fully paid tip. More than half of the
stock has been paid for and the sales
agency will begin operations a soon
as the remainder of the stock has
been sold.
'We will be able to sell the farm
ers' grain to exporters, millers or
on the floor of the grain exchange.
Some of the hct equipment in
Omaha will be at our disposal to
clean, condition and store the mem
ben' grain," announced Mr. Gustaf
on. "Ample credit facilities have
been arranged and will enable us
to handle large volumes of grain
immediately. For the use of this
money we will pay the regular rate
of interest. There will be no hitch
in the plans due to lack of money to
finance the movement of our mem
bers' grain to market."

"The I'nited States Grain Grow
ers is very glad to be able to make
this annoumrment," said President
tiulafsou. "While it is only a year
since organization work started in
Nebraska, ue had expected to be
able to handle grain before this, but
unavoidable obstacles were thrown in
our way and it was necessary to re
move them before we could begin
operations. We expert to make sim
ilar arrangements in Kansas City as
soon as possible. It may be possible
to begin selling grain in Chicago
shortly, but that arrangement has
not been completed. Other selling
agencies will be opened as fast a we
can complete arrangrments with
grain tirms that are able to handle
the large volume of grain covered by
our contract.''
No Promotion Expenses.
As soon as the remainder of the
stock has been sold, members will
be notified that the agency is ready
to accept their shipments of grain.
Indications now are that the Omaha
sales agency will function within a
few days. There will be no promo
tion expenses connected with this ar
rangement and all of the capital
stock paid in will be available for
the financing of grain in addition to
the ample credit facilities already at
hand. Additional stock will soon be
offered to farmers' elevators.

Hoover to Call
Meeting to Stop
Coal Price Boosts
Smaller Nonunion Operator!
Raising Prire of Coal 50
Cent a Week "Moral
Suasion" to Be Applied.
Washington, July 11. Represen
tatives of nonunion coal operators
will he called together near the end
of this week to consider means of
dealing with smaller operators who
are selling coal at prices in advance
of the maximums recently reached by
voluntary agreente.it. Secretary
Hoover said today.
Secretary Hoover said the larger
nonunion operators had been abiding
hy the price agreement faithfully
but the smaller operator were get
ting "entirely out of hand" and in
some places were raivig prices as
much as 50 cents each week. Small
operators in western Kentucky and
one Pennsylvania district, he said,
were the worst offenders against the
fair price maximum.
Too Much for Operators.
Attraction of the open market, he
assertitd, had proved too much for the
smaller nonunion operators and,
while the largi-r operators are hold
ing prices at the mine to from $2.90
and $J, although being offered as
high as $4 a ton. smaller operators
are charging as high as $3.75 a ton
and in the western Kentucky and
Pennsylvania fields as high as $5 or
$6 a ton.
The arrangements made with the
nonunion operators, Mr. Hoover
stated, were purely voluntary agree
ments and representatives of their
associations will be called to Wash
ington to see if they cannot hold the
smaller operators in line or whether
the government will have to take
some action to protect the public."
"More Moral Suasion."
Asked as to the meant at the gov-
rrnment's hands for protrtiiug the
puhhe, Mr. Hoover explained;
"More moral suian, that' all I've
got. Iut it's beeu some stinii to
hold the kiiuaiin for i weeks."
llefin ue date ir the meetintr with
the nonunion operators has not been
set as yet. Mr, Hoover said, adding
they would j tailed together the at
ter part of This week.
