Release From lail Reports Indicate Half Force Being Kept in Majority of Plants; Shipping Board Blamed. Topcka, Kan., Nov. 12. The Kansas flour milling industry is on tlic verge of a shutdown, according to a statement made here by John II. Ismert, head of a large company which operates millr here and in Kansas City. Mr. Ismert added'that ; number of mills, including his own, had suspended operations. Seven Topeka 'milling concerns yesterday were ordered) to appear before the state court of industrial relations and show why they should , tiot be held to be violating the indus trial court act "for curtailing produc tion in an essential industry to in fluence prices." Mr. Ismert raid his mill which normally employes 55 to 60 men, , had a force of M on hand today. Holding. Force. "At present the mill is not oper I'ating but we are holding a working lorce available in case we get orders to start operations.. A similar con nil ton exists throughout the state. The industry in Kansas is on the verge of a shutdown. v Reports from other Topcka mills indicated that an average ot per- . yaps a half of a force is being niain , tained. Alillcy claim that reduction of production and cutting, of forces have been necessary by the basis of law of supply and demand, for, the lollowing reasons First, because northwestern mil lers who have been buying Canadian wheat, can manufacture flour for $1. a barrel cheaper than flour can be manufactured in Kansas. Blames Shipping Board. Second, action of .the United States shipping board two weeks ago in cutting the "differential" (duty) on wheat from 25 cents to 5 cents and not cutting the export on flour. "Under the new export duty Eng--lish and European millers can import American wheat and put fllour on the market cheaper than the Amer ican flour can be placed on tht for eign market," said .Mr. Ismert. "This has opened up a foreign market for wheat but naturally oper ates against the fiour industry here, The millers in the northwest who have been buying Canadian wheat can manufacture flour $1 a barrel cheaper than it can be manufactured in Kansas."
