Three North Dakota elevator managers charged with discrimination
Three managers LeRoy Irving, B J Schott, and W R Gentz were arrested and bound over to district court on charges of aiding and abetting unfair discrimination by paying different grain prices at multiple elevator locations. Phillip Pfeiffer's grain sales provide the basis, with prices ranging from 2.34 to 2.50 per bushel for No 1 Northern grades. The case prompts possible suspension of Occident Elevator’s North Dakota operations if found guilty.
