Amendments to Grain Act debated by Senate committee
The Senate banking and commerce committee debated amendments to a Grain Act proposal. A later compromise would let farmers designate terminal elevators but shift weight-liability away from the channel elevator. The plan was defeated 14 to 12 amid opposition from grain pools and disagreement over farmers' rights and shipper obligations. Commissioner Snow defended the board of grain commissioners while Calder and others argued limits on farmer designation. The board's recommendations were read and Snow explained their stance.
