Grain delays and a Des Moines swindle in grain markets
Grain shipments face delays as rail cars pile up and exporters resist higher demurrage tariffs. In Sioux City the meeting on the new corn grades act drew a small crowd as officials outline eight federal divisions and thirty two supervisors to enforce rules. In Des Moines a Swanson case man swindled out of 7000 dollars in a fake broker operation tied to a Kentucky race scheme. Police seek three suspects and the affair unfolds with a staged broker office and rapid losses.
