This act, passed by the League legisla- ture, provides strong safeguards against grain buyers purchasing grain at false grades and requires buyers either to pay for dockage at its mar- ket value or to return it to the pro- glucer, minus the actual cost of clean- ing. 5 For months it has been reported about the Minneapolis Chambe¥ of Commerce that attacks upon this law were considered. Finally a suit was brought by a so-called “Farmers Ele- vator company” of Emden, N. D., ask- ing the granting of a temporary in- Jjunction, pending the actual trial of the case on its merits. Federal Dis- trict Judge Amidon of North Dakota refused to grant the injunction and the case was carried before three dis” trict judges sitting jointly at St. Paul —Judges W. H. Sanborn of St. Paul, Page Morris of Duluth and W. F. Booth of Minneapolis. These judges granted the injunction. Attorney General Langer’s deputies were at the hearing, supposed to be representing the state, but the Asso- ciated' Press report states that Lan- ger’s deputies made no attempt to deny the statements of the elevator company attorneys, who asserted that the law was “unconstitutional as it ap- plied to interstate commerce, because it places substantial burdens upon in- terstate commerce in undertaking to require taking out of a license, and re- quiring the keeping of records of all grain bought and sold, and thatesthe grain shall be-inspected before being sold, prescribes the grades to be used and the method of deducting dockage.” This failure of the attorney gen- eral’s office to defend the action ap- parently left the three judges no choice but to'grant the injunction. The granting. of the injunction does not mean that the law has been held unconstitutional. The case now goes back to be heard on its merits before Judge Amidon at Fargo. - The in- junction means, however, that during the time the case is being heard upon its merits and until a final decision is rendered the law will not be operative. It is probable that a final deeision can not be rendered until fall. This will . mean, therefore, that the 1920 crop can be bought by dagents of the Minne- apolis Chamber of Commerce under the old rules, with no payment for dockage and no chance for the farm- ers to compel buyers to take the grain at the grades established by the state grain inspection department. On account of the failure of the at- torney general’s office to represent the farmers satisfactorily, Governor Fra- zier of North Dakota has appointed Attorney William Lemke to represent the state in the hearing of the case on its merits before Judge Amidon. Among the allegations of the eleva- tor company lawyers, which Attorney General Langer’s men failed to deny, was the statement that under the Neorth Dakota law the elevator com- panies graded the grain, and not the state. Doctor E. F. Ladd, president of North Dakota Agricultural college and chief grain inspector for the state, said: “The allegations of the grain com- pany that the elevator agent is the grain grader and not the state is false. The grading is done by the state of North Dakota and the elevator agent when performing this duty is the agent of the state and not the company. As a grader of grain the agent is under bond for the faithful performance of this duty. If he does not do the right thing by the farmer who sells grain the farmer can appeal to the grain inspection department. The agent is under the direct supervi- sion of the state grain inspection de- partment at all times and wholly re- sponsible to it. “I believe that if these matters had been - presented to the court there would have been no injunction issued, but the constitutionality of the law tried out without stopping the opera- tion of it in the meantime.” Car Shortage Inj:ures Producers President A. C. Townley Asks Interstate Commerce Com- mission to Order Pooling railroads to private man- agement the car short- age has grown so much worse that every branch of industry is threatened. The car shortage is hitting farmers worst of all, and President A. C. Townley of the Nonpartisan league has urged the interstate commerce commission to use its power to “pool” the equipment of the railroads to meet the emergency. President Townley has appointed George P. Hampton, managing “direc- tor of the Farmers’ National council, which maintains headquarters at Washington, D. C., to represent the League in this matter before the inter- state commerce commission, sending him the following telegram of author- ization: “George P. Hampton, Bliss Bldg., Washington, D. C.: The existing car shortage for transportation of the farmers’ products is imposing a great burden upon the farmer and the con- sumer. Request that you represent x| INCE the return of the us and ask interstate commerce com- | mission to exercise power conferred upon it by section 15 of interstate com- merce act, as amended by transporta- tion act, to order a pooling of the equipment of railroads during emer- gency. “A. C. TOWNLEY, “President National Nonpartisan League.” Power to meet such an emergency is - conferred by the Esch-Cummins bill, returning the railroads to private management. Farmer and labor rep- , resentatives, when opposing the re- turn of the railroads to private man- agement, were told that whenever an emergency arose section 15 of the Esch-Cummins act would allow service under the same conditions ag if the roads were under government man- agement, ® In many sections of the country the “ship by truck” movement is gaining immense headway as a result of the failure of the railroads to function properly\ especially where good roads permit-the use of trucks economically.
