f THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. JANUARY 14, 1921. Industries Aid Southeast When Money Tightens Payroll From Railroads and Early Sale of Crops to Can ning Factory Relieve Financial Strain. (TUI lit the third of a series pf articles by Oinalia Bee correspondents on econora io condition in Nebraska.) rlattsruouth, Neb., Jan. 13. (Spe cinl.) The financial stringency and unsettled business conditions brought about fy reconstruction, following (lis war. are probably felt as little in southeastern Nebraska as any place in the state. The decline in grain juices and refusal of farmers to dis pose of their holdings, which is said to be responsible for conditions in this state, as yet is not seriously felt in this section. H. A. Schneider, cashier of the riattsmouth State bank, who has his ringers on the financial pulse of the southeast, finds business slow, due to the attitude of the farmers. In describing conditions he -said: Hold Grain Crops. "The fanners .are practically all holding on to their crops and most of them will continue to do so until prices are better. The effect oi their action is plainly seen in every line of business. Trade is slowing' up in many lines and collections are ex tremity hard. 1 Many merchants are hard pressed to pay their current bills. The only thing which will re lieve the present situation is- for the farmer to get somewhere near the cost of production, which he is now ,.Two big factors are given by resi dents of the southeast for their re lief from present conditions. aavea cy xnausmcs. 1. Plattsmouth finances are rein . t'orced each month by the $85,000 payroll of the, Burington railroad, which has large shops there. This relieves the strain on business houses and keeps up the deposits in banks. 2 Th Nebraska City canning fac tory is a big aid to farmers through out this aistnct. j-arge acreages ui sweet corn and tomatoes were raised and sold under contract early in the season. The income from these crops has taken care of pressing fi nances for farmers and kept the nec essary money in the community for all business to function easily. j 1L tuciiiiniiaiii, -"VI merchant in Plattsmouth, in speak ing of conditions, said: "While most of the farmers in this vicinity arc holding their crops for higher prices, the majority would be glad to sell at Such compromise tigures as o cents for corn and $2 for wheat. Small Towns Hurt. " "Their action is impairing credits, especially in the out-country toWns, where the merchants have nothing but fanner accounts to depend upon in meeting their obligations," Mr. . Soennichsen said. "Here in Platts mouth the Burlington payroll is the presents Situation means banks ruptcy for the tenant farmer and I' ean see no - relief; in sight save through the farmer getting a price commensurate with his production cost." Higher prices for farm products is the only solution of the problem which Nebraska is facing, according to leading citizens of the southeast There appears to be no question that farmers are able to hold their grain until they get what they believe is a fair price. Ed Tritsch, prominent farmer and extensive land owner, residing west of Plattsmouth, when questioned re garding the view the majority of farmers have on how the situation can be relieved, said. Farmers Not Anxious. "The crops are all on the farms. The farmers can decide for them selvt3 without assistance when they will sell. There are very few ten ant farmers in this vicinity and those who lease are pretty well fixed. When prices are right we will take care of selling our crops ourselves." It is variously estimated that farm ers will sell from 5 to IS per cent of this year's crop at present prices of about 50 cents for corn and $1.50 for wheat. Farmers now selling are usually consigning their shipments to Omaha commission houses direct and ignoring local buyers. County Agricultural Agent L. R. Snipes of Weeping Water, who is in charge of the farm bureau member ship campaign declares that organ ization -by farmer! and a slight ad . vance in price of grain will start pro- - r : , .

Avoid Middleman. , "Not over 5 per cent of the corn crop is being sold and that is being consigned by individual owners for sale in Omaha and other points, the farmers paying local elevator owners a set price for running the grain through their elevators, Mr. Snipes said. "The large majority of farmers say they will gladly let loose of their crop if they can get o5 to 70 cents a bushel for it "The greatest relief-to my mind is through organization and it is with this in mind that we are con ducting a drive in Cass county for members to the state and federal farm bureau." The prices at which farmers will sell their grain is variously estimated at from 65 to 75 cents for corn and about $2 for wheat The more hard pressed farmers are expected to sell at the lower figure while many of the more wealthy will hold for the top price. The cornnow being sold is said to consist principally ol sur plus, which cannot be stored in gran aries and would deteriorate if piled on the ground. . Must Have Profit John B. Kaffenberger, a promi nent farmer near Plat&mouth, de clares fanners will not sell gram until it can be sold at a profit "Ex cept for a small percentage, being sold a load at a time to tide the owners over, the corn crop is being held intact and will continue to be until the farmers are able to get at least cost of production," he said. "Cost of production here will run in the neighborhood of 65 to 75 cents with, present high-priced land, ma chinery and labor. Hoskers were paid 7 cents a bushels, in my opin ion the greatest and pnly relief will be through the producer getting cost price, when I believe the majority will unload."

BAD BREATH Employes Laid Off by 43 Large Firms in Omaha 9,000 Out of Work, C. of C. Report Shows Better Con ditions Are Predicted in Near Future. In a survey of labor conditions compiled by J. M. Gillan, manager of the industrial bureau of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and forwarded to E. F. Fader, St. Louis, district director of employment, for use in the United States Department of Labor publication, there is shown a curtailment of employment in 43 of the largest industries of Omaha On January I, iw.su, according to Mr. Gillan's figures, there were 23,110 men and women employed in these concerns, while on January 1, 1921, there were 18,300, showing a decrease of 4,800. " While. January is a month when many mechanics and artisans arc out of work because of unseasonable conditions, it is estimated that be tween 1,500 and 2,000 mechanics and 2,000 common laborers are out of work. In making a careful survey of labor and working conditions ex isting now Mr. Gillan estimate the number of men and women here out of employment to be about 9.000. With the beginning of ice harvest ing and an increase in the receipts of hogs at the packing plants h the near future, Mr. Gillan says that many of the unemployed will find work. In addition, other manufac turing plants are expected to open up activities, among them being the Ford Automobile company, which will furnish 400 men with work In making his survey of labor con ditions Mr. Gillan asked 100 manu facturers if the low tide in unem ployment had been reached. Ten replied they believed no more re duction ' in employment would be made; six answered there would be further reductions and the others re plied thaf they were undecided.

Officials of the Fairmont Cream ery company in Green Bay, Wis., were not. arrested Wednesday and no goods were seized by the state food department because of being held in storage longer than allowed by law, as stated in a dispatch from Green Bay, E. T. Rector, vice presi dent of the company, with head quarters in Omaha, said yesterday afternoon. The report stated that Deputy Food Commissioner Charley J. Kramer announced the arrest of the owners of the Green Bay plant and the seizure of 15,000 pounds of but ter and 610 cans of liquid eggs. It further stated that the dairy and food commission of Wisconsin ordered the goods placed on the market at once. It was alleged the butter and eggs were held in cold storage in violation of state laws, with no marks 'to show on what date the articles were placed in storage. "A complaint was filed by an in spector last Monday but later was dismissed," Mr. Rector declared, "because there is no federal statute regulating the period over which goods may not be held for interstate shipment No marks are required by federal law. These goods in question were for interstate ship ment.

War Hero Changes to "Shadow Fighter" in Eyes of War Bride No longer is Vere L, Cottrell a fighting hero, but only a "shadow fighter," in the eyes of his war bride, Zella Cottrell. In a petition filed in district court yesterday Mrs. Cottrell charges that while she is toiling daily for a living, "the defendant basks in the fumes of cigaret smoke in a local pool halt and tells cf the important part he played in winning the war." Vere Cottrell was stationed at Deming, N. M in the stirring days of 1919 and there, on January 19 of that year, they were wedded. He was a hero in the eyes of his bride that day. m But alas for, dreams! The war came to an end and today Vere is anything but an ideal husband, his wife alleges.
