ploies and would increase the cost
of finished steel products by 15 per
cent.

FORCE MAY BE

II Representative of Farmers
Organizations Withdraw
They Lose, They Say
RADICALS CELEBRATE

Chicago, July 6.-Any weapon may
be used in obtaining political con-
troll Of government by the new Fed
Grated Farmer-Labor Party created
here last night, it was indicated in
the tabling of n resolution by the
convention which would have ex-
cluded any group from its platform
which advocated force or violence
or which in any way was affiliated
with an organization that sought
political satisfaction except through
the ballot.
This action twice was supported,
first by tabling the substitute plat
form of the Farmer-LabOr caucus
which included suggestions and lat
er by tabling II resolution recon-
mended by . majority Of the resolu-
tions committee.
Sentiment of the conference on
each occasion was expressed in in
failing voice.
The Federal Farmer Labor party
adjourned as convent on earl date
with only routine business of the
elected executive committee on it's
hands. This committee will meet
late today to choose an executive
council.
The representatives of tt.s Work.
ers' Party, an acknowledged branch
OF the Communists, were jubflant
over the outcome. They pointed out
that the Farmer-Labor party was
ION the run" either way it went. If
it voted to reject the platform then
the Farmer-Labor party was scrap
ped. If. 1t voted to participate then
its organization was merged. Some
strength to this argument was lent
in the fact that number of state
groups of the Farmer-Labor party
served notice in the caucus that
they would go with the Fede-ated
Party regardless of official action
OF their convention. 1t appeared to
observers that the radicals had cap
,tured the convention of the Farmer
Labor party which called delegates
from industrial, economic and farm
ers' organizations to meet with them
In reaching a common ground of
political unity.

Valuation of Grand Forks
Utility Also Is Cut by
Railroad Commission

The Red River Power company Of
Grand Forks is forbidden by the
state railroad commission in an or
der issued today from furnishing
electricity under special contract for
less than cost of production. The
order will affect the street car COM
pany in Grand Forks, the rates, paid
by that city for pumping water in the
municipal water plant and rates for
street lighting. as we'll as about 2d
! contracts for individuals and corpor-
! ations. 81. .,-.-
The theory of the railroad com.
mission is that if some consumers
are served at less than it costs ia
produce electricity the difference
must be made up by other cOnsum-
ers, since the utility is guaranteed
an per cent return on its invest.
ment by law.
The decision has a bearing on ar
guments made before the city com
mission of Bismarck last week when
considering the installation Of OF
burning engines for the city water
plant. Under the decision the city
! could not obtain electric power
for the water plant at less than cost
, of production and fair profit. This
! was the contention of those tha
urged the installation Of oil engines
The rule of the commission, al
laid down in the Grand Forks case
is as follows: 1.-THE commission hav
ing found that any service is fur
nished at less than production cos
is unreasonable and discriminatory
resulting in undue and unreas onabl
preference in favor Of persons en-
joying such rates and against al
other consumers, the Red River Pow
er company is ordered and directed
to remove such discrimination by in
creasing such discriminatory an
preferential rates to the genera
scale of rates provided for herein.
The commission found the cost o
producing electricity. in the Gram
Forks plant to be 1-2 cents per xii
owatt hour, excluding taxes and OF
fee charges. Rates which will be in
creased include that Of Grand Fork
Street Railway company, which
E2l-2 cents per X. w. H., that pai
by the city of Grand Forks for pump
ing water in the city water plant, sal
to be 21-2 cents per X. w. H. an
street lighting rates, sa.~ to be sti|
lower, and q number Of other spe
cial contracts.
The railroad commission ordered
reduction in the general -lightin
rates in Grand Forks, but made n
change in the gas and steam rate
1t found the value Of the Red Rive
Power company, including Ea'
Grand Forks property, to be $1,746
339, "fair present value" The va
uation asked by. the company wa
$2,29S,274. The commission eng
neers found the construction cost {
the plant to be $3.50 .469, the add
tions being made by taking into COZ
sideration increased costs Of labt
and material since the plant We
built.
The Grand Forks case originate
, on petition Of the mayor Of Gran
Forks for lower rates, protest OF tn
company against the previous valu'

More than 100 men representing

resolution to that effect having been
adopted by the commission, it was

Under the new law rewriting the
Guaranty Fund act the commission
may act upon the cases of banks al
ready members that, in the belief
of the commission, have not lived
up to all regulations and may re-
quire conformance to 4 standard
for admission of banks.
Under the resolution the COM
mission will require from new banks
list of the stockholders, number
of shares, stock paid in and other in
formation, and it also has ruled
that the bank will not be entitled
to receive deposits until the applica-
tion for membership under the
| Guaranty Fund has been acted upon
and certificate signed by the
chairman and secretary delivered.
The commission, it was learned
does not look with disfavor upon
suits instituted to. force payment OF
deposits of the first banks to close
of the present closed list. II a suit
had not been instituted in the dis.
