K. Wiliams, K.C., instead of the usu- al three, the charges made against the co-operative by James R. Mur- ray, formerly assistant general- manager. of the United Grain Growers, Limited, and now a pri- vate grain operator, were gone in- to a great detail, The charges, made in a letter to Premier John Bracken, early in March, were followed by a re- quest for. the appointment of a commission by Colin H. Burnell, president of the Manitoba Wheat Pool and executive head of Mani- toba Pogl Elevators, Ltd., Mr. Murray in his letter to the head of the provincial government, too, had demanded an investigation. Asking the government inquiry, Mr. Murray charged that farmers were "Inveigled" into becoming i shareholders in pool elevators, de- rived of large sums through aver- ages---gained by under-weighting and under-grading to meet "ex- travagantly high expenses" and | jones heen ment by *'hoodkeeping devices." In his letter to Premier Brack- en, Mr. Murray emphasized that he sought to hold a probe on his own responsibility "YT nan assure yon," he wrote, "that it is done solely on my personal responsi- bility. The first.knowledge any member of the grain trade, except myself, will have of this will be when they seen it in print." As Lhe commission drew to a close, this was challenged by T. J. Murray, eounsel for Pool Eleya- tors Limited. He declared the charges of dishonesty, misman- agement and extravagance against the co-operative were made for the purpose of destroying confid- ence in the farmer-controlled ele- vator system. Competition provid- ed by the co-operative had become a menace to the privately operat- ed grain trade, he said, and the only hope was to destroy its ""life- blood"'--confidence, Manitoba Pool Elevators, organ- ized in®1925 with the operation of oight elevators, today is pro- vince-wide. It operates 155 ele- vatprs, built or acquired by pur- chase of private plants at a cost of $2,000,000, ano has more than 10,000 members, Unlike private companies, it does not operate as a line, but hy local associations who have their own board of di- rectors. Each elevator is operated as an individual plant, with the general board of directors in head office in Winnipeg, under the pre- | eidency of Mr. Burnell, 'The usual position 'taken hy the Pool counsel at the start of the probe marked a precedent 1h royal commission investigation in' this province. Onus of proof was on James R, Murray to prove his charges, but the co-operative counsel demanded to he heard first with oral witnesses. This was opposed by A. B, Budson, K.C., senlor counsel for Mr. Murs= ray, but a compromise was reachs that the latter had been concealed' ed which permitted the Pool to present documentary evidence first, along with explanations of witnesges, Throughout the hear- ings, counsel resisting all efforts y introduce the Manitoba Wheat Pool itself into the inquiry, and the power of the commission was challenged when Pool counsel at- tempted to secure production of United Grain Growers documents from officers of that company. The demand was not carried to a decision, and later Popol counsel ecured introduction of the docu- the Board of Grain Commissioners at Fort William, Ont. In a lengthy reyiew of Pool Ele- vators Limited operations, Mr. Murray, from the witness stand, charged violation of the Canada Grain act by alleged improper methods of grading and wejghing. He. centred his eriticism on re- venue received from large aver- ages and grade gains obtained, he claimed, by under-weighing. He also charged expensive elevators had been constructed at 28 Mani- toba points where the volume of trade did not justify such opera- tion: Surptuses accrued in the opera- tion of the elevators had been re- turned to members, it was assert- ed throughout the probe, but Mr. Murray charged the individual member had been penalized through an improper system of weights and dockage. In a'three- vear period, revenue from grade tains and averages alone had to- talled $427,619. This, he declared, to be a much greater revenue than obtained by the Sasckatchewan and Alberta co-operatives in thelr elevator systems. To refute the Murray charges, R. M. Mahoney, general manager of Pool Elevators Limited, Daniel Kane, general superintendent, and W. J. MacDonald, accountant, spent many hours in the witness box. President Burnell, too, testi- fied, and all denied that there had been bad management or a con- spiraey between the board of di- rectors and management of the co-operative to improperly take averages so as to secure revenue to "cover up". mistakes, made in construction and operation policy. T. J. Murray, Pool counsel, in summing up, declared averages were gained nodt only in the e¢o- operative elevator system, but in privately operated plants. It was a common practice, and a para- mount problem of the grain trade. Operators of elevators always tri- ed to "play safe!' so as not to have shortages at the end of the year. "The farmers always knew there were overages; but they were not, disatisfied so long ,as the agents 'did not dig too deep.' " In concluding his testimony. James R. Murray plated several recommendations before Commis- sloner Williams.. He advocated ab- rogation of the present five-year contract, which obligates members to deliver their grdin to ¢o-oper- ative elevators only, and declared any plan of re-organization should be formulated by, or have the sup- port of, the provincia) government, Mr. Murray charged. the cost of operation had not been fairly dis. closed to the membership and it was only through' the contract that the system suryived. : A.

The Foreign Minister, who was heard by a large crowd re- viewed negotiations toward a Franco-Italian~ naval treaty-- which he said he was confident would be successful---discussed the cost of armaments and the League of Nations' activities in arbitration and said the Austro- Cerman tariff union project "would imply the necessity for a profeund alteration of the Aus- trian system."

EE. Brownlee. He contends that the Alberta body is quite capable of continuing to market the wheat crop of this fall. "Aside from the psychological effect it may have on Alberta wheat pool members, and the uses to which it may be put by those opposed to the wheat pool," he stated, 'the Manitoba situation has no bearing whatever on the Alberta picture." He mentioned that anvthing he may have said regarding the need for a wheat. hoard was no digression from his declaration that the Alberta bedy is capable of continuing. "Providing conditions both as tn markets and to crops do not change before fall, then I think a national wheat board with the financial support of the Dominion of Canada would serve a good pur- pose in the marketing of all our wheat Non-Smoking Host: "How do 'von like that cigar?
