Farmers Seek Restitution From Red Cross Fees
More than two hundred claims were filed with a five member committee appointed by State Food Administrator Wilson to recover money paid to the Red Cross by farmers in Brown and Nicollet counties. Hearings were held at New Ulm’s Commercial Club rooms. The panel includes H. L. Beecher, F. W. Johnson, George Berkner, W. H. Dempsey, and Alfred J. Vogel. The effort aims to return funds without attorney fees, with claims to be accepted any time but urgency noted to resolve the matter.
