RIGHT TO FIX COST
; IS DISPUTED HERE
Grain Dealers ' Challenge Gov
ernment's Legal Authority
to Control Market.
"VIOLATES CONSTITUTION"
Omaha.'Ohc of the most important
food distributing centers in the Unit
ed States, sat up and took notice when
Secretary of Agriculture Houston rec
ommended to congress that the Coun
cil of National Defense be empowered
to fix food prices.
This city is the foremost butter
market in the world, the second
largest grain market and the second
largest live stock market.
Legislation tending to establish
standard food prices affects materially
the big business interests here.
Leroy Corliss and Charles Harding
declare that fixing the prices of dairy
products would tend to throw out of
joint this city's butter and creamery
business amounting to $10,000,000 an
nually. They intimate that produc
tion itself would be crippled seriously
by price tampering.
Demand to Be Gauge.
Grain men are unanimous in the
opinion that economic demand will
have far more to do with fixing cereal
price! than any arbitrary standard of
values the government may try to es
tablish. Some commission men chal
lenge the constitutional authority of
the men at Washington to govern the
grain markets by mere decree.
Omaha's grain receipts last year
were 75,169,140 bushels. Its ship
ments were 60.890,000 bushels.
Local packers, whose business in
1916 amounted to $149768,860, will
calmly abide, they say, by any order
the government wakes affecting their
industry. '
This is-what representative men in
the-dairy, grain and packing business
said"
Must Consider Costs.
LeRoy Corliss, president ' of the
Waterloo Creamery company, evapo
rated milk 1 don't see how the gov
ernment can fix a maximum price on
any manufactured food without going
back all along the line and fixing the
price of every article that goes into
the production and packing of that
food, together with the labor costs.
Two years ago our one-pound tin
cans cost us $46 per 1,000. Today
they cost lis $85 per 1,000. Even the
paper labels on the cans now cost us
$1.13 per 1,000, while a year ago they
cost us only 56 cents. Fibre cases
have gone up 100 per cent, solder 60
per cent. Labor has advanced 35 per
cent. Miscellaneous items have ad
vanced easily 50 per cent.
.Milk Is Big Item.. .'
Then there is the big item milk.
A year ago we paid $1.20 per 100
pounds. Today it coats $2.15. How
can the government fix the price at
which we must sell our evaporated
milk without fixing the price of ill
the accessories we have to buy? How
can it fix the price of our product
without fixing the price at which the
farmer must sell it to us?
. And the moment it reduces the
price the firmer gets, bingl he will
quit shipping. We in the creamery
business think , the. best possible
stimulus, to production u the high
prices the farmer it getting. You can
preach production: to the farmers till
you're black in the face, but the thing
that wilt stimulate them to produce
more is big prices.
President Charles Harding, of
Harding Creamery company The
fixing of food prices by the govern
ment is such in entirely new idea in
this country that I could not venture
n opinion as to what it would do to
butter or inything els. If the gov
ernment does fix the price of food
ituffs, we will ill hive to govern our
selves accordingly. I should hardly
think the government would do any-'
thing that would inflict unavoidable
losses upon those in the business of
manufacturing these products,
The margin of profit for the big
dealers, now is smaller than it was
before' the high prices came on.
Everything all down the line costs us
more now. Paper cartons for butter
cost 100 per cent more. The 10-gal-lon
cream cans we use are up 100 per
cent, ind to on down the line. We
pay. much more for the cream from
the farmers, and the readjustment
would all have to get right back to
him.:
John W. Redick," publicity agent,
Omaha Grain exchange No matter
what they do, they can't increase the
surplus stocks of grain and foodstuffs.
It is now entirely a matter of supply
and demand and there is no longer
any speculative element in cash grain.
This was apparent Friday, when on
the floor of the Omaha Grain ex
change cash wheat sold at $2.70, or
30 cents over the May option. This
wheat was takjen at this price on ac
count of the demand and it was worth
the money. Of course" the" govern
ment Could fix a miximum price, but
I doubt if i price lower than the
actual market value would be taken
into consideration.
. . Supply and Demand.
J, W; Holmquist, president Holm
quist Elevator company I don't
think the government will take over
the surplus stocks of foodstuffs. I
don't think the necessity for such ac
tion has arisen, and if it should take
tthem over, 1 don't see how prices
could go much lower. Right now
prices paid for cash grain indicate
that speculation has been eliminated
and that sales' are made on the actual
value of the commodities.
E. S. Westbrooke, president Trans
Mississippi Grain company If the
government fixes the maximum price
it which grain is to be sold and eli
uinates speculation, of course that
would be the price that would main
ain. However, if there should not
e the consumptive demand, my judg
ment is that prices would have to de-
:line to meet the ideas of the buyers
who would be willing to hold for the
maximum prices, or until another
consumptive demand appeared. Right
now there is no speculation in cash
grain, every bushel offered fetching
what it is, actually worth for milling
purposes.
Government Is Right.
- C. S. Rainbolt, president Rainbolt
Grain company For long tune I
have felt that the government would
take over the surplus gram and food
stocks. Ever since the declaration of
war this action hasbeen apparent and
the goverament is right, for the first
Uhlans Cut Down

Amsterdam (Via London), April
20. More than 500 German fusi

tried to cross the Dutch-Belgian
frontier near Cadzind, Holland,
saya the Handelsblad, but the at

essential is fo feed our own people
and the second to feed the allies.
While the constitution does not pro
vide for anything of the kind, the
government can take over every
bushel of grain in the country and fix
the maximum or minimum price. If
the government should take over the
grain surplus, for a time it might in
terfere with the business of the
Omaha grain market, but it would
right itself later on.' .
K. .C. Howe, general manager of
Armour packing plants of the South
Side Secretary Houston's recom
mendation that the government regu
late food prices will not be detri
mental to farmers or stockmen. In
taking over the packing plants the
government will first see to it that
the class of products demanded by
the army and navy are supplied. Next
production will be regulated to supply
government requirements first, then
those of the nation at large will be
attended to.
Consumers' League Seeking ;
To Divert Union, Trade
T. P. Shirley, secretary of the Doug
las County Consumers' league, in a
letter read last night at the meeting
of the Central Labor union, urged
members of the union and their fami
lies to divert their trade tQ. the store
owned by the Douglas County Con
sumers' league. " " .
Shirley estimates "thaf: $10,000 is
spent daily in Omaha stores by the
families of members of the Central
Labor union. '. .
"Why - not spend this money in
stores which you yourselves own?"
he asks. -"Thus you can withhold prof
its from those whu are hostile to you
and put profits in, your own pockets,
thereby reducing the high cost of
living. .
C. L. Shamp, 3615 North Twenty
fourth street, recommended that all
members of the Central Labor union
join the Douglas County Consumers'
league as il step of reprisal against
business men who interfere in labor
disputes. '
Shamp explained that stock in the
Douglas County Consumers' league
was controlled by "working men."
Each owner of stock whose par value
a share is $10 has i-voice and vote
in conducting the league's affairs.

Orkin Brothers Cloak Store at
16th and Farnam streets will be
made more convenient by a nice,'
wide Farnam street entrance, just
west of the Burlington Route
ticket office.
Lower Broadway, (16th and
Dodge and Douglas) which was de
serted by "Hatty" Black, is still
a busy mart of trade thank you.
Sorry to see you go, Charlie.
We have secured a fifteen years'
lease for our Owl store in the new
Wolf-Hiller building that will be
erected on the site of the old
Schlitz building.
Handsome is that handsome does
and no matter whether our
stores are new ones or old ones,
we well realize that it is service
and stock, first-class goods, and
price that really count, and this
we strive ever to have in mind.
This is our second "Removal
Sale" in twenty-eight years. The
other one was when we moved our
first "Middle of Block" Blue Front
Drug Store, 1513 Dodge street, to
its present location at the corner
of 16th and Dodge streets in 1900.

Methods Violate Law.
TWO SHIPS REPORTED SUNK
Buenos Aires, Argentina, April 20.
At a meeting of socialists here to
day a rupture occurred over the ques
tion of Argentina's policy toward Ger-
many.
Many members favored mainte
nance of absolute neutrality. Others
desired the party to go on record in
opposition to German militarism and
the conduct of submarine warfare.
After a stormy meeting the execu
tive committee, by a two-thirds vote
approved a declaration to be submit
ted to the forthcoming national so
cialist convention, setting forth that
Germany's submarine methods vio
lated international law and the free
dom of the seas. "
It favors efforts to reach a settle
ment by diplomatic means, but rec
ommends the arming of ships.

sunk by a submarine in the Mediter
ranean. It is also reported that the
