WAGE RATE BATTLE

st. Paul, January 26.-The state
minimum wage commission went be-
fore the supreme court here today in
its first battle to establish the valid
ity of it's rulings. .
Judge Albert Johnson of Red Wing
recently granted the G. o. Miller
Telephone company of Goodhue coun-
ty an Injunction restraining the COM
mission from enforcing its rulings
in regard to wages and hours Of
labor. The commission appealed to
the supreme court.
Today attorneys representing the
commission appeared before the
high tribunal to argue the appeal. 1t
is believed the court will hear the case
as quickly as possible in order to
establish the status of the state body.
The commission was established
by the legislature to fix wages, hours
of labor, and working conditions for
women and minors, according to
their contention, and since the war
fixed the minimum wage for women
and minors $11 a week. The telephone
company refused to recognize the
ruling on the ground it was unjust.
The company declared business would
be wrecked by the ruling.
The wage commission is headed
by Charles w. Gordon Of St. Paul.
Eliza Evans is secretary.

:GRONTHOFFARMERs'
ELEVATORS. IN STATE

Farmers elevators rapidly are
growing in number and importance in
Minnesota, according to j. T. Probst-
field. supervisor Of local warehouses,
in his annual report to the Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission
His figures for the crop year ended
August 81, 1919, show that the line
elevators decreased in one year from
613 to 537, while the number OF
farmers elevators increased from 1856
to 800. The latter handled 1873 per
cent Of the entire grain crop of Min
nesota, whereas the line houses
handled but "a 8 per cent. His report
further shows that whereas the aver
age line house during the last crop
year received only 1872 bushels of
grain, the average farmers elevator
handled 140,179 bushels. On account
of the great demand for flour the
mills bought more heavily than usual
and their elevators handled 110,890
bushels of grain on the average.
Mr.. Probstfield is authority for the
statement that the number of farm
ers' elevators increase substantially
every year and at the present rate OF
growth the farmer elevator companies
soon will handle the bulk of grain
harvested in Minnesota
Following is a summary of the
business Of the primary elevators or
so-called local grain warehouses in
