Bell Asserts He Had Not Been
Removed as Manager Of
State Elevator
GOT LAST CHECK IN MAY
Continued on Job After Rift
With Spencer; Explains
Federal Demands

Grand Forks, N. D.. Nov. 17.-R-
Commenting on newspaper dispatches
from Bismarck, G. A. Bell. former
elevator manager and wheat buyer at
the North Dakota state min. denied
Friday that the Federal Grain De-
partment had refused to reinstate the
state mill elevator license as long as
Bell was retained as manager.
Bell also contended he had not
been removed as elevator manager
until the state industrial commission
appointed Ludwig Peterson manager
Of both the mill and elevator. He
asserted that o. L. Spencer, manager
OF the mill. had refused to sign his
pay checks since May, despite the fact
that he had been on the Job.
THE statement ascribed to men,
bers Of the industrial commission that
the federal department has refused
to reinstate the license of the state
mill elevator as long as I remain on
the job. is untrue" Bell said.
1.-THE real reason for cancellation Of
the license was that the federal de-
partment demanded that the entire
elevator be subject to license and the
elevator department be disassociated
entirely from the mill department,
and that the mill manager have
nothing to do with the management
Of ths elevator.
LANCER Used Veto Power
'Tnese conditions were brought be-
fore q meeting Of the state industrial
commission. Two of the members,
viz., Gronna and HUSKY. were in favor
of accepting the conditions required
by the federal department. Their
resolution was defeated by exercise of
the veto power by Governor LANCER"
Telling the story Of his recent Diff
ficulties at the mill, Bell said that
he was appointed manager Of the
elevator and wheat buyer by Governor
Sorlie. He was dismissed as wheat
buyer by letter from o. L. Spencer,
manager Of the mill last May.
II conceded" Bell continued. that
wheat buying should be under the
mill manager and accepted the dis
missal as such, but my commission
named me both wheat buyer ard elev-
ator manager"
Since May. Bell said. Spencer has
refused to sign his salary check
although proper vouchers were pre-
sented.
II have stayed on the Job. until
I learned that two members Of the In
dustrial commission had appointed
Ludwig Peterson manager Of both
mill and elevator. This appointment
supercedes my appointment by Gov
ernor Sorlie.''
Bell. said that last Tuesday. Spen-
Ger ordered the elevator bookkeeper
to move his books and himself into
the mill accounting department, which
was obeyed. II did not give him any
contrary order" Bell explained, las
figured II he refused to obey his
order from Spencer, it would mean
his dismissal which would be an in
Jury to him without helping me-"

Producers, Actors, Directors and Writers Put
Their Heads Together in an Effort to Keep

nobody could give her an answer. Miss
Goudais contention was that the per-
centage was negligible In view Of other
costs and she wanted to know just what
producers were doing regarding cuts on
other overheads
There was no answer to this one.
Neither was there an answer to
Charles Bickfords request for positive
information as to whether or not the
studios would remain open following an
eight weeks pay slash or II they would
then close for IL weeks as has been
rumored while complete reorganiza-
ton Of movie methods takes place.
Exhibitors who feel they have had
more dificulty through the bank holi-
day situation than motion picture pro-
Gucers could possibly have had. are
asking some very pertinent questions
also and making few demands Of their
own.
If exhibitors. writer's, directors, CAM
eramen and actors keep on asking ques-
tions the mushroom which Is the mo-
ton picture industry will be brought
out Of its dark cellar into strong sun
light. 1t won't remain q mushroom.
1t will lose that succulent, rare, mimi
table quality. 1t will lose in juice. in
flavor and in size. I am not enough
Of a horticulturist to tell just what 1t
would become as an article of food but
robbed of its mysterious film fam of
growing. it won't spring from q spawn
into a food product overnight. 1t will
take the same amount Of time. patience
and result that other growthS require.
Thorough investigation of motion pic
true making methods might end with a
decision on the part of bankers that gen.
tlemen who have drawn half million
and more a year out OF this industry
might like to invest some Of that money
In this industry themselves. In short,
that a producer about to make q pic
ture which. calls for two-million-dol
lar budget might like to show sufficient
faith in his expense overhead" and his
own production methods to invest say,
half a million Of his own money in the
project as against the salary and per-
centage he is going to draw from the
finished product.
The producer who draws a Hollywood
salary from making a picture would
rather see that picture box Office. Nat
bank roll through the percentage he OBJ
tains ON box Office smash, but If the
picture is failure at the box Office, the
Hollywood producer still has drawn suf-
ficient salary to make his remunera-
ton a good one. He has everything
to gain and no precious money of his
own risked. There are no personal for
tunes lost in Hollywood.
