Helena, Jan. 29.-Holding that the
subject has already been covered in
order No. 267 of the Montana trade
commission, fixing rates for custom
grinding Of wheat and for its exchange
and commercial marketing based on
the cost of milling. the house agricul-
tural committee Saturday presented a
lengthy report on the complaint Of
Carbon county grain growers against
the deduction Of Minneapolis freight
charges upon grain milled within this
state. The report, Of which 500 cop
les were ordered printed for distribu-
ton, follows:
"The committee on agriculture has
had under consideration the petition of
certain grain growers Of Carbon county
relative to the price paid by flour
mills for wheat and the price charged
by the mills for the manufactured pro-
duct.
Complaint Is Limited
1.-THE basis of the complaint is to
the effect that the mills pay for wheat
price based on the Minneapolis price
less freight, and place on flour a
price based on the Minneapolis price
plus freight. The petitioners ask for
legislation to prevent this practice.
"Your committee does not under
stand that there is complaint as to the
price paid for wheat which is to be
manufactured into flour for shipment
out of the state. It is manifest that
| the mills must pay for such wheat the
Minneapolis price less freight and
| handling charges. The only conten-
| ton must therefore be over the price
! paid for wheat to be manufactured into
| flour and feed for consumption within
the state. .....
