The report, filed with the board Monday, discloses the mill and eleva- tor showed an operating loss of $16,- 519.39 before considering deprecia- tion and bond interest indebtedness for the first seven months of 1934, while the loss totals $165,197.68 if cluded. Average loss per barrel of flour dur- ing June and July was 7 cents, the teport shows. Loss Under Pederson The loss was incurred under the Management of Ludvig Pederson who was replaced as manager of the state mill and elevator by O. B. Lund, for- merly accountant for the state, July 31. ~ Payment of $7,566.85 to H. A. Bron- son, during the seven months, as at- torney for the mill and elevator also was drawn to the attention of the board by the report. Diehl points out the payments represent among other things, a payment of $4,372.69 “on a claim for services claimed per- formed from December 1, 1929, to of legal question in the report. Criticism of methods of charging employes’ expenses was leveled by the accountant, who said “it has not been the practice of the mill for many years to require receipts for traveling ex- Pense items.” 6 Future loss on differentials on a number of sales by one mill represent- ative “are considerably out of line with regular differentials and the mill will have to stand several thousand dollars of loss when delivery is made on the flour sold on this basis.” Study Previous Audit ‘The audit also includes a compara- tive schedule showing the previous Sudit by the department. During the audit period, the mill operated at about 50 per cent capacity, and manufactured 342,476 barrels of flour.

It also signal- Jed a fight to unionize the industry “100 per cent.” “We shall organize all textile work- ers,” said Francis J. Gorman, vice chairman of the United Textile Work- ers and national leader of the strike. ‘Union chiefs, who led the three weeks’ strike that was marked by death for 1¢ persons, injuries to about 200 and millions of dollars in losses to both sides, said the membership drive would be particularly intensive in the South. President Roosevelt, on the basis of @ report submitted by his special mediation board, asked that the strike end and workers be taken back with- out discrimination. The strike leaders accepted Saturday. No statement has come from the mill operators on Gorman’s announce- ment of a far-flung unionization strike varied. Union leaders claimed ers was “a three with- out pay.” “In the case of some scattered mills, strikers were re; determined to ported stay out pending the ironing out of local situations.

Maddock, former governor and now one of the four members of the national wheat advisory commit- tee. Leaving for Washington, from which he returned only last week, Maddock said immediate action is necessary kota’s farm income is to be properly capitalized. A proposal iooking in this direction ficials of the department of agricul- ture are favorable to it, Maddock said. All it needs now is a “push” from the homefolks to put it over but this states are not to reap benefits which should come to North Dakota. The significant thing about the proposed flax adjustment, Maddock said, is that farmers would be paid for increasing their acreage rather than for reducing it. Also it would Place a premium on efficient farming rather than continuing Textile | program. Imports Are Heavy The basic opportunity for the up- ward “adjustment,” he said, lies in the fact that the United States now imports about half of the flax con- sumed here. Of the domestic pro- duction, North Dakota sup- plies about one-half. Because data are not available, the Proposed “adjustment” benefit would be given to farmers without requir- ing them to supply information on flax planted in the past. Sufficient information is available, however, to devise “base periods” for states and for allocating basic quotas to counties. The flax plan would allot acreage increases to states on the basis of Past production and would provide for payment to farmers of a bonus on every bushel raised on all his acre- age. This would be paid from the proceeds of a processing tax to be levied against crushers, If the flax program is adopted at once, Maddock said, North Dakota will be the chief beneficiary.

Sundays. At present the mill is work- ing to make up about 10,000 barrels, which it is behind in shipments. All sales were reported good, but advanced bookings are affected by the federal ruling, which recently went into effect. This requires the mill to make a storage charge of one third of @ cent a day a barrel after 90 days. This means that concerns, who in the past have booked supplies a year in vance, will have to pay ten cents a barrel a month storage charge after the first 90 days. Noticeable increase over a year ago was reported in the custom milling operations. Exchange flour for wheat averages from 300 to 600 barrels a day. Farmers come from all parts of the state, Lund explained, to exchange their wheat for flour. Exchanges fre- quently total 100 a day. In the week ended September 15, the report showed 2,103 barrels of flour exchanged at the mill for wheat, which amounts to almost ten carloads of flour. The week previous the mill exchanged 1,963 barrels of flour. Lund said wheat trades were ob- tained in the face of the smallest wheat crop that North Dakota has raised in years, and the farmers come from all sections of the state. Many of them have never traded wheat for flour before. Under federal regulations there is no processing tax charged against the wheat where the producer trades it for flour to be used by his own family. PNEUMONIA FATAL TO MRS.

Cutter Argo off Newport, Sept. 24.—()—Fight- ing off a closing rush by the British challenger Endeavour the America’s Cup defender Rainbow Monday scored her third straight victory ‘over the invader in the fifth race of the international yachting series and needs only one more victory to retain the cup. Endeavour was approximately a mile astern as the white-hulled defender swept majestically across the finish line. Her unofficial margin in time was four minutes, one second. Both yachts immediately agreed to race Tuesday. The official finish was: Rain- bow 2:34:05, Endeavour 2:38:06. ‘The elapsed time for the 30- mile leeward-windward course were: Rainbow 3:54:05, Endeavour 3:58:06. ‘This was almost half an hour over the cup record of 3:24:37 set by vigilant in the second race against the British challenger Valkyrie 2nd in 1893 and 11 min- utes over the time of Endeavour in the first race a week ago. Harrassed by an unruly spin- naker at the start, which fouled a jib stay and then tore as it was set, T. O. M. Sopwith and his British crew made a game but futile tail chase most of the way, cutting off a minute on the final 15-mile windward leg of the five minute advantage Rainbow had built up at the ‘261 LOSE LIVES IN ~ WREXHAM DISASTER | \Rescue Efforts Given Up Sun- day After Series of New | | Mine Explosions | | | Wrexham, Wales, Sept. 24.—(?)}—| ‘The death list in the Greshford col-! lieries disaster was officially placed |Monday at 261, classifying it as one of the worst mine accidents in the history of Wales.

J., Sept. 24—Col. H Norman Schwarzkopf, superintend- ent of the New Jersey state police said today Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, when extradited to this state will be charged with “kidnaping and murder.” New York, Sept. 24.—(AP)—The charge that Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, 35, unemployed German car- penter, received the $50,000 Col. Charles A. Lindbergh paid in a futile attempt to ransom his kidnaped son two and a half years ago was placed before a Bronx county grand jury Monday. Supreme Court Justice Charles B. McLaughlin swore the jury of 23 men. but, in instructing the jury, he made no direct reference to the Lindbergh case. The justice, referring to service on the grand jury, told the jurors “this is the most exalted position a layman ever held under the law.” He said the grand jury is “a bulwark of jus- tice,” instructed them on the oath of secrecy regarding what takes place in the grand jury room, informed them that the presence of sixteen was nec- essary to convene the jury and that @ majority of twelve was necessary to vote an indictment. Trail of Ransom Money Is Traced New York, Sept. 24—(%)—The Lindbergh ransom route: Of the $50,000, $18,850 has been recovered. It has been turned up in 776 places by investigators who have traveled 7,600 miles and inter- viewed at least 5,000 persons. The first bill to show up was received at the East River Savings bank at Amsterdam avenue and 96th street April 4, 1932—two days after the ransom was paid. The bulk of the amount recov- ered is the $13,750 found in Bruno . Hauptmann’s garage, and the $2,- 980 turned into the Federal Re- serve bank by a mysterious “J. J. Faulkner.” Bills were passed at intervals in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brook- lyn, and then began to appear last fall in northern New York state and Maine. It has been estab- | lished that Hauptmann went on a hunting trip to Maine last Oc- tober. The high for recklessness was | achieved Sept. 8 when six of the bills were passed in Yorkville res- taurants and cabarets. It was Sept. 15 when Haupt- mann handed the bill to a Lexing- | ton avenue gasoline station at- | tendant that led to his being traced—through his automobile license number—and arrested. Col. Lindbergh to Testify Col. Lindbergh is expected to ap- pear before the grand jury Wednes- day and one of the witnesses expected to be heard Monday is Col. Henry Breckinridge, counsel to Lindbergr who took an active part in the search for the kidnaped baby. Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh left Win- slow, Ariz. Monday, resuming their flight for the east coast. They had slipped quietly out of Saugus, Calif.. Sunday and spent Sunday night at Winslow. The first witness called before the jury by District Attorney Samuel J. Foley and his assistant, Arthur Carey, was Gregory F. Coleman, Bronx news- paperman and close friend of Dr. John F, Condon, the “Jafsie” who paid the $50,000 ransom to a sup- posed emissary of the kidnapers. After his testimony had been given the jury took a recess for luncheon Captain John J.
