are a sample of the
kilograms forwarded to the A. F.
of L. official:
Phoenix, AriZ.-lmporting of
Mexican labor into Salt river val
ley has lowered wages of common
labor to point where Americans
cannot compete and cannot main
tain American standard of living.
On cotton ranches they are in a
state of peonage and when they
escape from the ranches drift into
towns and become active competi-
tors of American labor. In lines
other than farming the practice is
a growing menace to living condi-
tions in Arizona. Absolutely no
shortage of labor here.
Brownwood, Texas-There is no
shortage of labor in Texas. Need
no emigration from Mexico. Lots
of men and women out of work.
Houston, Texas, 900 American
citizens are now idle on account of
immigration of Mexican labor into
our city.
Bakersfield, Cal.-No shortage of
labor in this district. Busiest oil
field in world. Sufficient labor to
handle all classes of work when
living wages are paid.

surplus of Mexican labor in this
county, despite the voting OF over

and could have sent more had they
paid living wages, but they could
secure pickers from Old Mexico for
less, 1t is not so much shortage
of labor to do the work as it is IN
adequate wages offered. Hope you
can prevent admission of more of
this labor until there is real
shortage. Our state federation has
been working on this for three
months.
Port Arthur, Texas-No shortage
of labor of any kind in this vicin-
ity. Men of all crafts being laid
off every day. Mexicans being i'm
ported to take their places.
San Mateo, Cal.-No Shortage of
labor in this district.
Alanosa, Cal.-No shortage of la
Dor in this vicinity.
Ely, Nev.-Copper industries has
laid off 200 men here. No surplus
of labor.
Miami, Ariz.--There is a very
large number of Mexican laborers
in the Globe-Miami copper district.
About 20 per cent of these are un-
employed; nothing to indicate that
these conditions will change soon.
Napa, Cal.-No labor shortage in
this vicinity. Napa county farm bu-
reau reports today more help avail

months.
Clovis, New Mexico-We are not
